XnView Software

Got it now. It seems to use the sequence from the configured programs.

fn + opt + 1 opens image in DxO
fn + opt + 2 it opens the image in Affinity Photo.

Configured programs are:
1. DxO
2. Affinity Photo
...

Thanks.

I would like this feature as well.

Have tried Option+Shift+2 but nothing happens. Running on macos Ventura and M1 pro.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

Thanks Pierre that did it. Awesome.

XnView version

XnView MP MacOSX
Version 1.4.5 64bits (May 10 2023)

Here are my settings

After some more testing, it looks like the xmp file format from Lightroom is the problem here.

- unchanged LR xmp files are not showing in the XnView browser window
- changes to the xmp file from DxO (change rating) updates the rating in the xmp file AND reformats the xmp file. Now the xmp files ...

@xnview I have emailed you example files.
Thanks

As I couldn't find and answer to my problem of reading Lightroom generated xmp files, I am trying it a different way.

Has anyone moved raw files with xmp sidecars (rating, labels, categories) from Lightroom to XnView. If yes, how did you do it.

Thanks.

If I change the rating with BBEdit in the xmp file it shows in the ExifTool data. DxO shows the new rating as well. Only XNView doesn't regognize the change for the .cr3 rawfile. Yes, I selected it and updated the catalog from file.

Menu - View - Update Catalog from Files doesn't change anything

I have exported the metadata for my pictures from Lightroom to xmp sidecar files. XNView is not showing label or star rating from these files. JPG's are fine.

Here is a screenshot of my settings:

Here is an example of the xmp info for the raw file ...
