Re: Don't start Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Service
Still the same with XnView 1.94.Dstruct wrote:Why does XnView always start the "Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Service"? Which functions of XnView need this service? If it's really needed, wouldn't it make much more sense to start it just when really needed instead of starting it always?

What do you mean with "if WIA service is available"? Of course the service is available on each Windows XP.
The question is: Why does it get started when opening XnView? I don't need the WIA service running as I don't have any devices (scanners, cameras ...) that need it.
IrfanView for example doesn't open the WIA service here! So why does XnView?

Re: Don't start Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Service
Then your check must be "buggy". There's no device on my system. If I select "Select TWAIN source..." in XnView then I only get an empty window! No "sources" available.xnview wrote:No i check if a device is available
When opening XnView.xnview wrote:You have that when you open XnView or when you open the menu?
But wait:
I just found the culprit: It's the "Browser" which triggers the WIA service to start! If I disable "Launch Browser at Startup", then the WIA service doesn't get started!
So does this help to fix it?

Ok, right. NoWIA works only in view mode, so i add it to browser mode tooDstruct wrote: I just found the culprit: It's the "Browser" which triggers the WIA service to start! If I disable "Launch Browser at Startup", then the WIA service doesn't get started!

Mmh, doesn't seem to work properly in 1.94.1xnview wrote:Ok, right. NoWIA works only in view mode, so i add it to browser mode too
As soon as I open the browser in XnView, the WIA service always gets started!

Bad in View
Dstruct
Hello !
• Here, the WIA entry is greyed out in the Browser File menu, but it's still enabled in View
when starting with an empty window, or coming back from the browser with no image…
- In View, all entries of the File Menu are enabled (except the Import Clipboard when it's empty, of course).
- It's the same I showed above…
- To remind : There is not any WIA or scanner device here…

Re: Bad in View
Here the TWAIN/WIA source entry isn't greyed out in the browser nor the view. I also don't have any scanner or camera devices connected to machine.Clo wrote:Here, the WIA entry is greyed out in the Browser File menu, but it's still enabled in View
I don't care if the entry itself is greyed out or not. But I don't want the WIA service to be started (cause I don't need it).
Does the WIA service gets started on your machine with 1.94.1 too?

Which EXE ?
Dstruct
Again…
• Please, tell me which EXE (exact name) is running when the service is started, then I'll check in the Task Manager.
