Mac: Can't open pictures from WD external hard drive

Hi,

When I click on my external hard drive in the folder panel on the left sidebar, none of my picture folders show up. If I locate the image using Finder and click "open with XnViewMP", it just opens a black file in full screen mode. I use the latest 1.00 version and I have tried downloading older versions but it still doesn't work. I have tried installing other image viewing softwares and they work fine, but I really want to use XnViewMP – it's in my opinion superior to all other.

Hi Pierre. That I don't know, but I would think I have since it worked fine before the sudden problem. How can I check for this? Location: /Volumes/My Passport for Mac/

Removable volumes are allowed to be accessed. It works fine when using my SD card but not the Western digital my passport. I can't seem to find any threads on the internet with same/similar problem.
