I have created a new package: xnviewmp-system-libs. This is exactly the same build, except that the bundled Qt/icu libs are removed. Please try it if you want to use XnView without the bundled libs, and discuss any issue related to this configuration here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xnviewmp-system-libs/. Do keep in mind that this is an experimental package though, and things may break when I try to fix other things...

If makepkg fails because the checksum is incorrect, please flag the package out-of-date and I will update the PKGBUILD.

The PKGBUILD now references the latest versioned archive, as a result of which it should keep working if a new version is released. However, upstream sometimes updates released archives in place, in which case the checksum will fail and a manual intervention is required.

PKGBuild is out of date again. Correct sha256sum is '3BC29C4F160D62BD2172C5BC7C6DFD793A2CAC921030BF767069618BB35DE44F'

Apologies for the delay updating the package, the 0.99.7 release happened at a very busy time for me, but I'm now back in business :)

Important bugfixes from 0.99.0 -> 0.99.1

I see someone already marked this (0.99.0) as out of date. =)

@djmattyg007: I hadn't even noticed the PKGBUILD was using HTTP URLs, thanks for the heads-up! That's probably because upstream is using HTTP URLs everywhere... Anyway, I've updated the URLs.

Please update the upstream URL and the source download URL to use HTTPS.

@zw963: I wish I could do something about that, but this is beyond my control! The source tarball is indeed pretty big, but this is actually explained by the fact that it contains most of the libraries XnView MP depends on: the libs directory represents about 75% of the total size (uncompressed). I don't think this is something that upstream would easily accept to change, because the only supported way to run XnView MP is using those packaged libs. Note that I maintain another package (xnviewmp-system-libs) that allows you to get rid of those libs and use the system ones instead, but it doesn't change the fact that you need to download the full source tarball.

XnViewMP-linux-x64_0.98.3-rel1.tgz, this source file is too too big to download for a just a picture viewer, just because it include some big demo video/image into this source code packaged file, right?
