How can we reproduce ?

If you use 'Merge data', is it working?

Previous versions
When a single photo is selected, it seems that using "Load template" makes "Keep Original Value if New Value is Empty" ineffective.
Not only keywords are deleted, but also the other fields that are empty in the template.

XnViewMP 1.5.0
When you choose your template to load ...

"Keep and Add New Value(Keywords and Supplemental Categories)" is CHECKED

"Keep Original Value if New Value is Empty" is CHECKED

"Replace Only if Original Value is Empty" Not Checked

This has followed me through several versions.

Thanks for this new feature.

I checked this in 1-5-0 beta 1 and could see no difference than in the behavior of all previous versions - unless there is something I am not seeing or doing right.

Thanks.

UPDATE: I just ...

Thanks, everyone; I got this figured out due to your help.

The additional issue with Edit XMP was fixed in b2, as it was meant to be. In b3, this is still OK, so it could be considered as fixed, I believe. Only tested on Windows.


Thank you for testing this issue.
I just now got around to checking it in beta 1 and was unaware that I was behind in my ...

The "beta" versions are portable version and doesn't install and launches with the xnviewmp.exe file



I think that ZIP versions cannot be installed but can be run by double-clicking on the xnview.exe (?) file in the extracted folder... :D

Edit: Thank you Franky... :D


Does this not ...

I just now downloaded the Zip-file XnViewMP 1-5-0 Beta 1 windows64.

Once un-zipped, I have a bunch of individual files and no installer.

Thank you.
