I am still having some issues, but this was reading old images into the new version on my laptop.

At this stage it is possible that the images still had wrong keywords from previous mistakes or bugs, so I need to look into it more closely.

This may take some time.

This issue is still not fixed.

  • XnView MP v0.81 64-bit (default config) @ 7 SP1 (no codec packs installed)
I used WMV (C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Video\*.wmf) and AVI (C:\WINDOWS\clock.avi) clips for my tests.

When Resizing Change Default Lanczos to Bilinear

Welcome to the forum, nullpointer (-:

It seems that MP doesn't remember the most recently used resizing algorithm :bugconfirmed:

When you resize a palette-based image with an algorithm other than Nearest Neighbor or Bilinear (i.e. Hermite, Gaussian, Bell, Bspline, Mitchell, Lanczos, or Hanning), indexed transparency will only be preserved, if you convert it to alpha-channel transparency (Image» Change color depth...» 32 bits).

v0.72 DB-Category IPTC keyword problems.

I have done some testing. There are still a few bugs, but, because I have changed the way I process files, I had not noticed.

Display Updates:
There are still situations where the display does not update until I select away and back. Sometimes I just need to select a new file, other times I need to browse to a new folder and back.
To reproduce, put Browser in details view, Keywords column enabled; Categories and Info panes both visible; XMP or iptc info tab showing; select one file:
  1. click on a category to activate it - Keywords column does not change; IPTC and XPM tabs in info pane do not change. Deselect image and reselect: IPTC and XMP tabs now show updated keywords/subject and tooltip is updated; Keywords column is still not updated. Select another folder, and reselect original folder - new Keywords are displayed.
  2. select an image - select view->update catalogue from file - categories are all unticked in the Categories pane until you deselect and reselect file.
  3. select an image with keywords removed outside of xnview - select view->update files from catalogue - same behaviour as in the first case.

Entering Keywords from Edit IPTC window
This is still broken, but I have just stopped using it, so had not noticed.
To reproduce:
  • select one image file only
  • tools->metadata->edit IPTC. Select Keywords tab; from dropdown box select Categories (database) to give the category list.
  • click a parent to list the child entries
  • double click the child and get the following keywords added:
    Code: Select all
    parent|child
    parent
  • Note, parent and child are merged on the line. This erroneous line remains as an IPTC entry.
  • The XMP Subjects are correctly rendered, but the hierarchicalSubject has only "parent|child"
Second test:
  • select two image files (empty of keywords - to avoid confusion with multiple image options)
  • edit IPTC again, adding keywords the same way.
  • click Save All
  • No categories are changed for either file. although the XMP:subject is updated.

Re-importing categories from new files
This works well now, with just a few problems partly of my own making. I have identified the situation causing some apparent lack of reproducibility.
  • I created a few test images, with parent+child, parent only, child only keywords and also made copies that were missing the hierarchicalSubject entries.
  • delete the xnview.db file, restart xnview and browse to the test folder.
  • new categories will be created as parent/child, but sometimes there will be a second "child" category at the top level. I think whether this happens or not depends on the order in which the files are processed, which seems to be the file display sort order. If the first file found has parent and child but no hierarchicalSubject then they will be created at the top level. Once a hierarchicalSubject entry is found then subsequent "child" entries will be placed below the parent, even if the image file does not supply the hierarchy. (This is good)
  • my problem is having numerous files missing hierarchicalSubject entries. The solution is to make sure I have saved a good copy of the category structure, delete the DB, restore the category structure and then rescan the files. This way it should not depend on the order in which files are found. If I find the files that are missing the hierarchy then I can always "update from category"

Deleting categories

The same problem happens when the Info pane window is showing metadata such as IPTC or XMP.

I saw an image with junk inserted by Microsoft Photo. I thought it would be nice to remove that so I selected it, ensuring focus was in the Info pane, and hit delete.
This gave the same ambiguous warning "Are you sure to delete these 1 item(s)" and when I said yes then the jpeg file was deleted.

Now, in this case, I expect that removing the offending metadata is not as simple as deleting categories, so in this case either
  1. ignore the DEL key, or
  2. give a simple warning that deleting individual metadata items cannot be done by xnviewMP.

When Browsing in the details view you can sort the pictures by EXIF Date (It seems to be the tag)
but when you use the tool of Xnview to change that date it is changed correctly as you can see in the EXIF tab,
but the date is not updated in the corresponding details listing field.
You have to delete the cataloque Data of the folder and everything is correct afterwords.

Import from Picasa: how

For a start, I use both at the same time. There is no reason to stop using Picasa. Just be aware of how the two programs interact.

For bits of Picasa metadata:

Captions are written to IPTC:caption and XMP-dc:Description - compatible with xnview

Tags are written to IPTC:Keywords and XMP-dc:Subject - compatible with xnview

Face identification is written to XMP - but only if you have configured Picasa to do so. The default is to save it only in its own database. - And xnview does not understand face metadata.

As mixer's linked post identifies, stars are written to the .picasa.ini text file - nothing is written to the image. The suggested technique of selecting all starred images and writing a tag is a good start, and you'd then need to use something like exiftool to assign the standard XMP:Rating.

Having said captions and tags are compatible, older versions of Picasa might have written to IPTC only, and ignored XMP (I just found some of these today). Even older versions wrote metadata only to Picasa's private database and/or .picasa.ini (I forget the details). I do not know what happened to these captions when the DB version was upgraded.

For image adjustments - I think you are out of luck. xnview has no similar concept of non-destructive adjustments, and Picasa's adjustments are stored in the .picasa.ini file.
