XnView Software

Hello,

Are there any plans on supporting edits on IPTC extension fields, specifically Date Created Circa? I have a lot of photos of Artwork and I need this to insert the date the artwork was painted. Let me know if this is in the works or not. Thanks!

I am also trying to figure out why my images are not displaying consistently. I am coming from ACDSee and all my thumbnails are displayed with the proper orientation, however, in XnView MP only the .ARW files seem to orient properly in the Thumnails. I did rotate the images in ACDSee according to ...

As far as changing dates earlier than 1970, why is that a problem?

You can change the three Exif dates as you want

But the file attributes, managed by your O.S. should not contain file created or file modified dates prior to the invention of computers
This can cause anomalies and damage files ...

Ah, so it had to do with the field title. Makes sense. Is there a map of field titles for IPTC and EXIF used in XnView MP? I did some searching and EXIF standard definition are "DateTime" and "DateTime Original", which, I believe, correlate to Date Taken and Date Modified. It seems that in XnView ...

Unfortunately that did not work either. I just get the text: {EXIF:Modified Date [m/d/Y H:M:S]}

Hello,
When you set these options :
Checked "Create EXIF metadata if needed" and "Force the update in case of anomaly."
XnviewMP calls ExifTool (external AddOn) instead of using it's own procedures; so it takes a while to load ExifTool (maybe for each photo) , and it seems that ExifTool is a bit ...

I tried to combine two values in one custom field, as I saw it was done in the preset custom field, but it did not work. Here is what I tried:
EXIF Date Taken: {EXIF:Date Taken [m/d/Y H:M:S]} EXIF Date Mod: {EXIF:Date Modified [m/d/Y H:M:S]}

The Date Take portion works but the Date Modified does ...

Thanks again, helmut for your response.

That is what I thought. I was changing a bunch of files but monitoring it through File Explorer by sorting by Date Modified. That way I could see the rate of files repopulating on the file list. It was definitely taking at least 1 second but closer to 2 ...

Thank you so much, helmut! I really appreciate your help. It worked! 8) I was hoping I would not have to use a custom field, but I guess we have 5 of them. I assume there is no way to get more custom fields. Hopefully it will be sufficient.

I am very excited about what this program can do. It was ...

Hello,

I have been experimenting with changing Timestamps to try to create a coherent sort across videos and photos. I have noticed that it takes about 2 seconds for each file to change, which seem rather long for this type of change. I am running Windows 10 Pro with a Ryzen 5 3600X, on a X570 ...

Hello all,

First post here. I am just learning this software and am excited about it's possibilities. I will probably be asking a lot of newbie questions that I cannot find the answers to with searches (I try my best to not ask duplicate questions). First up is if it is possible to add Labels to my ...
