XnView Software

Bridge use XMP sidecar? Pierre, I use XnView since several years, and I just started using Bridge recently because some unique functionalities it provides for the Adobe apps. Given that: a) I intend to stick using XnView as my main media hub/DAM, but having to explore the maximum the possibilities ...

I would like to make XnView my main hub to exchange media data between applications, and to "to open the browser (not in fullscreen mode) with file selected only" is the core of that workflow. And the same behavior would what I expect regarding of sticking the browser view when pasting file paths o...

you would like to open the browser (not in fullscreen mode) with file selected only? Exactly! I would like to make XnView my main hub to exchange media data between applications, and to "to open the browser (not in fullscreen mode) with file selected only" is the core of that workflow. Thank you.

Thanks for the directions Pierre! And in order to XnView read the metadata/categories from Adobe Bridge, should I also set "Import XMP subject or IPTC keyword to DB Categories"? And the option "update or create XMP Sidecar"? Also, "Write comment in XMP"? I'm just double-checking with you the "minima...

Set the number of tabs down to one and see if that helps

Many thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, it doesn't stop XnView of launching the file in the Viewer mode. It seems the "Browser" tab isn't counted as "one".

Hi, I'd appreciate your help. As shown in this screencast (https://bit.ly/2Qo7kpM), when I paste a file path (e.g. C:\Image\Image.jpg) on XnViewMP 0.96.5 it launches the file, leaving the "Browser" and changing automatically to the "Viewer" interface. I perused XnViewMP settings and couldn't see any...

Thanks for the suggestion Rick, but the "normal" setting will launch the starting with a file in "viewer" mode . It seems there is no explicit option to set up that behavior in XnViewMP through regular Settings. For instance, the image below is from FastStone, in which I could see that option explic...

Hi, I'm in a process of replacing Adobe Bridge with XnViewMP 0.96.5. There are the Settings>Metadata>IPTC&XMP (snapshot below) and I'd appreciate your help to set it up in a way that XnView and Bridge can coexist in SYNC. So, what are the proper "Metadata" settings that would allow XnView to read/wr...

Hi, I'd appreciate your help. I tried to set up XnViewMP 0.96.5 - unsuccessfully - to open/start with a file in "browser" mode tweaking "Settings>General" (snapshot below). Using the regular Settings interface I could only set up XnViewMP to start either in "Fullscreen" or in "Normal" (which is the ...

@xnview I'm glad you could reproduce the bug. a) Just clarifying my former message, the expected behavior refers only to SPACE set to "no action" (previously I mentioned "next file" too). So, the expected behavior of the SPACE bar in that case is: Play/stop reproduction in Browser/Viewer interfaces,...

Hi, As shown in this screencast ( https://bit.ly/3fJwHMW ), I compared among XnViewMP, ACDSee and Adobe Bridge the preview playing of the this portrait video from mobile: https://bit.ly/3fDEXOI XnView (0.96.4 x64): Wrong orientation (upside-down) and initial missing frames when playing.

Hi, As shown in the snapshot below, I compared among XnViewMP, ACDSee and Windows Properties/Details the metadata of the audio file available. The audio file is available in this link: https://mega.nz/file/pdAyBayR#kgQcIHCWxM7-7AULzaWfr6Wt6tO7mHng3AJw6GZa81I In XNViewMP (0.96.4 x64) is missing the m...

Hi, As of XnView 0.96.4, in "Settings -> Browser -> File liste -> Custom Filter" the setting "Show as Thumbnail" is uncheck for "Video" by default (clean install). I notice the video thumbnails being a recurrent query in the forum. SUGGESTION: "Show as Thumbnail" checked (enabled) for "Video" by def...

Inconsistent/Different behavior of "space bar" in Browser and Viewer interfaces for video/audio files Hi, As shown in the screencast ( https://bit.ly/3guH7RJ ), there is an inconsistent behavior of "space bar" in Browser and Viewer interfaces for video/audio files Settings>Interface>Keyboard = SPACE...

Pierre, do you have an idea how to solve my problem ? "Go to Settings -> Browser -> File liste -> Custom Filter and check if the "Show as Thumbnail" checkbox in the "Video" row is checked."
