XnView Software

When I use the IPTC Editor to write initial IPTC, this information displays correctly in other programs. Now, here is the huge problem, and this has affected thousands of my images before I caught it --- when I edit the IPTC again, whether to add new information or to correct information, this new ...

I don't know how exactly (it seems that french version is different from english version)

Try to unmark :
Settings , Browser, Show ratings
and / or
Settings, View, Show rating and label color.

But "People" is just binary, and if I needed that I could very simple define a category for that by myself. Names of people that have been recognized by softwares such as Picasa, Microsoft Windows Gallery (maybe others ?) are written in some XMP metadata. I have more than 100 different person names...

Ok, thank you

We have to reduce height to 11 pixels, and width 165 px.

XnViewMp can sometimes use ExifTool but ExifTool is only an add-on here.
ExifTool standalone can provide a lot of wonderful tools, you should see www.exiftool.org ...

Je me dépêche avant mes vacances J'ai mis des résultats de tests en Anglais la bas : https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=39741&start=15 ,mais c'est un post "Closed Resolved" En quelques mots , resultats provisoires, et en Français : Les paramètres à activer : (Outils, Parametres, méta...

Yes, I noticed the same thing this afternoon, exiftool needs 4 digits for hhmm ... If your filenames ( _xxx) does not contain any digit, you can first use Tools, Batch rename in XnviewMP to add an arbitrary timestamp In the first field, set {filename}_#### This will add four digits Then you can set ...

I'm doing some tests, see this thread viewtopic.php?f=104&t=39741&start=15
... but I ask more questions than I give answers

This man is a genius :shock: . Phil Harvey is the creator of ExifTool. I processed many filenames formats containing dates with this simple parameter: -k "-AllDates<filename" -overwrite_original In most cases, I get a warning, but the work is well done Exif dates and file dates are updated with the ...

It seems working with Microsoft metadata. But Neither browsing an existing folder nor Update catalog from files can create new people The only way is to delete / add folder in settings, catalog. XnViewMP does read RegionPersonDisplayName Edit: Maybe "Update catalog from files" works, if people exist...

First question: Can I find these photos through a filter? An idea would be to sort photos by 'date taken' : - View, view files in subfolders. - View, view as, details - View , Sort by , Date taken ... so you can select a set at the top or the bottom of the list When I have found them: Can I set the...

Sorry, I read "tagging" as "set keywords and categories".

But the word "tag" from Xnview is used to define a tag on a file.
I will test this feature now ...

Edit : you are right

Tags are always deleted
in categories filter, tagged files is always 0

My answer was for Tommes ... but we can go on working together :D Short version You can edit keywords without using categories, by using Edit iptc or xmp window. You can categorize without writing keywords (settings, metadata, no export options) Categories is a tool that helps to go faster for keywo...

It's better to understand what are categories, what are iptc keywords and xmp keywords, and how XnViewMP can update these parts before trying some risky operations. We should also understand why categories count is not right ... Maybe because keywords were not written by Xnviewmp's categories method...

It's working ok here ... What type of photos do you want to tag? Which tag, iptc keywords ? xmp keywords ? xmp sidecar? Which OS ? Are you using "categories" panel ? categories sets ? right click ? Categoies button in the toolbar ? Browser mode ? View mode ? Full screen ? Can you show a screenshot o...
