External Media Not Displaying After Updating [Solved]

Post by icurate »

I have been using an older version of XnView on my Linux Mint Machine. It worked great but became a bit of a memory hog so I decided to try the latest version. In the old version, I could go to Computer under folders and it would display Media (I think that is what it was called) and when I opened that, it would show my drive mounted with Veracrypt. The new version does not show this drive anywhere. I went through every folder displayed to see if it had been moved but I cannot find it. I have tried reinstalling and rebooting but nothing changed. And, of course, to avoid confusion I uninstalled the older version and now can't find anything but the most recent version to install.

If anyone can point me to where an external drive might show up, I would appreciate it. I have unchecked 'Always exclude Removable Drives' under Catalog in the prefs.

If this is no longer possible, I would appreciate it if someone could point me to where I can download older versions for Linux.

Thanks.

Which version have you installed?

Possibly the FlatPak, which still links to the earlier 93.1 version which had an issue displaying external media?

Actually your question was enough to help. Yesterday, I just installed from my Linux software manager and didn't notice that the website has a more recent version. Software manager has 93.1 which I just removed and then installed 98, which works as expected.

Thank you very much!
