Set Rating not remembered for newly created files in directory

Post by md1999 »

XnView MP: 1.9.5 64 bit
OS: Windows 64bit

When a new file is created in a directory that XnView is currently browsing, any Set Rating settings are not remembered.

Effect: After setting the Rating of a newly created file that appeared in the XnView browser, browsing to a different directory, then browsing the original directory again, the previously changed Rating for that file will have been lost.

To reproduce:
1. Browse a directory in which another program, like ComfyUI is actively generating new images.
2. When a newly created image file appears in the XnView directory browser, select that new file and set its Rating. Use either Metadata -> Set Rating -> Poor..Excellent or Ctrl+1..Ctrl+5.
3. In XnView, browse to a different directory, then back to the original directory.
Actual behaviour (bug): The Rating assignment for the new file will not be present. :bug:

Expected behaviour: The Rating assignment for the new file will be present.

I'm not able to reproduce, what do you have in Setting>Metadata?

How interesting...
I'm attaching the info from all of my Metadata settings.
Thanks

do you change rating before file is fully written?

No, I wait until the file is completely written.
I also observe the same behavior if I assign ratings to multiple new files that have appeared in the browser pane.

It definitely occurs for the three file types I create from ComfyUI: .png, .mp4 and .mov.

I found this workaround:
If I use the Refresh function (F5) before assigning the rating, the rating is remembered.
