Settings - metadata - add high level rw options
Posted: Mon May 13, 2024 8:51 am
XnViewMP 1.7.1 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%
Settings - metadata
managing metadata is not clear enough
Note1: Edit XMP/IPTC dialogs' functionality do not depend on Settings>Metadata and not reviewed here.
Note2: splitting Companion files/Sidecars settings into 2 tabs is a bit odd, since Sidecars is a subset of Companion files. However, I'm not sure if/how they should be combined yet.
Suggestion - WIP

- add high level read/write options for metadata
on high level - what to do
on low level (at individual tabs) - how to do
- existing Metadata tab
- rename tab → IPTS & XMP
- Sidecar tab
- move 'Update or create XMP Sidecar' to new tab
- existing Metadata tab
- add Read order
since there are multiple sources to read, explicit order could be useful
- maybe add some message that there are some conflict data between different sources
