click on explorer thumbnail doesn´t start xnview...

Post by Guest »

hi xnview

with the register.bat in the new zip installation i´m now able to see the thumbnail preview in 64bitexplorer in xp64bit...

but if i click on the thumbnail xnview doesn´t start to open the picture...

any little thing that i missed to click here?

....btw is it possible that it opens multiple instances of xnview for multiple pictures i want to look and compare...like in old picaview...

thanks xnview

xnview ([url=http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=16903#16903]Can't view JPG file by using XnView[/url]) wrote:There is a bad key in registry, please remove -slide from:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xnview.exe\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -slide "%1"

Correct is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xnview.exe\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" "%1"

Note: Your program path may differ, keep your program path.

hi xntriq

that´s exactly what i have "C:\Program Files(x86)\XnView\xnview.exe" "%1"


...if i click on the thumbnail preview in the explorer, xnview doesn´t open to show the picture...maybe it´s only something i have to check in the programm itself?

thanks a lot for help

First something to clarify:
Are you talking about the thumbnails in XnView browser or MS Explorer (Shell extension)?

If it's XnView: There might be a "wrong" XnView setting. Could you please try the following:
1.) Exit XnView
2.) In MS Explorer change to folder C:\Program Files\XnView
3.) Rename file "xnview.ini" to "xnview-bak.ini"
4.) Start XnView
Now please check, whether the problem persists.

sorry i mean ms-explorer...but now i click on -open- in the ms-explorer, then the picture opens with xnview...

but i think normally it has also to open if i click onto the small thumbnail preview picture in the ms-explorer...

Clicking on MS-shell-extension-preview does not start Xn-Vie

I have the same problem :
clicking on thumbnail preview in MS-Explorer started automatically Xn-View.
This was working in earlier versions, could not find the menu entry for correcting this, if there is any.
Is there any help ?

Thank you.
