Been using XnView for a while now on my PC, Windows 10 - personal/home usage only.
Today, while using it, it said there was an update and it directed me to download the latest version, which I did. However I am looking at the zip contents (I downloaded the Extended zipfile as I wanted to try out some of the features in it not found in the others) and there are a few different .exe files, and not sure how, exactly, I am to update the program? Which .exe do I use for updating? When I clicked on the XnView .exe it just opened it up in a browser-looking format.... no kind of prompt to actually install. I currently have it in my menu so that when I right click on an image, I can view it in the program:
so using the browser format isn't really necessary for me.
This is the first time I'm updating the program so I'm kind of at a loss. I'm pretty decent in regards to computers (not an expert however not a noob either) however this has me stumped. I even read the "read me" text file and it doesn't address the actual steps and/or list which file(s) to use to update.
If you are using XnView Classic, which seems to be the case, the best update you could make would be to install the latest XnView MP Setup version, unless you have a reason for preferring the ZIP version.
XnView MP is the future of XnView with many advantages and enhancements. You can install it alongside XnView Classic if you wish.
