I have a folder on my HDD with 1384 items (most of them photos). I just ditched FastStone which is painstakingly slow...
After a few reviews I read, and fact I was already using XnView Portable I decided to give MP a go.
Compared to FastStone it's fast, but opening a single image takes seconds (!).
Portable version is blazing fast, but even default MS viewer is faster.
What is going on in the background?!
This is very annoying...
Slow single image open

Re: Slow single image open
if you try to open a file from a folder (without others files), do you have same delay?

Re: Slow single image open
Same file in empty folder is faster, but my feeling is that XnPortable is still faster.
Here is a video: https://youtu.be/V8cXXNOWlIs
On the left the big folder - opened with MP.
On the right single file - opened with MP, Portable and MS Viwer.
MP is slowest of all...

Re: Slow single image open
yes XnView Classic is win32 based, XnView MP need to initialize all Qt's API. The problem is the startup...BixiSLO wrote: Thu Aug 09, 2018 10:28 am PS: if image is opened from MP browser it works as fast as expected

Re: Slow single image open
Yep. check the video... white screen is the lag between starting MP and showing the pic (vitage car)
Re: Slow single image open
Maybe MP is not for me... switched to classic

It's interesting to now have an explanation for the frequently reported slow startup of XnView MP...xnview wrote: Fri Aug 10, 2018 7:56 am XnView Classic is win32 based, XnView MP needs to initialize all Qt's API. The problem is the startup...
No solution in sight, other than future computers will be faster?
Re: Slow single image open
i means between the file in a empty folder and a folder with many files?
is it possible to send you a test app?

Re: Slow single image open
If you use XnView as a viewer, yes XnView Classic is faster to open
