XnView Software

XnView: MP 1.5.0 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 11 64bit

Ratings and labels are lost when moving a file containing them to a different folder. This via context menu > "move to..." or by cutting/copying/pasting it.

Effect: Ratings and labels are lost. Dragging the file into a folder still works somehow. It only affects ratings and labels so far, categories and tags are still preserved. This bug happened as soon as I updated to 1.5.0.

To reproduce:

Method 1:

1. Assign a rating or a label to a file.
2. Cut or copy the file within the program.
3. Paste it into a different folder.

Method 2:

1. Assign a rating or a label to a file.
2. Open context menu with right click.
3. Select "Move to..."
4. Choose any folder different than the current one.

Actual behaviour (bug): The file in the new location will lose it's ratings and/or labels.

Expected behaviour: Ratings and labels should remain, as it was in the previous versions.

what do you have in Settings>Metadata?

I believe everything is set to default. Both "Export rating in XMP metadata" and "Export color label in XMP metadata" are unchecked.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.5.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

It is fixed now.
