XnView Software

If I leave the search fields blank will that work?

Or if I used *.* could that help?

I am looking for some advice on a search term.

I have a folder with subfolders with images in them. I have labelled the images with a headline and a byline tag , yet some of the images are without labels.

I want to use the search feature to find all images that have an empty headline or byline ...

Hi

Does anyone know how to swap IPTC fields?

i.e. I want to put the object name into the headline for 1000 images.

What's the best way to do this?

Hi All

I have a number of images with numbers in the headline IPTC tag.

I often use a program called renamer to order filenames and strip numbers and strings from filenames.

Is there any way to integrate this program into XNView, or does XNView have a feature that allows you to strip IPTC data ...

Great program.

These are two features that I think would make the IPTC experience easier.

1) add filenames to a selected IPTC field.
2) interchange IPTC fields. I.e. you can make headline = object name, or headline ="description".
3) editing the IPTC of Tiff files.

Thanks for your very prompt ...

For JPEG's. I want to put the filename into the IPTC field.

I have a set of files, and I will rename them all, but I want to keep the old filenames in the IPTC data.


How can I do this?

Thanks for your prompt responses to my questions!

Thanks. Is there any way you know how to write the filename into an IPTC field?

Hi

I ran a search for this question, but came up with a lot of old answers.

Is this feature available in the new version?

Would it not be possible to do this, by doing a convert and then running a script that does this swop? I don't know what the script would be though. Anybody have any ideas for this script?

Hi All

I want to add some IPTC data to multiple images.

3) I add ...

Hi

I am looking for a way to remove all pictures in a category, including all sub categories, that have too few pixels on the longest side. It must dump these into a folder called "too small" or I can manually select and remove them. I.e. I want to set the dimensions of the longest side, and all ...

check if a specific IPTC field is completed?

I.e. if i have a lot of photos and I want to ensure that all photos have the object name tag or copyright tag, is there a way to check this without manually looking through each photo and checking that it is complete?

Thanks

Still discovering the ...

That helps immensely!

A shortcoming I have found with exifer is that you can't apply a batch to a root directory and it applies the function to all sub files.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Big up to XNview for this great feature!

Hi

Thanks for the great response.

It worked perfectly, except for the rename. It is a nifty trick not to close the dialog box after conversion!

I just ran resize and it works, but I need to have all the files renamed.

So that when I do a resize for web, I can call the file 100000_web.jpg, and ...

Hi

Does anybody know how to swap all the IPTC fields of a folder?

I have a lot of photos with entries in the wrong fields. I would like to put all entries that are in Object name, into the headline field. How do I do this without doing it manually photo by photo!

Thanks
