XnView Software

should I enable thumbnail caching, or not?
if not, what is the effect with regards to the speed of XnViewMP? (Does it matter?)
Personally, I always disable thumbnail caching, in every program and OS, so it wont take up space (and, on SSD/flash memory, to avoid frequent instances of writing to it ...

Okay thanks. No problem. Will use Directory Opus to rotate those images.

BTW: I can open the XnViewMP browser, rotate there (seems okay in the browser), double click the file, to get back into the viewer and click on save. Can't find a save button in the browser.

As the title of this thread says, from privacy point of view:
- why are they listed?
- how to avoid it?

Thanks.

Viewer Mode - Rotate buttons - clockwise and counterclockwise - are greyed out.

How come?

Thanks.
BTW: not browser mode they are -not- greyed out

What is listed under "Directory" (Settings > Catalog), where is that stored? Do I need that info?

How to change the default date-time stamp format when renaming files?

see screenshot

from: _yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss
to: -ddmmyyyy hhmmss

Maybe this is set in the .ini file under [Timestamp] ?

date=@Variant(\0\0\0\xe\0%\x89\xd1)
time=@Variant(\0\0\0\xf\x2\xf8\xcd\xa0 ...

Up front: I use XnViewMP more or less as it is: as a viewer.
So, I am not an expert.

I am looking for 'Help' on Tools > Settings > Catalog and Tools > Settings > Catalog > Enable Thumbnail Caching.
Where can I find it?
For what is it used?
What is being stored?

Background of these questions: I had ...

This is on Windows 10 x64 19045.3208 (AFAIK the latest built).

This is the first time that I selected 'Run XnViewMP' immy after the install. Normally I leave that option remains deselected, as well as the option 'Visit website', i.e. both deselected and [Finish].

Regret I can't tell about ...

After installing and selecting run XnViewMP - I got a Error "Code 740"
Tried it twice, same error.

Maybe something to do with admin. rights?

Help about shows the right (updated) version though.

Ah, right, there it is...
thanks a lot.

Thanks.
Within Tools, I am afraid I don't have no Metadata>Edit, etc.
So far I r-clicked on the photo, properties, then selected EXIFTools

BUT...
I just 'discovered' under Tools > Open GPS location in > Google Maps.
It then shows the 'Google format' !

Great !!
I wasn't aware of it.

Matter ...

At best I can extract GPS location like "52 deg 9' 16.70" N, 15 deg 23' 13.49" E

I would like to get the 'Google format' like: 12.345678, 12.345678
When pasting the 1st coordinates, Google returns that it can't find it.

If it is not possible right now, maybe as a new feature, to add an option ...

THANKS for the tip!
I see, I should use ctrl-shift-C (Copy image content)

As for just quickly 'View' an image, so far I used another viewer.
In the other viewer, ctrl-a/ctrl-c worked as ctrl-shift-c in XnViewMP.

Anyway, thanks again!

Right now, after ctrl-A / ctrl-C from within XnViewMP,
when pasting into Outlook, it will show as an attachment, not into the message body.

How to have the image pasted into the message body, i.e.as a picture between text?

Probably there is something in settings, but, frankly, I don't know.

Thanks!

I know... I know,
this is an extremely late reply...

Every now and then I was looking for the context menu solution.
Didn't know why it did not work, but assumed it would work in some next release.

Then I found your post.

Anyway, thanks!! for the your solution.

Really super.
