Unable to locate UI/screen for creating album in MacOS

Post by shiouming »

My environment:
- XnView MP v1.9.2
- MacOS 12.7.6
- Macbook Pro 15" 2015

Under Catalog Filter view, I could see the trees of Album and Categories.

I found the UI (context menu and toolbar button) for associating selected photos to a category, these photos will show up under Categories tree. However I can't find the UI for (1) creating album (2) associating selected photos to an album. Could someone share where this UI located? Thanks.

in Catalog filter pane
- create - right click on Album group
- assign - drag&drop files on Album name

Nothing happens when right clicking "Album" label and icon on my computer. Double click will expand/collapse the empty Album tree though (based on tree icon > change). Probably worth mention, right click works fine in Folder pane and Favorites pane.

Updated title.

Manage to borrow a Windows a machine for testing. The album creation menu works fine on Windows, but not on my Macbook :?

This doesn't appear to be a general issue with XnViewMP — on macOS 15.5, creating albums works as user0 described, at least for me (XnViewMP 1.9.2).

I see. Good to know that at least it works in macOS 15. Too bad my macbook supports only up to macOS 12.
