XnView Software

XnViewMP 1.9.8
Windows11 (25H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Browser - album


Issue A
its possible to add folder into Album (via drag&drop), but
in Metadata menu this option is grayed when folder is selected


Issue B
its not possible to add object into parent Album

Issue C
its possible to drag&drop into Album from win file explorer, but this operation leads to impossible copy dialog
so it either should
- auto-import object into Catalog and add it to Album OR
- just block this operation completely (show cursor w/ ⊘ prohibited symbol)
