XnView Software

I take way too many pictures and make too many backups. XnView MP's "similar files" feature saves me a lot of time cleaning out similar and duplicate pictures. However, there is one feature I am missing. The results view helps me to compare the pictures, but I often have copies of the same picture, where only one has been annotated, or copies with information in different metadata fields (e.g. caption, headline, title). It would be a great help if the similar files results display would include selected metadata under each picture, the same way the browse view does. That way I could keep the copy with more info and delete the one with less.

Hi rsbrux...
nice idea. I think there are 3x options in XnViewMP to setup metadata.

Check Settings /...

• ...Browser / Tooltip

• ...Thumbnail / Labels

• ...View / Info

Is it this what you need...?

@Gerald,
I am using all 3 of these options, and would settle for any of them in the "Find similar files" results view.
However, what I had in mind when I made the suggestion was the "Labels" from the "Thumbnail" settings.
This is also what I most often refer to.
