XnView Software

That should do it as long as you did it withXnView closed The open it and go to categories and there will be a big box at the top of the list Nope, it doesn't have big box at the top of the categories in the categories tab cat ~/.config/xnviewmp/xnview.ini [Preview] actionMode=1 info=@ByteArray(\x1...

Thank you elfroggio / Syv - that is clear. So ... XnView can't yet quick search IPTC but only XMP. To save data into XMP using Ctrl+I edits the original, does not add to sidecar and creates an additional (backup) file. Can I write a keyword tag in a manner that does not create a backup copy but _is...

Let me pipe in:

• IPTC data is modifying the original raw image after doing a backup as: xxx.ext_original
• XMP data is written to the XMP sidecar

I'm trying to use the new quick access.

How do I enable it?

I added to: ~/.config/xnviewmp/xnview.ini, in the [Preview] section:
Can somebody direct me to the correct section that it should be?

Thanks

Can the edit XMP applied to many images at the same time? When I selected 5 images, I click on "Write to all files", XnViewMP doesn't close. I have to eventually click on Cancel.

Yes,"write to al filesl" does the job.
Then, we have to close the window anyway

Thanks

Uncheck "Export catalog's category to XMP subject and IPTC Keyword" Keep only "Update or create XMP sidecar" option You can read ExifTool tab to make sure that no new xmp metadata has been added into the original file Note that since V0.92, the new window "Tools, Metadata, Edit XMP" allows to add a...

What I want is to write all the data to the XMP sidecar and not to modify the original raw image.

Thanks

I'm trying to figure which setting causes XnViewMP to modify the raw files. When I change the IPTCs, XnV write to the raw file: dscf8516.raf and also makes a backup: dscf8516.raf_original. My settings are: Screenshot_20210226_090648.png In spite of selecting: create/update sidecar XnMp modifies the ...

Thank you

Hi, I have all my photos (around 50,000) in the /home/froggy/photos/ folder with about 400 subfolders. I have a bunch of other jpgs and pngs that are in other folders but that I do not want them in the index. I'd like for xn to only index the /home/froggy/photos/ with the subfolders. Nothing else. I...

Two ways for tagging : 1) Edit Iptc/xmp You can add captions, titles, keywords, location, country etc ... but only in embedded metadata with current version (in files types which accept embedded) Settings are located in last tab, options. 2) Using categories You can add only keywords (= categories)...

Metadata>Update or create XMP sidecar Nope, either that didn't worked or I do not understand. https://i.imgur.com/IE3qFy0.png and https://i.imgur.com/KI40LxG.png I have tried both: filename.xmp and filename.extension.xmp. Same. Xnviewmp modifies the actual raw file and does not create the xmp file....

I have canon CR2 and fuji RAF raw images.

Which setting do I need to set to write the IPTC to an XMP associated with the raw file but not modify the original raw file?

Thank you
