XnView Software

fpx is on the list of supported formats, but I can't open this with XnView MP. Thanks for your help.

I can't either, after hours spent messing with it. Does anyone know of another product that can?

you need the FPX plugin (only for 32bits version)

I don't seem to have the subdirectory for the plugin.

Q1) Where should the subdirectory be found?
Q2) Which plugin handles the .FPX file?

I am on a mid 2015 Macbook Pro with MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

Thanks
Bill

the plugin is only available for windows x32bits

Thanks Pierre. Guess it’s time to break out the old Win XP machine. It’s been dormant since I switched to Mac in 2015. To bad you don’t have the plug-in for Mac because I REALLY like the application.

Hi Pierre,

So I resurrected my old windows machine, Win xp Professional Version 2002, so I could use the fpx plugin.
I downloaded the 32 bit version of XnViewMP and extracted it to a directory on the XP machine.
I downloaded the FPX plugin, and extracted it to the Plugins subdirectory.
When I run the XnViewMP Executable, I get an "Invalid 32 bit application" error message. (Note, I left Windows land for Apple land in 2015 so my windows skills are really rusty, so bare with me please.)
I also tried the Setup Win 32 bit download and got the same error when I tried to run the executable.
So, what am I missing? Probably something obvious.
BTW, The version of XnView I am running on my mac is really handy but I have old .fpx images from 1998 that, if I convert to fpx using another MAC program, it strips all the meta data. So I'm hoping XnViewMP solves that problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bill
