XnView Software

Is there a way to change the current designation of color labels (Personal, ToDo, Work etc.) ?

Also, can "Categories" command be added to the pop-up menu in thumbnail view ? I.e. I want to be able to assign categories to photos by right-clicking on their thumbnail vs having to go to "View" menu, it's much easier to do it that way when one has to deal with multiple files.

Finally, it really bugs me when XNview clears the right hand screen if I go to "View->Categories" and I then have to click the "Back" arrow to go to the last folder displayed. The program should stay in the last folder unless I actually click on one of the categories on the left without pre-selecting a file on the right.

I.e. the way I see this working:

selected a file on the right, then checked one or more categories on the left = these categories are added to selected file, the directory on the right doesn't change

clicked on a category on the left - the display on the right changes to show all files in that category.

Thanks !

You can change them in xnview.ini

• Notes et Etiquettes de couleurs dans la RC2
• Changing text for color rating?
• Categories. Comments and questions
• UI-less Settings

(Edited) Two more questions.

1) Is there a way to have text descriptions of color labels show up in right-click menu in Browser window ?

2) I find XNView's Filters indispensable for quick edits of some photos, or quick conversion of raw to jpeg. When I work on 10-15 files among a couple hundred (e.g. vacation photos), I need to apply color labels (or categories) to the files I processed so that I could easily find them later for printing or web posting. However, I can't find a way to apply color label while in single image window - I have to save the file, switch to browser window, find that file and then apply the label. Am I missing something here ? Can you add Categories / Labels to the right click menu in file edit window ? Ideally, the "Apply categories / labels" function should always be available and in the same place regardless of the viewing mode (browser / single image), and I feel the right-click menu is an ideal place for it.

Thank you !

The more I use XNView, the more I appreciate the feature set, and even more the lack of consistent ways to apply Categories and Color Labels drives me nuts...

Please make it into one menu - preferably right click - that can be used in any view...
