A pocket-sized version of XnViewXnView Portable is, put simply, a file explorer that has been especially adapted for image files and developed to be run from a USB key.XnView Portable features the same design and tools as older brother XnView, which makes it a really convenient photo editor that can be carried with you anywhere. It has support for a few hundred graphic formats as well as other media files, such as AVI and MP3.The interface in XnView Portable is divided into two sections: the left pane shows the folder structure, while the right one is where the contents of the selected folder are displayed. A double click on any image is enough to open it in full screen and work on it with the program's own tools. XnView Portable is obviously no Photoshop, but you'll be able to do some cropping and resizing, adjust brightness, correct red eyes and other basic editing and retouching tasks.If XnView is your favorite image viewer, you can now take it anywhere with you thanks to XnView Portable.PROSA great photo viewer you can carry aroundSupport for hundreds of formatsProgram available in other languagesUnduh XnView Portable [ID]ダウンロードXnView Portable [JA]XnView Portable 다운로드 [KO]Pobierz XnView Portable [PL]Scarica XnView Portable [IT]Ladda ner XnView Portable [SV]Скачать XnView Portable [RU]Descargar XnView Portable [ES]تنزيل XnView Portable [AR]Download do XnView Portable [PT]XnView Portable indir [TR]ดาวน์โหลด XnView Portable [TH]XnView Portable herunterladen [DE]下载XnView Portable [ZH]Tải xuống XnView Portable [VI]Télécharger XnView Portable [FR]Alternatives to XnView PortableExplore MoreLatest articlesLaws concerning the use of this software vary from country to country.

XnView MP however is not installable because the installer refuses to start on ARM CPUs, but this could be changed I think as the software works just fine as is with the emulation. I used the portable install and that works fine.If you can compile for ARM that'd be even better of course, but at least making the installer not complain would be a small step which already helps users keep moving forward.Thanks!

However they do not get cleaned properly and stay there some times.Also noted some mysterious lock files from XnViewMP in that folder which never get deleted. xnview Author of XnView Posts: 45561 Joined: Mon Oct 13, 2003 7:31 am Location: France Contact: Re: Temp folder issues Post by xnview » Wed Oct 26, 2016 8:29 am i don't use temp folder, perhaps it's ffmpeg if you use it Pierre. jadO Posts: 490 Joined: Wed Apr 29, 2015 6:36 am Re: Temp folder issues Post by jadO » Wed Oct 26, 2016 10:47 am xnview wrote:i don't use temp folder, perhaps it's ffmpeg if you use itI don't think that is correct. In my temp folder I see:qtsingleapp-xnview-e789-1-lockfile what ever this meansanda lot of files like "xnview_E14008.png" which are the single thumbnail images.FFMPEG is not installed and portables as well, so using the system temp folders is bad. But even more worse is that the items do not get cleaned from the temp folder. xnview Author of XnView Posts: 45561 Joined: Mon Oct 13, 2003 7:31 am Location: France Contact: Re: Temp folder issues Post by xnview » Wed Oct 26, 2016 12:10 pm jadO wrote:qtsingleapp-xnview-e789-1-lockfile what ever this meansFrom QT api, so i can't change thata lot of files like "xnview_E14008.png" which are the single thumbnail images.ok, created by ffmpeg, should be deleted by QT api Pierre. jadO Posts: 490 Joined: Wed Apr 29, 2015 6:36 am Re: Temp folder issues Post by

XnView MP however is not installable because the installer refuses to start on ARM CPUs, but this could be changed I think as the software works just fine as is with the emulation. I used the portable install and that works fine.If you can compile for ARM that'd be even better of course, but at least making the installer not complain would be a small step which already helps users keep moving forward.Thanks!

I just think removing the architecture check in the installer would be the cheapest way to make it "compatible" right now because it does run fine in emulation mode. xnview Author of XnView Posts: 45490 Joined: Mon Oct 13, 2003 7:31 am Location: France Contact: Re: Windows ARM / Aarch64 support Post by xnview » Wed Jul 17, 2024 2:48 pm Seldaek wrote: Fri Jul 12, 2024 2:31 pmNot sure if this is a request for someone to send you one No But anyway totally fair if you don't want to work on this.

Not really, not on my Surface 11. I've to look for alternatives.
