Load Key-Word Categories From PS-Elements ???

Post by BuckSkin »

I have an extensive key-word "tags" collection saved to file from my PS-Elements 7

Rather than having to build this extensive category tree all over again, is it possible to load this key-word category "tree" into my XnView categories ?

If this is possible, please explain the procedure.


More questions:

1. Is there a refresh thumbnail command; if so, is it called something else ?

2. I have thumbnails set to display the assigned tags/categories in the text lines underneath the thumbnail; categories that have been assigned from other programs display here as they should; yet, categories that I have assigned to images in XnView do not then display, why and what am I not doing ?

3. How do I write XnView tags and comments into the metadata so that they will be recognized and display in other programs ?

Thanks so much.

Please activate Import XMP subject or IPTC keyword to DB Categories (Tools » Settings... » Metadata » IPTC & XMP Keywords) and use Add folder... (Tools » Settings... » Catalog » Catalog » Cache maintenance) to point XnView MP to the location of your photo collection.
