XnView Software

XnView incorrectly displays this APNG file:



The file works fine in Firefox 3.

Hello !

• There are already three main threads about APNG :

1. http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... light=apng

• Your sample works partially in XnView, one frame is not displayed, but the ones working give a different colour
for each displayed character (red, blue…).
• The whole animation works in Firefox, but all characters have the same colour (Yellow-green).
- The animation seems optimized, it should be intersting to test that file as non-optimized…
- Finally, here I have Maxthon¦IE6 browser which doesn't support APNG, but the needed #1 frame
normally planned in such a case telling “Your browser doesn't support APNG blah blah…” is missing…
… or not enabled.

Yes, it is optimized.

frame #1 is 192x72 (that's what you see in IE or old Firefox)
frames #2...#7 are 32x40 (highlighted letters)

I think the problem is that frames shift is calculated as 32x4 bytes, but it should be 32x3 bytes, because this image is 24 bit.


P.S. I don't think every APNG image should have “Your browser doesn't support APNG" message. It this case it's just "MATRIX" without animation.

The colors are fine in 1.93.b1, thanks for fixing that!



But there is still a small problem. The letters should be highlighted one at a time, that's how Firefox displays it.
Maybe this instruction for frames 2-7 is processed incorrectly:

dispose_op = PNG_DISPOSE_OP_PREVIOUS




Also, I found this webpage with lots of APNG examples:
http://treebuilder.de/default.asp?file=89031.xml

I saved them all in one directory, and when I go from one image to another using PgUp/PgDn, sometimes they're displayed correctly, and sometimes they are not. It's somewhat unpredictable.

Where did APNG come from? I was under the impression that animated PNGs are MNGs, and they've existed since 2001.

Everything works fine in v1.93 Beta 2. Thank you!
