Help with Filters (Or maybe other solution?)

Post by SomeDutchGuy »

Hey everyone! I'm trying to see if XnView has a way I can effectively manage my workflow, and I figured maybe you could help me come up with a good solution. My images are structured as follows:

Code: Select all

|- img_a.png
|- img_b.png
|- sub-images
   |- img_a
      |- img_a.variation_1.png
      |- img_a.variation_2.png
   |- img_b
      |- img_b.variation_1.png
      |- img_b.variation_2.png
My workflow so far is this:
  • Go through the sample images in the top folder and score them using XnView's 1-5 system.
  • Delete the images I don't like.
But after this, I would like to be somehow able to use a flattened view to see all the variations of pictures I still have in the top folder. The flattened view is really cool, but it will still show all of the original sub images. For example, from the example above, if I keep img_a but discard img_b, then sub-images/img_b/* will still remain and show up in the flattened view.

I'm envisioning a filter maybe, where a condition is:
- Display image in subfolder if its filepath passes a regex match against any image in the current folder
...Or something else. Ideas?
