Hello Poohbear,
The size being reported by XnView I think is that of the file’s thumbnail image and not that of the actual photo. Which I suspect XnView can’t read.
If you re-open the file in AP you will see that the image is still at it’s original size.

Xnview DOES read AP photos.

Please look through XnView > Preferences > Browser > Thumbnail.

There you can set the file details you wish to be visible with the picture thumbnails shown.

Simply a matter of dragging the details from the LH side of the panel into the RH side of the panel.

Any details you don't wish to be shown, drag from RH to LH panels.

It is worthwhile to check through all the Preferences, also make sure you put a checkmark in Preferences >General > Show all graphic formats.

For me on my Mac XnView only ever gives pixel dimensions for the files thumbnail never for the actual photo within the file.
If you could provide some screenshots of how to get XnView to bring up info about the actual photo within the file that would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it is because I use the Mac version of XnViewMP or we are talking about two different things, but nowhere in XnView > Preferences > Browser > Thumbnail do I find any setting that affects what the "Info" panel shows for the Image Width or Height values, nor does the two pane LH & RH panel interface appear for anything other than the Labels section, which does not appear to have anything to do with the width or height shown in the Info panel.

Hi, Poohbear and RC-R :

I'm on iMac too.

It's a matter of Custom Labels. Select a custom label (all the way down in the LH panel) > drag the selected label into the RH panel >>>>

> then fill in the particulars, exactly like I did in Custom label nr.3 (RHpanel), > click OK .

Forgot: You cannot continue to set other preferences after this, you'll have to Quit & Restart the application.

How do you get the Custom Label info to show in the Properties > Image section of the Info window for a selected Affinity format file?

I think this is what @Poohbear is asking about.

EDIT: Using your "{Width}x{Height} - {Size KB}" custom label expression shows exactly the same widths & heights as the Info window in the screenshot above for all my .afphoto & .afdesign files. The numbers are different for different Affinity format files, but it is showing the Affinity thumbnail size, not the actual document size.

After I copied the settings in your screenshot for XnView’s preferences, an AP file containing an image 3552px x 2000px, XnView will still only tell me the pixel size of the AP file’s thumbnail.

XnView can read the thumbnail, as Serif has made that available, but it it extremely unlikely it would be able to read other information from the .afphoto file as the overall file format is not documented.

It looks like it can read the document DPI, bit depth, color model, & a few other things, but I think that is just extracted from the Exif info using Exif Tool, at least for the Mac version.

[markw]

I think the DPI etc… might also be coming from the thumbnail too as the AP file belonging to my post above actually has a DPI of 180.

Seems I misunderstood the question....My Bad !

Thank you all for your invaluable help.
