XnView Software

Hi,
after burning a Dia-Show (automatic CD) there are no descriptions/annotations anymore. Instead the path Information is shown . If I start the Dia-Show vio GO-Button, everything´s all right.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks Jens

Hallo,
nach dem Brennen einer Dia-Show (selbststartende CD) sind die in den Fotos hinterlegten Beschreibungen weg und es wird stattdessen der Pfadname angezeigt. Mit STARTEN im DIA-Show Fenster funktioniert alles.
Was mache ich falsch ?
Danke Jens

I don't create Slide-Shows or Burn CD's with XnView much,
however this might be connected to another bug I reported:

The descriptions are stored in a hidden file named "descript.ion". There is one description file for all the images in one folder.

When displaying your slide show on the computer, you probably have all the images and the description file(s), but most likely the description file(s) are not on your CD. Perhaps the CD burning software did not show and copy the hidden description files.

There should be an option in the CD burning software or you simply set the option in MS Explorer to show the hidden files and folders.

When moving or copying files, XnView (tries to) make sure that the description files are updated and also copied. But when using MS Explorer to copy and move files, you will loose your descriptions. If you mainly use JPG and TIFF files, I recommend to add descriptions and keywords as IPTC information, this information is stored in the image file, not as separate file. Also IPTC is a standard, which is supported by other programs, too.
