XnView Software

I got a new monitor and changed some of my display settings, and now Show Information is displaying buggy (see screenshot http://imgur.com/J3B7u.png ). Here's my configuration: xnview 1.96 XP SP3 windows XP DPI Setting: 120 primary monitor: 1280x1024 secondary monitor: 1650x1050 The weird thing is t...

@bucky exactly. thank you for the explanation: that makes it more clear. but why are the normal and the lossless mode working different / are not both working on the basis of an 8x8 block? I believe that when doing normal/lossy rotation, the entire image is being rotated as one, then resampled/reco...

@bucky i can understand that image blocks consist of 8x8 pixels. but that does not answer why the different rotations in my example produce different pictures. Here's the explanation of each one: 10x30 image 1. browser click lossless rotation -> performs lossless rotation -> result cropped 2. brows...

In Browser, regardless of "use lossless rotation when possible (jpeg)" option, when I click the "Rotate clockwise" toolbar button, nothing happens, image is not rotated, preview just blinks. That's not what happens for me. When I click "Rotate clockwise" button in browser, the image does lossless r...

why is the above described cut off happening? what is so special about the 8 pixel multiple? does it occur for both dimensions? why are the rotation modes working different? I believe JPEG is encoded in 8x8 blocks, so if the image is not a multiple of 8 pixels in either dimension, then it will be c...

I like to Show Information for all EXIF metadata, but I am running up against the length of the Show Information field. Could you make it longer (maybe 5x)? Make: <Make> Model: <Model> Artist: <Artist> Copyright: <Copyright> Date Modified: <Date [Y-m-d H:M:S]> Orientation: <Orientation> Date taken: ...

That would be nice. Currently, I add the EXIF value that I want to the Show Information.

Is there a way to display EXIF maker notes in the Fullscreen Show Information? Maker notes are proprietary EXIF values that different camera manufacturers use. I can see them in the EXIF properties window, but I can't seem to have them display in fullscreen.

I only see rotate 90 and recreate..
But I can't view, or get it........

I use exiv2 command line utility to view/set EXIF thumbnails. Not that user friendly, but if you must do this, then this is an option for now.

Is there a help/documentation for the keyboard/buttons commands for XnView Pocket for Windows Smartphone?

That seemed to remove the movies altogether from browsing (using page up/down). What I was looking for was a way to be able to browse through movies and photos, but not automatically play the movies until I click the Play button.

I see that there's an option (Option > Browser > Preview > Auto play for Video/Audio) to disable auto play video in the Browser mode preview window. Is there a way to do the same thing in Viewer mode? I use page up/page down to scroll through images and videos in a folder. But I do not want the vide...

I am a recent convert to xnview. I like everything about xnview better than all the other image viewers except for one area: cropping. In most image viewers/editors, there is an option to specify the Width the crop size, then it will automatically calculate the Height based on the current aspect rat...

Thank you for your very helpful post. There was 2 key things that your web page helped me with: 1. In my Options > Browser > File List, it did not display the text for "Include" or "Exclude" under the "Custom Files". It was just blank (maybe a bug?) But your screen shots helped me understand it. 2. ...

I want to skip .xcf files (gimp) in the browser. I can't seem to figure out how to exclude it. I see Options > Browser > File List, but that only seems to have general categories like images, audio, video. Is there a way to control specific file types to include or exclude?
