1.8.0 - Doesn't open OS/2 BMP format; File can't be loaded.

Post by kinglygizzard »

XnView: MP 1.8.0 64 bit
OS: Windows 11 64bit

Version 1.8.0 cannot open OS/2 BMP files. It shows the error message : "File can't be loaded!". It opens Windows BMP files fine.

The example BMP file was saved from Photoshop using the BMP saving dialogue to switch to OS/2 format.

This is a new bug in 1.8.0 as version 1.7.2 opened OS/2 BMPs fine.
