Hi,
I used ACDSee before.... (boooo ) but it is too heavy despite my good hardware !! So I change to XnView, it's better
But I can't configure it like I want... I only have 2 questions:
1/
How can I have 2 XnView installation working independently : each have proper settings, proper file association, proper cache folders...
So I try to make one classic setup for all users. And I download a ZIP file and I extract files to one folder... But the associations are not working separately! How can I do that ? Like Two different software ?
2/
How can I use only one tab to open pictures from the browser or the windows explorer ??
Thanks

- Create a directory…
- %ProgramFiles%\XnView\
- %ProgramFiles%\XnView\1st\
- %ProgramFiles%\XnView\2nd\
- Download one of the following install packages… … and extract the ZIP archive to both of the two subdirectories.
- Use a text editor (e.g. NotePad) to create config files…
- %ProgramFiles%\XnView\1st\xnview.ini
- %ProgramFiles%\XnView\2nd\xnview.ini
Code: Select all
[Start] ParamsSavingMode=1
- Create shortcuts:
- XnView #1 = %ProgramFiles%\XnView\1st\xnview.exe -ini %ProgramFiles%\XnView\1st\xnview.ini
- XnView #2 = %ProgramFiles%\XnView\2st\xnview.exe -ini %ProgramFiles%\XnView\2st\xnview.ini
