On Windows (Seven), the first launch can take more than 45 seconds, no other software on my PC takes so long. Previous versions did not have this problem. For information I use the 32bit version because the 64 takes too much memory.
I tried deleting xnview.ini (I use xnview long time and I have a lot of customizations) and (unless I am mistaken) I get the same result.
With Linux I have no problem, but it's another PC with little pictures.
What can i do ?

Re: First start XnView MP 0.76.1 is very slow
do you start in a folder with many picture files?
Do you have tried to remove the .db?

Re: First start XnView MP 0.76.1 is very slow
I start in folder with 300 pictures, by a double clic on a file from windows explorer. But sometime there were more than 1000 pictures, without probleme with older version (before 0.76.1 i do not remember the version, perhaps 0.72 ?)
I have removed Thumb.db (35 368ko) and XnView.db (64 048ko). Before my post I have tried to reduce and clean the Thumb database from the interface, with no amelioration.
I have removed pictures, i have less than 100.
I think it is faster now, never more than 15s. I will do more tests.
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.

Re: First start XnView MP 0.76.1 is very slow
15s to start the viewer. It is as slow to start that LR 6 ...
There is a lot of disk access, i think, because after the first start, the next starts are very fast (less than 1s)
But after a lot of work on LR, the start is slow again (the cache has been freed).
I will try with older versions.

Re: First start XnView MP 0.76.1 is very slow
yes, please. if you start XnView MP with a picture file from a folder with only 2 picture files, do you have same delay?chacha38 wrote:15s to start the viewer. It is as slow to start that LR 6 ...

Re: First start XnView MP 0.76.1 is very slow
No significant difference between the version 0.76.1 and the 0.72, around 15s
No significant difference with a folder with 1 picture
When starting after suppression of XnView.db and thumb.db, XnView.db creation is done about 4 seconds before display and thumb.db 1s before display
I did a test (not a first launch) in a folder with 951 pictures (24mp). The display came in about 1s, and after i went to the browse mode, the thumbnails were done in 40s
My drive a conventional 2TB disk, rather fast.
But 15s is long but acceptable, it is only for the first launch. When i did my initial post, before my first delete XnView.db, the time to wait for the first launch was 45s.

Re: First start XnView MP 0.76.1 is very slow
It's a small picture (1300x900)
But i think i have found the origin of the problem...
I have set the antivirus (Microsoft security essentiel) so that it does not scan the XnView binary directory, and since the starts are never slow.
I don't know why XnView is more impacted than other heavier software (for the moment and i am not young, I had more trouble with antiviruses than viruses)...
Sorry to have bothered you
