XnView Software

The AppImage package for Linux is missing dependencies, so I was unable to launch this program on a fresh Ubuntu installation!

Many xcb libraries are missing and it took me a while to figure that out. :shock:
Please, always check that the Appimage was bundled properly with all dependencies ...

I can confirm this issue and that the workaround works:

djcj:~$ ./Applications/XnView_MP.glibc2.18-x86_64_3ea1ac568c69f660e6634fba428ff0db.AppImage

Try to do a lossess jpeg crop. Eventually at one of the pictures it may fail.

I send you a PM.

I have jpeg images with a relatively large resolution of 2322x4128.
When I do a lossless jpeg crop it happens often that the program closes (it shows an error message and upon closing the message the program shuts down).
But the cropped file is (often ...

Latest tarball (64 bit) and AppImage are working for me (Ubuntu 18.04).

I get the same with AppImage and tarball:
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50907) with this library (version 0x50c06)
Aborted (core dumped)

For those interested, you can get previous versions here: https://download.xnview.com/old_versions/?C=M;O=D

I assume some Qt library is missing ...

I see that several plugins available on Windows are missing from the Linux build.
But many of them can be build for Linux:

sudo apt install libjpeg-dev libpng16-dev cmake yasm pkg-config autoconf git


git clone https://github.com/packjpg/packJPG

The file Plugins/libwebpdemux.so is linked against libwebp.so.7, but the file inside the Plugins directory is called libwebp.so.

XnView MP doesn't show images from an icns file that are larger than 128x128 pixels. Skipping through the frames it only shows the 128, 32 and 16 square pixels images. But the output of the command line tool icns2png shows me that there's 256 and 512 ...

For some, maybe. The main difference is that snap is a system-agnostic package manager so snap has to be installed.

Suggestion: what about providing a snap package? This could perhaps even replace the .deb and .rpm packages.

Here's a yaml file to build one for the current release: https://gist.github.com/darealshinji/62 ... 2ef916947f

However I can't get the start menu entry to work right now.

If there would be two builds in use with the same version, that would be confusing. Perhaps if you would publish the build number, together with the download link, (and some hash, maybe md5 or better) that would be more transparent for downloaders what version do they have to download...

Thank ...

I see that the libqtav packages are not available on older distros. But you should better check the package in a clean environment (i.e. VirtualBox) to see if it really works without problems.

edit:

Another side-note: in xnview.sh you should always keep the old PATH environment variables:
export ...

I did some checks and it turns out you can install all the Qt libs through the dependencies. This will reduce the package size to 12 mb.
Here's the dependency line: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libilmbase12, libqt5concurrent5, libqt5core5a, libqt5gui5, libqt5multimedia5 ...
