XnView MP has released version 1.10.4 of its cross-platform image viewer, which is designed for viewing, converting, organizing, and editing both graphical and video files. This software is available for free to private users, non-commercial entities, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations. Users appreciate XnView MP for its extensive feature set that rivals many commercial image viewers while supporting over 400 image formats, along with various audio and video formats. It can write in 50 different image formats and offers support for ICC profiles in JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files.
In terms of metadata, XnView MP can display IPTC, Exif, and XMP data and write IPTC metadata, although it lacks the ability to batch edit this metadata, which some users have expressed a desire for. Another limitation is the inability to sort thumbnails by a custom order within folders. The software also includes a powerful search function for files based on filenames or data and can identify similar graphics. Users can view histograms of images and create scripts for batch processing, allowing for the conversion, manipulation, and renaming of multiple images simultaneously.
Additionally, XnView MP includes a variety of image editing tools for color adjustment, size manipulation, filters, and effects, including the features of Harry's Filters 3.0 in the full version. It supports lossless operations for JPEG files, allowing for turning, flipping, and cropping without re-encoding. Users can create advanced slideshows and easily upload images to FTP sites or ImageShack, as well as burn images to CDs or DVDs (using Nero Burning ROM, available in the full version).
For users looking for similar functionalities, there are various resources available, such as guides on restoring Windows Photo Viewer and viewing pictures as slideshows in Windows 10 and 11, as well as customizing the context menu for photo editing.
In summary, XnView MP 1.10.4 is a robust and versatile tool for image handling, catering to a broad audience with its extensive format support and user-friendly features, while still acknowledging areas for potential improvement such as batch editing capabilities and thumbnail sorting options
