XnView v2.36 (LIBFORMAT v6.88) 04/29/2016:
* FLIF format added

thanks, it does work nicely.


/edit: what settings are used for encoding? it seems, none, or better, the default?

[CreativeWorld]

With XnViewMP it isn't working. Can you check it?

It doesn't for me using the latest and greatest "full" setup, obviously FLIF isn't included: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... if#p131991

Where/How do I get the famous XnView with the announced libformat that does support FLIF? Thanks for any help, this is really very confusing to a simple user like me

Edit: The other possibility that XnView Classic refuses to cooperate with my flif files is that I've converted them with the latest 0.2 version (https://github.com/FLIF-hub/FLIF/releases), but maybe that's incompatible with the lib inside XnView? Doh.

It seems that XnView relies on libflif.dll for reading and writing the format. For some reason, this file is not included in the downloads for XnView Classic, but it comes with XnView MP. I was hoping that copying the DLL to the Plugins folder of v2.36 would allow me to open business_man_clipped.flif, but that didn't work.
Then Google told me about the following thread:

good news, got it working.

there were warnings when i compiled the x86 without SSE, but it still worked in xnview. however, here's a bunch of compiles (newest code from git)

- x64
- x86 SSE
- x86 SSE2
- x86 SSE3

just throw the libflif.dll into the xnview plugin folder, xnview can now read AND save FLIF files.

wow, although only one test file:

Code: Select all

test.webp   4'356'404
test.png    5'639'434
test.flif   2'874'966

• Cloudinary Blog
  • FLIF, the new lossless image format that outperforms PNG, WebP and BPG » business_man_clipped.flif
• VirusTotal
  • Scan report for FLIF_ca72a18.rar

it seems that flif format has changed, here is the lastest flif dll

[CreativeWorld]

The dll doesn't work.
I'm using x64 version of XNView MP.
I have downloaded the x64 dll also and it doesn't work.
Anything else I need to do?

Sure, just ask good ol' Marsu ... http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... 88#p134792

Thank. It shows some pictures but for all pictures I convert with the current
UGUI_FLIF_0.3.5-win.zip, I get error messages. Again a new file format?

[heimaki]

FLIF in UGUI_FLIF_0.3.5 is completely outdated.

personally, as a total commander user, i would just place a button in the toolbar and use something similar like

-e %P%N %T%O.flif

as parameter. that way you can always use the latest flif.exe
this should work in other file managers too, with some modifications maybe.

or why not use nconvert? it can handle a lot more file formats as input...
something like

nconvert -out flif *.jpg

will convert all .jpg's in the current directory into flif. or you can again use nconvert in total commander such as

-out flif -o %T%O %P%N

nconvert can even do a lot more... check the help.

[CreativeWorld]

Good to know. It's the newest version available on the FLIF website.
So I expected it to be the best version.

flif seems to be completely broken in xnview 2.37

it saves only part of the file. these still work:
