Is the installation folder for plugins on Linux systems
?
And is this the package to install BPG plugin on Linux XNView MP here:
http://www.xnview.com/download/plugins/bpg.zip
or here:
https://github.com/256bai/ifbpg/blob/ma ... -0.9.5.zip
Can someone tell me how to install this plugin? I've been trying and failing.

The following step-by-step instructions should also work for the 32-bit edition of XnViewMP:
32-bit plug-ins are
not compatible with 64-bit editions of XnView, XnViewMP or XnConvert.

Thanks!
I'm using 64-bit XNViewMP. Are Xsusie.dll and ifBPG.spi 32-bit?
I just uninstalled the 64-bit version and installed the 32-bit version. I put both Xsusie.dll and ifBPG.spi in the Plugin folder. I restarted XNViewMP and tried to open a bpg file. It says "File can't be loaded."
Here's some screenshots:
It appears that the BPG plugin isn't installed correctly.

Yes, I just checked again: Both are 32-bit DLLs.

There are currently two BPG plug-ins: One is based on the
Susie API (
Xsusie.dll +
ifBPG.spi),
the other uses
bpgdec.exe (BPG Image Decoder) of the official
binary distribution for Windows.
Unfortunately I can't do tests on Linux myself, and I don't know if or how XnViewMP/XnConvert for Linux interact with Windows DLLs.
We have to wait for the developer of XnView. He can give you a definitive answer.

XnTriq, I was able to install Simple BPG Image Viewer
https://github.com/asimba/pybpgviewer/releases, which is okay for the time being. But I'd much prefer to view BPGs in XnViewMP. Hopefully a Linux user can help me with this.

Hello,
Not for the bpg plugin for XnViewMP linux, but just to play with bpg format into Linux (decoder and encoder and viewer)...
A workaround:
Install or compile the latest bpg-0.9.5-linux.tar.xz, or in case of trouble to compile the latest bpg-0.9.5-linux.tar.xz, you can download the 0.9.5 or 0.9.4 static linux binary here, to make some .bpg tests:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/uyycc ... d64.tar.xz
http://www.mediafire.com/download/muwfw ... nux.tar.xz
Code: Select all
ex:
./bpgview file.bpg
./bpgdec -i 003.bpg -o out.png
./bpgenc lena30.jpg -o out.bpg
