More lines in metadata display?

Post by marianillo »

Hello,

I have just recently began using XnView MP, and in general I'm very satisfied. There's one thing, though, that slows down my workflow:

I always have information about the image in the metadata description field... but when browsing with XnView MP, I'm only able to see the first line in the dc-field of the XMP-tab.

I cannot see the whole description, although the information is there because I can copy it... but having to go this way slows me down in an unbearable way.

Is there a way to allocate more lines to the description field in the XMP metadata tab? This way I could see everything that's written there.

Thank you very much!

Marc

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for a very quick response. Here you have the screenshot.

In the dc>description field you can only see "Stockholm, Sweden, 2021-02-24...", but the whole text in the description is longer.

I wonder if its possible to have more lines, so that I can see the whole text in the description.

Thank you for your help!

Marc

Hello,

I tried through PM, but I haven't been able to attach the file.

I enclose I sample file here as requested. As I wrote in the forum, I can only see the first line of the description field.

I only see "Stockholm, Sweden 2021-02-24..."

and I would like to be able to see the whole text in the Description field. In this case:

Stockholm, Sweden 2021-02-24
Klas är orförande på den nybildade klubben på Scandic Malmen.
Hotellrevyn.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for your response. A solution like a tool tip would certainly help, but being able to see the whole text would be the ideal solution. But, of course, I don't know how difficult it is to implement.

Best regards,

Marc
