New insert tags: <Categories>, <Rating>, and <

Post by foxyshadis »

Is it too late to ask for <Categories>, <Rating>, and <Label> tags, to go with the new features? I have no idea if implementing them is as easy as just exposing the relevant variables or not.

For categories, I was thinking a comma-separated list might be best, unless anyone has a better idea.

Edit: Perhaps also <RatingStar>. I wasn't sure what the best way to do it is, but perhaps using Unicode black star (U+2605) and white star (U+2606), if you can interrupt the text output to switch to Arial Unicode MS and back. But that's pretty messy.

One script, one font…

:) Hello !
…but perhaps using Unicode black star (U+2605) and white star (U+2606), if you can interrupt the text output to switch to Arial Unicode MS…
• Unfortunately - AFAIK - C+ programming supports only one font per script… :|
• Moreover, this couldn't work under Win9x, I guess…

- So, bitmaps can do the trick. But the best could be that XnView supports configurable external bitmaps libraries, like I invoke THERE and in other messages above in that same thread…
- Hence, everybody could choose the look s¦he wishes…
