Empty XnView after start (1.70 on MacOSX)
XnView 1.70 @ MacOSX
Hi,
first of, thank you for the new Version. It's way more stable and even faster than 1.68! *bow*
But, well, I have only one complain :
Whenever I launch Xnview, it launches X11 (as it should), but then nothing happens; there is only the empty Xnview about (view-)option available (basically, it doesn't launch).
Only if I start X11 beforehand, and then Xnview, it works fine (and the whole program is available).
Nothing serious, though, just a small inconvenience.
I am using a MacMini with OSX10.4.2 including all patches, and ATI4.5.5 display drivers.
Greetz!

Empty XnView?? You means the menu bar?Schattenreiter wrote:first of, thank you for the new Version. It's way more stable and even faster than 1.68! *bow*

Re: Empty XnView after start (1.70 on MacOSX)
Yes. Sorry. Should have explained that in more detail.xnview wrote:Empty XnView?? You means the menu bar?
There is only the OSX-xnview menu bar, with the "about" option.
If I start X11 beforehand, xnview launches, but there is no osx-menu bar available (sorry, totally forgotten to add that).
Here are two screens (hope they're not too large):
Launched with xnview-icon (active in taskbar):
Second one launched after x11 (no active xnviw-icon in taskbar):
Hope that helps.

Perhaps a problem with OS 10.4...Schattenreiter wrote:Yes. Sorry. Should have explained that in more detail.xnview wrote:Empty XnView?? You means the menu bar?

Okay, I've checked again with the new zip-file (sorry for my lack of speed, but I don't like to reboot my machine );xnview wrote:Even with the new zip file?
OSX10.3.9: Launches Xnview, but only in pure X11-Unix mode - xnview-icon quits right after the launch of X11. No OSX-xnview menu bar.
OSX10.4.2: No change at all.
Otherwise everything else works just fine.
XnView in 10.4
When I'm running it from Icon it just dissapears immidiately.
I've tried to run it from xterm:

Which OSX do you have?Rexx wrote:I've not been able to get it to run from x11 terminal at all. Instead I did "show contents" on the package, then extracted the folders to the desktop. Running the xnview program from within the macosx folder made it work straight away.
There's evidently some problem with the way it's packaged up.

I won't say that you are running X11 server just because other X11 apps are running wellAnonymous wrote:probably yes because other X11 applications are running well.xnview wrote: Do you have X11 server?

But if you are running OS X 10.4, then the download link will NOT work, because the X11 version that is downloadable from Apple's site works only with 10.3.x
You have to install X11 for Tiger (10.4) from your Tiger Installation Disk then (Can be found, if you select "Install Bundled Software only" and hit "Command + R", that will open the folder with the software packages. There you just doubleclick "X11User"). But this would just reinstall the X11 version you already HAVE installed - and that one's NEWER than the one found following the download link...
