No Refresh, metadata missing

[toyotadesigner]

macOS Catalina 10.5.1

The Refresh button doesn't work

If I save a modified file, the metadata is missing. When I switch to another directory and back the metadata reappears.

That' somehow strange...

file metadata was changed in XnViewMP?

[toyotadesigner]

No, I didn't change the metadata, not in XnViewMP, not in the image editor (PhotoLine).

This also happens if I convert a RAW image with RPP which saves the TIF to the same folder — no EXIF data in the converted file.

[xnview]

but metadata re-appears by restarting Xn?

[toyotadesigner]

Yes, or by changing to another directory and then coming back to where the new image had been saved.

[xnview]

you have this problem only when you save a file in XnView MP, and go back to browser?

[toyotadesigner]

Yes, only in XnView MP

I have XnView MP open, see the thumbnails. Pick a RAW file and convert it with the converter in a small windos, so I still see the thumbnails.

Then I see the new image added to the thumbnail list, but file information is missing. Even a »refresch (F5)« will not show the missing data.

[xnview]

oh it's after converting a file. you convert it with 'batch convert'? or external app?

[toyotadesigner]

External app: RPP — RawPhotoProzessor macOS

But even if I for example scale an image down with an external image editor and save it as a JPEG to the same folder, the data are missing, until I switch directories back and forth.
