hi there, thanks for your great software.
but it was really disappointing to see after so many years, xnview still has problem on opening none-English file names!
it's the only problem which prevents me from setting it as default image viewer.

a filename like this one:
سوریه.jpg

TO have a full unicode support, you need to use XnView MP

Hi, I've just updated to version 2.42 after quite a long gap without updating, and I've run into a problem with the file associations.
I'm still using Windows XP on two of my machines, and on both of them after the update when I double click on an image file XnView opens with its browser displayed instead of the image as it did before. This does not happen on my Windows 8.1 machine so I assume it's an OS related problem.
If I untick "Launch Browser at Startup" in the XnView settings, it then just opens with a blank page if I double click an image.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks, Dave.
:)

Where can I read more about "Basic support for unicode filename" announced in v2.41? Is latin-1 supported in filenames? Thanks!

Thanks a lot. It looks like Latin-1 is partially supported. Do you happen to know why "Français" is processed correctly, but "Ceština" is not? Just curious.
