you start XnViewMP with a bmp file, and you have no view?

I discovered strange behaviour.
On my desktop machine *.BMP files opened and display through Viewer
On my laptop not.
I have no idea why. My desktop and laptop have same OS (Win10 21H2 19044.3324 LTSC, updates and even XnViewMP (1.5.3). I use portable version with same config and all other files in directory on both machines.

In Windows Explorer I click on *.bmp file to open it and view in XnViewMP
On my desktop PC: I see content of file
On my laptop: I see blank XnViewMP window
Same OS, same XnViewMP versions (same config files) but different physical machines.

What do you mean? .bmp associated with XnViewMP
Which registry entry should be checked?

Code: Select all

You can use
FileTypesMan.
