XnView Software

Hi,
vesion 0.83 doesn't react for several minutes when I want to open a folder with several thousand icons. I think 0.82 didn't have that lag.
Where can I download 0.82?

It can still be downloaded from the forum MP - General Support section...

Or, as with other software Old versions from that link.

Would be interesting and important to find out the reason why XnView 0.83 is slow. Please let us know whether downgrading to 0.82 did solve the problem.

Both links are the same and lead to the General Support forum.
The download link (x64 setup) in "Announcement: XnView MP 0.82" supplies the latest version 0.83.

OK, found it myself: http://download.xnview.com/old_versions/
I'll try and let you know.

Neither 0.82 nor 0.81 solve the problem
Must be another issue on my system. Or a setting in XnViewMP options that slows it down?
Has anybody else this problem and an idea what the reason may be?

do you have saved a session?

Do you mean whether I opened XnViewMP with a saved session when it shows this problem (no) or whether I have saved a session previously (yes)?
I start XnViewMP with the standard folder (own pictures). That happens with normal speed. Then I navigate to the folder with the many icons. Before XnViewMP displays anything in that folder it doesn't react for several minutes.

When you have the problem, XnViewMP is opened with a saved session?
Do you have this problem if you have only Browser?

Only the browser.

I tested this:
Click in the browser on a folder with 600 icons in png format: no delay
Click in the browser on a folder with 600 icons in ico format: delay
So there is a problem with ico format. I thought this was not the case with earlier versions, but down until 0.80 it is the same. Maybe I was wrong.
Is this a problem with XnViewMP or with my system?

could you send me some samples of your ico files?

I sent samples via e-mail to you.
500 icons in a folder cause a lag of several seconds, 4000 icons a lag of several minutes. I have an old and relatively slow computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP1.

See Issue 1008 for details.

Pierre, thank you very much

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView 0.84 beta 1. Could you please try and confirm the bug fix, bege?

Yes, it is fixed
