XnView Software

Same here. Using dark theme in Windows 11, when right clicking a file that is not an image, the context menu appears in dark mode. When clicking an image file, the menu appears in light mode except for the preview image, its data and the " XNShell > " menu option, just like the posted image.

I'm new to this so I suspect this is pretty obvious for anyone else here but, XnView Shell Extension and SageThumbs basically do the same thing, isn't it?

I mean, they may have different features but the main function is to provide thumbnails and previews of many graphic formats in Windows Explorer ...

Ok, back to previous version for me then and waiting impatiently for the final release

I Run XnView in administrator mode. Now the changes i do in "Tools/Options/System Integration" are committed

you must use a admin console to use register/unregister

I don't even know what an admin console is. The first time I downloaded XnView and XnView Shell Extension, the installer did it all for me. Sorry but I'm a graphic designer, not a programmer :-(

I wonder if Shell Extension is not working ...

Ok, I browsed to C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\ShellEx and found the "register.bat" file, so I suppose this is what you were refering to. Executed it as administrator. Got this error (translating from spanish):
"module XnViewShellExt.dll could not be loaded. Verify the binary file is stored in the ...

Do you have registered the new dll? Do you start XnView as administrator?

How do I register the new dll?
My account has administrator rights but I started XnView normally, by rightclicking an image file and selecting Open with/XnView for Windows and also by opening the program right from Start ...

not all options are unsaved. Changing the background color in the preview panel worked and also changing the layout of the panels (but this one is not inside options but in the view menu)

Please try XnView 1.98 beta 1

Downloaded zip file, replaced all files in installed XnView folder with the ones in the zip. restarted computer. Now XnView Shell Extension doesn't work at all :-(
Not in raws, not in JPGs, not in GIFs, etc. It does not show miniatures or the submenu, as if it was ...

Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird both use new Windows 7 style dialog windows for opening and saving files (like save image, attach file, etc) but when you right-click in an image file in the window, all shell extensions appear except for XNshell.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, XNview 1.97 ...

Sorry for the delay.

Here is a sample, raw (CRW) Canon EOS10D photo taken vertically:

It shows up vertical in XNview but not in XNshell

When I preview a raw image with XnView Shell Extension, the thumbnail is always landscape, despite when I watch it in XnView viewer it is correctly rotated.

I don't know if this happens in all images but it sure happens in Nikon D700 and Canon EOS10D raw images.

I'm using XnView with Shell ...
