Image Manager Shootout / Re: Xnview vs. IrfanView - integrity issue examined
« on: January 28, 2017, 09:43 AM »... (for example: XnView has been stealing/cloning features and whole dialogs from IrfanView, for 7+ years).-Steven Avery (April 23, 2008, 09:29 AM)
One thing XnView did not steal is the full Unicode support. XnView is wonderful in many ways, but I find it embarrassing how many file name characters it cannot handle. Characters that Microsoft and IrfanView will handle without any problems. Just one example: "ما ذكرفرحتن حتى من by _ ♥ ~ β@ЯβŸÄĦ ~ ♥ _.jpg" will not open in XnView. If I try to remove the problem-causing characters, one by one, I'll have to shorten the name to "by_@_.jpg"!!! >Western Only< may not be a problem to Americans etcetera, but to me it has been a problem a little too often.

By now, version MP of XnWiev has unicode support.
