UBUNTU

[ccoddio]

I use xnview for a long time. Now I changed, with happiness, sysop from Windows to Ubuntu. I want to use xnview because it is the only tool to photo management. Noe I am testing the 0.51 version. The only one problem is that when I open the program the screen divizions are bad. The partitions of the screen are the same of the fist time i used xnview. The folder is the same forever. I whould like to know what is the setting to change to have the last situation everytime: every time I open the xnview screen it could be like on Windows, I should find the last folder opened and the last division of the screen. Thanks.

divisions? You means the size of each panel?
For last folder, option>General

Thanks to the reply. If I open xnview by admin (sudo) it permits to change the db cache, and it permits to change the default folder. Now it opens the default folder but the panels are in the wrong way. For example see the attached files. The first is what I whould like to have, the second is the wrong way after the rebooting xnview. Every settings are forgotten. In windows I mantain for example the screencapturer on F10 key. Here, in Ubuntu, everything nedds to be rebuildt. Thanks.

Why do you start it as admin, you must start it with user rights

Pierre I start in both modes, the same problem. Seems to need some folder right to rewrite some ini, but I am not the debugger, I don't know how I can correct that. Thanks.

Hallo,

I saw the same behaviour here with my UBUNTU and KUBUNTU installations. I help myself in this way: start XnViewMP, make your settings for the gui, save your settings via the layout-button in the menubar. After that XnViewMP start with the last settings.

What is that menu? I tryed to click on "Save A" as shown in the attached file .... Then it doesn't save the screenshot capturing settings..... it saves nothing .... where is the place where it saves data? Probably the permissions of that folders must be changed! Here that is an undriveable machine!

If I open xnview by sudo command it opens and I can save and load the settings, but if I close the xnview, the default layout is not saved. So I must reload it everytime: the same of to adjust it. Is there a way to register the default layout? Thanks.

Strange, do you use the .deb? try to remove the .xnviewmp folder?

What're your settings in "Settings -> Integration -> Settings -> Use .ini file in folder"? If you have there "Program", then you must have write permissions on the xnview.ini file inside /opt/XnView/ (if you installed from the .deb) Also check remaining two settings there and give appropriate permissions on that folders and files. Be sure to check the settings with and without the sudo command both.

I changed all permissions and owner: chmod and chown command. Every files and every folders in that opt place are 777 and my own. The only one thing appened was that it registered the last image opened. And THEN opens only that. At start now it opens that image at fullscreen. Have you an idea?

You have saved a session, Option>Geenral>Confirm 'session' saving...

[ccoddio]

The same.... the same as saving enabled and the same with the saving disabled.

Try to install the gz package...

Please could you explain what is that? Thanks.
