Fair use rationale for Image:Xnview.jpg
Image:Xnview.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Ambiguous statement
I quote>

Not yet common among imaging software is lossless (without new encoding) turning, flipping and cropping of JPEG files

This does not say that this program is capable of lossless manipulation. I suggest clarifying this. I don't know enough myself about either this program or imaging. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.198.138.241 (talk) 19:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)


 * XnView is indeed capable of lossless JPEG rotation and cropping. What is dubious here is the claim that this feature is "not yet common among imaging software" - IIRC ACDSee had lossless rotation in version 2.42, more than ten years ago. GregorB (talk) 14:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I was correct, it's not uncommon at all. I'll update the text accordingly. GregorB (talk) 14:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Is XnView an image organizer?
XnView is an image viewer indeed, but I wonder whether XnView is an image organizer. XnView can organize images (which does this job much better than Windows Explorer, but it appears that it has no album or collection feature, which is mentioned in the definition of an image viewer in Wikipedia.--RekishiEJ 17:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

In the desciption, it simply says: "XnView is a multi-platform software used for viewing, converting, organising and manipulating graphic & video files" and in the website it's pretty much the same: "XnView (v1.91.4/1.70) is an efficient multimedia viewer, browser and converter." Means that it is an image organizer as well as viewer, converter and so on. It has very similar features which many other organizing programs have, lack of an album or collection feature does not mean it is not an image organizer, as long as it can do it's job and effectively without major flaws/problems, it'll be called that.--Playtom 04:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * XnView has categories which behave much like e.g. Wikipedia categories: apparently, you can create a hierarchy tree, and then put a given image into one or more categories. So I'd say that it would qualify as an image organizer. GregorB (talk) 14:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

XnView on other pages' external links
I see a link to this page in the articles for Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, and Imagine (and possibly others, haven't checked.) I think these should be removed; the links make it seem that Wikipedia is endorsing XnView. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.84.183.194 (talk) 04:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Stub?
Does this article still merit being called a stub? Jaqian (talk) 22:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, since information about XnView MP and reception is still imcomplete. All articles which are short to an extent or incomplete are stubs. --RekishiEJ (talk) 13:55, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Irfanview histogram note
Regarding "In addition, the display of the histogram of a picture is possible (IrfanView does not have this function)" under "Features":

Irfanview does have a histogram function. It has been there for some time actually.

http://www.irfanview.com/history_old.htm

Version 4.10 (Release date: 2007-10-15)

- Histogram feature added (Menu: Image, Hotkey: SHIFT+H)

BTW, it is weird that another program is mentioned in the article only in the context of not having some specific feature. It would be fairer to note the competition first, only then refer to such details. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.173.193.210 (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Cloning of Irfanview features and dialogs
The author of Irfanview says on his website [] that " XnView has been stealing/cloning features and whole dialogs from IrfanView, for 10+ years". Is this something to note in the article? Springnuts (talk) 08:39, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If you don't even give a link to it, then inclusion is very unlikely. SF007 (talk) 09:33, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * [] is the link Springnuts (talk) 13:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Even if that is true and XnView inspires itself or even "copies"/"clones" features or the interface of irfanview, that does not make it ilegall or something like that. Many projects copy/clone other projects (wine trying to create a clone windows?). Not even mentioning the fact that the irfanview developer can say whatever he wants. In my opinion I think we should treat this with caution... are there any more sites claiming this? what is exactly said to be "copied"?. I'm OK if someone want to put that info on the irfanview article, but I'm not sure if this should be in this article... SF007 (talk) 16:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

About the release date of XnView 1.98.8 for Windows
According to the official site, it was release on February 28, 2012. But by using XnView 1.98.8 for Windows' "about" function, I know that the software says the release date is March 9, 2012. And says that the release date is February 24, 2012. Which one is correct and should be used on the article? (I used release date on XnView's about dialog)--RekishiEJ (talk) 14:48, 12 March 2012 (UTC) 15:01, 12 March 2012 (UTC) fixed
