Re: 0.61: Rating & Colour labels dissappear

Do you have a view tab opened?

I did not have an image view tab opened at any stage of the tests . I just start XnViewMP (in browser mode), browse to the target folder and work on images from the browser's detailed listing.
I think it is the default arrangement of windows: folders, image list ...

Re: 0.61: Rating & Colour labels dissappear

Here's a bit more debugging.

I opened SQLiteExpert on the XnView.db file, selected a view of the Images table where FolderID equalled the one I was checking.

If I refresh the DB view after changing rating and colour, then I see the new values in the db table as expected.

When I leave the ...

Re: 0.61: Rating & Colour labels dissappear

It is not just having a view window open that triggers the problem.
I can always reproduce the problem - in fact I have never not had the problem on two Win-7 x64 systems. (and now an XP system as well)

I initially installed my first copy of MP starting at v0.61 and started playing with how the new ...

0.61 histogram scaling and appearance

MP v0.61, Windows 7 - x64.
default browser view

Axis scaling:
When the histogram is in the "Info" window it seems to be locked to a fixed aspect ratio for no good reason
For wide windows it pads the histogram to the right with the background colour. This means we no longer have any reference as ...

Re: Very important: Metadata V2 for 0.70 (EXIF, XMP, IPTC et

Start a new thread and put a clear use case for this
OK - will first do a new default install on another PC, in case I have messed up settings.

Aha! An "edit" window. Fair with me. Sometimes is better solution and perhaps easier to implement. In fact, IIUC, you mean a 'Conflict Resolver' window ...

Re: Very important: Metadata V2 for 0.70 (EXIF, XMP, IPTC et

I am still confused by this reference to RCK as IPTC namespace - I can find no entry for Rating or colour in IPTC.
Think that there are some tables in XnView's DB which will export their data according to the standards in some files. RCK is already there. Exporting to XMP/IPTC of these things is ...

Re: Very important: Metadata V2 for 0.70 (EXIF, XMP, IPTC et

Thanks for taking to time to explain...

...Because only in corner cases one will submit queries which will force the program to search in BOTH m1 and m2 (their scope is very different) and hence we will have an important speedup.
Yes, I agree that my searches would fit that pattern, not needing ...

There is another possible work-around. You could change the EXIF to little-endian with ExifTool...

Thanks Phil,
that's useful to know. I checked a few of my older panoramas, when I wasn't trying to be so careful about what got overwritten - I had simply used PhotoME to export/import the entire ...

Yes, I have some samples reduced in size - less than 2MB total. But the directions in the "bug reporting guidelines" sticky just say send to "image".

Re: Best way to use IPTC for detailed photo metadata?

I think IPTC caption and Keywords are the best available options at the moment. These can be listed as "title" and "tags" respectively in windows explorer.
They are both indexed in Picasa and can be used for searches.
The search on windows-7 does not seem to index them readily - I have it set to ...

Canon Makernotes and byte ordering

Hi,
I have a situation where makernotes are not being displayed by XnView in images I manipulate with exiftool - I saw it first in v1.99.4, and it is the same in v1.99.5.

background :
For panoramas, I shoot raw (Canon EOS), convert to 16-bit tiff, run through Hugin, Photoshop and then finally ...

Why not choose a GPS devoice that records geo info to photos automatically...
That solution would be OK if you were just starting, and it suited your purpose.
In my case, I already have cameras and lenses for which that option is ridiculously expensive, and I already have a more capable GPS ...
