Regarding Windows 10: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Photo_Viewer Not sure if it does .jp2 but doesn't seem promising. > 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. Irfanview has a plugin that includes JPEG2000 (plugin zip file #2, "formats"). Try that. When you have an image open in Irfanview, the top tool bar should have left and right arrows for moving to the next image. http://www.irfanview.com/screenshot/big/01_viewer_xp.jpg > 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! File|Sequential|Open First File... to navigate to the directory and open the first file. But the script does not include .jp2 files in its list. Probably easy to modify the script to do that as it is a text file). GIMP 2.8 itself will open .jp2 files. And to avoid having to always do File|Sequential... etc. you'd also want to assign a shortcut key to close and open the next file. But that all seems as if it's getting to be too much. For Windows, Irfanview is excellent, so I'd be spending my efforts getting that to work. You'll probably end up using it for other things, too. -- Bob Long > What's the difference between a viewer and a converter? > > > > /s/ Neal Weissman > > On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 2:27 AM, Bob Long <b...@oblong.com.au > <mailto:b...@oblong.com.au>> 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?
