XnView Software

XnViewMP 1.6.1 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Browser - thumbnail - overlay icon
there is no overlay indicator to visually separate plain images and multipage/video/audio files

Suggestion

• add duration indicator
  • file types
    video/audio
    ##:##
    
    images
    • generalized
      # P - all multipage files
    • detailed
      # P - multipage
      # F - multiframe
      # L (optional) - multilayer (eg .psd)
  • appearance (see lr example)
    - bg - 24px height black, 70% opacity
    - text - #DCDCDC color
  • location
    - bottom left corner, on the same level with bottom overly icons (by default)
    it looks fine with Dark theme, but not 100% sure about Default/Light theme

Example

• multipage file

I don't use multipage file and don't use MP for audio files.
But for video files the ability to see the duration is very useful. Sometimes I have to open video files in an external player to check the duration.
The definition (e.g. 1280x720) of the video file would also be useful, but maybe I'm asking too much.

The main reason why multipage/frame/layer, video/audio files are mentioned here - duration indicator shall be unified (appearance and position).
So, no matter what media it is, you will have same looking duration indicator in bottom left corner by default.

I think it's better to place it in a label either
- using updated {Width}, {Height} tags that can also read video files OR
- using new tags (but without conditional functionality 'x' between them will be always visible).

Yes! I inserted into the labels "{Width} x {Height} - {DPI} @{Bpp} {Size KB} kb", but it only works with images. In video labels, the label remains empty.
I included the same thing in the tooltips and in fullscreen info. If it worked for video/audio/etc, that would be great.

Earliest requests date back 15 years:

• Sorting Gifs: Animated, multi image, Fix
• Images & Videos thumbnails: Visual differentiator
• Multipage information text

ok, so duration for video/audio file. And for multipage?

guess there are 2 options for multi-page/frame/layer files:

• generalized
  - # P - for all of them

• detailed
  - # P - multipage
  - # F - multiframe
  - # L (optional) - multilayer (eg .psd)

generalized is fine, the only reason I added detailed - because Viewer use '# page/layer' naming in status bar for such files

ps: I have updated pictures in the first post

See issue for current status and some details.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.4. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

done in 184

for GIF - it would be handy to have setting to load counters for the whole folder
it looks like the following setting was removed:

Code: Select all

[Load] GIFFullLoading=true

How that? This setting is not removed

but it does not work when added to the xnview.ini file -
counters do not appear for all GIFs as soon as I open folder in Browser tab, they only appear when I select GIFs one by one

strange, i have counters for gif. You reproduce with clean database?

yep, its due to cataloged items

0. clean portable app
catalog is enabled
1. open folder with GIFs
no counters for all GIFs, counter appears when click on file
2. close app
3. add to xnview.ini: [Load] GIFFullLoading=true
4. open folder with GIFs
no counters for all GIFs, counter appears when click on file
5. goto Settings > Catalog >Delate all
6. open folder with GIFs
counters will appear for all GIFs

I thought that counters are not stored in db, since they are not saved when Browser tab is reopened (with default settings: Catalog is ON and no GIFFullLoading in ini)

yes, only for files not yet in database. It is stored.
