XnView Software

Hi,

I belong to a group of volunteers who, amongst other things, do the post processing for books to become ebooks.

I work with a post-processing programme called Guiguts, and if you have your html document open, you can click on a button "See Img" and then XnView should call up the appropriate png image, to compare with the text in the html document.

This has always worked in the past. Now I get a message: "Error opening the file <C:\DP\Chats on Oriental China\pngs\.jpg

1. My laptop runs on Windows 8.1
2. My filepath is as above, WITHOUT the .jpg. I don't know where the .jpg comes from.

This is very frustrating. Can anyone help me?

the change is windows version, right?

No, it did work for my previous project that I worked on. And it also worked when I first started on the present project. Somewhere along the way it stopped working. I thought it might have something to do with a change in the CSS that was changed, but now when I open my first project, at also does not work anymore.

This message (“Error opening the file…”) seems to be related to spaces and/or unicode characters in the file path.

It was the way Brodgar invoked the graphic viewer. Alain will fix this and provide a version which will work with XnView.

Like I've said, on my 98 machine, this works fine but on the W2k machine, I don't get to see a pip squeak.

The older Windows versions will persist for a while, so I still wonder whether XnView's interpretation of the command line couldn't be made smarter so that it recognizes even a command line with spaces in the filename/path without double quoting the file names.

The problem is like that:
xnview file1.jpg file2.jpg => 2 parameters received
xnview file with space.jpg => 3 parameters received
So for the second, " is needed.
