XNView - Similar File Matching

Post by dec »

i am trying out the Similar File function of XNView.

it seems very good; but i hv a few queries.

1. there seems to be no Bulk function

2. there seems to be no Autoselect function

(and i have some thousands of images to go through)

3. when you move or delete the last/only similar image, it removes the 'base' image from list (eg so you cannot delete or move it too)

advice?

What do you means?

*** the app seems to have no way to 'auto-select' based on various criteris eg size, resolution, date, etc

3. when you move or delete the last/only similar image, it removes the 'base' image from list (eg so you cannot delete or move it too)

yes because there is no more similar items

*** so HOW is "base" image selected?

*** what if i want to delete "base" image, as well as some others?
