XnView Software

Before cleaning up an SD, I would like to verify that
all photos exist on the disk, but they have been organized in different folders on the disk.
I have tried with Find similar files and selecting Between folders only,
but then it also compares among folders in the disk, which takes a long time ...

I found a solution . See this thread down.

Thanks!
...but this is a workaround, not a solution. The solution is having relocate fixed, and unfortunately
we do not get an answer on whether this is being worked for the ...

Just updated to Version 0.92 64bits (Sep 18 2018) but the problem persists.
Is this problem going to be fixed soon?
Thanks

No, look the consecutive screenshots: after OK in captura2, nothing changes (captura3).

you can edit the database or use 'relocate' in settings>Catalog

To solve the same problem, I use relocate from e.g.

Old Path: D:\FOTOS\BDNMar\
New Path: E:\FOTOS\BDNMar\

Click OK and nothing changes.

To update categories, XnView needs to re-write the full file. So on slower drive (not ssd), i have 8 seconds for 100 files


This type of LaCie external disks (and equivalent) is very common, not sure we can call the "slow". Anyway, I do not argue on this.
I'm just asking for an "Apply" button ...

Any plans to actually add this feature?

I have renamed a folder using windows (from TG5 to TG5_BDN).
Now when I select pictures within xnview MP with the Categories Filter panel, (e.g., I select category "UW"), I have both the thumbnails of TG5 (actually with no associated file) and those of TG5_BDN (the correct ones). Is there a way of ...

Which of these suggestions have been implemented?

i've tried with 50 copies of your picture file, i assign to a category, and writing take 1-2 sec. Could you try?


It is a matter of the external drive: I tried with 64 copies on the local hard drive and tagging with a test sub-subcategory took no time.
The same test done with the folder in the ...

the categories are written when you change the image selection.

could you send me one or more file samples that you use?

I had that impression: nothing happens until you try to select another photo. Anyway, it's very confusing, much better having
an apply button.

If you select 50 JPG it's slow? do you assign category in the bottom category pane?


Yes, I use this:

and the the program is unresponsive for a while.

What bothers me most is the fact that once you click a box there is no an Apply ...

JPG right now, but I will be using RAW and tif as well.

This is what I have, perhaps not the best?
