Pierre,
I think I've isolated the file that was causing my problem. It's a wbz file that was downloaded from www.webshots.com. When you select it, it displays an error messages ("Format of the file could not be determined"). If this file is selected in the browser when you change the option, then the program will abend when you try to exit xnview.
This wbz seems to have a problem, but I don't think the abend is limited to just corrupted wbz files. If you select any non-image file (a txt file, for example), and then change an option, the same thing will happen. For this to happen, you must have the "view->filter by" option set to 'custom'.
Hope this helps.

So you are in browser mode, select a non image file, go to option, change something, and crash when you press ok?rmorden wrote: This wbz seems to have a problem, but I don't think the abend is limited to just corrupted wbz files.

Do you use a clean xnview.ini??
Pierre.
No, not quite. I'm browser mode, select a non image file, go to option, change something, and press ok. At this point everything seems to be fine. Then you can do whatever you want -- change directories, select a different graphic, open it, save it under a new name -- whatever. But when you exit the program (file->exit), the program crashes.
As far as a clean xnview.ini, I think so. This is a new PC and I just installed xnview for the first time.

I can't reproduce it, do you have Xp?rmorden wrote:No, not quite. I'm browser mode, select a non image file, go to option, change something, and press ok. At this point everything seems to be fine.

When you click on a non readable file, do you have the hex code in preview?
Pierre.
If you click on it only, do you have the hex code in preview?rmorden wrote:Yes, I'm running Windows XP, Version 2002, Service pack 2. If I select a non-graphics file and double-click it or if I right mouse-click and select 'open', nothing happens. The only way I can get a hex preview is if I select tools->'view in hex mode'.
Pierre.

Could you try to select non image file, Ctrl+R and quit xnview?rmorden wrote:No. I don't get the hex code in preview.xnview wrote:If you click on it only, do you have the hex code in preview?rmorden wrote:Yes, I'm running Windows XP, Version 2002, Service pack 2.
