color labels from external programs

[georgm]

hi

i export thousands of images from lightroom as tiffs into one single folder. the images are color labeled and need to be sorted in folders depending on color label. i can do that with bridge, but it takes a long time for bridge to read the metadata and show the color labels. so i thought it might be faster with xnview.
the problem is: xn view reads the "label" text from the embedded xmp info, but it doesn't change any color label in the xnview thumbnail pane.
i have set the labels up so that the actual words match in LR and xnview.
if i manually color-label the image in xnview, the color-label-dot changes, but nothing changes in the xmp "label"-value. so the two don't seem to correspond.

is there a way to readout the xmp-"label"-value and show color labels accordingly in the preview pane?
or a way to at least sort by this value?

thanks

[xnview]

what do you means by color labels in preview pane?

[georgm]

image attached:
you see that in bridge the image has a red color label. this information is stored in the xmp under the value "label".
now i would like xnview to automatically show a red color label for the image (like the image that i labeled from within xnview)

thank you

[xnview]

ok, you would like to show the color label (or rating) on picture viewed, right?
you can't, you have the possibility to show it with information by adding "{Color label}"

[georgm]

yes, i would like to show the color label, that i have applied in lightroom before export (which is stored in the XMP value "Label").

i tried adding a custom line to image information (custom 3: {XMP:Label}), but it doesn't work. it shows "{XMP:Label}" instead of the Label value.
and then as a second step i would need to be able to filter or sort by that value

[xnview]

no use {Color label}

[georgm]

sorry, i didn't mention: i tried {Color Label} too.
both don't work

[xnview]

sorry, i didn't mention: i tried {Color Label} too.
both don't work

oh ok, you would like to have color label in thumbnails label? currently you can't. You have color label (and rating) at the top of thumbnails!

[georgm]

ideally i would see the XMP label with the thumbnail, but any other possibility to be able to sort files by {XMP: Label} will do as well.

but i need to sort by XMP Label! (not by the label that is seen in the first tab "properties" of the info area and displayed at the top of thumbnails)
the files come out of another propgram already labeled in the XMP block.

[xnview]

sort by>Color label
