PL and XNviewMP conflicting

Beitrag von PhilM »

Hello,

PL and XNviewMP (1.4.3 64bit) are conflicting.
I am using XNviewMP as browser/cataloger.

In Photoline, if I copy an image layer, PL remains stuck for 15-30 seconds.
After that, I can paste the new layer.
PL does not crash.
It does not happen with copying adjustment layers.

PL versions 23.52, 23.53 and 23.90b8.
Win 10.

Best regards

Phil

Launch XNviewMP.
Open an image in PL.
Edit/Copy (or Ctrl C) the image layer.

PL will freeze for 15-30 seconds.

I installed XnView 2.51.2 here and tested right now - no problem.

The problem I describe is with XNviewMP, not XNview.

I'm running XnView MP 1.4.3 on macOS and can not reproduce the problem...

PhotoLine puts different formats on the clipboard. Among them is also the PNG format. XNView MP immediately requests this PNG data, which unfortunately may take a relatively long time to generate.
In our opinion, the fault is therefore rather on the side of XNView, because there is not really a reason to request the data, because it shouldn't need it at this time.
We will speed up the generation of the PNG data a bit, but that is the only thing we can do from our side.

I am specially interested in XNview as it reads the .pld files and displays the vignette.

I used also Faststone, but it does not even show the filename ...

In XNview, I can customize the vignette background color.
So when I browse a folder, I can immediately see the jpg/raw files that have been developed in PL
I can launch Pl from the browser.

In addition, XNview takes care of the sidecar files to move/delete them with their main file

Thanks for investigating

Did you receive any feedback from XNviewMP ?

XNviewMP has issued a corrected version that resolves the problem : 1.4.4

.pld compatible, shows the vignette.
Highly customizable.
Shows detailed EXIF and Maker notes.

That's great news! This was a really old problem (I started a thread about this in 2018), that made it almost impossible to run XNView MP and Photoline together.
So thanks for contacting the develloper of XNView 👍!
