B1: error with 'Open' non-displayable file when Hex is ON

Post by Olivier_G »

With Options>Read/Write: 'Show hexadecimal for non-displayable files' ON, when you open a non-displayable file via Menu>File>Open, you get an error message "Format of the file <> could not be determined".

XnView should directly show the Hex mode without any error message.

I don't get an error message with Beta 2 but the files fail to appear in hex mode in XnView.

It works for me. Have you changed your 'Open With' and 'Items Displayed' settings since first reporting this?

You nailed it! I just set Options>Keyboard/Mouse>"Open action" for 'All other files' to 'XnView' and the unknown file was opened in hexaview... :D

But...
...XnView should open a file in XnView if I specifically use Menu>Open (rather than using Keyboard/Mouse on Filelist) and bypass all those "Open action" settings. This is the way it works for recognized files, right?

Yes, I think Menu>File>Open bypasses all those settings (with some version or another).

Works fine according to this situation. Thank you Pierre! -> Closed.
