XnView Software

You can (and I strongly recommend) writing the ratings metadata to the image file (or a sidecar according to your preference). (See Settings->metadata). That way, you can reconstruct your DB should it every become lost/corrupted. As far as I know you would need to manipulate the database file yourse...

The only thing would be how a Folder/Directory is defined. It applies to whatever is selected: zero or more folders plus zero or more files. I suspect that applying it to selected items is why the Windows explorer has it under edit. However, windows explorer is also inconsistent because delete and ...

Currently these entries are in 'Edit' menu, some users ask for 'File' which seems more logical What do you think? That refers to browser - for an image window these options appear under File , and in that context it makes more sense that way than under Edit . For the browser window it seems to me t...

Version 0.87 beta 1 - all my test thumbnails now look like they should (after waiting for them all to be rebuilt!). However , the 4-in-one folder thumbnails still have the problem. This is even if I visit the lower folder first, allow the correct thumbnails to be cached and then visit the folder abo...

working very well now, even network mapped drives where windows explorer sometimes had trouble.

confirm problem is fixed in 0.87 beta 1.
Thank you

yes.

From looking at how the DB behaves, I guess it might also happen if other software changes metadata between stopping and restarting xnviewmp.

update: I started with a blank DB and stepped through the process, saving the db each stage. The problem seems to be that when the large block of captions is written to, the IPTC/XMP data is updated in the file, but the metadata in the DB is not. When I restart XnviewMP it scans the modified files a...

Hello Pierre, I can still reproduce on 0.86, x64 on Windows 7. Sometimes ! I have done some experimenting and it seems to be reproducible under the following conditions. I have a folder with 160 jpeg images. Select a number of files, more than 10 is needed - 14 or 15 seems to make it fairly reliable...

In my case, it seems to be MsMpEng.exe (part of the MS antimalware service) that is chewing up all the cpu. Slow startup time is around 35 seconds :!: At a guess, it might be related to the fact that my test install is not under "Program Files", so the scanner assumes less, or it might be some weird...

I use a layout with folder list on left, image file listing in the middle and categories list on the right. Both the folder and the categories list are each about 10% of full screen width. As I narrow it, the folder and categories list panes stay the same number of pixels wide, while the file listin...

This may or may not be related, but I have been noticing some very slow startup with 0.85b2. I do not see any problem with v0.84, but v0.85b2 seem to take more like 20 seconds to fire up occasionally . As far as I can tell, it happens the first time after I resume from hibernation, and sometimes aft...

My preference would be

1. Apply to current Image
2. Apply to all Images
3. Cancel,

but whether it says "File" or "Image" I have no strong opinion.


What do others think?

...Is it "Details" view or "Thumbnails+Details" view? Details - one line per file- see screenshots. I have 4 installations of xnviewMP, all 64-bit, each with their own ini file, db, etc 0.84 dark theme (normal working version) 0.84 test - default theme 0.85 beta 1 0.85 beta 2 All show the bug. Even...

Works for me... - same specs as you. (Sorted by ShutterSpeed.) Hmm, obviously depends on something else as well. :? Not worth putting much effort into, as it's a simple enough step to make it display properly. For one last test, try enabling all columns and retest. In my case, the initial list appe...
