Re: SKF-file does not open
Do you have Ghostscript x32 installed? I suspect -- but am not sure and have been unable to confirm using Search -- that it may be needed to open a skf file, the x32 version even on Windows x64 as XnView is x32 software.
Can you upload an example skf file if the problem remains unsolved? (1MB maximum in a zip).

Re: SKF-file does not open
I downloaded XNView. I also downloaded Ghostscript x32. I attempted to open a .skf file and no luck.
Then I tried to use Open With - the ghost script file and still no luck.
Can someone tell me how they were able to use XnView and Ghostscript x32 to open the .skf files. I know I am not doing something right.

Re: SKF-file does not open
XnView doesn't support the SKF vector format, only the thumbnail contained in the file...
You might check if you can view the thumbnail in the browser, if that would be of any use to you, I'm not sure whether it would be displayed with the default browser settings, though.
My reference to Ghostscript above was an aberration, as Ghostscript is only relevant to PDF, PS and possibly AI files from memory.
