Can anyone create a bash script for XnView MP using Nemo as the file
manager to enable XnView MP to set wallpaper on Linux Mint Cinnamon.

I would like to be able to right click any image open in XnView MP in the
same way that you can do this in the Pix image viewer.

Thanks for any help with this; I'm woefully incompetent pertaining to
anything to do with even the simplest of coding.

I would like to be able to right click any image open in XnView MP *and be able to have a functional "set as wallpaper" option* in
the same way that you can do this in the Pix image viewer.

Currently, there is a set as wallpaper function available in XnView MP but
it doesn't work using Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Or, I may not be on the right path here at all.

If anyone can successfully create a context menu entry, a button on the toolbar, etc... to make it possible to simply select an image already open
in XnView MP and set that image as a wallpaper, and tell me how to do it,
that would be wonderful.

That sounds like something is slightly b0rken.

XnViewMP has a config file called config.ini perhaps in an xnview dir in
your .config dir.

I don't know how to determine if it is Nemo's 'fault' (since your Nemo
works ok for Pix) or xnview's fault, since nemo doesn't work properly
for it.

Or xnview doesn't like something about Cinn/Nemo.

Right, Mike, something is definitely off-center concerning Set as
Wallpaper and XnView Mp and Linux.

I was hoping, maybe against hope, that one of the wizards in this group
maybe had already had some experience with it and had figured it out, if
it was possible even to do it.

And yes, all the set as wallpaper commands work for me in Nemo, in Pix, in whatever.

Out of interest, which version of XnView MP and which version of LM? I
have not found it possible to update XnView for almost a year without
running a force-all script every time because of a missing dependency.

Hello, Jeff.

It's Mint 22.3 and the latest version of XnView Mp, which is 1.11.5 (2026-06-29)

That's unfortunate that you can't update. On my setup, XnView will notify
me when an update is available and then I go to:

https://www.xnview.com/en/xnview-mp/

and select the Linux DEB 64bit option and reinstall over what I already
have. After this, restoring the entire saved /opt/XnView/UI folder
reapplies all the customization's that are lost with an update.

Interesting. I have updated several times (the latest to 1.11.5) and am
also on LM22.3. I also use the Linux DEB 64bit option when XnViewMP
informs me there's an update available. When I try to install that I
always get:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libglig2.0-0 (>= 2.33.14)

I then have to run:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb
(that's the name of the deb on my desktop)

The update then installs without any further problem.

Check Synaptic to see what versions of libglib you have installed. I think
you misspelled libglib as libgli"G", so be sure to search with the correct name.

This:

script in user folder on " . " top ?

A misspelling is quite possible! Sometimes it's not possible to
copy'n'paste error messages, so I might have just tried to type it and
got the last letter wrong.

I have the same. Next time I open XnViewMP and it tells me there's an
update I'll try to get a screenshot of the error message.
