RC2: Bug in Batch renaming and other bugs

[Mike2005]

@ xnview: first of all I want to thank you for this great improvement of XnView.

I have found following minor bugs:

1) When you search for files and then apply batch renaming to the search results, files are not only renamed but moved to the XnView program folder.

2) Thumbnail details: When you chose the "EXIF: date modified" entry to be displayed, it is only displayed as "EXIF: date modified" when it is the last entry in thumbnail details. Otherwise the "File created date" is displayed instead.

3) Instead of the "File created date" the date of file modification is shown.

4) I'd wish you could add an entry "EXIF: date taken" to the thumbnails details because some raw converters change the EXIF date modified string so it doesn't show the date the photo was shot.

5) Photoshop compatible plugins (.8bf): I tested the PTLens 5.3.4 lens distortion correction filter with the result that after applying it all three RGB color channels are equal so the RGB picture now is looking like a grayscale picture. This problem also exists in release 1.74.

1. Confirmed
2. May have been fixed for RC3 as per http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=1947
3. Confirmed
4. Agreed
5. Confirmed. Not all photoshop plugins works properly in XnView or other apps, unfortunately. I'm not sure it's XnView's fault.

Ok, i'll check

2) Thumbnail details: When you chose the "EXIF: date modified" entry to be displayed, it is only displayed as "EXIF: date modified" when it is the last entry in thumbnail details. Otherwise the "File created date" is displayed instead.
3) Instead of the "File created date" the date of file modification is shown.

Fixed

4) I'd wish you could add an entry "EXIF: date taken" to the thumbnails details because some raw converters change the EXIF date modified string so it doesn't show the date the photo was shot.

EXIF: Date modified is not enough??

5) Photoshop compatible plugins (.8bf): I tested the PTLens 5.3.4 lens distortion correction filter with the result that after applying it all three RGB color channels are equal so the RGB picture now is looking like a grayscale picture. This problem also exists in release 1.74.

Is it possible to have the plugin?

Many EXIF aware softwares change this field to the file modification date (Photoshop, a minor competitor of XnView , does so) thus there's no advantage of "EXIF: Date modified" over the "File modified date" entry.

Is it possible to have the plugin?

The newest release is 5.5, but the problem is the same as with 5.3.4. The red channel seems to be copied to to the green and blue channel.

I've made the change to support search files. So please, make many tests to be sure all is ok now (RC3).

Works good in RC3, I'll test more later...

OK in RC3.

OK in RC3.

Thanks for adding "EXIF: date taken" and ""EXIF: date digitized"!

Seems to be unchanged.
