XnView Software

I can confirm that ratings are lost. I tested this on a folder with 237 and another with 14 JPGs. When I select another folder and return to the former all ratings are gone. I optimized the database (all settings checked). Randomly when I reopen the application it immediatly crashes when it loads ...

I posted my problem on the ExifTool forum (which is back online obviously).

Nevertheless, I would like to know if I need to remove the keyword entry from the list in the IPTC settings dialog in case it already stored the non-UTF-8 encoding?

Thank you, mahikeulbody. The forum of exiftool, however, is actually offline as it seems.

Feature request:
It would be nice if XnView would include an option to show whether keywords have been written using UTF-8 encoding or something else. This criterion should also be available as a filter and ...

No. On Windows where I wrote the tags UTF-8 encoding was disabled. I am not sure if it is the default setting or might have been set from an older configuration file which sits in the folder. Normally I just overwrite all files to keep the configuration.

Thank you for the suggestion. When I rewrite ...

I am using the current version of XnViewMP 0.51 on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. In the first step I added keywords to JPEG files running XnViewMP on Windows. When I switched to Ubuntu I noticed that those keywords containing an ß do not show the character but the rest of the word.

I am using Ubuntu and have been working with Windows for a long time. I would be very happy to help where I can. You could maybe consider to split the software into modules from which you could release at least some to the open source community.
What I am talking about is XNViewMP of course.

@bucky
exactly. thank you for the explanation: that makes it more clear.
but why are the normal and the lossless mode working different / are not both working on the basis of an 8x8 block?

@Dreamer
maybe your problem has something to do with the orientation flag set in the exif data. i could imagine that the representation in the browser/viewer differs from what the "raw pixel data" of the image are. maybe someone can describe which program option could force such a behaviour ...

hi Pierre.
i see the difference in handling the image data in the memory instead of directly reading and writing on the file. (pls correct me if i misunderstood)

but i do not understand the following:
i did an experiment rotating an image with the 4 different modes.
the result is that only the ...

@Pierre
can you please explain what happens when i use the rotate commands in the viewer ? the same commands can be found in both interfaces ( browser , viewer ).
i experience two different behaviours:
case 1: when i use the "normal" rotate commands in the viewer the program asks me whether i ...

@Pierre
is there a reason that the same does not apply to the viewer?

hello.
just to make sure i understand right:

the rotation cw/ccw buttons ...

hello.

can i create such a webgallery or website from multiple folders, in which
images are stored? i could not find a way, maybe there are command line
arguments to do that.

hello.

as i am quite new to xnview i need to ask you something.
my idea is to build up contactsheets from multible eps files which cannot be
previewed by other filebrowsers. that works fine so far.

1) question: is there a way to automatically save all these conactsheets that have been created ...
