Is there a way to view system and/or hidden files?
Been using XnView for a long time and haven't yet noticed that it won't display system files. However, I now find myself wanting to inspect some album art created by Windows Media Player but NOT having any luck. Is there a way that XnView can be used to do this?

I avoid Windows these days so I am not very familiar with it, but I've just had a quick look and with the C:\ drive expanded everything seems to be there, I think I did activate display of hidden files a while back, though.ajax wrote: Tue Mar 16, 2021 8:04 pm Been using XnView for a long time and haven't yet noticed that it won't display system files.

Given that in Windows 10 things are moved around regularly, I suggest searching online for 'display hidden files' for your version of Windows, and see if that resolves the problem...

Whoops! My fault. It looks like there is a setting for XnView similar to Windows File Explorer that allows hidden files to either be seen or remain hidden. Really pretty simple. Sorry about failing to find that prior to posting.
