Windows 11
XnView MP 1.8.6 don't work with new GS 10.05 for windows x64. From many of my PDF files, only one is reading. Other no preview, no open...

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

As users are responsible for installing Ghostscript, will this mean that users of the next XnView MP version will have to update their installed Ghostscript version? Or can you manage the Ghostscript change in XnView MP, so that v1.8.7 and later will work with either existing Ghostscript versions or the new version?

Next version will work like now for ghostscript version < 10, and use new method >= 10

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.7. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

All PDF files work OK on new GS.

It seems that the incompatibility with Ghostscript persists in XnView 1.8.7: PDFs cannot be previewed (I have GS 9.53. installed).

Installing GS 10 on Devuan (=Debian 11 ca.) is a mess: it requires updates of all kinds of dependencies that are way too difficult to install ... and compiling GS 10.05 fails with the error message:

<command-line>: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘float’
make: *** [base/lcms2mt.mak:101: obj/cmscam02.o] Error 1

Was unable to upgrade to GS 10 to try to prev again PDFs.

The Preview label and the Preview icon in Panels and in Info Panels appear to be greyed out. I could not find out what controls the behaviour. Maybe it is not GS 10.
