Hello,
I have taken some time to prepare a full list of features/changes in XnView MP. This should better help new users or existing migrating XnView 1.9x users. I have looked through many forum topics to better collate this list.

Xnview For Mac

Please feel free to help me further in this list. Please keep any criticism as constructive. Thanks.
Virtually all of standard XnView's much loved features have been preserved for the 'Multi-Platform' (MP) version.
For XnView MP, notable features have been re-tweaked, enhanced and visually re-styled. XnView MP is intended to have a unified look and feel across all platforms it runs on. All core features and functionalities of the standard XnView 1.9x are all still present in XnView MP, whilst some features are scheduled to be re-introduced.
XnView MP has a more 'concise' approach in it's design, when comparing it to the standard XnView 1.9x. This conciseness can be visually seen in a lot of XnView MP's user menu's. For example, in the standard XnView 1.9x versions the information items (Info) for 'command line', 'registration', 'what's new' and 'licence agreement' were all available under separate items and would open in separate windows or instances. However in XnView MP, this has been re-styled to make all those same items still available, but now under a single ABOUT window with a tabs for each item. Several other concise-thought display methods now exist throughout XnView MP much like the aforementioned example.
XnView MP is provided as FREEWARE for private non-commercial or educational use (including non-profit organizations). XnView MP is supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
XnView MP is NOT Open-source software.
