File Not Found when I try to open something.
Ever since that last update some files now do an error with "file not found" when I try to open it. What is happening?

Probably some files were moved/renamed/deleted outside of XnViewMP, or the path they were on (external drive or NAS) is not available or has changed.
You can either find them and put them back, or...
Try Tools->Settings:Catalog->Synchronize Folders and the missing files will no longer appear in the application

No I mean when I open up an image in a folder it doesn't open it. I moved the folder to a different spot and it now opens some images.jkm wrote: Wed Mar 18, 2026 6:29 pm Probably some files were moved/renamed/deleted outside of XnViewMP, or the path they were on (external drive or NAS) is not available or has changed.

Was that the update before the latest one? Yeah I didn't have this problem then, only after the current update installed.
