Support for UTF-8 Characters in File Paths

Post by Manis1972 »

I've encountered an issue when trying to open files with paths that contain UTF-8 characters in XnView Classic. The application throws an error and fails to display the images. Although using short paths is a temporary workaround, it's not very convenient.

Is there any plan to support UTF-8 characters in file paths in future versions of XnView? Or is there a more effective solution to this problem?

UTF-8 this file I also have problem when I can't open it and it blanks my whole screen, even though I have reloaded it many times but the situation is still not ok

Please try the newer XnView MP, which fully supports Unicode and is under continuing development... :D
