catalogue

Post by delirium »

I would like to know how I can transfer my fotos on an external hard disk without losing my ranking, tags,... i can transfert my file with Xn View on a hard disk. But how can i save the catalog if my pc crash? it would be necessary to save the catalog with my foto´s? where can i find it on my computer?

J´aimerai savoir comment je peux transférer mes photos sur un disque dur externe sans perdre mon classement, tags,....je peux transférer á partir du programme. Mais comment sauver le catalogue en cas de crash de mon pc? il faudrait sauvegarder le catalogue avec mes photos? oú se trouve-t´il sur mon ordinateur?

thanks a lot for your help.

in settings>Integration>Paths, click on 'open catalog location', you have xnview.db

If you move all files another drive, perhaps it's better to change the path in the db (i can do for you)

Thank you for your answer,

I install another version...i put my foto´s on a hard disk, it work! But when i simulate a crash (só make a copy of xnview mp nomade on a hard disk, i erase xnview mp nomade of my pc, and reinstall a copy) a information, ranking, disappear! I think that i´m near to find a solution.... Normally it will be ok this approach?

Thanks a lot for your work
