When you say files will be added too, do you mean cached thumbnails? Or are you saying that these files will instantly add new categories to the tree and be available there?xnview wrote:if you browse a directory outside your base path, files will be added too. The use of base path is to not store the full path of images but only a path relative to the base path.3x5 wrote:If I browse to a directory that is outside my base path, and there's existing ITPC data in that directory's images, is XnView going to attempt to add those to my catalog? Because if it doesn't, then it's just caching thumbnails.
It's not a big deal either way. I can manually exclude the other directories in my home folder that have images, without excluding the whole parent folder.
