This is the support thread for Xee. All kinds of questions and bugreports can be posted in here. This thread will also be linked from inside the program itself.

There is also a thread about Xee here: http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/kareha.pl/1122405906/
It contains more general discussion, and announcements of new versions and updates.

Just downloaded it on to iMacG5, OS 10.3.8
Program unexpectedly quits each time I try to open an image. What's up?

4 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2005-11-17 13:49 ID:6TsVPKGD [Del]

I've heard about it crashing on 10.3 from elsewhere too, but I have no way to test it... Could you post a crash report from ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Xee.crash.log?

great stuff! just some feature requests:

  • search subfolders
  • slide show option
  • fullscreen/orderless option

thanks a lot

Hello,
It's amost perfect for my needs - thanks !
But I really miss that image browsing can't be done just with "left" and "right".
Why on earth should I hit page up/down ? On my laptop, I need two hands for that !

Regards,

Pierre

Fullscreen support is planned, as and probably also subfolder searching (although that is a bit tricky to do right - you don't want the program to lock up while scanning your entire hard drive if you accidentially open the root). Not sure about slide show.

>>7

Left and right are used for scrolling. For laptops, there is a (sadly undocumented) alternate set of keys for browsing, "," and ".".

Quick bug report: when dragging into the folders drawer a folders that contains a "/" in its name, the "/" is replaced by a ":".

10 Name: Anonymous : 2005-12-01 04:23 ID:yF2vcB01 [Del]

I'd like to request 2 features:

- Last modified date in the statusbar, and an option to view files sorted by modified date
- Print

BTW, I'm the guy who reported problems with the sound notifications on copy/move, but the problem never happened again. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention correctly, sorry about that.

11 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2005-12-01 06:27 ID:TPNWUte8 [Del]

Different sorting methods is something I'd like to implement, but I haven't figured out the best way to do it yet. Ideally it should find the sorting order of the Finder window it was launched from and use that... I'll see what I can come up with.

Printing scares me, because I know just how hard it is to get printing right.

12 Name: Guntis : 2005-12-07 06:33 ID:mkaaC2zW [Del]

I have Sony DSC-W12 camera, and after taking pictures I rotate them in camera to vertical position. for some rason, Xee doesn't understand that and I have to rotate them agian in Xee. (Apple Preview shows all images correctly). Can you do something about it?
Secondly, after rotating JPG image, I want to keep it in that position, so I hit Command+S to save it. Strangely enough, Xee offers me to save JPG image as PNG inage. WHY??? For every image I have to choose JPG again. Can you move hte default format to Preferences, and offer the same format as currently opened image. If I have JPG image, please offer me to safe JPG, if I have PNG, then offer me to save as PNG, OK?

13 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2005-12-07 08:25 ID:TPNWUte8 [Del]

Your camera doesn't actually rotate the images. It just sets the orientation tag, and expects the viewer to rotate the image. Xee doesn't do this, an neither does any web browser I'm aware of. Preview, on the other hand, does. I find this behaviour confusing, since it tricks you into thinking the image will look right everywhere, when it won't.

Second, the rotation in Xee automatically saves the images. You should not save them again. Doing so will only degrade the image quality. The rotation is lossless, but saving images again as JPEG isn't.

All you need to do to rotate your images is to press Command-A. This will read the orientation tag, rotate the image appropriately, and write it to disk.

14 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2005-12-07 08:31 ID:TPNWUte8 [Del]

To expand on that a bit: The Save As command is only used to convert between file formats. That's why it won't pick the current file format, as that would make no sense. There's no reason to use Save As at any other time than when converting formats.

15 Name: Anonymous : 2005-12-07 12:05 ID:OGFm+ZjT [Del]

What if they want to save a copy? The Save As command is commonly used for that.

16 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2005-12-07 13:39 ID:Heaven [Del]

Then you'd be better off using the Copy File command.

One small remark. Today I went through 50+ images in Xee and wanted to sort them (mark useful ones), but... no tools for that. I know, I can switch to Finder and move or copy files or apply color label, but... Can you add color labeling in Xee? For example, press Command+1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 to apply red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink or gray color label.

(Current Command+1, 2, 3 could be assigned to <, > and Current <, > to LeftArrow, RightArrow.)

This way, I could go through the images and apply color labels, according to my taste. It would be good to display color label also over the image, maybe as a color circle somewhere in the corner?

19 Name: Chris : 2006-01-04 23:10 ID:J5/e8M+d [Del]

How can I make Xee default to opening files at 100%?

20 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-01-05 06:11 ID:Heaven [Del]

View -> Automatic Zoom.

21 Name: Retep : 2006-02-18 13:13 ID:qffR15X7 [Del]

Xee is basically excellent, still some bugs.

  • drop .jpg icon on Xee icon sometimes will open, sometimes not
  • rotate: most of the time it says: "JPEG Transform Failed" (a few times it worked correctly)
  • Full screen mode: image is "garbled"; the same happens, when I try to manually resize the picture beyond a certain limit. The limit is slightly over 1800 pixels horizontally. (If I limit the screen size to 1200 X 1800 via system prefs the full screen mode works correctly.)
  • In full screen mode the fit on screen does not work if the original size is bigger than the screen.

(Xee v.1.2.1, PB G4 + 23' screen, OS X 10.4.4)

22 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-02-18 13:57 ID:6TsVPKGD [Del]

> drop .jpg icon on Xee icon sometimes will open, sometimes not

Can't reproduce that. Where are you dropping it? The Dock? Does Console.app list any errors? Does double-clicking on icons with Xee set as the default viewer work all the time?

> rotate: most of the time it says: "JPEG Transform Failed" (a few times it worked correctly)

Actually, are you sure these files you have are JPEGs and not just named such? Could you upload one that fails here?

> Full screen mode: image is "garbled"; the same happens, when I try to manually resize the picture beyond a certain limit. The limit is slightly over 1800 pixels horizontally. (If I limit the screen size to 1200 X 1800 via system prefs the full screen mode works correctly.)

What graphics card does your Mac have? Do other OpenGL programs work in full screen?

> In full screen mode the fit on screen does not work if the original size is bigger than the screen.

What exactly happens?

23 Name: kohlmannj : 2006-02-25 13:20 ID:3mF/TFMH [Del]

Still absolutely loving Xee, but I thought I'd throw in some more feature considerations:

+1 for an option to open in full screen mode by default. Using Xee with iPhoto, for example, is absolutely sublime, except that I usually want to view whatever image I double-click on as large as possible.

A corollary to that – full screen button/bezel-esque controls? That'd be sweet.

Last thing on this laundry list – addition of image movement controls (arrow keys) to the Keyboard preference. I have a Mighty Mouse, so I'd prefer to use the scroll ball to move around the image, for example. I can't do this right now since there aren't any modifiable "scroll image left/right/up/down" keyboard shortcut entries in Xee's prefs, but it seems that it'd be a fairly easy addition.

Thanks once again for your work, Sir Dag. Xee totally r0x0r5.

I can rotate this image fine. Are you sure the file isn't write protected (if you copied it in from a CD or something, it might be, or if you use several user accounts and the wrong one owns the file?)

26 Name: rino : 2006-04-01 15:54 ID:mCJ+nIUI [Del]

Wow. In deed there is something wrong with the permissions: the group was set to 'wheel'.
Although it doesn't make any sense (or am I being dumb? see below for file permissions), changing it to a group I belong to allows me to use the rotate function perfectly.

Is Xee not updated any longer? =/ This software is the BEST image viewer around for OS X. I wished it was updated so the following flaws would be fixed:

I'm trying to open Nikon Raw Format (NEF) files in Xee, but the program only shows a blurry, pixelated, really small picture that more seems like an icon than a picture. Is this a bug, since .NEF seems to be supported in the preferences.

Another question: Why not add the possibility to have autorotate on the pictures. I know you have heard this from a lot of users - and now even from me. =)

Best Regards,
Fredrik, Sweden

28 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-05-24 14:36 ID:6TsVPKGD [Del]

>>27

It would be updated, if I had a bit more spare time... Sadly, I don't at the moment. I'd also like that Intel Mac so I could develop a universal version finally. There'll be more, but it'll take some time.

When opening NEF files, do you get more than one frame? Try to see if the Go -> Next Frame and Go -> Previous Frame options are enabled. There is the possibility that an embedded thumbnail gets loaded as the first frame instead of the full picture.

Autorotate how? JPEGs with orientation data in the EXIF can be autorotated from the menus or the toolbar. Other formats don't support this, however, because I don't have code to losslessly rotate any other formats. This would most likely only apply to camera RAW formats, and I'm not even sure they CAN be losslessly rotated without converting them to a full RGB format, which would make the filesize explode.

If you mean automatically rotate images as they are loaded, I don't want to do that, because it tricks people into thinking their image is rotated that way already, when it isn't. If they then for instance upload it to the net, it would have the wrong orientation.

29 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-05-28 13:50 ID:6TsVPKGD [Del]

>>28

Update: I got a hold of a NEF file, and I notice the same problem. It will be fixed.

30 Name: Fredrik : 2006-06-01 04:32 ID:+lmWL2C/ [Del]

Oh, great! Thank you for your answers! I have also found at strange behavior when trying to step forward to the "next" image in the architecture; sometimes it won't go to the next picture, even though it's there and in the same format and size as the previous images. Any clue about this? =P

The image showed up when trying to load a .NEF picture is certainly the thumbnail, with the size 160 x 120 (from what i can recall). It does not help to step forward and backward. How soon do you think you'll have a fix for this? =)

Best regards,
Fredrik, Sweden

31 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-06-01 08:05 ID:Heaven [Del]

Sorry, can't give any definite date on that. I don't have much spare time at the moment to work on it. It's a quick fix, but there are a million other things I'd like to fix too before making another release.

32 Name: Fredrik : 2006-06-05 03:15 ID:+lmWL2C/ [Del]

We are eager to get our hands on the next release!! =D
Have you got any offers to sell your software yet, its THAT great.
(and if so - please dont) :)

Best regs,

34 Name: Fredrik : 2006-06-16 15:23 ID:+lmWL2C/ [Del]

Really...I'm not sure that you have understood how many users that just loves this software. This is a great app, just fix the .NEF support and let the colors be the same as they are shown in for example Photoshop (the colors in Xee looks strange).

Regs,
Fredrik

Xee crashes on a Macbook when trying to open a file, but if I launch Xee without opening a file, it loads. Seems to be a display issue.

Here's the beginning of a crash report:

>>37

Wow, that crash report seems really broken, or maybe it's just Rosetta being weird. Either way, does this happen for a specific image only, or for any image? Also, sometimes a crash can mess up QuickTime to the point that it will crash several times on launch afterwards, but then start working again later.

So, is this reproducible?

39 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-07-11 19:12 ID:Heaven [Del]

>>32

Actually, I had a look at the code just now and tried to get it to load a NEF file, and I discovered something weird: Various other OS X programs that use the standard image loading ALSO fail to load it! Preview, however, works. This is very mysterious.

40 Name: jaime : 2006-07-24 18:36 ID:PW2mazgZ [Del]

i really like this program, so much better then 'preview' for picture viewing. but i have one concern:

i can't rotate any pictures. how do i fix this or is it a bug?
(i checked the permissions and i can read and write)

thanks for your help

41 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-07-25 04:42 ID:oIXC9fQP [Del]

You can only rotate JPEG pictures, as it stands now.

42 Name: chumsdock : 2006-08-01 19:56 ID:WTWSoyLS [Del]

I'm using 2.0Alpha Universal.
It's so fast and I love surfing using arrow keys.
But the colors seems different from Preview
and when the picture is scaled down to fit, it has much more rough edges.
Is it possible to leave a option? I know it may take more time and resource.
If for fast surfing and exact viewing, a "re-Render" shortcut may be perfect.

I love Xee, it's a fantastic picture viewing program. I do have one feature request though...

Zoom Lock - Once a zoom level is set, the ability to lock it so that the zoom level is the same until you change it yourself or turn off the feature.

Xee is excellent, but I just have one request. I'd like to be able to scroll large images using a scrollwheel/scrollball. Right now, it changes the image. Could you make the scrollwheel behaviour customizable?

49 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-08-20 19:20 ID:Heaven [Del]

I'll consider it.

Could you add a toggle for cursor visibility in fullscreen? I just throw it in the corner and use the keyboard, anyway.

51 Name: stupidor : 2006-08-22 09:14 ID:SVICUug1 [Del]

>>28

I understand that you don't like autorotation because it could cause confusion. however i've got many pictuers (jpg) that aren't "really" rotated but i want to see them correctly anyway without having to manualy change everything. this could be a hidden option for people knowing what they're doing : )

otherwise it's a superb app

Hi,
really great program.
As an former Windowsian I still miss some features the Win-version of i.e. ACDSee has. This is for example "batch processing" of turninge Photos. means, that you can mark multiple photos in an overview of the folder content and then turn them all with just one klick.
Or batch renaming of filenames with the possibility to use exif-information as well as free text (wildcards for numbering etc. welcome...).
If this features would be in I would fall on my knees for you and your proggie.

Cheers Pafu

just noticed that keyboard navigation works in the prefpanel.
But i cant remap most of the keyboard shortcuts due lack of mouse drag and drop

Do you have any haxies or similar installed?

71 Name: Anonymous : 2006-12-22 16:19 ID:lDAfvn2z [Del]

>>70
I dont really know what you mean with haxies, but i don't have anything that would mess with open windows/expose/dock.
Maybe its because im running a german version of osx.
I now know exactly what i have to do to open the prefpanel:

  1. Have some other program open
  2. Start Xee and cancel the open image window
  3. click on Xee -> Preferences (nothing happens)
  4. click/activate another open program
  5. click Xee on the dock. Now the Preferences window comes up.

The problem is just that i cant use the mouse. Xee even wont get the active program when i click on the open preferences window. The caption buttons of the preferences window wont works also (i have to restart xee to close the preferences window), but i still can drag the window by the titlebar.

I hope i could help a bit.

Do you get the same messages in Console.app as >>56, too?

73 Name: Anonymous : 2006-12-23 05:30 ID:lDAfvn2z [Del]

>>72
Im getting this in console.log:

2006-12-23 14:26:21.780 Xee[2114] *** -[%NSWindow constrainFrameRect:toScreen:]: selector not recognized [self = 0x35fab0]

and this when i close xee by cmd+q with the prefpanel open:

"%NSWindow" is definitely not something that should be there. The window is just a plain "NSWindow". I suspect there is some third-party app or hack that is interfering with things.

76 Name: Anonymous : 2006-12-23 14:33 ID:lDAfvn2z [Del]

Geez, why didnt i think of it before...
It was "simbl" in combination with "megazoom" (it allows to really maximize windows). I totally forgot about it.
Removed it and Xee works without problems now!
Im sorry if i wasted your time finding a bug that isnt there.
Anyway thanks!

77 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2006-12-23 14:54 ID:Heaven [Del]

You may want to report the bug to whoever made megazoom, though. That way some good may come of it.

Congratulations to this awesome program.
I believe in xee and I'm confident you'll be able to finally create an app that can rival Windows' IrfanView. Actually IrfanView is the only thing I miss from being a windows user. Xee is getting PRETTY close already tho.

Keep up the amazing work!

79 Name: Anonymous : 2007-01-23 01:33 ID:zY+hcONV [Del]

the old version 1.21 kept the settings for an image once applied (i.e. rotating 90 degree, jpeg), I assume by writing the exiftags. This is no longer possible with 2.0 beta 2.
I hope I didn't miss some obvious settings...

80 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-01-23 04:03 ID:TPNWUte8 [Del]

>>79

It did it by losslessly rotating the image data itself. 2.0 does it too but you have to pick "Save Losslessly..." after rotating, or press Command-S.

I've been thinking of adding an option to do this automatically, but I've not decided yet if that's a good idea or not.

Well, it seems that after I upgraded to Xee 2.0 final and The Unarchiver 1.4, I cannot view images inside .zip archives anymore.

Previous archives that worked with Xee 2.0Beta2 and The Unarchiver 1.3 simply display "Couldn't display file xxxx.zip" in the statusbar.

Any ideas? Thanks!

82 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-01-29 19:15 ID:Heaven [Del]

>>81

Not sure, I've had a similar problem but it went away by itself. If you put the old The Unarchiver in the trash, try emptying it.

Hello,

CONGRATULATIONS for the new verson! Thank you for keepin' it free, how nice of you :)
Also thank you for that loop option. Hopefully, new verson of Xee will scan subfolders too and you won't think of dumb pople who drag root folder on the icon, he he he :) Rest of us could use that option, thank you :) :) :)

I have Unarchiver installed too and Xee reads .cbz and .cbr archives without problem. Great idea! I have a lot of scanned comics and it would be helpfull if Xee could remember zoom of a previous image.

Xee works even faster than before, on my PPC machine. You probably had a lot of work with this version but it came out just great! Best regards!

84 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-01-30 09:24 ID:Heaven [Del]

>>83

Check the View -> Automatic Zoom menu, there is an option to remember the zoom level. (Although the "shrink to fit" option overrides it, so remember to disable that.)

85 Name: Bruce Campbell : 2007-01-30 12:13 ID:P5s6DgHT [Del]

Hey, it works!

You're the man!

86 Name: MacNerd : 2007-02-02 19:08 ID:Bsghzd8l [Del]

None of the antialiasing options shows in higher zoom modes any differences.
The image looks always not atialiased.
(G5, 10.4.8, NVidia 6600 w/256MB)

87 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-02-03 04:55 ID:Heaven [Del]

Does "higher zoom modes" mean scaling the image up? Antialiasing is only used when scaling the image down.

88 Name: MacNerd : 2007-02-03 08:48 ID:Bsghzd8l [Del]

That is sad.
I would need antialiasing mainly on upscaling,
and in high quality (no visible jaggies).
Maybe in the next version?

89 Name: MacNerd : 2007-02-03 08:51 ID:Bsghzd8l [Del]

By the way, it would be nice, if XEE could work on nested folders as well.

90 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-02-03 10:02 ID:Heaven [Del]

Generally I don't think upscaling is ever a good idea. No matter how you do it, it will look ugly. The only times I want to actually scale up an image is when I want to look at the pixels, and if the image is smoothed this is impossible, which is why I haven't bothered implementing it. I might do it in the future, but it is not a priority.

Could you add information to the crop selection telling you what size the cropped size will be ?

You could just add the x & y sizes to the lower right corner of the crop tool ? or put some info in the bottom.

This would make xee even cooler

93 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-02-03 19:12 ID:Heaven [Del]

This is probably a good idea, in one form or another.

Problem with Version Tracker. StuffeIt does not start up after installing XSee 2 (Se picture)
Pleas fix it !!

95 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-02-08 11:49 ID:Heaven [Del]

>>94

That is OS X picking Xee to open archives instead of some other program. You have to fix it yourself by choosing Get Info on an archive file, picking the right program, and then clicking "Change All". Or you can use RCDefaultApp to change which program opens archives.

96 Name: Anonymous : 2007-02-08 19:54 ID:gdh7WP81 [Del]

The default sort order preference doesn't work for me. No matter what I change it to it always sorts by filename.

97 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-02-08 20:24 ID:Heaven [Del]

>>96

Looks like that is broken, yes. Thanks.

98 Name: Gorm : 2007-02-08 22:04 ID:oAkCiAhJ [Del]

Not true. When i doubleclick on a .zip file, then stuffit opens. So ther must be some thing wrong in the installation of XSee 2. Un-installing it solves the problem.

99 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2007-02-10 11:33 ID:Heaven [Del]

>>98

No, Xee only tells OS X that it can open zip files. OS X itself chooses which program of those that say they can open them that actually opens it. You have to tell OS X which app you want to use by following the instructions in >>95. There is really nothing that can be done to change that.

100 Name: Gorm : 2007-02-14 09:28 ID:ie73A1tJ [Del]

But why does XSee try to open Zip files, when launched from VersionTracker ???
As I wrote before: Double Clikc on a .ZIP file it opens with StuffIt and NOT XSee.
Conclusion: Remove the unarchiver support in XSee.

Try it your selve, DL Version Tracker.
