Use two versions of XnView MP?

Post by obelisk »

Is it possible to have multiple versions of MP installed.
I need to keep .87 for viewing, as newer ones has the rotate bug
but I need newer ones for other functions.
Can they use the same catalog/cache, and I use 2 shortcuts to open?

One way to achieve that would be to use ZIP versions, with shortcuts to the xnview.exe files...

Or you could use a ZIP version with an existing installed version.

Can they use the same catalog/cache?
Possibly with the locations set to be the same in Settings... > Integration; I see that it is possible to specify custom locations, so shared locations might/should work.

Possibly you could do some tests, if necessary backing up your existing files first?

Can anyone else comment on that?
