Hi,

What would be the recommended way of achieving the following in XNView?

I have a large amount of graphics spread over a number of folders. I need someway of marking a bunch of the files with a tag/category/name/keyword, and then at several points in the future, need to be able to view all the photos with that tag/category/name/keyword and do a bulk export on them.

So I need pointing n the direction of how to do these two things:

1. How to add a tag/category/name/keyword to files.
2. Filter my view so I can only see the files with a specific tag/category/name/keyword.

I do hope this makes sense?

Thanks,
Neil

Yes, imho XnViewMP is the best free tool to do this job...
I wrote a post here :viewtopic.php?p=179720#p179720 to explain how the"catégories" tool can help to write keywords and filter photos with "catalog filter"
