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.
What happens on a technical level if I choose "JPEG, without recompressing"?
And is my imagination of cutting along MCU block lines possible?
And if, could you imagine adopting your GUI, so that the cropping grid only allows cutting along the MCU block lines?
"JPEG, without recompressing" is just does the same lossless JPEG transforms as most lossless JPEG editing tools, transforming and reordering MCUs, and dropping those that are cropped out.
There's an option of whether to expand or contract the cropping area so it matches MCU borders. I did want it to be possible to see directly in the GUI how that would work, but I never figured out what the proper way to implement it would be, so I never got it done.
I have a suggestion of how to implement it in the GUI:
A) If one moves the crop frame normally, MCU lines are ignored.
B) If you move the crop frame with the ALT key pressed, the crop frame always snaps to the nearest MCU block line/edge.
Will you implement this? Would be great!
The lossless crop process as I imagine it, in detail:
1) Already the initial point shall be set directly at a MCU edge point. To achieve this already within the first step, the user holds down the ALT key and moves the mouse around without a mouse-button pressed until the cursor points at the desired snapping point. Note: The mouse movements do not drag a frame yet, they only set the initial point!
2) Then the user press-and-holds a mouse-button and remains holding the ALT key and moves the cursor to determine the second edge point and hence already determines the complete crop frame.
3) Possibly continue to move the other edges/lines until the cropping frame is completed as desired.
4) Possibly move the whole frame along the MCU-raster by holding the ALT key and click-and-holding the mouse cursor within the frame square, followed by moving the mouse and hence the frame around, until the mouse button is released.
Note: If setting the initial edge on the raster (1) cannot be realised, it is also possible to simply start the initial edge on an arbitrary point (likely no MCU edge), set the other snapped edge(s)/line(s) first (2) and in the last step correct the initial arbitrary point to a MCU edge!
I also have the same problem as #279. I like this program, but the problem is really annoying.
Dear Developer: What do you think about my suggestion?
i uploaded the files correctly, changed the permissions, and edited the config.pl file, yet when i acess it from my browser, it tells me that it cannot connect to the mysql server. please help :(
How to set destination folders in version 2.1.1?
I didn't found anything in menu that could do that.
Also menu items "File->Copy File" and "File->Move File"
are gray, even though image file is opened.
is it a bug or I am missing something?
I need to cut a small part of an image. I don't know how, because the menu item edit > cut ist grey.

Multi-Touch support？i love in it
Please add the option to use an image as a wallpaper from inside xee.
Hi,
when I browse through pics with Xee, all of them appear washed out (colors look faded). If you open the same pic in Xee & Preview and compare the two, the difference is quite apparent.
Is there a way to make Xee display the pic in normal colors?? Otherwise it's pretty much useless for me.....
Great app! Just discovered it.
2 features would make it perfect for me. A thumbnail view and a tree view of my hard drive contents so I could navigate and click any folder and it would open that folder. Accessing it off the Open menu item is more cumbersome. One I selected a folder it would start showing thumbnails which I could scroll through (assuming enough) and then click one to view that image and then from that image continue forward or backward via your slide show functionality. Esc would take me back to the thumbnails. Perhaps for performance considerations, consider caching the thumbnailed images.
One other feature, right click on an image for a context menu with editor options and rotate options.

Color profile support is hard to do in OpenGL. Here are two posts from the developer on the topic:

What I did: Cropping with ctrl k, make selection, enter, save as, using the same file name, jpeg without recompression, replace.
What happens: When I'm in windowed mode, it sometimes switches to full screen mode. When I'm in full screen mode, it sometimes switches to windowed mode. Also, sometimes the program crashes. I hit relaunch, and I see the file was properly cropped before the crash.
Xee version 2.1.1 on OS X 10.5.
I can't open my iPhotos in this? How do I navigate to the folder with iPhotos in it? I can navigate to the iPhoto app but it's greyed out, and so I can't right-click to get to package contents & view the photos. It must be something simple I am overlooking. Can you help? thanks!
I create IPTC metadata in Lightroomn 2 anc check to see if it can be read outside LR by using Xee. (Yes, I AM paranoid). Everything is there EXCEPT "Date Created" under the "Image" subheading of IPTC. This is important since I have about 10k scanned images, and the EXIF data shown is the date scanned, not the date the photo was taken.
Xee version 2.1.1 on OS X 10.6.4
Sounds like a straightforward bug. File an issue on the bug tracker, and include an image that shows the problem, and I'll try to get around to fixing it.
i would like to report a bug
MAC OS 10.5.8 - Xee 2.1.1
after a mirror horizontal operation and file saving
a thin strip appears on the right side of the picture

That is normal behaviour. It is a consequence of how JPEG works. The only way to get rid of it is to crop away a bit more than than that strip. You can tell Xee to do this by using "Save as..." with "JPEG (without recompressing)".
OK thx, that's what i've done !
sorry for the inconvenience ;)
soon

Why do certain GIF and PNG images have this white background with gray "squares," while Preview, for example, will display the same image nicely without this white background?
>>315
The squares are there to indicate to you that it's transparent and not just an image that has a white background.
Can someone tell me how can I disable that when I touch the scroll button on my mouse, it will either move to the next or previous pics?
It's really annoying so I'd like to completely disable the middle mouse button in Xee.
MAC OS X 10.6.8 with Xee 2.2:
Feature request: "Crop & Save current view"
Use case: Picture is viewed in Fullscreen mode, Trackpad is used to zoom to important area of the picture, keyboard shortcut is pressed which will crop the picture as it is seen on the screen (without the need to define a crop selection!), picture is automatically saved to the same filename without recompression. Let me know what I should donate, I really need this feature.
Is it possible to use Lightroom 3 as an editor from Xee? When I click on "open in editor" Lightroom doesn't appear in the list of available editors?
I think it would be a good idea to use for a image browsing Lion's features like "swipe between pages" for magic mouse and trackpad, otherwise, work with these devices in Xee is not usefull.
Two questions:
I run on 10.7.2. and
a) I cant get the multigestures to run (why?)
b) I since 2.2. I cant close a Fulscreenwindows with the ESC button, thats really annoying. Anybody can help?
Thank you very much!

Hello,
I cannot tell if a jpeg is 'progressive' or 'baseline' from the 'image info', do I look for the wrong place or Xee does not have this function? If Xee lacks this function, could you consider to add this function?
Thank you!
I loooooove xee! Perfect replacement of ACDSee for me. No database, no import export, just browsing my holiday snapshots folders. I love it.
Any plans to include small movie clips in slideshow?
rock on pls!
I just want to tell you how much I love Xee. It's the best picture viewer I've ever used - and I've used picture viewers on nearly 25 different operating systems.
It's also great to be able to open Amiga IFF images! (pity I have to add .IFF extensions to filenames to view them, but I can't expect this to work like an Amiga program and parse the first few bytes of the file for the filetype regardless of extension.... )
Lion broke preview, about which I have grumbled at Apple. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3472948
Xee fixed it — thank you.
It will actually read them even if they have the wrong name if you drop them on the icon. But scanning the file contents of every file in a directory would be too annoyingly slow, so you can't browse a directory of files unless they have the right extensions.
Ah, you're right! Awesome. That'll come in handy because I've got thousands of Amiga images with useful self-made extensions I don't want to change.
I love your Unarchiver program too. Thanks very much!
Anyway of adding a rating/label/file lock to this so you can somehow mark images?
Unfortunately, I cannot use Xee on Lion 10.7.2 (MBP early 2011) as it regularly causes kernel panic in video card driver.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Repeat steps 3-4 until kernel panic on step 4. It seems that large TIFF images (16 Mpix, 16 bits/channel) are more likely to reproduce this issue.
Configuration:
Model: MacBookPro8,1, BootROM MBP81.0047.B1E, 2 processors, Intel Core i7, 2.7 GHz, 8 GB, SMC 1.68f96
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000, Intel HD Graphics 3000, Built-In, 512 MB
Does library open any of Adobe illustrator, PSD or InDesign file formats?
I love the Xee app, just one annoying bug. I run Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 and just downloaded the Xee app.
Now to the bug. I can´t set Xee to be the default app for images, I know the procedure for making an app a default one for specific filetypes. It just won't stuck as a default app for images.
Please help, otherwise a great app.
