XnView Software

Here's a side by side comparison of a folder in MP and Classic.
Why don't the thumbnails display in MP?
Is this controlled by one or more settings?
Is it to do with the folder location?

I'm stumped!

Could you please post a screenshot of your configuration in Tools » Settings... » File list » Custom filter?
What are your settings in View » Filter by?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm filtering on Custom, though I have tried changing it with no effect.

Here's the screenshot.

Thank you for the screenshot.

I don't think so.
Does this occur with other folders too?
Is Enable thumbnail caching in Tools » Settings... » Catalog » Catalog » Cache maintenance activated?
If so, could you please Rebuild thumbnails for Cache directory Z:\Artefacts\Imagery\Photo\Calendric\2011\11\06\?

Yes, it occurs with other folders. Some, but not all.

Caching: there's an Enable thumbnail caching tickbox that's selected.
Is that what you're after?
That particular directory wasn't cached.
MP spent some while building the catalog when I added the folder.
Then crashed. Report file d7e5264a-4ad5-4d50-bb6d-fcd238cdfa2d.dmp

Aside from that, whenever I try to rebuild thumbnails, MP crashes.

Yes, exactly.

Could you please send the DMP file(s) to contact[ät]xnview[d0t]com for Pierre (the developer of XnView) to analyze?

Yes. Having done that a few time already, regarding other crashes, Pierre & I have had an occasional dialogue, but there's no futher clue yet.

I gather that there's nothing more I can do now about this particular problem. Or is there?

If not, MP is usable only for a select group of images on this machine.

really strange, could you try to move xnview.db & thumb.db file on a temporary folder?

Do you want me to change the path in Tools | Settings|Integration|Other Settings?
Currently I am using a custom location for all three (catalog, thumbs, other)

No, only move the .db files in another folder, to start with a clean database

I'm not sure if my problem is the same or not, but the title fits.

I am going through a folder full of movies taken by our gopro. There are gopro's mp4 files and gopro's .thm files.
The .thm files just show is icons and don't show the image.
They show as images in Xnview Classic, however.

I have "Enable Thumbnail caching" enabled; but I think my problem is different.

The GoPro THM files seem to be JPEGs with a different filename extension.
You can tell XnView Classic to Recognize only by extension (Tools » Options… » File List » Misc.). MP doesn't have this setting (yet).

I haven't had a chance to try this yet - busy month... will post when I do.

Ah, yes, I thought I saw *somewhere* that it was really a jpg file.

Funny thing is that I can VIEW it in the viewer - it just doesn't show as thumbnail. Classic already displays it. But MP - I even set MP to be the default viewer for THM files.

So, there is currently no way to make MP display thm files in the browser mode?

I found a few samples and MP's browser creates thumbnails for these THMs on my XP box.
Is Show all graphic formats (Tools » Settings… » General » General) activated?
