XnView Software

This image view is amazzing but loads of pictures (managa/comics/other*cough*) are delivered in zip or rar format, please please please include reading images from these formats!

You can by using Archive addon

hello, sorry was on holiday a while, thanks for the reply but i can't seem to make it work:

Im running Win7-64 & XnView 1.97.4

I tried unziping the zip.zip & archive.zip's to 'Addon' 'Addons' & 'Plugins' under

C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView

tested on a few zip/rar archives containing jpgs neither combination seems to work?

hi, I've just come back to trying to set this up still can't make it work?

anyone else have problems with this on windows 7?

given that zip/rar makes jpg from 97-102% of its old size, and it chews up your CPU/HDD, I suggest you either use NTFS compression (which will give you the same) or just unpack everything

FAQ 'Let's talk about Plug-Ins... ...and AddOns' might help.

Could you please check whether the ZIP addon is installed properly (check is described in the FAQ above)?

Hi, thanks for the pointers,

I now have a default install of XnView 1.97.6 with:
http://www.xnview.com/download/addons/archive.zip
extracted to :
C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\AddOn

This will let me view images inside zip files when I launch XnView then browse to the zip file, but only individually, I can't jump to the next file in the zip.
I also can't right click zip files and open with XnView. It just returns the error:
"Format of the file <file> could not be determined"

Keeping the images in zip files is essential as millions of content is distributed this way, even if its not a smart idea!
