Search command is not finding "comments".

Post by josedumoretzsohn »

Although through Quick Search (XN MP 1.4.4) I can find all images containing any comment (previously entered on Edit Command), through a full Search, I cannot. I have tried all possibilities. Can anyone explain me why? I must add that XN Classic 2.51.2 is doing this job perfectly.

in Search dialog you can't search in embedded comment?

Yes. Sometimes the command runs the search operation, but it finds nothing. XN Classic 2.51.2 finds the comments perfectly. Could that failure be caused by code setting. Mine is set in Local. And if I activate UTF-8, the search also does not work.

Here it goes: a file I cannot find "comment".

My search finally succeeded, but a few steps were taken before success, which I think you will want to know:
1) As soon as I read your last post, I tried again, twice, keeping your configuration of Search dialog. Nothing was found.
2) I changed the German version I use to the English version you used. Tried again twice. No positive result.
3) I changed back to my German version, and it finally succeeded. All three files containing "batavos" were found.

I ask, just speculatively: (1) My German XN closing, and the opening and closing of the English version and the reopening of my German version, could these steps have worked as a reinstallation of XN MP? (2) Could the opening of the English version have installed some file, i.e. dll or other, that was missing in the German version?

I thank you for your ever counselling.
