Categories / Rating and IPTC

[PeterMeier]

Hi all,

I like XnView very much for the rating and category system.
But is there a possibilty to use this functionality with IPTC instead of a central database.
Can the database be exported into the files?

Thanks
Peter

Currently, this is not possible, categories and ratings are stored in the database, only. There is a very related discussion going on which you might want to read and join, see topic external HD archive (multiple PCs) for details.
