XnView Software

Hello pierre and philalethia

i have done some comparative research of the new files that are provided.

-----------
main file:
https://download.xnview.com/XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb

old version:
/old_versions/XnView_MP
XnView_MP-1.5.5-linux-x64.deb 2023-09-08 16:02 46M
---------------


comparison with sha512sum (commandline tool in linux for creating/checking checksums)
sha512sum XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb creates the sha512sum
copy the whole line into a textfile : xnviewsum.txt
save the xnviewsum.txt at same location as the .deb file.

to verify the chech sum: sha512sum -c xnviewsum.txt

(place each .deb file in a separate folder and rename them into the same name for easy compare)

XnViewMP-linux-x64 (main) the file from the main webpage (this is the working one)
4d294e108cdbb0be7fb1a87151dee21b04cc5a44032d885c6acc1070bbb917931c5187f219b4091342ff6a03847b7cbfe2a98799d191cf1bb677b85da90458e5 XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb


XnView_MP-1.5.5-linux-x64 (old) the file from the old_version link
8f692d1ead1b9527920a7f17efb2c36c6cf2a4cad6bb9531fa1fabbacef4d5d250538282818390b75b8f9e2589bdcf19a2b8d855de5059bc00dc7f6d2ee03906 XnView_MP-1.5.5-linux-x64.deb


After installing the (main) file mentioned above the webp format in now back and working.
So check the .deb file with the checksums to be sure, the correct one (main) is used.
(the webbrowser or webcache might store an older rev thats not working causing reinstallation of
old broken version even thou it seems a new one was downloaded)

It checked, and it confirms that it is the new file, that you claim works ...but which clearly doesn't work, at all, on my computer.

So when installing you should have opt/XnView/Plugins/libsharpyuv.so.0.0.1

Hi. philalethia.

strange, i tried it myself on two comps and works fine on both now for me.
But i have question for u, how do u install the .deb file?

I have seen in the past that if u use some "graphical" install manager
u can get strange issues with the installation or reinstallation.

i would recommend u to uninstall the deb package first (here usualy it works fine with graphical
interface).

then to reinstall the .deb package from the commandline
sudo dpkg -i XnView.deb
(use the name u saved xnview as)

i can confirm that on my two comps im testing on the
opt/XnView/Plugins/libsharpyuv.so.0.0.1
is now present
(that have both been installed from the file i stated above)

...except I don't.

I use "Software" (which a really bad name), which is the default on Xubuntu 18.04.

then to reinstall the .deb package from the commandline
sudo dpkg -i XnView.deb

Hm... Given that it's the secondary computer, I suppose I can uninstalling, and then reinstalling with apt... (but certainly not dpkg)

Hm. Well, just installing didn't help. I'll try uninstalling and then reinstalling

Edit: Yep, that fixed it.
