Hi,
XnView can't handle BMP images (video screenshots) that I created with VirtualDubMod (not VirtualDub).
It worked with older versions.
It looks like this:
These are 2 BMP images created with VirtualDubMod:

Does anyone have the same problem?
Kind regards

Hello !
• Sorry, but I can't get the ZIP from your awful host, I get a HTML page with IE¦Maxthon as the archive (!)
and a lot of thingies in German with Opera, but not the ZIP…
• Please, attempt to find another way to make the samples available…

here - perhaps that program doesn't create ideal bmp?

I think I'm too stupid.
Can't find this option.
Is that still part of v1.91.5 ?

You have on the browser mode, View/Preview/Use alpha channel or in view mode, view/Use alpha channel. Do you have tried that?

YES. XNVIEW seems to no longer display correctly 32-bpp BMP's. Regression bug
? Converting to 24 bpp helps.
There is indeed no WinZIP under my rock.

Pretty difficult to upload and hotlink a BMP - imageshack allows BMP, but force-compresses it to PNG: usually good idea, just not here
But up to 1.90 XNVIEW used to ignore such bad alpha's

No, 1.90 read bad alpha too, but the option to use it was disabled by default.
