I know that default one.

In Browse mode, I hide the Toolbar and keep the File List Toolbar.
I can not find an option to modify the File List Toolbar.
Where is that option ?

Thank you.


Right click on the toolbar, click Customize...

Halo.

The currently available:
"Fit image to window, large only" makes a very long but narrow image hard to see/read.
"Fit image to windows width" is not good for small images display.

So, do you think I need "Fit image to window width, large only" ?

If yes ...

First of all, thanks a lot for the new version, Pierre. XnView MP begins to shape up pretty nicely! :D
I'd like to see the possibility to write xmp sidecars when adding keywords or color tags to RAW files. At the moment, my RAW converters don't see the keywords or tags (neither PhotoNinja nor ...

This used to be a manual process... I will test it.

Be sure to have the correct settings in Tools | Settings | Metatada and report back your findings.

First, index with NOCASE collations the desired fields:
create index Folders_PathName_Nocase_Idx on folders(pathname COLLATE NOCASE);
create index Images_Filename_Nocase_Idx on Images(Filename COLLATE NOCASE);
Then, when one ...

We need to have the present Pathname field to be normalized in lowercase
I think that we need to have another field with the original path (if we want to display somewhere - eg. in the Catalog pane)

1. Do you know that XnView MP automatically exports/imports the metadata stored in XMP files?
(or at least it should - I didn't check extensively. AFAIS I see that it imports them automatically...)

Why this solution doesn't fit to you?

Please add GUI support for Albums/Collections.

The DB backend is ready from 0.60.

Steps for GUI support:

1. Add in the Categories Tree before 'Categories' root node another one root node saying "Albums " and add as child nodes to it all rows to be found in

select AlbumID, AlbumName from ...

Please change the extensions of the databases to . xndb (the xnview.db) and . xnth (for the thumbs.db)

Of course, the proposed extensions are subject to discussion.

In any case do not leave them as .db

Reasoning:

In this way we can automatically search, recognize, open and register in OS as ...

Please add support for WebP as internal format for thumbnails in thumb.db

Reasoning:


Much better compression than JPG/PNG.
Much faster compression than JPG (it supports natively all the CPU cores)

This will speedup the thumbnail creation, thumbnail reading and will save disk space ...

Thanks very much for your helpful answer but unfortunately this is not what I need. Your method would change the size of all my picture thumbnails which is not what I want since they haven't changed with the upgrade. No, what I need to change is the thumbnail for FOLDERS which are displayed above ...
