Empty XnView after start (1.70 on MacOSX)

XnView 1.70 @ MacOSX

Hi,

first of, thank you for the new Version. It's way more stable and even faster than 1.68! *bow*

But, well, I have only one complain :
Whenever I launch Xnview, it launches X11 (as it should), but then nothing happens; there is only the empty Xnview about (view-)option available (basically, it doesn't launch).
Only if I start X11 beforehand, and then Xnview, it works fine (and the whole program is available).

Nothing serious, though, just a small inconvenience.

I am using a MacMini with OSX10.4.2 including all patches, and ATI4.5.5 display drivers.

Greetz!

Empty XnView?? You means the menu bar?

Empty XnView?? You means the menu bar?

Yes. Sorry. Should have explained that in more detail.

There is only the OSX-xnview menu bar, with the "about" option.

If I start X11 beforehand, xnview launches, but there is no osx-menu bar available (sorry, totally forgotten to add that).

Here are two screens (hope they're not too large):

Launched with xnview-icon (active in taskbar):



Second one launched after x11 (no active xnviw-icon in taskbar):




Hope that helps.

Perhaps a problem with OS 10.4...

'kay. I'll try it with Panther later, and let you know the results.

[Schattenreiter]

Doesn't launch in Panther at all.

[xnview]

Doesn't launch in Panther at all.

Even with the new zip file?

Even with the new zip file?

Okay, I've checked again with the new zip-file (sorry for my lack of speed, but I don't like to reboot my machine );

OSX10.3.9: Launches Xnview, but only in pure X11-Unix mode - xnview-icon quits right after the launch of X11. No OSX-xnview menu bar.

OSX10.4.2: No change at all.

Otherwise everything else works just fine.

When I'm running it from Icon it just dissapears immidiately.
I've tried to run it from xterm:
that message what I've got:
-------------------------------------
iplush:/Applications/XnView.app/Contents/MacOS plush$ ./XnView
21:22: syntax error: No user interaction allowed. (-1713)
plush has no X11 DISPLAY open
-------------------------------------------
using XnView many years for windoze, now trying to switch to mac.

I've not been able to get it to run from x11 terminal at all. Instead I did "show contents" on the package, then extracted the folders to the desktop. Running the xnview program from within the macosx folder made it work straight away.
There's evidently some problem with the way it's packaged up.

Do you have X11 server?

Do you have X11 server?

probably yes because other X11 applications are running well.
and when I've tried to install X11 from the link on XnView donload page
I've got message that I have newer version of X11 installed.
How can I chek exactly ? I'm newbie dummy with mac unfortunately

Could you try from a shell console, XnView.app/Contents/MacOS/XnView

I won't say that you are running X11 server just because other X11 apps are running well

But if you are running OS X 10.4, then the download link will NOT work, because the X11 version that is downloadable from Apple's site works only with 10.3.x

You have to install X11 for Tiger (10.4) from your Tiger Installation Disk then (Can be found, if you select "Install Bundled Software only" and hit "Command + R", that will open the folder with the software packages. There you just doubleclick "X11User"). But this would just reinstall the X11 version you already HAVE installed - and that one's NEWER than the one found following the download link...
