  100	set-name.png	info.png

Hello,
Good idea, in current configuration it cannot be used. I tried it but it did not work, nothing change. (Ubuntu 25.1 xnview mp 4k screen fractionnal scaling on)

Hi. What do the square blue icons mean? I see the "X" "I" "E" ones on some of my files and I have no clue about what they're supposed to tell me.

I tried to search the answer on my own, but I found nothing in the settings, nothing in the menus, no tooltips, it looks like there's no proper documentation anywhere, the only promising link is to a dead wiki that redirects to this forum, and here I only found more dead links and some ancient blog posts. Is there any actual documentation available?
