Multi image selection won't open for keywords

Post by Phil_Rose »

Hi. Can anyone tell me where the option is to make this stop stripping out my metadata? Thanks!

Bah. It won't show my image from Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9mty9pksyq5s ... 1.jpg?dl=0

It is a message saying 'Field values are not loaded because 'Do not load Field Values' is checked.


Moderator: You need to right-click on the image displayed in Dropbox, select 'Copy image address' and place that link between Img tags:

Maybe this will work. Yours didn't seem to... Image

Thanks! That seems better.

Sorry, in what dialog? If I just say 'OK' then it won't load the field values but I want it to. Where can I uncheck 'Do not load field values'?

Oh, I found it but it still doesn't load the field values. Is that unavoidable?

Sorry for the slow reply. I did notice it after your last comment (thanks for that) and check marked it. So now that dialog does not pop up but when I have more than one item selected the Keywords field shows that there are no keywords applied. Is this expected behavior?
Thanks!

'don't load fields' is not checked, and iptc keywords are not loaded?

I'm sorry to be a numbskull, but I'm unable to find the the check box labelled "do not load field values" in XnViewMP
Ver 1.6.1 (October 2023), so that I can uncheck it and do a batch edit of XMP data.

Thanks in advance
