1.8.6: Open Archives (*.zip etc.) in XnViewMP does not work anymore

Version: XnView MP 1.8.6 64 bit
OS: Linux 64bit
Problem:
If you click on an archive file or press Enter, the content is no longer displayed (I have only tested zip files, but it is likely that the other archive files are also affected)
I had a look at the old AppImage versions to find out from which version it stopped working:
The last version where it still works is:
- XnView_MP-1.5.5.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage
The first version where this no longer works:
- XnView_MP-1.6.0.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage
In this context, I noticed that the rating of images within (zip-)archives does not work (in version 1.5.5). But I don't know if this is a bug or if it belongs to the “Suggestions” section.
bye,
jacomo

What do you mean exactly? Do you mean
XnView_MP-1.8.6-linux-x64.tgz? Or do you mean a plugin? Is the code of tgz and AppImage different? Whatever you want - i can try it some hours later.

I think probably the developer meant to ask me to verify if the same error occurs with the tgz archive, in order to isolate the problem.
Oh well, gotta put in the effort.

Hi!
First of all, sorry for the late reply.
I have now tested several versions (under Linux).
Notes:
- Tested with *.zip and *.rar archives
- The test platform was Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.
Code: Select all
---------------------------------------------------------
| AppImage | tgz | deb |
---------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.00.0 | ok | ok | |
Version 1.3.1 | --(1) | ok | ok |
Version 1.4.0 | ok | ok | |
Version 1.4.5 | ok | ok | |
Version 1.5.0 | ok | ok | |
Version 1.5.5 | ok | ok | ok |
Version 1.6.0 | --(2) | --(3) | --(3) |
Version 1.6.5 | --(2) | --(3) | |
Version 1.7.0 | --(2) | --(3) | |
Version 1.7.2 | --(2) | --(3) | |
Version 1.8.0 | --(2) | --(3) | |
Version 1.8.7 | --(2) | --(3) | --(3) |
---------------------------------------------------------
ok = Unpacking within XnView is possible, images were displayed
-- = Unpacking within XnViewMP is NOT possible
[empty] = Not tested
(1) Archives could be opened, thumbnails were displayed as placeholders, images could not be displayed
(2) Enter or double-click on the archive does nothing
(3) The linked unpacker is opened (here engrapa)
bye
