What should happen when remove a directory in first tab (it seems to be erase but still there when re-opening the box with same files number) Why excluded Directories (in second tab) are still present (in the first tab) So when thumbnails rebuild button is launch, are embedded data (IPTC & XMP in files) verified and updated in database ? Are IPTC/XMP data stored with thumbnails or separately ? I am probably a little bit dummy, so in order to progress some questions: It seems at the moment I have some surprising behaviour, similar as some reported on the forum but I am not sure to understand well what is done by each option of this box I do remove the directory which was orphan.

#Xnviewmp write ratings to metadata how to#

Having no idea how to reproduce the problem and help to identify reasons, I suggest Pierre :ġ) to explain precisely how the program proceed to record information (write and rewrite meta) in order to avoid some mistaken operation.Ģ) give an option to refresh database for a directory (including subdirectories) based on embedded XMP, even if it's necessary to wait end of that process in order to go on.

I just remember I had created new files with Photoshop launching original from XnView (I don't remember if Xnview crash occurred or not during that job) I didn't noticed precisely what I have done before in that directory. So renaming the directory probably refreshes data. I suppose metadata corresponding to that directory were affected. I renamed the directory, and had already Label displayed (see screen save2. I tried to close and launch XnView two times, try to refresh, impossible to get the rating upon the thumbnail. There are some post about that problem and I noticed it some times and this morning too.Īfter directory opening, XnView doesn't display picture's rating although they were tagged (in XMP see screen save1. about display problem of rating (and label) Just the ones I rated after changing options to Export ratings to XMP.įor Pierre. Edit again: Well, not exactly all of them, for now. And they didn't show up again even after I restarted XnView MP. God'damn! Just now all of my ratings went down the drain. Since this is my first contribution to this forum I want to say thanx for a pretty good program though.

Im using XnView MP v0.61 in a 64 bit Windows 7 (fully updated) environment.

Strangely enough they (the ratings) seem to show/appear when I right-click and choose Open or Full screen from there instead? Sometimes they don't appear in the preview panel but mostly they don't show up when I double-click an image and get it in a View tab (and then in Full screen), especially when dealing with raw images (.rw2 (Panasonic) in my case). Now I'm not sure this will work in the long run since I just made these changes, but it seems to be working at least.īut another bug (or annoyance) is that ratings doesn't always show.

(I'm using a Swedish translation but I guess you'll find the right checkboxes to mark/check.)

#Xnviewmp write ratings to metadata code#

How: Options, Metadata, check Export ratings to XMP-metadata, check Export colour code to XMP-metadata and check Write commentary in XMP. I just send ratings and colour codings to XMP. I had the problem with ratings disappearing, but I guess I found out how to stop them from disappearing. Note that the rating for the first few files in a folder work perfectly. I am using XnViewMP 0.61, because XnView does not possess the ability to ‘AND’ two or more categories. My workaround is to define the ratings as categories, which is not as useful because they are not visible. For such a nice piece of software, categorizing is absolutely crucial, and I’ve made it part of my regular workflow. But after having about 40 or more images or videos in a folder, ratings and labels disappear. If I select the Catgories panel exclusively and then select categories or tags they are fine they don’t disappear. I’ve heard others having similar troubles with different workflows, but mine I believe is straight forward. The ratings and labels don’t stick no matter what work around I’ve tried. The problems are with rating and labeling the files. Unfortunately, there are a couple features that don’t work as expected. It turns out that XnView (especially XnViewMP) is the best among them for video, and so far it’s free! It does not choke up with large video files, it has a nice viewer, and some important organizational features. Over time I have purchased (and now I own) ACDSee Pro, Lightroom, Media Pro, iMatch and many others. I have an extensive video clip library of video tutorials which I need to manage, organize, view, and export files temporarily (drag & drop) to work on them with external software.
