* "Auto contrast" is Ctrl+Alt+O

Viewer Menu... Image>Map>Automatic Contrast incorrectly shows old value: <Ctrl + Alt + C>.

* Option to use 'checkerboard' for transparency - http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=13645

I'm using linux+wine so I'm not sure the following problems occur in native OS:
1. Enable checkerboard option
2. Highlight png with 32 bits & alpha channel (crash).
Sample png found here

Thanks for providing a beta version, Pierre. We will surely test the new features... ...be prepared.

Just installed the beta.

The Google Map display is an appreciated addition.

The Google Map function map presents southern hemisphere latitudes (in my case 43o South) as northern!

Same geo referenced photo displays correctly via other programme.

I've just created a new temporary forum 1.91.6 Beta Testing for discussing the 1.91.6 beta and reporting bugs that have been introduced in 1.91.6 beta.

...The Google Map function map presents southern hemisphere latitudes (in my case 43o South) as northern! ..

From what I can see XnView does not pass negative values for "West" and "South" reference to Google Maps.

Yes, I confirm this crash (with this png sample :here)

http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=13664

But after uncheked and checked Options\read_write\read\PNG :
compose image with transparency and
compose image with alpha (32bits)
I do not have this crash again - strange -.

But I can not see the checkerboard background (for gif or png ...)
with the option : use 'checkerboard' for transparency
