XnView Software

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed XNView for the first time.

It looks good, but I noticed that the checkboxes in the 'Options - Associations' dialog are disabled, so I can't manually set a file association.

If I use the 'The Most Used' or 'Add All' buttons the associations are set but I can't do it by clicking on individual check boxes - nothing happens when I do, so I'm guessing they've inadvertantly been set to 'disabled'.

Is this a bug, or have I missed something?

I can set the associations in Windows Explorer's 'Tools - Folder Options - File Types' menu, but that's pretty tedious when there are a lot of file types to associate with XNView.

I'm using XNView 1.82.4 on Windows 2000 SP4.

Hello !

• I tested with the same version, there is no problem here, I can tick¦untick any box of any file-type in the “Associations” setting page…

- I didn't use any button at the bottom (like "The most used" etc.)

- AFAIK, there not any setting else that could lock this function, and I never see such an issue either in the 1.82.4 or in older versions…

• Personally, I don't use that page, I set the associations from Total Commander as and when required.

Kind regards,
Claude

@Noddy:

One of the board members has made a special tool which helps you to manage the file-type associations for XnView.

Okay, I fixed it (sort of). I uninstalled XNView and reinstalled it and now the checkboxes are working now. No idea what caused the problem.
