on Win 7, there is a problem with archive.dll, you can take the dll from 1.4 package

Hi, I am curious about the decision to remove FLIF support from XnView. Are there any plans to bring back full FLIF support as a plugin, or will JPEG XL fully replace it in the future?

I think what JPEG XL in future replacing more formats , only need optimize viewing speed) now I in easy stupor at speed and CPU load , still when I7-6950X load up to 50% or more , this not normal , JPEG XL need optimization ) I think , what this format if not possible optimize on CPU , need move to GPGPU for example CUDA / OpenCL or QuickSync )

But why ? By size distribution this not differ )

Also archive.dll you can make this :

[Files]
Source: "C:\Source\Program\Data\XP\file.dll*"; DestDir: "{app}\"; Flags: ignoreversion createallsubdirs recursesubdirs ; MinVersion: 0,5.01.2600; OnlyBelowVersion: 0,6.0.6000
Source: "C:\Source\Program\Data\7\file.dll*"; DestDir: "{app}\"; Flags: ignoreversion createallsubdirs recursesubdirs ; MinVersion: 0,6.0.6000

in example as do for XP and 7 , but nothing It does interfere make do also for 7 and 10
