XnView Software

Hi experts - I have noticed that when photo files are moved from one folder to the other that the corresponding cache is rebuilt for the new folder and remains for the old folder. Is there a way for Xnview to preserve the cache contents and move the cache as the files are moved? That would save a ...

I think that a couple of minor tweaks to the IPTC keywords edit page would cause a 2-4X speedup. See thread : http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=5117

I spoke (um ... typed ?) too soon. There actually is a keyboard equivalent of MOUSE(1) : you type TAB 11 times to get focus to the keyword text field.

Here are a few suggestions of IPTC dialog GUI changes that could speed up keyword annotation.

So when I had the memory consumption problem xnview was searching a combination of ...

I've observered what looks like a memory leak when searching IPTC keywords. This occurs on a Win XP machine with 256MB physical memory. When I search a hierarchical set of directories containing about 25,000 images and 60GB in size, the XNVIEW memory consumption goes through the max VM limit within ...
