XnView Software

Well, a year has gone by with NO comments, so perhaps it's only me that would appreciate:

- An easy way to select a RANDOM selection of images from a folder (and subfolders_
- To enable those randomly selected images to then simply be copied to another location (memory card, digital photo frame ...

Yes tagging is only available in browser mode
Is there an alternative to do what I am trying to do (skim through a set of images in View mode, and "mark" some of them for later burning/copying??)
Why don't you use the browser/fullscreen view?
I was struggling to see what you had in mind here ...

Is there an alternative to do what I am trying to do (skim through a set of images in View mode, and "mark" some of them for later burning/copying??)

I am looking to plough through lots of images and pick out some of them for burning to a CD/DVD

What I was going to do was browse though them with the image viewer, and tag the ones I want to burn - then I'd just copy the tagged ones to my burner program

BUT

I can't see how to tag images from ...

Now works like a charm

Thanks

PS Any chance of you considering THIS request? http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... dom#p81387

I'm copying files from almost full DVDs, as you can imagine, even on new machines, moving 4Gb of stuff does take a "while"

I'm in the process of copying my wifes scanned 35mm pictures from DVD to a USB drive for easy access

The copy process works fine, but I am used to seeing a "progress bar" so at least I know something is happening - is there one in Xnview? If there is, I can't find it....

Thanks

OK, been thinking about this, and actually it would be acceptable if you could just add an extension to the Edit.Select menu entry

Instead of just Select.None and Select.All you could have Select.Some leading to an additional dialog where you could define what "some" means. Could be random ...

I don't THINK this is possible, but I am sure it would be a neat feature

I have a couple of digital photo frames and many (many) thousands of image files

What I would like to do is provide Xnview with a list of images (perhaps a folder or a group of folders) and ask it to RANDOMLY select images to ...

Hi!

But I have it in View mode! :shock:

It works, too. I just deleted an image in View mode using that button to verify that it does indeed work.

Indeed, it does work but ONLY if you specify an icon to go with the ...

But you cannot specify bitmap files for getting icon graphic.
But you CAN specify an icon file for the button image! For the viewer and the browser main toolbar, the icon you select should be 24x24.

There are lots of good-looking icons online... or you can create your own. One approach would be ...

I'm the one Helmut was helping with this

It seems if you select an icon from an icon file, all is OK, but it you let it default to the cmd_Delete icon (the red "X") then somewhere the command gets lost and your new button appears as a seperator. If you then view the toolbar customisation you can ...

Thanks (and thanks for realising that there may be a bug)

If I go through your process but then go BACK afterwards, the icon I added that is now a seperator has NO command associated with it

If I change that to be cmd_Delete (again) but this time specify an icon (I just chose one at random from ...

When I am in browser view, I have a Delete button (the red X) to delete the currently selected image

BUT when I open an image, the only way I can see to delete the current image is menu File.Delete - I can't see a delete icon anywhere
