XnView Software

Hi, have not really tried new xnview versions much lately so I do not know if something changed.

As far as I know you have that yellow xnview folder as default.
Picture will be taken from image folder (folder.jpg, or else) and will be displayed as thumbnail on that yellow folder, right?

Now, would ...

sorry... did not realize this post is old

I cannot select a few pictures and dragging them in a folder in the folder tree!

I cannot live without that...it's almost impossbile to manage lots of photos and always use the "move to" feature instead of a simple drag and drop.

I hope it will be add as soon as possible. So I will be able to ...

Hi

example:
-Lightroom 4 will animate movie on mouse over back and forth but it is slow as it possibly generates frames for most of the movie (not sure how this works).
-iPhoto - like how it shows you series of random images from a gallery on mouse over.

So, instead of 4 tiny images for a movie ...

Was not sure if I should submit here, so I am sorry if it is a wrong place. You can move this post where it should go.

Would it be possible to select all movies in directory and save those thumbnails xnviewXP created as movie-file-name.jpg into the same directory those movies are in?

Reason for ...

Thanks Roumano, that sounds easy, but for a older technically challenged person that could be a real difficulty.

That could work.
Thanks Pierre.

Any way to refresh or re-read the files so changes made in other programs would show up?

When I rate or label a file it will show up in Lightroom. If I edit in Lightroom it will not be seen in xnview.
Only way to do that now is to go in cacheDB and delete thumbnails. (on mac is fast but on winXP I ...

Hi, is there any way to move categories around or organize them?
Also, it would be nice to be able to import txt file with already created category hierarchy exported from Lightroom or other.

thanks for a great program

Thank you kindly for your help and all the links.

Thanks XnTriq, but not exactly what I was looking for. Those cleaners just delete thumbs.db.
I was after something that is more like an addon that will update thumbs.db on the fly as you add or remove images from folders in windows explorer.
I do not think anything like that exist.

Hi, I am sure someone here might have an answer...
I do not want to remove or clean directories of Thumbs.db. Actually I want to keep it but find an addon for windows explorer that will update Thumbs.db as I delete or move images out of a directory.
What happens is when images are gone thumbnails ...

Hi Pierre,
I have worked with a number of photo organizers: Picasa, Adobe Photo Album and IMatch, and none of them truly matched my needs. They have extra features, but they do not have the XnView elegance and flexibility.


You should try fotoalbum pro. It is cheap too at $40. In my opinion it is ...

Just take any image you want displayed as folder thumbnail and name it folder.jpg.. that is the simplest thing to do I think.
I use screen cap software, select region of image and have it scale down to certain resolution and names it folder.jpg

On the DB, i have \\VirtualFolder\..., on one PC VirtualFolder can be one pathname, and on another PC another pathname

Hi, I am unable to find this. Is it in there or you will put something like this in?
Sorry, I did not understand how this works... will something like "virtual folder" help with ...
