XnView Software

"View">"Use sharpen" causes the impossibility of viewing GIF-animation:

The bug was found on version 1.6.4, but it was quite possible that it was in earlier versions.

XnViewMP 1.6.4 x64 portable. Windows 11.

NB - Important condition: there must be other files (JPG/PNG/WEBP) in the folder with the animation file. The failure occurs precisely when viewing files sequentially in a folder with such a set of files at the moment of transition from a regular file to an animated one.

I don't have this problem with my gif files.
It would be helpful if you share your .gif and .ini.

I would like to clarify - do you have the same version of the program and OS?

Any GIF animation doesn’t work for me, it’s not a matter of a specific file.

The version of the INI file corruption is quite logical, but the fact is that I double-checked it on XnViewMP 1.6.4 Portable, which I had just downloaded from the website - and there, on a completely new, just created INI with standard settings, the GIF animation does not work for me exactly just like on my old INI...

Moreover, I have now found out that when I turn on the “Use Sharpen” parameter, not only GIF animation does not work, but also any animation that the program supports - GIF, WEBP, JPG-XL, PNG.

can confirm the issue

I apologize for my long absence.

Unfortunately, the problem is not solved, everything still happens as shown in my first video. Only turning off the "View">"Use sharpen" option in Settings helps.

NB: for testing you should make sure to have also regular images (JPG, PNG etc) in the folder together with the animation file.

v1.7.0.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
