XnView Software

I want to change the folder that XnView first opens up to a different one, how do I do that?

Thanks for that XnTriq interesting reading. Has he done any other interviews that you know of?

Is there a history of XnView anywhere? No i don't think, why are you interested? Well I think XnView is a great program and I'm always interested in how these things come about. Why it was started? I don't know :-P Was it a college project, did you have a lot of images that needed organising or did...

Is there a history of XnView anywhere?

When it was started?
Why it was started?
What was the first operating sysytem it worked on?

The Wikipedia article on XnView is a bit bare on details and I like to flesh it out a bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xnview

Checked last night and can only find two files out of twenty-two that were renamed. However I was able to rename/replace and the backup files but did it as two separate actions.

Thanks XnTriq only coped your message now

I think this would be a handy feature to have. I would look for a photo that I know I took with a certain camera but wouldn't have a clue when it was taken. This way I could narrow down the search.

Thanks for that interesting and informative reply, I won't try and quote you here :) It'll be interesting in a year or two to see how well XnView has developed. I might it a very exsiting product as its the only free application that really atempts to be a descent DAM for amateur photographers. I fi...

Hadn't thought of that. Will check. Thanks.

It would be very handy to have a progress bar when writing keywords to multiple photos to know when the work is done. At the moment I have to listen to the whir of the harddrive to know when its finished working. The same for renaming please.

I did a batch rename on some photos today and they disappeared! I couldn't remember what folder I was in so I did it on a another lot of photos (40), this time I backup them up. just as well because they disappeared. This as you can guess is a very serious problem. I refreshed the folder and searche...

Thanks Pierre, sorry about that.

Just curious but whats missing from XnView that you would find in a "professional" DAM product?

Don't think so, might see all pasted keywords as one long "word". I don't know if they can be separated by commas etc.
