XnView Software

I tried a few examples
For thumbnail labels, these are working for me :
{EXIF:x010F} displays exif Manufacturer
{EXIF:x110} displays exif Model
{EXIF:x112} displays exif orientation
but with {EXIF:x10B} i can't see anything

It seems that the values that works are the same as the ones we can get in ...

Do you want to delete all xmp tags ?

Did you try Tools>Metadata>Clean> (select xmp checkbox) ?

As far as changing dates earlier than 1970, why is that a problem?

You can change the three Exif dates as you want

But the file attributes, managed by your O.S. should not contain file created or file modified dates prior to the invention of computers
This can cause anomalies and damage files ...

Maybe {EXIF:Modified Date [m/d/Y H:M:S]} ?


Sorry it was a mistake, I was remembering file modified date instead of exif field :(

Then I tried (Custom) {EXIF:Date [Y-m-d_H-M-S]} , it seems to be working.
(Name of this field for ExifTool = exif:ModifyDate without space )
In XnViewMP, it's ...

Maybe {EXIF:Modified Date [m/d/Y H:M:S]} ?

Hello,
When you set these options :
Checked "Create EXIF metadata if needed" and "Force the update in case of anomaly."
XnviewMP calls ExifTool (external AddOn) instead of using it's own procedures; so it takes a while to load ExifTool (maybe for each photo) , and it seems that ExifTool is a bit ...

Metadata can be added to photos to facilitate their management.
There are basically three families, from the oldest to the most recent: EXIF, IPTC, XMP.
The EXIF metadata are now ...

We will have to wait for the next version

When you open a photo by double-clicking, you enter "edit mode" and the function is not accessible.
Stay in the "Browser" tab, select thumbnails, and then you can access the menus.

Setting "Export categories ..." in Tools > Settings > Metadata , was a safe way to backup your work.
Categories , star ratings, color labels would have been written as iptc or xmp metadata, in addition to the catalog ( categories database)

If this option was not set, you can try Tools > Settings ...

It was possible in earlier versions...

... :? It was not different in earlier versions.

We must first create the folder that will receive renamed photos
Then using \folder in the new name will move photos

ex :
You want to move 2021-08-03-photo01.jpg into 2021 subfolder
- create the subfolder ...

It was possible in earlier versions...
If you can use exif dates, you can try "Import and sort"
Otherwise you can call exiftool... If needed I can help for this in 2 or 3 days

Maybe [^l]\.jpg
means : any string except those containing " [no l] followed by .jpg "
(the backslash neutralizes the special meaning of dot)
[^l]\. works as well
but it will also hide any photo name endind by l.jpg

For further information
I discovered that the caret works only if the position of ...

The task would be to start with And get this ? And what about filenames ?

A first step that I can suggest (if you are using Windows)
This step will create a folder name with the name of the selected photo, and move the photo into it.

Create an "Open with" entry for Exiftool (see https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=43560 )
with this parameter for tests :
-k ...

I'll think about it some more ...
What is the structure of the file names that contain thumbnail ?
Depending on the place where "thumbnail" is located, the answer can be easy


Another solution is to filter files containing the criteria, and "tag" them. (right click ... tag )
Then select all files ...
