XnView crashes whenever I view an image

[leuce]

This error occurs on XnView 1.82.4 (but it occured on my previous installation as well, which version number I can't remember). My OS is Windows XP Pro SP 2.

Every time I view an image in XnView, it crashes after a second or two. It used to happen only if I double-click on an image inside an e-mail, and I was able to work around it by first opening XnView and then dragging the image to the XnView window... but now it even crashes when I do that. I'm using IrfanView until I can get XnView fixed.

This happened on my previous version of XnView too, so I uninstalled it completely and removed all entries in the registry that even mentions XnView and deleted all XnView folders from my hard disk, hoping to get a "clean" install, but the problem persists even with this latest version.

I won't be surprised if this is not strictly an XnView issue, though, but it would be nice to sort it out nonetheless.

Thanks

So you open a picture from an email attachment, and view it. Nothing else?

It happens when I double-click an image on my desktop, and it happens when I open XnView and drag an image to the XnView window.

Sometimes a couple of seconds pass before it crashes. Sometimes it crashes within one second.

Okay, I seem to have solved it. I installed XnView 1.80.1 without uninstalling XnView 1.82.4 (although, strangely, the About box still says "1.82.4" even though I installed the older version over the newer one.

I tried other combinations, but it seems that 1.82.4 doesn't stop crashing unless I install 1.80.1 after I've installed 1.82.4. Weird...

Yes really strange, so now no more problem?

My XnView 1.82.3 crashes sometimes (Win XP), when I go through several pictures in full-screen-mode! Why that?

Hi,

I have installed the latest release of XnView. When I double-click on a picture to open it (jpg, but also with other formats), it correctly opens in XnView, but shortly afterwards I get the following Crash message:

XnView for Windows 9x/NT/2000/Me/Xp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

The data of the error report contains:

AppName: xnview.exe AppVer: 1.82.0.0 ModName: xnview.exe
ModVer: 1.82.0.0 Offset: 00154a5f

???

Hi,

May be this could help you...

I have tested with several files, but always when I open a file by double-clicking it (in Windows Explorer or in Total Commander) XnView crashes shortly after displaying correctly the file. I have even uninstalled XnView and deleted several keys in the Registry to be sure to have a fresh new installation before doing these tests.

When I open the XnView Browser and I close the browser window by double-clicking on the browser tab, and then drag-and-drop a picture in the empty XnView window (parent), it opens the picture without crashing. The problem seems only to be in relation when opening a file by its association with XnView (double-click in Explorer).

I hope this can help...

And if you open the browser of xnview in the same folder?

And if you open the browser of xnview in the same folder?

As soon as the application is open, I can browse through all my images and open all of them without problem. The problem occurs only when I open a file by double-clicking it from within explorer. This occurs even when another instance of xnview is already open.

I have now downgraded to version 1.82.2. This version works fine.

Really??? Very strange. And if you disabled option/View/Cache ahead & behind?
Other users with same problem?

I have just installed the latest version (1.82.4) in the office and I have the same problem. It does not "always" crash, but 9 times from 10. I did not find this option. Could you tell me more precisely where to find it.

Option/View/File list/Cache

Option/View/File list/Cache

You are right! By disabling this option, XnView does not crash anymore on my PC... I suppose this will help you to solve the problem in further releases.

In your folder do you have only pictures?
