XnView Software

Hi,

I just upgraded from an older xnviewmp (0.76) to 0.81. One of the item in the changelog is:

080: sidecar support

Is there any documentation on what/how to use it?

I opened a directory with all the images having a sidecar: 123.cr2 and 123.cr2.xmp and I do not see the sidecar data in xnviewmp when I view the image ie: keywords,...

Thanks

Syv

What are your settings in Tools » Settings... » Metadata » IPTC & XMP » Keywords?

• feature request: xmp sidecars for RAW files
• Category not set from sidecar if category is empty

If it doesn't work, please send me one file with sidecar?

Is this correct?

Here's both the image and the sidecar (wetransfer.,com):

ok, XnViewMP check for dogs-vancouver-20150930-9350.xmp not dogs-vancouver-20150930-9350.cr2.xmp

I'll modify it...

Thanks for the samples, Syv :wag:

Yes, I think so. At least, that's how I've set up my installation.
When I change the filenames according to Pierre's advice, …

• dogs-vancouver-20150930-9350.cr2
• dogs-vancouver-20150930-9350.cr2.xmp

… things work as expected.

Wonderfull

Thank you

Is it possible for the user to choose whether they need the xmp saved as either 'filename.ext.xmp' or 'filename.xmp'. As it stands, the xmp's are not compatible with Darktable and I can find no settings for either choice in both Darktable and XnViewMP.

Thanks.
