XnView Software

Hi there,

I am extensively using Categories. I often revise my categories, for example fixing occasional typos or rename them for more clarity.

I accidentally noticed that the IPTC contains keywords which are no longer part of the categories tree. These keywords were once part of the category tree ...

Hi,

XNview MP 0.94.2, W10 Professional

I was searching for a while the forum, but couldn't find an answer (people usually want to move their pictures and not the db).

My xnview.db file is 87MB and is located on an older HDD. At the moment and when I work with categories, adding/removing keywords ...

I have another issue, which might be connected to this one. I couldn't find a way to reproduce it, but seems to work very similar to the above one, so I assume it is connected.

Background info:
I have a very long list of of Categories, multiple levels, 2000+ keywords. The exported txt is 42KB with ...

I was thinking about something similar, but with more relations and multiple words.

For example list all pictures, which have "Summer" OR " Vacation" AND "South-East Asia" but NOT "Bali" NOT "Lombok".

I didn't think about how it could be done UI-wise, and honestly I'm not sure how often I'd use ...

i can't change this behavior


If you can't change the mouse click behavior, that's OK.

How about changing the tree behavior? If the window wouldn't refresh, the mouse cursor wouldn't move away and wouldn't cause the problem.

Basically it should work as it does now when the user is not at the ...

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Is it not possible to fix this?

I really hoped it is a small issue with an easy fix, as it took me months to figure out where those unwanted categories came from to my photos.

My steps weren't really good, I missed a reproduction step. Here is the requested video:

Hi Pierre,

this will be a bit hard to explain, but it is completely reproducible.

Edit: updated this post with the video I made below.

Steps to reproduce:
Create several categories (10 or so).
Create subcategories within categories (2nd ...

Hi Pierre,

these are probably hard to implement, because it was developed in a different way, so I'm OK if they are not doable. I'd like some UX changes for Categories.

1) If I select a category in Categories window, let me use F2 to rename/edit it (similar to photos). And/or long click to rename ...

I completely agree. It happen a lot of time to me.
I vote for a confirmation dialogue box for moving an coping by drag and drop.

Only if it is optional.

Steps to reproduce:
Have some categories
Add some categories to photos
Select 2 photos (ctrl+click on two photos) - now you see the mix of categories in the Category Sets window.
Click on again the photo you selected 2nd - the photo is selected now, the selection disappeared ...

Awesome, thank you!

Sorry if this is already implemented, jn that case, please point me there. (that can happen, this post actually had 3 suggestions, but then I checked XnView again and found 2 suggestions already implemented.) :)

In the Category window, the Categories has a Search field. I'd like if this search ...

On the upper right I'd need Categories, while I have Category Sets in the lower right (or vice versa). You can't do this atm, because the Category and the Category Set goes to the same window. The Properties can stay with the Categories (swap between them).


Categories and category sets can be ...

Thanks for the answer.

Yes, but with one change:

On this layout all the Categories and Category Sets would always be accessible, so it would be ideal for this kind of work. The Creation of new Category Sets could happen in the bottom right window (for example by a right click ...
