Strange, if i don't use 'use transparency' it's ok. So perhaps the alpha channel is bad???

By disabling 'use alpha channel' you can view it correctly

Is it a big picture?

do you mean set "Ignore alpha channel" in General - Operations? this didn't help anyways. i see images in viewer and fullscreen but thumbnails are empty

not really, 3800*2400. but this error message could happen on different images - from 5mb to 600mb size. have no idea why. i have windows7 and 8gb ram

PS - xnView is very slow on RAW files (i checked 10megapixel EXR and PEF) and also slow with huge JPEG files (more than 12000*8000px) - 'read one image ahead' is enabled

more investigation - alpha channel not working only in thumbnails. so we don't see complete image in browser as thumbnail if it has complete black alpha.
could it be corrected in next build?
thank you in advance

Do you have rebuilt thumbnails?

regarding alpha - yes i have updated thumbnails. let me post complete illustration - well alpha works in viewer and in thumbnails it is just gray.
regarding memory issue - i cannot detect it - sometimes it happens on big images sometimes not. also once i have this erorr message on small image (but it was many images in folder)
