XnView use from two machines

Post by apaschou »

Hi,

I am using two different machines with XnView MP to manage the photos which are stored on a NAS and. This is therefore seen as a network disc.

My problem is the following: When tagging photos with a new category on one PC (on MacOS X mainly), I didn't find any way to find the images with this categories from the other PC (neither Mac OS X nor Ubuntu). I don't know where the categories that we select for a picture are stored... I thought it was with the picture, but I didn't find any anything. I therefore guess that such information is stored somewhere in a centralized database. With the probable consequence that if the path of my pictures changes, I will probably loose my categories (however I didn't test).

My question is the following: Does it exist any way (even by third party software, script of whatever) to transmit the new categories I create to another PC with XnViewMP so that I can find again the pictures with my categories and even tag new pictures with this categories ?

Thanks for any hint.

I am using XnViewMP 0.51, mainly on Mac OS, but also on Ubuntu.
