XnView Software

Hello,

I recently switched to a 22" wide screen monitor (LG L226WTQ) and notice that when I click on images/files associated with XnView, it crashes when exiting the program (stops responding, "hungapp" error msg).

Oddly, it does not happen when I first click on Xnview and browse an images folder, only when I click on an associated image first. I moved from 1.90 to 1.91.6 version, still happens.

Thank you

Hum, not sure that the only reason is the screen Could you ty to start xnview from an empty folder?

Thanks for the reply. I think I isolated the problem. It only happens when I click directly on an image associated with XnView (but not by browsing with XnView) and only in a folder with many images. In smaller folders with fewer images it does not happen. The folder with the problem has about 350 images and is about 55mb. In folders with less, about 200 images or around 30mb, it 'almost' stops responding, but exits the program OK a few seconds later.

So the workaround (for me at present) is not to click directly on the images, but start XnView first and browse to the image folder.

Hope that helps.

Which is your OS? Do you have only pictures in the big folder?

This happens in both XP and Vista (dual boot). I had a few youtube files (flv) in the same folder and took them out, but it still happens.

What is your setting Option/General/Mode when starting.. ?

Problem solved! When you asked me what settings in the gen tab options, these were the checked items:

-only one instance, -rotate images based on EXIF orientation, -launch browser at startup

I tried checking/unckecking all items in the options tab but nothing worked.

So I looked at other tabs, under View, I unchecked "read one image ahead" and this solved the problem. No more hung app when I click on XnView associated files. Everything works fine now.

Thanks for your assistance!

Are you sure that you have only picture file in this folder??

Well I had a few youtube clips (flv) but even when I took them out of the folder the problem was still there. The others are all picture files (jpg, a few bmp). Only when I uncheck "read one image ahead" that it no longer hangs.

Its odd that I never had this problem before, only when I switched to the wide-screen monitor it happened.
