Get it ?

Hello !• Please, could you place that file on a server or display it in a message in order to test ? TIA !
• I missed that one year ago, so, aside :…(they seem to have their own proprietaire transparent bitmap formats).
- With Delphi, the left-bottom pixel defines the colour used as transparent, that's often a very annoying feature !

PNG---
klaus2 Again…• Yes, it's a PNG
The BG is set as Magenta pink (255-0-255).• I don't think that the e-mail feature from the board supports attachments…
- You could send it to me via
charriesATwanadooDOTfr
- Then, I could place it on a server of mine…

Hi Clo,
done (bitmap and inifile).
The strange thing ist:
as i try it now with a this simplified directory (containing only the bitmap and the inifile)
the exception does not occor when _entering_ this directoy but when _leaving_ it.
Playing around with "use alpha channel" true vs. false
and/or removing the diverse (category/xnview) . db's before
and/or apply "rebuild thumbnails" i get get problems at different stages
but however constantly that will be accomplished by an exception.
Best Regards,

Tested---
klaus2 Hello !• Your sample is available “as is” HERE
• I can display it in XnView 1.94 without any crash, but the transparency is not rendered…
- It's displayed in a Delphi-written viewer with the transparency, because like I said above
the left-bottom pixel thingy takes precedence over all other features.
• However, it crashes Total Commander when I do a right-click on it to open the local menu !
- I saved a copy in GFIE which considers it as 8 BPP - that is not quite wrong-
that image is obviously an old 16-colour picture drawn with “dithered” colours (like in Paintbrush 16-bit…).
- The 8 BPP version is only 256 bytes…It works fine in Delphi viewers.
- I resaved that image in XnView as 32 BPP, then it's OK in Total Commander…

Hi Clo and Pierre.
i'm wondering that you don't encounter that exception at all;
i permanently can reproduce it on at least 2 pc's; win xp SP3 and win2K.
So i tried to make it reproducable by:
1) put the test bitmap acGotoSystem.bmp into a separate fresh/new directory
2) unzip XnView-win.zip from the download page to a fresh directory
3) copy my xnview.ini (as picked up from my 1.93.6) into the new xnview directory - see PS
4) start xnview and navigate in the browser to the test bitmap directory -> the bitmap will be displayed
5) leave that directory in the browser => boom (if not, try it again a couple of times)
Does not depend on a "rebuild thumbnails" between 3 and 4.
Kind regards,
klaus2
PS: i emailed that recently used inifile to you both again
please note: cache IsActive=0, IgnoreAlpha=1

Hi experts,
meanwhile i tried using a very minimalistic inifile -> no problem
reconstructed my "old" favorite settings from the scratch -> no problem
So i assume my "good old inifile" probably contained some very destructive historical settings
that worked like a torpedo ... (i'll try to find out which ones)
So, for me this issue is solved.
Kind regards,

My INI file should be “clean”, because I go through all the options and rework the settings from scratch whenever I install a new version.
