New IPTC Default Country Code Feature
Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2023 9:32 am
As per the discussion HERE
Thanks for this new feature.
For those following along who may be as dumb as I am:
Like the man says:
In XnViewMP, Open "Settings" then, in the left panel choose "Integration" then choose the "Paths" tab in the right panel then over to the right click the little box "Open Config Files Location"
An Explorer folder will appear.
At the very bottom of the list, in all lower case letters = xnview
It is an ini file and Type will say "Configuration Settings"
Open this file with NotePad and scroll until you find the [IPTC] section.
Under the [IPTC] header, add the line ccode=USA or whatever 3-letter country code you wish.
Now, upper-left corner of the NotePad document, click File and then Save As and down there at the bottom where your filename is - DO NOT change the filename BUT add .ini to the end of the filename and click Save.
Close XnViewMP and Open it back up and when you open the IPTC Editor, your chosen Country Code should display and should apply to any image files that you add IPTC to.
I hope someone finds this of benefit - thanks for reading.
