As of version 1.5.3, the "annotation" function is only visible under video thumbnails

Post by Jucral222 »

As of version 1.5.3, the "annotation" function is only visible under video thumbnails, but not under folder thumbnails.
I guess it's a minor problem, but it did me a great service when it came to organizing images and videos.

Google Translate, I hope it is understandable. ;)

you means that annotation can't be added to labels under folder's thumbnail?

Thanks for answering. I'll try to explain myself better.
When you use the Edit Comment option from the context menu (by the way, the option is also gone, but can be restored through Settings), you can include annotations on files and folders that can then be seen below the thumbnails.
These annotations are saved in a hidden file named "descript.ion"

To be more specific, let's assume that we have images, videos and folders with comments that are reflected in the "descript.ion" file.

Code: Select all

"Image 2.jpg" Comment image 2
"Video 1.mp4" Comment video 1
"Image 1.jpg" Comment image 1
"Folder 2" Comment folder 2
"Folder 1" Comment folder 1
Until version 1.5.3 I could see them like this.

In later versions, I see it like this.

I have solved it by staying on version 1.5.3, but it is obvious that I would like to keep up with the updates.

Greetings, and thank you very much for carrying out this incredible program.

I just installed version 1.6.2 and the problem is gone.
I can see the annotations as they were until version 1.5.3
Thank you so much.
