XnView with Guiguts not working

[nunukis]

Hi,

I belong to a group of volunteers who, amongst other things, do the post processing for books to become ebooks.

I work with a post-processing programme called Guiguts, and if you have your html document open, you can click on a button "See Img" and then XnView should call up the appropriate png image, to compare with the text in the html document.

This has always worked in the past. Now I get a message: "Error opening the file <C:\DP\Chats on Oriental China\pngs\.jpg

1. My laptop runs on Windows 8.1
2. My filepath is as above, WITHOUT the .jpg. I don't know where the .jpg comes from.

This is very frustrating. Can anyone help me?

the change is windows version, right?

No, it did work for my previous project that I worked on. And it also worked when I first started on the present project. Somewhere along the way it stopped working. I thought it might have something to do with a change in the CSS that was changed, but now when I open my first project, at also does not work anymore.

This message (“Error opening the file…”) seems to be related to spaces and/or unicode characters in the file path.

Alain, the author of the statistics program "Brodgar" could find the problem. It was the way Brodgar invoked the graphic viewer. Alain will fix this and provide a version which will work with XnView.

All I'm trying to do is view a scanned document from within a database application using Xnview as the viewer. Like I've said, on my 98 machine, this works fine but on the W2k machine, I don't get to see a pip squeak.

I don't know how other programs handle the space problem and I have just made a test on Windows XP SP2 and found that the problem no longer persists. The older Windows versions will persist for a while, so I still wonder whether XnView's interpretation of the command line couldn't be made smarter so that it recognizes even a command line with spaces in the filename/path without double quoting the file names.

The problem is like that:
xnview file1.jpg file2.jpg => 2 parameters received
xnview file with space.jpg => 3 parameters received
So for the second, " is needed.

• Could not open jpg
