For a friend I needed / tried to change the default file association with 'jpg':
Hmmm.. why does it not let me pick d:programirfanview.exe as default program for jpg's in windows 8? (ps I changed all 4 occurences of 'jpg' in the list with associated action 'open')
update: I begin to assume that it has to do with Irfanview itself and Windows 8

Right click on a file type you want to associate with Irfanview.From the menu that appears chose open with.In the list of programs that appear choose Irfanviw.Make sure the little tick box at the top of the page is ticked (it says always open this type of file with this program) then finish.
It has to be done for every file type.

I have read a lot about UAC but I set it to the lowest and it didn't help. So please don't even mention it.
When opening almost any program, even ones signed by Microsoft (IE 9, task manager) or by another corporation (Roblox, IrfanView, BOINC), Windows opens a window asking if I want to open the program. This is the layout:
Open file - Security Warning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----Do you want to open this file?
------------------Name: C:UsersAdministratorDesktopInternet Explorer.Ink
------------------Publisher: Unknown Publisher
------------------Type: Shortcut
------------------From: C:UsersAdministratorDesktopInternet Explorer.Ink
-------------------------------------------------[Open]----[Cancel]---------------------------
While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially
harm your computer. if you do not trust the source, do not open the
software. [What's the risk?]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has only happened recently and I have had the problem before and it has sort of worn off after a few weeks (a few weeks of praying that I could open programs without hassel). My mum also got it when she had Vista, then the computer got a virus that corrupted dll32.exe so lots of things stopped working.

Incompatible with Vista?[edit]
I have Windows Vista on my new laptop and have been unable to install IrfanView. The error messages I have been receiving seem to indicate the latest version is not yet compatible with Vista. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about software and Vista can add to the article about IrfanView and Vista. 4.232.201.205 00:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
software ok?[edit]
My only question is, who's to stop individual programmers from including whatever hacks they want inside of an executable file? Should we trust software from personal developers (esp. international software?)? Is there any check or balance whatsoever on this type of thing? (replies would be appreciated) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.159.107.253 (talk) 02:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC).
yes i agree,irfanview is a great little program,for the huge number of formats supported and for it s speed,no loading times like in photoshop etc,so when you want to convert an image,or to view it very fast.there is nothing better.and regarding it s reliability i will quote ken rockwell on this one :'IrfanView's claim to fame is its huge base of formats it can decode. It can't run on Apple, but even with that it was a popular program when I worked in Hollywood for opening specialized motion picture film industry image file formats.'http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/sw.htm#visinf—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.79.239.175 (talk • contribs) 12:06, May 11, 2007 (UTC)
Frag out ncs. A frag grenade is a sphere shaped grenade and a pineapple grenade is narrow but some what wide, but there is no difference in explosions. I mean, one might go farther when you throw it but who knows. “Frag out” means a fragmentation grenade is outbound. It is the perferred voice-alert for a thrown fragmentation grenade by US troops. For enemy grenades inbound, the voice-alert is simply “grenade”. Bare in mind that I've only spoke of the Americ.
Freeware? Really?[edit]
If this is freeware then why do I have to choose a payment plan before downloading the program? tildetildetildetilde —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.114.183.173 (talk • contribs) 07:12, July 2, 2007 (UTC)

CMYK jpgs[edit]
The streams embedded in pdfs are sometimes jpgs (/DCTDecode) that can be extracted by hand into a file and viewed. But they are not always RGB; they may be /DeviceCMYK -- 4 bytes per pixel instead of 3? Which image viewers can properly handle CMYK jpgs? Irfanview sort-of recognizes the file type but shows false color, and then saves as a wrong RGB. Image Analyzer says it can handle CMYK, but does not seem to do it by default -- maybe with the ImageFileLib plugin? -69.87.199.97 14:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Screensaver maker question[edit]
I've got an older version of Irfanview, and I've used the screensaver making function with no problems, everything worked fine, it's easy to use etc, but one major drawback is that you could only turn the screensavers off by pressing a key on the keyboard, moving the mouse didn't work. I was wondering if later versions fix that, or is it still that you can only use the keyboard? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.134.209.252 (talk) 08:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Editing and saving RAW files[edit]
Can IrfanView edit and save RAW files? The first sentence int the article is 'IrfanView is a freeware image viewer for Microsoft Windows that can view, edit, and convert image files'. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (Talk • Contribs) 23:33, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, it can, but you need to install a plugin, see..

you need some additional files from Canon as explained on the page above, i think RAW files are .CR2 format 79.66.214.77 (talk) 14:47, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Irfan Skiljan - spelling of name[edit]
I've checked the reviews, interviews, the IrfanView helpfile (and the 5 domains listed there: http://www.irfanview.com, http://www.irfanview.net, http://www.irfanview.info, http://www.irfanview.at, http://irfanview.tuwien.ac.at) and have seen no accents or other modifications to the S in Skiljan. As of the time of this writing, of all the Wikipedia IrfanView articles in other languages, only the Croatian (Hrvatski) Wikipedia article http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/IrfanView shows 'Irfan Škiljan' - is that correct in Hrvatski? Are any different spellings for Irfan's name used in any reliable sources? --Lexein (talk) 15:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
