How to skip files like AVI, PDF, etc, while view images?

Post by LeoD »

I only want use XnView view images.

But when the directory contains some AVI files, press the space and got a codec missing dialog, or PDF files got a ghostscript missing dialog, it's really bothered.

And I have choosed the images file type only that asosiated with XnView.

In option/File list/Show in preview column, do you have checked PDF, video..?

Options -> Browser -> File list

Have you tried to uncheck the unwanted formats here?

You can also set the filter (one of the buttons above the browser, or view->filter by in the menu) to images to ignore other file types.

Exclude

:) Hello !

• You could try to state that extension on the "Exclude" field of the dialogue that Troken quoted, please give a glance HERE
- Note : the two bottom-fields have not any marking-off, that is an annoying lacuna… Just read the text under the picture.

That removed them from the browser display only but if you page up/page down it still will attempt to display the files.

Missing <Ignore>

:) Hello !

• That design is missing an “Ignore List” feature which could allow to ignore the formats stated in it with all display modes… :|
