#XNVIEWMP METADATA NOT SHOWING IN EDITOR UPDATE#

An entry with no child means I only categorised it at the top level. In this summary I will just refer to parent as P and child as C. Having worked on a couple of folders using the mixture of ticking categories and entering IPTC keywords, I went back and examined with exiftool and find the image file metadata to be very inconsistent. However, the DB category is not updated įor these tests the IPTC option for keywords was set to "keep and add new value":enabled If I edit the caption and save-all, then, provided that I was currently on the image with the new keyword, the new keywords are applied to all selected images.

If I apply a category to one image, then add another (later image) to the selection then the IPTC keyword edit tab shows the copied category for the correct image.

If I select multiple images, tick a category (apply to both) and immediately ctrl-I, then the IPTC keyword panel is blank.

If I select a single image, tick a category and immediately ctrl-I, then the IPTC keyword edit tab shows the copied category.

Tests with images starting with no keywords or categories: Update: when I examined these "unchanged" files in more detail using exiftool, I discovered that the XMP:subject and XMP:Hierarchicalsubject had been assigned the keyword, but there was no IPTC block created at all. The same applied when I exited the program and restarted. After I left the folder and returned, the new categories were remembered but the keywords were still blank. The next time, when I assigned a category to a selection of 8 images, nothing else was updated.

If I ctrl-I to edit IPTC, then the new keywords are visible (I think previously I said they were not)īut this was only true sometimes!.

the tooltip does show the new categories, customised as.

The "Thumbnails + labels" view (I think I added IPTC:Keywords to the Thumbnails" labels view option.).

However in the following places it is updated immediately: Even if I refresh and switch between views the keywords are not updated to reflect the newly applied categories. When I assign a category to an image, iptc keyword does not get immediately updated in the Keywords column under "Details" view.

The children of the last category in the list never have the parent applied, so I have worked around that by creating a "zz_blank" category to make sure it is the last one.

Today, for example, I got a total of 6 of these composite categories after processing maybe 200-300 images.

But it does not do the second version very often, so I have not understood the situation that causes it. It seems that when the program reads the second form, it imports either the child category only, or else creates a new category named "parent|child". copying over from keywords to categories I get parent|child in the keywords.copying over from categories to keywords I get parent,child in the keywords.The program uses different parent-child separators depending on the process - this causes problems.

It would fix these issues if you were able to update the files immediately, or perhaps when the categories pane loses focus If I then edit image caption using ctrl-I, there sometimes are no IPTC keywords visible in the keywords tab, and when I save-all then XnView sees no keywords and removes the categories that I have recently applied (see next post for more details).(The "categories" column is the basically useless IPTC categories)

I would like to see the list updated so I know which images have been categorized.

( Edit: This is not fully correct - see more detail in next post )There are two problems with this:

When I apply a category to the selected file, it does not immediately update the keywords - in fact it only seems to update the keywords after I browse to another folder or exit the program.

When I apply keywords, I use the ctrl-I window, and the selection list in the keywords tab is set to "Categories (database)"

I have the Categories pane visible for clicking to apply a category. My layout in the browser window has the file list view as set to details, and I have enabled keywords and captions in the view. I also want the parent keywords automatically included. In other words I want complete synchronization between DB categories and IPTC/XMP metadata. In Options => Metadata => IPTC&XMP, in the keywords box, all options are ticked. I will use "category" here to refer to the DB category and "keyword" to refer to the IPTC keywords/XMP-Subject. I am not sure if they are bugs or I have some wrong settings. I am having some problems getting good results between DB categories and IPTC keywords.
