Users could share an entire workspace or only a single component, such as a theme. To my way of thinking, each Workspace could have all: a Layout Group, a Theme, and a Thumbnail Definition, and a Behavior Definition.

I conceive of five separate groups of settings we users might be likely to share individually: Workspaces, Layout Groups, Themes, Thumb Definitions, and Behaviors.įlag to override colors in Thumb Definition Windows Digital Photo Software Media Management XnViewMP (64-bit) XnViewMP (64-bit) By XnView Free Download Now Key Details of XnViewMP (64-bit) Browse, view, process, and organize multi. "Synchronize Folder" scans & synchronizes recursively down the tree from whichever level it's run, so you don't have to try to remember exactly each & every folder in which something was changed.Defining themes in this way makes it so easy to try them out and to share them! Perhaps I'll make some alternatives and post them. Not to mention it's also *MUCH* slower to completely remove & re-add, rather than just scan or changes. In an extremely simple test case like above, where you just change one folder, this could work, but if you're just working normally in another OS or on other systems for awhile, it'd be impossible to come back & remember exactly which folders you have to remove & re-add one at a time. This requires explicitly remembering each specific folder in which you modified something. remove / add the folder in "settings catalog" will perfectly renew this folder in my catalog.

> no changes (the non existent photos won't be updated !) Did you just quit & reopen xnview (after renaming) and the new photo is there? Did you do some other step that you didn't mention? This seems to be a key difference in what we're observing. I only see the photo once, with the old name (which is of course no longer available). > category filter shows two times the same photo ( new name + previous name ) Settings->Catalog->Import folder=(my base dir) Settings->Catalog->Base path of your pictures=(my base dir) Another scenario that would have this issue is when managing media on a removable device (external HDD), which is sometimes used from a different computer. The reason I cannot do all my file management in XnView is because it's a dual boot system, so I'm sometimes working from a different OS - & it isn't feasible to reboot to the other OS each time I need to i.e.

Note: just to preempt one possible answer, I cannot exclusively use XnView for adding/moving/removing files on disk - I need to be able to do so elsewhere, & then have XnView update its catalog accordingly. How can I accomplish the same as LR's "Synchronize Folder?" A few weeks later, after some reorganizations within D:\Pics, how do I tell XnView to look for changes & update its catalog accordingly? In LR, I do this by right-clicking the folder in the tree, & choosing "Synchronize Folder." In XnView, I thought this might be handled by View->Update catalog from files, but it seems not to do so. One thing I can't figure out: after I've added some folders to its catalog, how can I recursively "update" all files/subfolders that have been added/removed/moved? For instance, initially I add D:\Pics. I'm working on trying to replace LR with XnView MP as my primary catalog/tagger.
