XnView 1.82 RC1

[xnview]

Hello,

the first Release Candidate version of XnView 1.82 is available. First we had Alpha, Beta, and now Release Candidates (RC). In Wikipedia you'll find a good description of the various development stages. This Release Candidate should be of reasonable quality, but still may have some bugs.

Important Notes:
+ Normal users should use the current Final version of XnView, which is version 1.80.3. Please see topic XnView 1.80.3 for details.
+ Download portals and websites must link to final versions of XnView only, and in no case link to this Beta version.

Download & Feedback
XnView 1.82 RC1 is available here.

At this stage I'd like get feedback for bugs (large and minor), or other comments regarding the added features. Thanks to report bugs, GPFs, or other problems found in the Beta. For further testing please make sure that you use this version (not an old beta).

All problems listed in group "Fixed in beta 4" are supposed to be fixed. If you have reported a bug and it is listed in 'Fixed in beta 4' please verify whether it has been really fixed.

Thank you, Pierre, for the first Release Candidate. Again, you've put quite some effort into development and bug fixing, which is very good.

Right! I have just seen the dance of threads moving from New/Open -> Closed... and it's really great!
Thank you Pierre for the improvements.

It's strange to see the labels description in the latest versions since they didn't worked in any release after the latest full release, in all followed alpha, beta, RC versions the thumbanail labels don't work here, i tried clean install, different folders, etc.
Any idea of how make it work?

Many thanks for the excellent software and keep the excellent work.

XnView,

are you in 'Thumbnail & Labels"?

...means: did you select the View as 'Thumbnails and Labels' as seen here?
