XnView Software

Batch rename :

{xmp:title} does not work BUG #1 (Edit XMP, "Document title" field)
- {iptc:Objectname} is working


{xmp:creator} does not work BUG #2 perhaps because the type of this field is LIST
( Edit XMP, Description tab, "Author" field )
- {iptc:Byline} is working fine

Same problem with {xmp:subject} field, which is also a list BUG #3
- {iptc:keywords} is working

Other fields , such as {xmp:headline} and {iptc:headline} are working fine in batch rename ...

These problems were shown first by PrincessColumbia in this post : viewtopic.php?f=82&t=41985

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.99.0. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

V0.99.1
2 of 3 bugs solved in Batch rename :

{xmp:title} does not work BUG #1 (Edit XMP, "Document title" field)
Solved

{xmp:creator} does not work BUG #2 ( Edit XMP, Description tab, "Author" field )
Solved

Small problem remains with {xmp:subject} field, BUG #3

xmp:subject is a list (keywords) and only the first parent keyword is now used for renaming
It means that all files will get the same name if they have the same parent keyword ...
- {iptc:keywords} is working with all hierarchised keywords.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.99.4. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Solved !
Thank you Pierre
