i can't reproduce, could you send me your xnview.ini?So can you fix this problem or it can't be fixed?
Why do you use 'base path', you have multiple computers?slarti76 wrote: Sun Dec 12, 2021 7:54 am I've had the exact same problem for ages, but also didn't update in a while, as I was lazy...
Anyway, now updated to 0.99.6, problem still persist. I was wondering why such an elementary function hasn't been fixed.
As the OP didn't do it, here's my xnview.ini attached. Please have a look, currently this is my main complaint about XnViewMP.
What do you mean, "why"? Those are obviously options in the XnViewMP settings, so why shouldn't I use them? I mean, there's no help in the Settings, so when I see "Base Path", I chose the path where my main picture library is. Don't remember when I did that, probably years ago. My hope probably was that XnViewMP would only cache thumbnails for files in that base path - but that's not the case, so I also added Excluded folders.xnview wrote: Tue Dec 14, 2021 12:40 pmWhy do you use 'base path', you have multiple computers?slarti76 wrote: Sun Dec 12, 2021 7:54 am I've had the exact same problem for ages, but also didn't update in a while, as I was lazy...

And your files are on which drive? I've seen that you use 'Excluded folder'...
'base path' is only used when you share the images folder between multiple computers.slarti76 wrote: Wed Dec 15, 2021 7:18 am What do you mean, "why"?

What is wrong in this understanding?
Ok, so I deleted the Base Path in my settings, and now the "Tag Current" button in the image viewer actually works!xnview wrote: Wed Dec 15, 2021 9:41 am 'base path' is only used when you share the images folder between multiple computers.
The file that you are trying to tag is on which drive?
I think that the problem is not with 'base path' (i can't reproduce) but the excluded folder. The path of file that you try to tag is in excluded folder?slarti76 wrote: Wed Dec 15, 2021 6:02 pm Ok, so I deleted the Base Path in my settings, and now the "Tag Current" button in the image viewer actually works!
But I still think it's a bug, because the image where I was trying this was actually under this base path.
Nope, definitely not. I mainly excluded some network paths, and A/B/C. And as I said, after removing the Base Path, it works...xnview wrote: Thu Dec 16, 2021 10:47 amI think that the problem is not with 'base path' (i can't reproduce) but the excluded folder.
