category to iptc

[obelisk]

This was requested so long ago that I've lostt he thread.

Is it ever going to be added? I thought it was going to 1.95 but that and the next has come and gone.

This time, I have 8000pics taken on a 10 day trip over 5 states, 8 cities, 20+ locations. I want to know the place and day of each pic. One way would be, currently they are stored by day. You would tag each day and save it to iptc. You can then move pics into folders by place. You then add tags for place to iptc. There, done in 5min.

The current way it'll take me over 3hrs to tag it all by day states, cities, locations. And if I lose the db my time is wasted. Is there any point of using category.db at all?

As a programmer I know this feature is easy to code - it'll probably take you 5min to add the function calls. What's probably stopping you is that the hard/annoying part is doing the interface and error checking. As a frustrated user of xnview I urge you to more seriously consider this request - there were about 20 ppl on the old threads, and that translates to I don't know how many 'silent' users in real world.

Currently i'm working on an experimental feature for XnViewMP that synchronise iptc keywords with DB

will it be added to the windows ver? We don't need it to sync, just a copy to/from iptc commands in a menu somewhere. Since MP is still in beta we really want this in the other versions.
