Browser - Categories filter - improve filter

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.5.3 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Browser - 'Catalog filter' panel


Suggestion A
improve filter abilities:
  • add Unrated, Unlabeled, Untagged items (eg like in acdsee)
  • split Tag into its own group
  • replace 'All' with 'Clear' button on top
    it does not make sense when you can select multiple filters + 'All'

Suggestion B
merge Catalog filter and Filelist filters and quick search widgets into Filter panel
- rename Categories filter panel to Filter panel
- add combobox to select between Catalog/File list search
- move quick search from File list to panel
- remove File type, Rating (=, ≤, ≥) controls from File list panel

This is good idea. And others from your post.

I propose something more - to add a counter of tagged files to this list, near the options to choose (tagged/untagged). And maybe a counters of colour labels and stars too.
Going forward - counter of tagged files I think should be straight visible in main window in browser (and in active top edge in fullscreen mode)), because it's really important (knowing how many photos are currently choosen). There is so many unused place there. Toolbar - somewhere on right - perfect! Tittle bar too.

There is something in settings>browser>browser>title Bar and fuctions added from list>extra to title bar, but nothing works (bug?), and there is no counters. This place not specially visible, but better this one than no one.
