JPEG Lossless Transformations not available when launch XnView MP with a file in the command line

Post by exener »

Typically, I launch XnView MP by double-clicking on an image file. When I do this, "JPEG Lossless Transformations" are not available (the menuitem is dimmed). Performing a rotate then renders a lossy image.

If, instead, I launch XnView MP without any file specified, then search for the file within XnView, then open the desired file, "JPEG Lossless Transformations" will be available.

I performed extensive testing, and can reproduce this issue 100% of the time.

If I launch xnviewmp.exe from a command prompt, it always works.

If I launch xnviewmp.exe "image.jpg" from a command prompt, the issue always happens.

The location of the image file matters not. I have even tried moving images into XnViewMP's executable folder, and it still does not work.

I also created a file type association to launch xnviewmp.exe with .jpg files, and the same issue is present. Specifically, I assigned the command "C:\testing\xnviewmp.exe" "%1".

I performed all testing using XnView MP 0.98.4 64-bit portable on Win7 64-bit.

Thanks for your reply Pierre.

I tried waiting a couple minutes, but it never becomes available.
