XnView Software

I found here: https://github.com/SpecterShell/Dumplings/blob/main/Tasks/XnSoft.XnConvert/Script.ps1

That there are also versioned downloads here: https://download.xnview.com/old_versions/XnConvert/

Which can be used to find out what version is the latest. I created a PR to Scoop to use this URL ...

The homepage is not updated with v1.102:

Which is used by package managers like Scoop to autoupdate the app manifest:

Are there other sources we can use to get informed of ...

Installing v1.100.1.0 over v1.98.0 does not remove the v1.98.0 information from Windows Registry, thus the system and Winget will think v1.98.0 is still installed.

It looks correct in XnView MP v1.6.2 as far as I can see, great.

Here's an image that doesn't look right even with ICC enabled in XnView MP v1.6.1:

Then I'd like to change this to a feature request.

User story: As a non-technical user I expect an image viewer to display a valid image correctly by default. HDR images will likely get more common in the future.
Feature rquest: Change default behavior to ...

Opening JPEG XL HDR images in XnViewMP on a system that does not support HDR makes the images appear dark and dull compared to opening the same image with a program that seems to handle HDR better, like the Thorium web browser in my example.

Sample image can be found here:

Currently, XnViewMP v1.3.1 does not handle AVIF images if the file extension is renamed to .HEIC or .HEIF.

As long as the container is HEIF, XnViewMP should handle common file extensions used for images in this container. For both AV1 and HEVC.

Windows supports this "natively", as long as you have ...

I'd really love this too

Hi!

WebP is supposed to work as both a lossy and lossless codec. But when you can't set the output quality to be 100% in XnConvert, it's not possible to create lossless images with WebP.
WebP does also have a bunch of usefull switches that i'd really like to adjust in order to get the output I want ...
