How to achieve custom sort in XnView?
Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2021 10:50 pm
Hello
I'm looking for a way to sort images created in Imagemagik in a custom order. For that I'm setting a value in the EXIF comment. But when I open XnView while I can see the comment field with the value I've set in the ExifTool I cannot organize the images by it. Even when I RMB the image and try to edit the comment, the field is empty and without the EXIF comment.
When I edit that embedded comment I now see two "Comment" entries in the ExifTool, but this one edited in XnView can be used to do the sorting. But I would want to do it programmatically.

What would be the recommended way to load images with metadata that can be used to sort the images in XnView in either Imagemagik or straight up python?
Cheers
