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

Bonjour Pierre,

Better, but not completely resolved.

I first re-updated metadata at Tools > Settings >Catalog.

Then, I searched orientation with "Current folder" or "Current folder (Recursive)." This works much better now, with both "Landscape" and "Portrait" now returning results.

The portrait ...

Chose faite donc ! I just sent a PM to you.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

could you send us some sample files shown when using 'Catalog Filter > Match: "Global" > Properties > Landscape '?

Do I assume correctly that you would like to have portrait-oriented samples?

I can't reproduce, do you have used "Settings>Catalog>Update metadata"?


Yes, I did update the catalog's metadata (prompt with the new version).

I just re-updated them again just to be safe (and restarted the program) and the problem is still present.

I'll add also that there's a certain ...

The "Orientation" function in the new "Properties" category of the Catalog Filter returns expected results in only one case.

Note bene: On the "Match" dropdown, choosing "Match any selected entry (OR)" or "Match all selected entries (AND)" appears to ...

I suspect that this issue is all about what the raw development software does itself.

The preview embedded in a .afphoto file is indeed small, and that's surely the case for acdsee as well. Adobe must embed a full-size preview in their .psd files.

I think those previews are the only thing xnview ...

That title's going to be confusing.

This concerns using the Search function with the condition "EXIF:ISO value."

First, am I correct that the ISO value is limited to 6400? And am I right that the limit has something to do with how iso numbers are coded in exif data (e.g. ExifToolGUI can only go up ...

+1. This indeed would be a useful addition.

EDIT: Although it might be a good idea to impose a modifier key, e.g. Ctrl + left click, instead of just left click, to avoid accidental zooms.

Well, now I'm confused.

I just downloaded 1.9.2 and saw that at Tools > Settings > Browser > Toolbar, there is a dropdown box giving the user 4 different choices for how the Filelist Toolbar behaves.

Is that new in this latest version? If so, thank you!

Or has that been there all along? If so ...

I completely agree. It happen a lot of time to me.
I vote for a confirmation dialogue box for moving an coping by drag and drop.

+1 from me too.

As of version 1.9.0, the Filelist Toolbar has become two bars: one situated above the file window, and another situated below it, which only appears after adding certain tools.

I thought this was a bug at first , turns out it isn't . Because this latter discussion is located in the Bug reports ...

Having discovered this post from my bug report that wasn't one (thanks user0 for the link), I'm glad to see the question of the Filelist Toolbar under discussion.

I think it would be fair to say that everyone uses the Filelist Toolbar in their own way.

The current bar has some elements that are ...

you have them now below thumbnails view

Ah... I see...

I suppose that change is explained by the post User0 linked to?

I'm very conscious of the fact that there's no way to satisfy everyone, but that means that Filelist toolbar tools are now on ... 2 different toolbars.

The only reason I use ...

Updating to version 1.9.0 changed my Filelist Toolbar setup, and making changes at Tools > Settings > Browser > Toolbar does not change the toolbar itself, with the exception of "Favorites" and "Quick search", even after restarting.
