But shutter speed is visible if you ...

Not sure if this is a bug, a possible enhancement or a lack of understanding:

I wanted to remove a bracketed number from a group of filesnames e.g.

K5__6317 (10576).JPG -> K5__6317.JPG
K5__6324 (11206).JPG -> K5__6324.JPG

In Batch Rename, I tried:

Replace: K5__#### (#####)
With: K5__####

and ...

I'd like to see a Compare Directories function. At this stage you can only find the same files and see them one at a time, but I was looking for a way to locate the different files.

I had 187 raw files in one directory and 157 JPEGs derived from them in another directory. I had removed some of the ...

Pierre, I've noticed something else about this bug: the mis-sorted files change position every time during the Batch Rename session when I reselect EXIF Date from the drop-down list of sort orders:

Initial opening:

1st EXIF Date selection ...

XnView 1.98.2en

In Batch Rename when you sort by EXIF Date, the first file is out of sequence.

In the example above K5__4303.PEF (Pentax K-5 raw file) is later then the other files below it. This is my second attempt. I'd already untagged K5_4304 ...

I'd like to suggest either a "Zoom to Selection" or "Zoom to Selection (x%)" control. The main use I see of this is to check the accuracy of the current selection, so having the selection covering 80%, 90% or 95% of the window would be helpful. It should be hot-keyed. Perhaps "/" or "\"

Helmut, the script now works. The problem was a corrupted script with high-order ASCII saved as the params for "output( )". The general problem has been instability during batch procession, either closing the program, or in the case I mentioned, actually corrupting the script file. I'm hoping the ...

Sounds like some of my cropping improvement suggestions:

Yes, I noticed that the maintain subdirectory stucture option had to be unticked. Problem I had was that I would untick it, save & overwrite the old script and then, when I reloaded the script file, it was ticked again. This modify/save/reload cycle continued until XnView faulted. Turned out that ...

I tried all 4 permutions before posting:

$\processed
Error creating the file <$\processed\Landscape Test Image.jpg>

$\processed\
Error creating the file <$\processed\Landscape Test Image.jpg>

$/processed
Error creating the file <$/processed\Landscape Test Image.jpg>

$/processed/
Error creating ...

There seems to be a problem using $\processed as the output destination with Windows & XnView 1.96. It only operates correctly with a single file in the batch list. Once there are two or more files in the list it errors on both files. Fully specifying the output destination fixes it.

Thanks for that. It will come in very handy. I think I can edit existing script files to use this string (under Windows):
Is there a way of inserting the date in YYYYMMDD format in the directory name?

Dan.

It would be nice if batch processing could output to a subdirectory off the directory the tag files are located in. Say you are running a batch resize on photos in a directory called C:\Photos1 and then later on run it on C:\Photos2. In each case you want the result to go into a subdirectory called ...

That may be the case, but XnView has a bug. The file info indates that no compression was used, even though it was selected in the JPG saving options.

By the way, typically how much extra gain is there from adding prediction to LZW when compressing photos?

XnView 1.95.4.

When saving a TIFF, LZW compression is not used in "SaveAs" or "Export" even if it's ticked. I tested the same image in FastStone and it did work and the TIFF was about 25% smaller.
