XnView Software

XnView MP 1.6.3 does display EXR files, but cannot handle metadata stored in OpenEXR files. Please add support in XnView GUI :) Implementation could simply reuse ExifTool; it supports reading.

In browser mode, panels EXIF, IPTC-IIM and XMP are not existing

In view mode, overlay ...

Hi David,

did you find a way to solve it?

In casse you or others are looking for ways to search EXR meta data, you may use ExifTool to extract information from an exr file and write it to other containers (file name, embedded comment, EXIF, IPTC, XMP) and maybe create an temporary JPEG – so data ...

Which of these suggestions have been implemented?
As of v1.6.1 and as far as I found, only reducing the latency of map view, and having more map types available in "Menu > Metadata > Open GPS location in" :|

I updated the original post because XnView MP developed further and I learned better ...

+1 because of two motivations: 1) I usually remember the season much more reliably than the exact year. 2) I often want pictures of all e.g. summer vacations – i.e. all years in a range – with a certain activity (=IPTC keyword) or location (not possible yet, see feature request GPS suggestions ...

Whether ESC closes whole app is also dependant on other settings (especially Interface > Tabs > Closing last tab exits XnView ) so a redesign shall IMHO encompass all of the related settings. See also https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=38872&p=191304&hilit=esc+close#p191304

XnView: MP 1.6.3 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 64bit

In menu bar, all entrys except Metadata have an accelerator key, so I cannot open it using a shortcut like ALT+T for Tools which is inconsistent and slowing down.

Expected behaviour: Hotkey ALT+A opens Metadata menu. ALT+M, +E and +T are already taken ...

@Pierre: The option sounds very useful but at least for me, the implementation in v0.99.7 is clearly less useful than previous default behavior, so I now activated "Load 'Default values'". Example: I am scanning letters. For 1st image, I crop to content, press SHIFT+S, set resample=true + mode=size ...

Correct, not by default, but I have configured settings > interface > shortcuts > viewer mode > browse to Ctrl+B. In the initial post, I wrote "confirmed" but you can read as "configured"

At least I understood it the way that with ticket setting, files are sorted when a directory is read, and if further files are added later to the directory, they shall be added at the end instead somewhere in the middle (where you would expect them due to sorting criteria) so they are easy to locate ...

In settings > view, "new files are added at the end of the list" is unticked. Still, newly created files (e.g. by "save as") are seen at the end of the file list instead of the position they shall have according to current sort criteria ...

Dear all, a relatively simple question that could be still demanding for the folks quite advanced in XnView MP...

XnView MP 0.93.1 supports a certain customization for the information overlay that can be toggled by pressing shortcut i or calling menu > view > show information. For customization of ...

Actual behaviour (bug):
1. Go to settings > view > info, click insert>>, image > MPixels. Now, {MPixels} parameter is in the text area. Close with OK.
2. Go to thumbnails list (browse), select 1 file, press enter, press i to display ...

Best would be to have curves

As of XnView MP 0.93.1, a curve tool exists, see menu bar > image > adjust > curves, which supports custom presets - hence, you could once define a curve that only lightens shadows and later on re-use it quickly.

It would be nice if the histogram could be (optionally) shown in the background of the curve and changes as the curve is modified to show the current situation.
+1 because only with that information I can see whether the existing brightness levels will be stretched to fully utilize all 255 ...
