XnView Software

Hello,
I'm trying to use this mighty XnViewMp as picture - manager on my PC and from PC to smartphone (Android)

I'm testing and working on several sites of the program and believe that xnview can do this job - but:

in the moment xnview does not write to the phone (via USB-connection). The explorer works well with the same connection and parameters.

xnview asks if to create a new directory - then : copying - and then: no permission to write.

where is it possible to handle this permission?
I started xnview "as Administrator" - no success.

anyone any idea please?

No problem, Klaus. Welcome to the forum (-:

Unfortunately I don't have an Android device, so I can't do any tests myself.

• jpg Metadata, Importing, and Multiple Computers (XnView MP)
• Browsing Pics on Android phone directly (XnView Classic)

.....but on another phone this option is working? Or is it possible that there is a problem with this function, that none noticed because it is used too seldom?

Here is the error which pops up:

Thank you for the screenshot, Klaus.

I believe the problem has to do with your destination (“Ziel”): “:misc/”

Expected behaviour: XnView should display a warning or something informing the user about invalid characters.

'\', ':' & '"' must not be accepted in filename field[/quote]

I believe the problem has to do with your destination (“Ziel”): “:misc/”

At least that was my guess too.
The only mystery is: I choose a "normal destination" in XnviewMp during copy - will say:

storage\SD-Card\Dcim\myPictures - and the answer is on the screenshot.

so, where does the ":/misc" come from???

This might be a bug in XnView MP (or Qt), but I don't know for sure. Pierre (the developer of XnView) will have to look into this on Monday.

• Qt Bug Tracker: Provide support for Android's new Permission Model
• bytran: Requesting Android Marshmallow runtime permissions from Qt

PS: Can you manually change the value for “Ziel” to “:sdcard/”, Klaus?

from where comes misc:???

from where comes misc:???

Hello Pierre!

I hoped, you could tell me......

I mark the picture(s) to copy --> then I coose "copy to" --> In the following window I can choose the destiny and go to the path on my phone.
until the last click onto "BilderKlaus" you can see the source-path in the destination-path-window --> when I click "BilderKlaus" the window goes empty and the complete window disappears. --> then there comes: "the path does not exist" - create it? --> after ok the error in my second post appears: first: "copy to :\misc" then "cannot open destination"

The ":\misc" is appearing from Nirwana.....

some more details:

there is no difference if I copy to the SD-Card or to the Phone-Memory.

This happens in USB-Mode MSP or PPP. In developer-mode there is no error popping up but the copy doesn't work either.

If I copy with xnviewMp to an USB-HDD for example - it works fine.

If I copy with explorer or MyPhoneExplorer it works well to the phone.

you start XnView MP, in browser select some picture files, and use 'copy to', choose sdcard or phone card?

Yes, exactly in that way!
