I'm a new user of xnviewmp. I installed it because I wanted an easy tool to set star rating to my photos and I wanted the rating to be attached to the jpg file and not stored in a separate DataBase. By this way, the rating remains if I copy the photo or use another program.
In the settings, I have enabled the option to export the rate to XMP metadata. I can see that it works because, when I set a rate in xnviewmp and then open the file with Windows File Explorer, it does have the expected rate.
However, I have noticed a problem when I do the things the other way around: I set the rate with another tool. Then I go to xnviewmp and it doesn't see the rate

(whereas the file does have the rate in its properties)
Is this a bug?
Thanks for the help
Regards
Olivier
