Pierre,
XnView 1.80 and 1.80.1 can't support Webshots (.wbz, .wbc) files. Why?

In XnView 1.80 with replaced exe (version 1.80.1) I'm can't view any WBZ or WBC picture. Any idea?

So your problem is actually with 1.80.1, NOT 1.8. I never updated to 1.80.1, I'm still using 1.80.

Do you have enabled options/General/Startup/Use all formats?

I am using the windows version of XnView, version 1.80.1, with "all formats" checked under general options, and am unable to view wbz files.

Could you send me a sample, please?

Well, I just installed 1.80.1 and tried it with webshots files, and it worked fine. Have you tried opening those same files in 1.74? Perhaps there's something wrong with the files themselves.

I have the same problem and it also displays error message: "Format of the file <file name.wbc> could not be determined"

Go to associations in the options menu, scroll down, and see if WBC, WBP, and WBZ appear as options. (Don't change anything, just see if those 3 are there.)
Cannot view Webshots files

The following info may be useful for anyone reading this topic.The reason I ended up here was for the same as mentioned before.Under associations the wbc and wbz extensions were not listed.I triplechecked!
However,since I was encouraged by Drahken,I tried to open a webshots .wbc file.The little dialogbox first showed the type of file as "All files".When I used the arrow for the dropdown menu,among all the file ext. ,only Webshots wb1 was listed.When OK'd, the file did open and could be viewed.
I then went further and converted the file to jpg.Worked fine Closed XnView.When I reopened it and checked Associations again,all of a sudden those extensions (wb1,wbc and wbz) had been added to the list.
Don't ask me how

All I know they are there now.
That's all I needed.
Good luck to all.
Peter.
