Can I Select Multiple Categories to see?

Post by zanosuqui »

Can I Select Multiple Categories to see ???
For example I have these categories.
Dogs, Ocean, City.
I want to see photos that only have the category "Dogs" and "Ocean"
With a check and uncheck or something similar.
Thanks for your help.

Hello:

Did you try to use ( ctrl + L-click ) to select more then 1 category in the filter panel ??

Not because you see the categories that have "A" OR "B" I'm looking for some way to make it "A" AND "B"
In this case "Dogs" and "Ocean"

Yes, Ctrl + Left Mouse button will select multiple categories and display all images that matches any of these categories. I.e. XnView displays all images that belong to category "Dogs" or category "Ocean" or category "City".

FAIK, currently there is no way to display images that belong to all categories, i.e. only images that belong both to category category "Dogs" and category "Ocean" and category "City".

XnView's search allows for combining search criterias with different logical operators (and / or). Search is started using "Tools > Search". But using search is very different to using the category pane and might be too cumbersome for your use case.

Ya, I will create a post in the suggestions section hopefully they can implement my idea.

What is the (Match All ) (Match Any ) switch at the top for.
I tried and it seemed to work for me, Unless i'm seeing something different.

You're right
It's a bit annoying to hit the CTRL could be a simpler way.

Correct, Erixx haxx, the Match>Any and Match>All should do the job. (I didn't know about this feature until now).
