Opening a video file with the default system application (by pressing F3 for example) doesn't work. It doesn't do anything.
XnView 1.82 RC3
Works here

Hello !
- I can
not confirm, I just tested some
*.mpg and
*. wmv, this opens the Windows Media Player alright, as well from the local menu as with the
F3 key…
Under XP-Pro SP1 - XnView 1.82 RC3

I can't confirm - MPC opens the video just fine.

Now that's a really strange one: My default video player is VLC and XNView shows the mentioned bug if i try to open a video pressing F3.
So out of curiosity i made MPC my default player and suddenly it worked.
How is this possible? How can it be that XNView won't open VLC but MPC?

VLC might be using a non-standard method for associating files.

I just had a look at it in my registry and you're kinda right. VLC is using "Play" instead of "Open" as default command.... XNView seems to be looking for the "open" command though....
