Disable PDF-viewing doesn't work

Post by Christoph »

Hello,

I posted this question about a month ago in the XnView-newsgroup, but didn't get an answer. So I will try here.
Hello,

I'm using XNView 1.61 (Windows) and I've got a problem with disabling the viewing of PDFs. XNView always shows the first page of an PDF-file when I'm browsing through a directory by PgUp/PgDn or mousewheel. But I have disabled PDF-support in tools -> options -> file types!
And PDFs are not associated with XNView but with Acrobat Reader.

Is there a possibility to turn off that behaviour? I don't want to view PDF-files with XNView...

best regards
Christoph
In the meantime I've updated XnView to 1.65de. It's running on Windows2000 Professional.

Bye
Christoph

Both the classic newsgroups and this webbased newsgroup are supported. Sometimes a post might be forgotten or not answered for a longer time.
If you do not get any or no satisfying reply in two weeks time, but your problem still persists, please do not repost. Instead send a short mail with a reference to your post (Link to post OR subject and date & time of post). Thanks.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that this board is going to replace the classic newsgroup, so I repeated my post here...

Sorry, but currently no possibility!

Thanks for your answer, Pierre. It's really a pity that this can't be disabled, because reading a PDF is a bit slow and I'm a speedy user :)

Will there be a chance that you will "fix" this in a future version of XnView? This would be great!

Bye and greetings from Germany
Christoph

P.S.: Thanks for your great work with XnView so far!

pdf preview

Hi folks,

at first i would like to thank Pierre that he makes this great piece of software available for free !

I have the same problem Christoph wrote about before:
PDF preview and info-extraction is extremely slow and causes instabilities at certain times.

It would be nice to have the possibility to disable pdf related features.
In most cases pdf-files are documents not pictures anyway.

Best regards,

bioB
