Re: XnView Shell Extension : localization issue
Hi,
I have just installed for the first time XnShell extension on Win7 64 bits.
And I discovered that language change do not work in this version (4.0 64 bits.)
Actually, this is due to the fact that HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView\ShellEx\language is not correctly set, but contains extra characters (most often two chars, sometimes more) after language code.
If I update manually the entry (with Regedit) to a correct value (eg. "fr"), it works fine.
But registry entry is overwritten each time any option is changed... and then require to be re-set manually at each time with Regedit.

I confirm it works fine, now, with rev 4.0.3

Re: XnView Shell Extension
Hello and Thank you for your great programs (xnviewMP is amazing)
I have used the shell extension back in xp and win7 with success - but nothing I tried gets it to work on Win10 (1709).
I've tried all sorts (I know my way around windows) - including latest version, MS runtimes, admin, ownership, install vs zip, registry etc
The context menu does appear but nothing happens when choosing an action (any). If i edit the registry I can change the appearance of the menu
(as when going into options) - which means the shell does read and load the registry settings - but that is the only sign of life.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful - Thanks
