I have only tested on Windows 8.1.

XnView locks during video thumbnail creation?


No, I would not say during thumbnail creation. It is really a very strange situation:

As said, I was upgrading from 1.0. So I had all thumbnails already created.
Now when I open 1.02/1.01 I can see the browser like normal. All thumbnails are ...

With 1.0 it was working fine.

After upgrade from 1.0 to 1.02 and also trying 1.01, selecting of video thumbnails in Browser does not work anymore.
I can normally select folders and pictures. But not video thumbnails. The don't get marked, categories don't load and XnviewMP stops working (no more ...

Could you please provide some more detail?

Ok, I try to explain more:

To enable Quick Search on categories go to Settings -> Browser -> Tab Quick Search and enable the checkbox where it says Categories (catalog).
Now Quick Search also displays files where the name of the assigned category ...

I don't think this is how it should be:

Search with Quick Search is not case sensitive on file names but it is case sensitive on category names.

So a search for 'wedding' finds 'wedding', 'Wedding' and WEDDING when it is in a filename, but it does not find it when name of the assigned category is ...

Yes.

Can the album tree have collapsible sub items?
Currently imagine having hundreds of albums the tree will become unmanageable.

Weird. I had it, now I don't see it anymore. I need to check what I did to have this error.

Quick search in folder finds files that have the search string in file name and/or assigned category.
Quick search on DB result finds only files that have the search string in file name.

I don't understand, what's the difference between the 2 quick search?


The difference is on which it is ...

I'm not able to reproduce, do you write categories in XMP? sidecar?


This is weird, I have just reproduced it. Categories are only the one from XnviewMP database.
Quick search in folder finds files that have the search string in file name and/or assigned category.
Quick search on DB result finds ...

Some suggestions for ease creating categories:

1. Add a context item 'New category' so that categories can be created via right click in Explorer view. Currently through right click only existing categories can be assigned.

2. In XnviewMP each category is unique, even if names are identical ...

For checking:
1. Select a folder with many images
2. To all images assign a category ('category A')
3. Verify the category has been assigned successfully
4. Now select some images and assign an additional category to them ('category B')
3. Verify categories have been assigned successfully
4. Type ...

Watch different behavior:

1. Go to a subfolder with many images
2. Select all images with STRG + A
3. Assign a category
Result: Category gets assigned successfully

1. In the Categories Filter pane, select many (sub-) categories, so that also many images get shown.
2. Select all images with STRG ...

Is that a problem? From my understanding when a creating thumbnails, the image must be loaded too. So why not combining thumbnailing with hashing?

Albums are like folders with symlinks to files, where you can keep files together permanently, until the Album is removed/cleared out.


From my understanding the idea of albums is simply an additional category like the root categories shown in the categories filter: Rating, Colour Label, People ...
