XnView is free for private usage, XnView DeLuxe is not. It has more functionality than XnView and is also developed by Pierre for the company Xzeos Sofware.
Some of the extra functionality of XnView DeLuxe (taken from XnView Website):
* Album management, category management
* Export wizard, retouche wizard, email wizard
* Show HTML, PDF
* Show SVG, Flash if plugin is installed
* Convert image into PDF
* Project management
* Transitions and audio in slideshow
* Slideshow export in EXE, video, CD, VCD & SVCD
* Better player (mp3, ogg vorbis, ...)
* Show content of ZIP, RAR, CAB & ACE
* Archive create
* Send by email, FTP
* Enhanced web pages with templates

Thank you for your interest, claification, and accolade for XnView. XnView (free) is developed by Pierre, the same applies for XnView DeLuxe but Xzeos has all the rights and Xnv DeLuxe is commercial, only. Often, Pierre has little time and is not too verbose, so this might have been the reason why the answer was not so clear at that time.adesigninteractive wrote: how fortunate we are, and grateful should we be for the benevolence bestowed upon us in XnView (free version). I'm very happy to see that there is a deluxe version to reward these gentlemen (and ladies of course, if applicable!)
anytime! it's the least i can do for one of my most frequently used software programs!helmut wrote: Thank you for your interest, claification, and accolade for XnView.
True in some respects. At a stage, people are free and independant, for example as student or as single. But at another stage you have to face the facts and earn money, so often the developers are under pressure and have to give up freeware. This applies to many freeware softwares, fortunately it doesn't until now for XnView.adesigninteractive wrote:i only wish i had the excess fortune to send a gift / donation to help further development. as it stands, i have very little fortune, so i use all of the "Free" software i can get my hands on!
ya know what-- it's the Free which are also so often the best choice in apps as well! remarkable how it turns out sometimes. that old saying "you get what you pay for", definitely does NOT apply to software!!
Sometimes the tangent is the right way.adesigninteractive wrote:(sorry to get off on a tangent, but...)
All very true. There are many good guys out there, but also a number of bad guys which can really cause a lot of pain in the a%&.adesigninteractive wrote:i guess a lot of it just depends on how money-hungry someone is-- for example, i've seen apps so cheesy as to be probably little more than a simple script to organize CSV files for insertion into PHP's fopen() function (an Excel to MySQL converter anyone?), selling for $25 cause they know there's some beginner out there who will buy it-- for twice the price probably if they needed it bad enough. know what i mean? it's rather disgusting... but, that's just my opinion and no one must agree.
