1.8.8 Freezing when viewing PDF
When I try to scroll to the next PDF while viewing, it freezes on the second page. While it might be tempting to just dismiss this as a bug, I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution?

No crash here. Do you use 1.11.7? Please describe how to reproduce

Deleting xnview.ini fixed the problem. There have been similar cases resolved this way in the past.
viewtopic.php?p=175190
viewtopic.php?p=137217
Lesson learned and countermeasure
• If a problem occurs, start fresh with a new xnview.ini.
Useful feature
• An export function that reflects the latest version's settings values.

・Exemplary past solution
viewtopic.php?p=139796
That said, while this is currently the smartest method, we can't rule out that it may also carry over hidden problems, so in the end I think the most reliable fix is to generate a fresh configuration file and manually reapply settings from the old one while comparing the two.

Re: 1.8.8 Freezing when viewing PDF
Do the PDFs you are trying to view have particularly large pixel dimensions, which can noticeably slow opening?
Are you perhaps able to provide a test file?

Because the risk is high if it is used incorrectly, I have provided it only by sending an email to the developer. I will not publish it. I apologize.
↓
I’ve attached a password-protected zip.
Since the default view was only about 1000×1000, I don’t think the lag is caused by the file size being too large.
It freezes whenever I scroll from one PDF to the next, whether within the same file or across different files.
