i have not encountered anything native to windows 10 that opens .jp2; that's why i'm trying so many third-party softwares - the latest being http://www.fastone.org .. and this latest too does not seem like it's friendly to a tablet with touchpad keyboard or else i don't understand how to work it: it's requiring an immense time to create thumbnails for the 517 .jp2 pages; and i see no way to use its slideshow feature without first creating these thumbnails; and i see no way to view this book without using the slideshow feature.
i tried using the gimp 2.8 .scm that Bob mentioned; the script's window does indeed appear but i can't understand how to operate that either! What's the difference between a viewer and a converter? /s/ Neal Weissman On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 2:27 AM, Bob Long <[email protected]> wrote: > Neal Weissman wrote on 01/10/15 14:21: > > > Thank You Bob. > > > > But I need to confess that I'm a newbie and I don't know how to use an > > .scm file;am I supposed to place it into a specified gimp folder?
