descript.ion quotation mark surplus
Posted: Sat Oct 25, 2008 4:29 pm
Hi,
I found a somewhat annoying "feature" (bug?) in XnView, when creating descriptions, the filenames are stored between quotation marks into the descript.ion file. Some catalogizer apps are however cannot read the comments from this nonstandard description file format.
If someone creates comments in other apps, like totalcmd or older versions of acdsee, they just simply store the filename then the comment followed by a space.
My typical filenames are like IMG_5622.JPG, so no spaces or other special characters present. That's why I don't understand why XnV stores them like if they were special filenames, like "image of my digital cam 5622". TotalCmd only surrounds these filenames with " " if they needs special handling. Can XnView behave similar? (or an option in preferences?)
