XnView Software

ok, then we consider solved the issue.

With the option "Import XMP subject or IPTC keyword to DB Categories" checked, it works.

The strange thing is that before it worked with this option UNchecked. May be the bug was before?
Anyway, now it works.
Thanks

Problem not solved:
I have done: Select all JPG -> View > "Update catalog from files"
You can see as well in the "Categories" panel as in the Category set in Assigned, nothing has been imported. With this configuration:

XnViewMP v0.89
Hi
By default the shortcut to show the Alpha is the simple key "M" , but the simple keys (without Ctrl+, Shift+ or Alt+) are, most of time, keys that could be assigned for the Categories assignment:

If I assign M as a Category shortcut, it doesn't works ...

Thank you Pierre.
J'ai hâte de tester la version Beta.

I am sorry for the previous illusion that I could give you. :?
There is a problem and I have identified it:

If I go in -> Tools > Settings > Browser > Metadata
And the first option: "Import XMP subject or IPTC keyword to DB Categories." is unchecked , then no Categories are imported from the xmp ...

OK, I solved the problem, it's up to me:

I just do something that until now had worked for all previous versions and that apparently it doesn't works for this version:
In order to have my XnViewMP always as I like, I saved in a folder the content of Settings folder (%appdata%\XnViewMP), in a ...

I tested now, this problem was already present in the v89 ...

XnViewMP 0.89 64 bit
OS: Windows

Since the 0.89 XnViewMP version can not read the keywords from the XMP sidecar files.
In the info TAB at the XMP section, but when I select the files and I do:

Menu> View "Update catalog from files", no keywords are imported.
I Mean, in the Category Set window ...

I just discover that this icon is already in the brand new version 0.89.
The icon is very similar to mine, then is perfect !

I consider the topic solved and closed.

Good idea. +1

Hi guys
I noticed that it is missing a very important icon, the " Levels ". If I add Levels on the ToolBar it appear only the name.

Hello Keith Curtis
