XnView Software

Hope, it is possible and accepted to "revive" this thread..
Although meanwhile I am on Linux Mint 22.1 , XnViewMP 1.8.3 and have manually updated exiftool to 13.16 , I still cannot "invoke" or use exiftool as I use to do under windows. Reason might be my poor Linux knowledge in general, so again ...

Yes, of course. Used the wrong wording. Meant "cmdupdate_Files". My bad. Sorry.

Dear Pierre, need to re-open this issue again and would like to request your support, once again, please.

After the incorporated changes from you, now I cannot export XMP data to files in the base-path .
It works well and as expected on different path's ( other than basePath, e.g. "C ...

Thank you very much for looking into this, Pierre.

Waiting for a fix...

Yesssss, that works
Thank you, michel038!
Hope, Pierre will think about this /realize this as a as well...

Dear Pierre, this is the same as I wanted to describe in my earlier post .
I cannot tell until which version of XnViewMP, but I am sure, in the past the "uncategorized" item also respected the "match" selection (e.g. for a specific folder or specific folder and subfolders).

It would be great, if ...

Dear Pierre, the bug seems to be fixed. I tested it with 4...5 folders, after adjusting the base path and altering the database.
Thank you!

Dear Pierre, sorry for keeping you waiting with an answer or test.

For me, the issue is still not fixed. I cannot search for items "without category" in a specific folder.
The search still runs globally. The bug is still present, from my point of view.

Thank you!

Sorry, my apologies!
Did not search enough, obviously

Dear Pierre, dear users,

For me, it seems the catalog filter in version 1.6.3 64-bit (Windows) - Libformat 7.167 is not working properly.

Obviously the "Match" setting is not ...

Thank you for the feedback, Pierre!

Would also like to say THANK YOU for your efforts and the really superb piece of software and your efforts, maintaining it!

Dear Pierre, dear users, today I would like to seek assistance with the function ' base path of your pictures ' in combination with the function ' update catalog from files ' in the view -menu.

I started with a freshly unpacked v1.6.1, 64bit from portableapps (whereas the same happens within my ...

tried single quotes around the complete term...
'-overwrite_original -k -xmp-dc:subject<iptc:keywords'

as well as around each parameter
'-overwrite_original' '-k' '-xmp-dc:subject<iptc:keywords'

without luck :(

Maybe exiftool needs to be accessible system-wide or a "rights-problem"
Too much ...

Thanks for your quick answer, michel038!


I don't know how ExifTool should be used, if it needs to be installed, and if it needs a library (perl ?)


Thought about this, as well. On the other hand, I can use the standalone exiftool in /opt/XnView/AddOn, when calling directly from the commandline ...

Good evening,
