Re: 1.9.5: Rating filter does not return all matching photos from root folder of large collection
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:54 pm
Hi All
I don’t remember any errors at that time.
However, I tried again the import, and twice I had a partial import due to an XnView MP crash.
I have reported the issues in the dialog.
It seems suspicious..
I am trying again now (with Windows sleep/suspend disabled).
In this case, I can find the image if I filter directly inside its subfolder.
And after viewing it, I can then find it also when filtering from the root folder.
Yes I use base path.
Thank you All for the support
This operation was already mentioned and performed.michel038 wrote: Fri Nov 21, 2025 10:44 pm Did you try to renew the whole catalog ?(only if your ratings and other tags are saved as metadata )
- Save a copy of xnview.db file before starting XnV
- Settings Metadata : ensure xmp import options are enabled
- Settings Catalog : delete all
- Settings catalog : add folder (select the parent folder for your entire set of photos)
- Wait (about 15 min for 10 000 photos to be read ...)
- - The catalog should be complete.

(In my case, a very large collection with TBs of images and videos.)
do you use 'base path' in Settings>Catalog?
