XnView Software

Hi. First of I can't thank you enough for this great application. I plan on donating in the near future.

I do have 2 small requests though. I mainly use this application to organise my digital photo's so there are two little improvements I want to ask for.

1. A rotate anti-clockwise button for the toolbar. (currently I have to hit rotate 3 times, bit of a pain).

2. A slightly improved batch renamer. It seems odd that when you rnema e files it uses no leading zero's and thus the order in the thumbnail viewer is wrong. E.g. currently:

DCIM0001
DCIM0002
...
DCIM0010

becomes

pic1
pic10
pic2

because of how the viewer shows them. Technically the viewer is correct. So I would like the ability to state how many digits I want to use during the incrementation in the batch renamer. E.g. 3 digits would be:

pic001
pic002
...
pic010

and thus it would get around this problem.

Thanks!

At the moment, rotating an image and JPG lossless transformation is really not so good. As long as XnView does not automatic orientation of the images, especially 'Rotate left/right' is very important and often used. There should be direct access to rotate or flip images. Currently there's the extra dialog 'JPG lossless transformations'. Instead of an extra dialog these functions should be available in the toolbar (customizable). Also, if possible the key combination in browser and view mode for rotation should be the same.

For all I know it's close to the top of Pierre's ToDo list.

Batch renaming with multiple digits is possible, already:
Simpy use several '#' characters as filename template. Each '#' stands for one digit (e.g. 'pic###' -> pic001.jpg, pic002.jpg, ...)

Wow, thats great news on #1, and on #2 your absolutely right. Thanks!

Also, I need a Key-Shortcut (or 2 Icons) for lossless rotate Left/Right in the Browser. Please.....

XnView 1.74 will have a toolbar button for JPG conversion which has a drop down for directly performing a specific rotation. Not sure whether there are short cuts available, too. You can check yourself by trying the current XnView 1.74 Release Candidate.
