XnView Software

Good morning,

• We have 1.90 RC1 now, with a lot of cosmetical thingies, but it's still impossible to display icons in View and in a board of thumb nails properly, still that awful black background…

• That's really disappointing… I ought to resign XnView to display icons even in Total Commander now.
- The most icons I draw¦use¦store are 24 BPP. A trick might be found to view them correctly, I guess.

- This is there for ages…

By the same way, is it possible to make the b(l)ackground for other files with transparency (Ex : Gif) modifiable so that the user can see if the picture is always correct with different backgrounds.

Hello Paul !

By the same way, is it possible to make the b(l)ackground for other files with transparency (Ex : Gif) modifiable so that the user can see if the picture is always correct with different backgrounds.

• I think that THIS PROPOSAL could do the trick…

Hello !

• Thank you to have attempted some improvements, according to that we said out the forum for the 24 BPP icons and the transparency thingy…

• With RC1, enabling the option the display is correct in View (please, see the Paul's wish above about the View BG and the link I gave in my answser…), but :

1. All 24 BPP icons are marked “32 BPP” everywhere, that indeed is quite wrong…

2. In a board of thumb nails, they are still black…

3. Same in the preview, black…

4. When blowing up such an icon in View, the black BG comes back as soon as the scale reaches 105% (I use a 1% step).
It stays beyond that value, and moreover the zoom-in function is quite perturbed, it seems
(the display jumps to an upper scale value after several 1% steps only).
- It occurs as well with the H. Quality enabled or not…
- The transparency is not restored when coming back to scale 1:1…

If you want transparency, so i must load them as 32bits!

Again…

• "Loaded AS" is not they ARE 32 BPP, so all info shown for the 24 BPP icons is wrong !

• What about the other points ?
- I have set the display as 32 BPP in Windows, then the Preview is getting right,
but the thumb nails remain bad with the black BG…

Hello !

• I just discovered another issue with the icons display :

- I've a small collection of 21² - 24 BPP icons I use in the file-lists of Total Commander, that works fine in this programme.

- In a board of thumb nails, these icons are displayed with a black BG - like the others -
but absolutely not viewable in Preview and in normal View, like shown below with the same outside blue BG:

   

- I tested with the transparency option “ON” and “OFF”, also with the screen colour-depth as 16 and 32 BPP,
that doesn't matter, same result.

- I send you this icon <JPG-type> as a sample…

¤ Else : Please, could you tell me if you have found any solution about the point #4 in my last but one message above ?

Hello !

• Thanks ! I'll retest that in the next RC.

I wrote above…

• Please, could you fix up this issue too? Thank you to try…

Strange i have not this problem...

Hello !

• Did you test under Win XP-Pro ?

- You must set a 1% zoom-step
- This occurs in View only ! In Preview, it works.

• I can make a video if needed…

I can reproduce that bug here, but randomly…

Hello Paul !

• Thank you for checking ! Like you can see on the video (Pierre has it too), I can reproduce this by 100% !

• Maybe the OSs make the difference ? Still XP-Pro SP1 here…

Hello !

• The Zoom is still there in RC3…

• Could someone more test and confirm ? TIA.
