XnView Software

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Works for me... - same specs as you.

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 ...

For beta 3 the button naming should be changed as follows - both in "Change timestamp" and in "Edit IPTC/IIM" dialog:
[Apply] [Apply to all files] [Cancel]
But what does make 'Apply'? The label is not clear, the user don't know if the file is changed
With 'Save' or 'Write' we know that file is ...

...
Also: I did it "by hand":

Steps:

1. I filtered all files with the category C1
2. Select All
3. I assigned to them "C1_New"
4. I removed from them C1

Done!
I have recently been using this process, and it gives workarounds to achieve rename, delete and merge.

The trick is to remember to do ...

I can no longer reproduce the bug. Changing the times seems reliable and it does not entail vast I/O processing.

I just tried again:
When editing IPTC/IIM data of one image file it's shown in the data pane but not in the IPTC/IIM dialog. I suspect that I'm using the IPTC/IIM dialog in a wrong way.

Here's a screen capture which shows my current problem. When reopening the IPTC/IIM dialog all the fields are ...

I have retested in 0.85 beta 2 (23 March 2017).
I can confirm that:

• the prompts are occurring at the correct time
• the remembered operation seems to work as expected.

...But I think that I found the problem: What is "Always clear all fields" checkbox supposed to do? I noticed that it appears only on multi-selection.

If you open the IPTC dialog on multiple files to change only one field like caption, you need to clear the fields before, else you'll write all ...

In addition, I think "Apply to all files" works better to avoid the initial misconception that m.Th. had here: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=137921#p137921
So, finally I learnt that what „Save All” means ...at least I hope! It means „Save current metadata to all files from selection ...

OS : Windows 7 Pro, x64

Description:
sorting details by metadata causes details list to blank all blob metadata when program restarts.

To Reproduce:

put browser in details mode, showing a range of metadata
click on a metadata ...

Again,Honestly, This "Save to all files" Is Double plural words together and not needed....
Save to files, is the correct way

I don't agree. "All" is more than just plural. "Save to all files" is clearer. (edit: and I agree with Helmut's point in the other thread that clarity is more important ...
