XnView Software

Whenever I use XnView to export any image to PNG, a lock appears over the file. This is because, for some reason, XnView exports the PNG file without any rights for normal Users. This is something that only happens for PNG export. It doesn't happen when you Export as JPG or if you Save as PNG. Here are images to illustrate it:


The original file. A PNG


The file, after exporting as PNG


Because there are no read/write rights for normal Users.

I've already tried running XnView as administrator, but that didn't work. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am running:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit
XnView v1.97.8
Graphics card: Nvidia Quadro FX 770M

I can't reproduce, do you use 'export' or 'save as'?

I use 'Export'. 'Save as' works just fine the way it should.

I don't have any other image editing software on my laptop besides MS Paint, so I don't think that interferes either.
I have K-lite Codec Pack installed, but that shouldn't cause a problem.

i've tried but no problem...

Now that's just strange... I'll check on my end to see what could be wrong.

I've looked into my system, but really couldn't find anything wrong...

And now I also get these locks when I export to JPG. This is so strange...

and only by Export??

Yes, only by Export. But I've noticed a "pattern" now.

This only happens whenever I press Refresh before saving (I have Auto refresh off). If I don't Refresh before saving, everything's fine.
