[XnView 2.40] Error displaying ppm file

[Aryetis]

Hello,

Working on a (basic) raytracer I output my files as .ppm
And for some reason I can open them perfectly using software such as gimp. But when it comes to XnView, depending of the scene/file generated it displays garbage data.

Here's an example of a faulty ppm : https://hijackedbrain.com/data/firstSphere.ppm

Using XnView 2.40, on Windows 10_X64

your ppm data contains float values not integer

Yes my apologies.
I noticed it earlier this morning. I suppose this is not standard behavior and thus should not be encouraged / implemented.
Why gimp allows it is .... debatable.
