Viewing PNG files

Post by SoCu »

Hi, I'm going to resume this post because with the latest version PNG images with Alpha channel are not displayed properly.

It is configured in the "xnview.ini" file with:
[Load]
useAlpha=false

The image when viewed individually looks fine:

But when displayed in the browser, the image is not seen:

Are there any settings that can be made to be able to see the files properly from the file explore

thank you

Yes, it is configured
[Load]
useAlpha=false

I already had it configured like this, because I couldn't see the TAG files properly.

But if you set it to "true", then you will not see TGA files, that is the configuration you need to have to be able to see that kind of files.

It's not a problem with TGA but alpha in your TGA files.
