Thanks Pierre, that indeed did the trick. Will that stay in place when the program updates, or should I save the snippet?

Encore merci!

XnView MP 1.9.8, 64-bit (but present since at least 1.9.7

OS: Windows Home, 64-bit

See here for full write-up.

Since 1.9.7 at least and when the "Custom" theme (Tools > Settings > General)) is being used, the "Conditions" box in the search function (true for the Smart Albums feature as well) has ...

Ah! Pierre was writing at the same time I was.

Thanks! And yes, I use the Custom theme; see above for details.

So, I just spent time experimenting with the different themes (Tools > Settings > General), and this does appear to be an issue with the "Custom" theme; all the other themes have a Conditions box color coherent with the theme's colors.

When one chooses the Custom theme, there is indeed a dialog box ...

It's been this way for a while; the program has been restarted and the computer rebooted many times.

HI all,

Quick question: The "Conditions" box in the search function (true for the Smart Albums feature as well), which was formerly grey, has gone white:

As you can see, this makes the employed conditions very difficult to read.

I did go through my settings to see if I ...

Thanks @jkm for this clarification and excellent write-up in the link!

A quick and possibly stupid question: In the new(ish) Smart Albums function and in its New smart album dialog, what do the Filename and Folder fields do?

Edit: Ah! I see what the "Folder" field does (limits the search to a particular folder (and its subfolders if the corresponding box is checked ...

Needless to say, a big "+1" on my part, and I very much like the idea of presets; that would be a very nice touch!

Just a quick observation:

user0's manipulation here works nearly universally in XnView MP.

Indeed, my chosen rewording appears in:

Browser window > Metadata > Set rating (and Set rating button)

Browser window > Tools > Search > Conditions: Rating (and search button)

Right click on image in ...

Too fricken cool!

However, do I assume correctly that this will have to be redone at each update?

Even so, thank you very much, user0!

To any other non-techies, here's the process for Microsoft Windows 10 Home (you're on your own for other systems):

Close XnViewMP

In Microsoft Explorer ...

Uh... For us non-techy types?

if folder can be rated/labeled - it must be returned by Catalog filter


Can they though? Especially putting a star rating on a folder??

If they can, then you're right, and indeed the Filter By function can refine the results.

In that case, a follow up suggestion would be to somehow add the ...

This is a bit of a complement to this post on letting the user define star ratings .

If possible, I think it would also be a useful addition to add "Not rated" or "Zero stars" to the rating function in the Catalog Filter, noting that if added, it should only return images and image-like (vector ...

Yessss!

That worked perfectly and now the "Orientation" property is working perfectly at least for me.

Off to the "Closed/Resolved" forum for this one!

Merci et bonne journée
