In many cases, the MP crashes under Win XP without any apparent reason… That's quite random…but continual !
Just keeping it open, do nothing –> Crash!
Hence, please consider the following points :
1. Some means to save the settings are indispensable to continue the tests, here all is lost at each new start, it's exasperating.
2. A log file is needed for such a version,
3. Testing only in (your) English sucks. But whether you persist in the plan for the "tool" to "translate", I'll resign to help here;
Anyway, after more than 50 crashes, I stop for now.
Despite the "flowers" from others, even a prototype must have minimal features to allow a decent testing, IMHO, sorry…

Right, right and right !

Hello Paul !
…Just keeping it open, do nothing –> Crash!
• I confirm : For instance, just minimize it in the task bar of Win, do nothing, and I get a crash within a certain delay
(seconds, minutes…) and Dear Bill comes and closes.
1. Some means to save the settings are indispensable to continue the tests, …
• Indeed, I support !
2. A log file is needed for such a version,
• Naturally ! I wonder that we have not any log file, it could help a lot!
3. Testing only in (your) English sucks. But whether you persist in the plan for the "tool" to "translate", I'll resign to help here; …
• I agree totally. I swore that I'll never use again the spread-sheet tools and the crappy resulting files !
Anyway, after more than 50 crashes, I stop for now.
• You are bolder than me, I got less, but same, I stop too currently.
Despite the "flowers" from others, even a prototype must have minimal features to allow a decent testing…
• That's obvious !
Friendly,
Claude

With a crystal ball ?

Hello !
• Well, but if we don't report the
worst bugs, how
Pierre can know to improve
a first really usable version, even an Alpha-beta ?
- Using a crystal ball, or testing endlessly by himself ?
• Also, hearing what important features will be set is decisive to lead my behaviour regarding that new XnView…
• My first impression is :
- Good for the design¦look,
- Bad for the using
currently,
-
Horrible about the planned languages¦translation system, that for sure shall make I will not continue here.
Point noted…

Whups... must've missed that line somehow in the eve of excitement ^^'
Anyways, I cannot join into the crash-complaining that much (only had the one mentioned above (and that one was apparently quickly "fixed" for me)), but I've used the "first impression" Alpha for over eight hours in a row now - without any apparent crashes/glitches whatsoever (only shuffling through a few hundred pics and dozens of folders of various sorts, to quickly find files for Indesign).
Also, I was really impressed by the overall speed. Indexing and scanning of large folders only took a few seconds (on a old and lame 4200 hd). Much faster than GraphicConverter, though.
All together that's rather impressive for a first glance release, or so I would say!
So only to report: All's cool at the Mac-front! ^__^

This part has been added just recently. Sorry for some confusion.

I use the system used on almost all program on linux, you can edit the xml file or use the translator.
Does NOT work under: iBook-PPC/OSX10.3.9//crashes immediately upon double-clicking the icon
I've build only a 10.4 version, i'll try to build a 10.3.9
XML=Crap

Hello !
• XML ? Not better… For example,
Sven (Author of Speed Commander) chose that format,
and now he resigns to make his programme multilingual, because he got
ONE fully translated language…
SEE HERE
• From the doc of the "tool" :
…Qt itself contains over 400 strings that will also need to be translated into the languages that you are targeting.…
Good luck !
That's all.

Don't worry. I guess it's not that important, since many people switch to Leopard, anyways. And you've got enough work to do already, not?

Translations in XML can be edited and created easily using a text or XML editor. If needed, a simple tool can be written easily. So in mid-term translation should no longer be an issue...

This is great! Running it on kubuntu 7.10 with kde4.
Good Job

Good Job.
I've tested it with Window$ XP and Ubuntu 7.10.
In despite of one PC not fully working with Linux, XNVIEWMP works in the same way on both systems.
Great. Do continue...

Under Leopard it looks a-okay. Only thing I miss is a possibility to check other filesystems (networks, external discs, etc.).

It doesn't look good on Gnome/XFCE... may look "native" on KDE but looks "alien" here.
Is it a toolkit problem?
Is there way to avoid those huge and ugly fonts/panels/scrollbars/tabs?
