XnView Software

Hi,

On my previous laptop when I opened PDF and clicked on the next button in view mode, it will take me to the next pdf, which was really great.

I had to shift to another laptop now and when clicking on the next button it takes me to the next jpg image and only shows jpg image.

How can I get the feature where I can see all pdf files by clicking the next button or the back button.

I have tried lots of forum pages and have been searching for nearly an hour but couldn't find anything and tried lots of changes in setting but nothing worked.

Thanks.

Rahul

Are you able to open PDF files?

If not, you will need to install Ghostscript if it isn't already installed, note that due to recent changes in Ghostscript the version needed depends on the version of XnView MP installed, the latest 0.98.3 should work with the latest version.

If you are able to view PDFs, then stepping between only PDF files is a configuration issue and I don't have an answer to that.

Yes I am able to open the PDF and even zoom in. But next button is a problem. Any chance you can check if it works on your machine?

I have never observed the behaviour you describe, where in a folder containing different file types 'next' and 'previous' step directly between PDF files...

So a configuration option of which I'm not aware, or something specific about the file formats in your folders??

Edit:

In the browser there is an option View > Sort by > Type which could be the answer?

Hi,

I couldn't find anything like View -> Sort

Please see this image:

In the browser, not the viewer: the icon at the left end of the toolbar...

Also, so it is possible right? When in view mode I click next button it should show me the next pdf file, but instead it shows me the next jpeg file, when I click on back button it shows me other image, but doesn't go back to the pdf file.

Did you see my previous post just before your new post?

No. It seems we posted at the same time.

I tried to open a normal pdf from internet and it didn't open and it gave the error for Ghostscript. Although the pdf that I had scanned from my mobile and uploaded were opening. I tried installing ghostscript but it seems the latest version is having some issue with detecting the setting.

I installed xnview classic and ghostscript 32 bit and now it is working great. I suppose till the latest version fixes the ghostscript issue I won't be able to use xnview mp. As per last post on this thread viewtopic.php?t=40907. I suppose the next version will fix the issue.

Probably an unrelated issue if other PDFs still open.

The latest XnView MP version 0.98.3 released last week, according to the change list works with Ghostscript 9.54...

If you are using XnView MP 64-bit version, you can install GS 9.54 64-bit without risking losing PDF viewing in XnView Classic.
