MP LINUX v0.25 - Search into database
Sorry, but it's strange this problem has reappeared into this v0.21, I have it again !
see here: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... 820#p77820
The function Search by IPTC Keywords
To reproduce:
Tools\Search \ ADD-->\ IPTC\Keywords\ (is) or (contain) \ "your keyword"\ ... does'nt work if "Use Database" is checked.
(I have checked into XnView MP database via sqlitebrowser, and it seems however that all keywords are already into the db)
PS: If "Use Database" is non checked, this function works correctly.

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
I can't reproduce...
So perhaps this DB info is not good... Try with a clean DB?
When searching in IPTC, imported keywords are not used. XnView search in Images::Meta field(I have checked into XnView MP database via sqlitebrowser, and it seems however that all keywords are already into the db)

I have tried to delete the XnView.db file, but unfortunately I have the same problem with this fresh XnView.db file.
PS: A other important thing: it's better to have by default the criteria: "=Contains" instead "=is "

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
Is it possible to have some files? And which search?
Pierre.
Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
Yes why not (but not easy because I have a lot of files, more than 500), maybe you can first try to add some IPTC keywords with some characters like ( "space", "@", "(", "?" upper& lower case) .xnview wrote:Is it possible to have some files? And which search?
IPTC keywords examples:
Code: Select all
Black Cat ? @home:3 (5) IPTC sample
red Dog (41) @ChicaGo gaRdEn: ... else - iptc sample
Name Firstname ? (21) IpTc sample
testtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt (1) sample iPtC
...
Pierre, how many characters max are supported for IPTC keywords ?

I think 256oops66 wrote:Pierre, how many characters max are supported for IPTC keywords ?
But you use special character in your search? Or perhaps send me your .db?

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
OK I have found the problem ( IPTC Keywords search into Data base):
1-) If I first select the Tab Categories ( browser mode) --> then do Tools\Search ---> then (the field : Filename is blank & the field "Directory" is blank too) --> And it works
but
2-) If I first select the Tab Folders ( browser mode) browse directories --> then do Tools\Search ---> then (the field : Filename is still blank but the field "Directory" is now not blank) --> And now it doesn't work
So this function only works if the field "Directory" is blank ! (even if "Match any of these following Conditions" is checked)
( I do not use special character in my search )

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
Ok, the problem is base pathname, pathname stored in DB is not correct...

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
I have tried the linux 0.25 version and the "Search by IPTC Keyword" problem remains.xnview wrote:Please, could you test XnViewMP 0.25
It's even worst because I can not perform a data-base search and I can not see now the thumbnails when I use by hand from the Xnview browser "Categories Tab\Categories\Others\ mouse-select a custom IPTC keyword " (thumbs are blank)
FI: I have deleted my old XnView.db file

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
Hello Pierre,
Ok, but I plan to do some others more accurate tests before.
edit - strange: I have deleted my old xnview.ini file to have a fresh ini file, & a new time the XnView.db file, and the behavior is now different:
The "Search by IPTC Keyword" problem remains.
But now I can see the thumbnails when I use by hand from the Xnview browser "Categories Tab\Categories\Others\ mouse-select a custom IPTC keyword "...
Edit1: I have sent you some jpg samples with IPTC keywords by e-mail

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
Ok, i've used your picture files.
You need to 'any of' because you search not the full keyword, but a word

Re: MP LINUX v0.21 - Search into database
I have tried both without success ...
I have sent you a new e-mail to explain the issue
Edit1: about the empty thumbnails, this bug occurs if the option is different of Options\Cache DB\Base path of your picture = /
like:
Options\Cache DB\Base path of your picture = /home/user1/albums/
maybe dues to 2 different partitions root / and /home, or the 2 folders names: Home & home into XnViewMP Browser ???
Edit2: Almost Fixed into the 0.26 XnViewMP Linux version - Tx
But the "Options\Cache DB\Base path of your picture" issue remains (see my e-mail)
