XnView Software

1) "Edit IPTC/XMP" window When you open "Edit IPTC/XMP", depending on settings in the least tab (options), XnviewMp reads only iptc OR only xmp metadata. So, if yo want to read iptc and create xmp, in this window you must select "Iptc, create or update xmp" mode. It's sometimes better to close this ...

Tout à fait d'accord, c'est un problème...

To the right of the search field, there is a three dot action to expand (or fold) all categories, and a down-arrow menu : you will find different search modes here ...

You are right...
In folders that have been browsed, star rating and color labels are read, and added in db.
It seems there is no way to avoid this in XnViewMP

I think you only need to deselect all the checkboxes in "Settings, metadata", so that XnViewMP does not read or write any metadata, and works with its database ... You can also add starring buttons in the toolbar. Later, you can create a backup in a xml file for these stars/ color labels (in categor...

Go to : Settings, Metadata, and mark "import xmp subject or iptc keywords to db categories" option. Many ways to update database (=catalog) : -for a few photos, select them and click "View, Update catalog from files" -for a few folders, go to settings, catalog, delete lines containing these folders,...

It seems that database is not up to date...
Did you move or rename folders or photos with another browser?

It seems it's thé same question than this post

You should first verify if all your tags are iptc keywords or xmp keywords. You can use also Exiftool tab in info pane for this step. 1) IPTC Without hierarchy, list of keywords, often displayed with commas. In iptc hierarchy, a separator character is used in a single string (Animals/Elephants/Black...

I think you must check "new name", and let {filename} in this field

You can use this method: View, Sort by, Show headers. If "Rating" is not shown, right-click in headers to add it, or move it, if necessary headers look like this : https://orchisere.pagesperso-orange.fr/logiciels/html/xnvpics/xnvmp21.png ...here sort by Exif date is enabled Then, you can click on "R...

In Settings, (Browser) Thumbnails, Overlay Icons, if "has keywords" is checked, a yellow icon will be displayed on thumbnails having a category.

The only other way is to enable writing IPTC keywords (for jpg pictures), and display this label...

Oui, on peut aussi, mais je n'y vois pas de bénéfice ... D'abord, il faut rester très méthodique lors des actions sur les catégories, en gardant sélectionnées les images concernées. La fonction, c'est dans le menu Afficher, "mise à jour des fichiers avec le catalogue" ; ça a peut-être un avantage, c...

Quelques paramètres à modifier ou vérifier : - Paramètres, (Parcourir), Miniatures, onglet Libellés, faites passer "Exif date heure d'origine" vers la zone à droite - Pour afficher les libellés sous les miniatures : Affichage, afficher en, Miniatures et libellés - Pour trier : Affichage, Disposer pa...

These photos do contain keywords ? iptc ? xmp ? xmp companion ? Do you have already created some of these keywords as categories in xnviewmp ? Did you backup some settings, categories, xnview.db ... before adding so much photos ? If yes, go to settings metadata, mark the first checkbox (import xmp ....
