Catalog Filter Pane - File count for categories

[Pepelu]

In the linux (ubuntutu) app it is not working.
Should I delete the thumb.db and xnview.db file and let them be rebuilt by the program?

Yes. I thought that's what you said you were going to do in your previous post.

Do you have all the categories saved in the images or sidecars as keywords/subjects, so they'll be re-imported with the images? That way you won't lose anything.

Remember, I tested on Linux and the counts worked, at least when the number of files was small. So start with just a few images and make sure the counts work before importing tens of thousands.

Make a backup of your files before you delete them, just in case.

Hi,

Thanks. All is written on the files, so the nothing is lost.

I done deleted both db files, and started again. First I opened one of the folders with just a few pictures, and the count, for current and recursive doesn't work. It works fine for global.

I have installed the .deb package, not the appimage and this is the release, in case it may help

I guess that I'll just have to live with it.

Can you try the appimage? That’s what I tried and it worked. If it doesn’t work for you, it would seem to be something with Ubuntu.

Well, with the AppImage it works, at least for a few images. Thanks. I will now go all in with all the pictures and see how it goes.

So, problem is kind of solved. I might try again with the deb package now that it works, keeping the config files, as I prefer that option for installations. With the appimage I don't see the xnview icon on the app bar of the system, just a general icon that doesn't identify the program. But I guess that this is really a linux thing.
