XnView Software

Before you buy another computer, why not download XnConvert? It is a stand alone version of the batch converter
Then ditch the multi processor setting and use task manager / DETAILS to set the setting to below normal. You can play with the AFFINITY also to limit it to the top 2-3 cores. Why all this ...

If you go to Tools > Settings > Integration -- Paths you should be able to place all required files including the .ini file and various catalogues in the XnView MP folder on the drive... :D


I want to move from the installed program to the portable. I launched the portable and everything was ...

Here are two of them that I use a lot. The resize then move to a folder. Add some categories to your test files then run these
You don't have to "move" it, just the resize will strip your categories. This is new behavior
Thanks in advance

I just added the suggestions and no difference
It used to work correctly. I would edit the photos, add the categories then resize and move them with the batch updater. When I checked them in the receiving folder, the categories were still there.
Here are my settings changes that do not seem to work ...

Here is the screenshot

There are macro programs out there that will record your keystrokes and let you assign a key combo to execute. You can make some really intricate macros

Post one that is giving you fits. I would guess attaching it rather than inline would be best

Synchronize Folders removes all the orphaned files.

I use the batch converter to resize and move JPG files (and if needed convert to JPG)
If you take a graphic and add categories then use the batch converter, the categories are stripped when you chek them at the destination folder

When I create the second profile, the ...

If you go to Settings / General you can UNtick "Only allow one instance of XnView"
Then you can open a second instance, tile them then do your bulk moving etc.

This may introduce problems with any categories or other information in the file. I don't KNOW that but you should watch for it as you have ...
