Bug in WDP thumbnails

The wdp thumbnails show up as garbage of some sort. It's not totally random, in the uninitialized memory sense, because several copies of an image have the same look and it's vaguely recognizable. Still garbage though.
Example image
You can open it in xnview and save it to another format to see what the thumbs should look like.
Nice here

Hi !
• Your sample looks so normal here as a thumb nail, despite I use very small thumb nails (exactly the size shown below) :
• I guess it could look better with a larger thumb nail size, though.
• Same when saved as PNG…

Your sample looks normal here as a thumb nail but only if Options >> Thumbnails >> Use high quality is
not active !
If I activate High quality for thumbnails : and rebuild thumbnails your sample is showed as garbage !

Thanks for clarifying. After I saw Clo's comment I was trying different options to make it work, but I never tried that one. :p

The left thumbnail was made with the old version (v1.90 beta 3) of
Xwmp.dll, the right one with v1.90.4:
Hidden version?

Can confirm thumbnails are fixed for 8-bit images. 16-bit have no thumbs, and crash on opening,
example image. Also, the dimensions are misreported now. I'm pretty sure it's using the DC coefficient speedup trick, which is cool, but the dimensions are now reported as 1/8 of their actual values.
Not major issues, I don't even know how much support xnview is supposed to have for 16-bit images at all.
Now that Vista's making its big splash, I wonder how the format is doing. It seems to have some recognition on forums, but no photo site lets you upload it yet. :p
16-b per channel ?

Hello !
• I can confirm, your new test image is not displayed at all, neither in “View” or as a thumb nail…
• Here, the Preview displays hexa
…Not major issues, I don't even know how much support xnview is supposed to have for 16-bit images at all. …
• IIRC, XnView doesn't support 16-bit per channel images (yet ?)…

That's no typo, that's what it says in the DLL's file properties:
Let's be precise

Hello!
• You are talking of 1.90
beta 4, but you wrote 1.90
.4, that indeed it not the same !
- There a mistake from Pierre (?) about the sub-version, I guess.
- The version number shown in the properties sheet is 1.90.0.0, that doesn't match
• For short, generally I use the German “
ß” character for “
beta” because it looks ~ the same than the Greek letter…
- So, it's not confusing…

It isn't possible to do that in XnView (yet?), only an input plugin exists. XnView doesn't support photoshop input/output plugins, although that would be a pretty cool wrapper plugin. =D

Good to see you posting again, foxyshadis! For a while I though we had lost you.

You can save to WMP/HD Photo format with the
newer version. But you have to do a little tinkering first:

In your xnview.ini, try to remove the [plugins] section
Deleting the following line from the
[plugins] section of
xnview.ini did the trick on my installation:
Obviously it was left behind by an earlier version of
xwmp.dll. The next time I started XnView, version v1.90.4 of the plugin created a new entry:
Code: Select all
23=Xwmp.dll|772|wmp|HD Photo|wdp;hdp;

You're referring to the
beta release of Microsoft's HD Photo Plug-in for Photoshop (HDPhoto.8bi), right? I'd be surprised if there's a way to make it work with XnView. Even my old version (6.0.1) of Photoshop didn't like it: “Unable to find an entry point named GetModuleHandleExA in DLL Kernel32.dll.”
