thank you! now it works!
Why don't you compile a flatpak? I think this is the standard in the Linux world now.

There is a XnViewMP flatpak repository with older version, but it hasn't been updated from last year: https://github.com/flathub/com.xnview.XnViewMP

Exactly, but that version was not created by Pierre I think, probably by Flatpak.org who haven't packaged later XnView MP releases...

I've created a pull request with most recent version of XnViewMP (0.98.2): https://github.com/flathub/com.xnview.XnViewMP/pull/8 .
But there's at least one big issue with this build: directories cannot be deleted, when "Use Recycle Bin" option is enabled. Might be a bug in QT 5.12. Maybe someone more familiar with Flatpak could investigate?
Would be great if author of XnView could take over ownership of flatpak repository to manage releases there. Packaging and testing could be done by community.
