![]() ![]() I imagine that category can be assigned or not assigned. Only way to get all those windows updated at once is assigning category through picture's right-click menu in Browser. I'd expect that changing category in any window where it is possible shall update information in all other related windows, but this does not happen. That is, if you assigned category, then it appears under Assigned list, but if you remove category, it stays in Assigned list anyway. Starting position: picture is selected in MP's Browser window, no categories are assigned yet.Īssigning category through Categories tab of Info Pane won't update any other windows (which are Categories of Data Pane, Category Sets of Data Pane and Categories Filter).Īssigning category through Categories window of Data Pane will update only window Category Sets of Data Pane.Īnd Category Sets is updated from this action only one way. Total neglection of discipline, expressed in desynchronization between windows which are supposed to reflect on status of categories assignment. If View->Info pane.->Preview as tab is not checked, then selecting or deselecting menu item View->Info pane.->Preview causes tab Categories of Info Pane to switch off.Ģ. There is conflict between tab Categories of Info Pane and element Preview of Info Pane. Now you can enable secret hidden tab "Categories". Right-click any tab title of Info Pane (tabs are visible only if View->Info pane.->Use tabs is checked). Here are my observations from using them. ![]() Maybe I don't understand something and more experienced users will convince me that it all really should work like it does. My options which I set for testing look like this, don't know if they have any influence on MP's interface functioning. ![]() I did not test this feature on large scale like professional photographers do, but just with one single picture file in folder. There is plenty of comments on this topic on forum, I think it won't hurt to add another one. So I came up with idea of trying better interface of XnView MP 0.79 圆4 on Win 10 圆4 platform in a task of assigning categories to file. MP has "better interface™", and I agree, having better interface is better than having no interface at all. from using it solely as image decoder with standard editing abilities) and try to do something new that other users do with XnView MP. Thus, the XMP will be complete and may be read by other programs such as Shotwell or F-Spot (note: these two programs only read non-hierarchical categories, "dc".I decided to take a break from what I usually do with XnView for-Windows-only aka Classic (i.e. To correct it, re-select the category A2b with drop-down menu, clicking the right mouse button on the photos and selecting "category". When selecting A2b, XnView automatically select A2 and A. Probably the XnView will not include XMP in the last subcategory of the hierarchy, but there is as correct.The XnView will create XMP in the file, but not the IPTC (it's better that way because the IPTC gives problem with accented letters).In each picture or set of photos, select the categories in the information panel.Under Tools, Settings, Metadata, enable "export categories to IPTC or XMP".Create your categories as normal, with the hierarchy you want.I understood perfectly how to use XMP to store information categories in the pictures! ![]()
