XnView Software

I am not sure if this is what the similar current topic is about, if it is a duplicate please merge (not a native speaker, sorry).

I have only noticed this with *.rw2 files after currently getting a Panasonic Lumix to play with.

In the file/folder browser XnView correctly identifies the actual resulution.

when I open the file preview XnView claims that the resolution is a much lower 1920x1440 ONLY when it is an *.RW2 file (or at least as the only one of the RAW files I work with).

The resize function in that view will also treat it as 1920x1440 while right click -> properties gives the correct resolution in the XnView property window.

The setting for Camera Raw are set to original size (default as it comes with a fresh install, and it always works with e.g. *.NEF or *.NRW)

See attached screenshots (again 7z with webp2 as the board software won't take them and it would be too large otherwise), thanks.

Ok, toggling the first dropdown seems to change it for this file format, do you have any idea why e.g. *.NEF is not affected by this setting at all?

It should also have no effect on the resize function, or I am wrong?

In any case there must be some bug when the options have different results for different file formats, I think. At least in our own software (nothing with images, though) I would still classify it as a bug - if this is correct it behaves wrong with e.g. Nikon files.

In any case, thanks - I can deal with this for the moment
