XnView Software

Thanks for the fix. Could you please also add the header to the EXIF (not ExifTool) and other tabs containing a key-value list?

you means the search feature?

The indentation takes too much space as you can see in the screenshot, can it be narrower?

it's the standard space


I meant the ...

uncheck Create thumbnails for whole folder (Settings > Thumbnails)


Thanks for the info.

I really didn't get the meaning of "Create thumbnails for the whole folder".

After unchecking it, not all thumbnails are loaded when the startup or changing to a new folder, but when I scroll the file list ...

Currently XnView MP actively loads all image thumbnails of the folder. If a folder contains thousands of images, the memory pressure is quite big.

Could you add an option to load only the thumbnails of all visible files?

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.7 . Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

I tested with several PCs and I think this problem is fixed.

I have closed the histogram panel (in fact, all panels are closed). Perhaps you can skip file decoding if the decoded bitmap is not needed.

so you use XnView's browser only as file's list? In this case, yes it would be good to not load image file

Doing so will cause any long field text truncated and cannot be fully displayed.

i've tried and right, the delay to load this jpeg file is slower than standard jpeg. Loading in other apps is the same.


If only the header is parsed, there should be no difference. I guess not only the header is parsed, but also the jpeg is decoded, and this should not happen if there is no ...

Please consider adding this feature to make the Info panel more usable.

you means that column 0 width should be lesser?

This is the width I set to the panel. You can see the horizontal scroll bar is just a small part of the whole image.

The ExifTool panel is useful to me, there are 2 problems:

1. I guess this is related to Windows Defender. The first time I switch to ExifTool panel, XnView MP takes more than 10 seconds before the exif data is displayed. I restart Windows and in the Windows terminal, I use the embedded exiftool.exe ...
