Good question. There should be a possibility to enable/disable install/uninstall "SE" also for ZIP version, since there is SE but most users don't know about it and how to install it.Danny wrote:And here the big question: how do i get rid of it after installation without deleting xnview itself along with it?
XnView Shell Extension (Support & Development)
Moderators: XnTriq, helmut, xnview
Two BAT\CMD files could be written to do this...
An example - Install_win2k.cmd
@echo off
cls
c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe "c:\program files\xnview\xnviewshellext.dll"
exit
An example - Uninstall_win2k.cmd
@echo off
cls
c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe /u "c:\program files\xnview\xnviewshellext.dll"
exit
An example - Install_win2k.cmd
@echo off
cls
c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe "c:\program files\xnview\xnviewshellext.dll"
exit

@echo off
cls
c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe /u "c:\program files\xnview\xnviewshellext.dll"
exit

Maybe future feature
Hello,
I found today a nice tool which can create 16x16 or 32x32 icons in Explorer of some picture formats (link: http://xentient.com/products/thumbnails/). But it is limited in file formats so a nice feature would be use this functionality with XnView which supports a lot more formats.

Thanks, it works, but most 'ZIP' users don't know about it. Maybe xnview could generate such files at least...ckit wrote:Two BAT\CMD files could be written to do this...
ckit, what about some command to not show dialog and auto-close window? I think it is possible, but don't know how.
For Windows XP:
Code: Select all
XnShellEx_Install_WinXP.cmd
@echo off
cls
C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\XnView\XnViewShellExt.dll"
exit
XnShellEx_Uninstall_WinXP.cmd
@echo off
cls
C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe /u "C:\Program Files\XnView\XnViewShellExt.dll"
exit

Re: How about a submenu?
I would appreciate a thumbnail in a submenu also, not forever, but as an option to toggle between viewing in submenu or normal.notnoisy wrote:I would prefer to view the thumbnail in a submenu. Is it possible to get this as an option?
My explorer context-menu is becoming a bit long
Would be great.
I love this program btw, keep up the good work.

if you mean this, try "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" by Start -> Run
This repairs the preview of pictures by windows-xp-picture-&fax-routines.
in case you are not sure, try google-ing for "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll"
Hope i could help.

Re: How about a submenu?
I never experienced that problem... until today. It happened when doing a right click on my Nikon Coolpix 5700 raw files. I remenberd that I did some tests with the current beta versions 1.90 b1 and b2. In the Windows XP registry ne path to the xnviewshellext.dll was the path of my unzipped xnview-betas! So I downloaded and installed the XnViewShellExtension again. That overwrote the registry values. Now everything works fine again!mika99 wrote:If you right click on a Nikon D70 NEF raw file the shell extension locks the explorer for some seconds an then crashes (the explorer).
Is it as a workaround possible to exclude this file type?

XnView Shell extension RAR or ZIP available?
I really need to be able to help others in my office get work done with this great shell extension but our ITS prevents .exe downloads.
Does anyone have a working link to a modern version of the shell extension installer in a ZIP, TAR or RAR form?
Thanks to anyone who could help.

Thanks, Pierre!
If anyone wants a RAR or ZIP version, PM me your email address
The Installer messes up badly, installs into \ShellEx and doesn't overwrite the xnviewshellext.dll in the main folder. Avoid the installer people!

As long as it registers the proper file that shouldn't matter. Of course it'd be nice if it at least deleted the old one while it was doing so.ckit wrote:The Installer messes up badly, installs into \ShellEx and doesn't overwrite the xnviewshellext.dll in the main folder.

It can't register the proper file cause the old v1.6.0.0 is a locked process, the installer should be able to unlock the process, kill the task, delete the file and install the newer one.
Anyway I've been disabling the shell extension, logging out of Windows and doing it manually which still seems to be the only way.
