I use the term 'assign categories to photos' to describe the action of linking a photo, a category and the corresponding keyword, which is done simply by checking a category box in the 'Categories' panel while photos are selected. This tool also manages a database, 'the catalog'. Keywords are metadata like any other, but XnViewMP has a specific tool called 'Categories' to facilitate their management.

Other formats only support certain types of metadata, for example the 'raw' formats only support external XMP metadata, put in a companion file, next to the image file. The 'JPG' image format and some others support metadata embedded in the image file itself. The XMP standard tends to supplant IPTC, but one can continue to use these two families simultaneously. You can add a lot of information to describe, qualify, or organize and sort the photos, in the form of IPTC and XMP metadata. The EXIF metadata are now reserved for technical information, it is logical not to modify them except for the dates and GPS coordinates which can be created or modified if necessary, using the menu 'Tools, Change timestamp' or 'Tools, Metadata, Edit GPS data'. There are basically three families, from the oldest to the most recent: EXIF, IPTC, XMP. Metadata can be added to photos to facilitate their management.

I had already known how to do that, but if I had found your video before I figured it all out myself it would have probably saved me some time. I will check though.Īnyway, thanks for making the video. I know for sure Crop+Save is in there, not sure if Crop+Save+Next Image is. If you want to do in fullscreen mode and in view mode you will need to change the shortcut/hotkeys on both of those separately as each 'switched mode' (browser/view/fullscreen) has it's own set of hotkeys in preferences. The other option would be to go into keyboard preferences and set up a shortcut to Crop, Save, Next Image. I still prefer the way you show in the video myself. This is slightly faster than doing CTRL-X, CTRL-S, but only slightly so I guess it's a matter of preference.

The comments are disabled on the YouTube video linked in your post (crop many images is the link text), I was going to comment that you can also use 'Save Selection As.' then just hit to save as the same filename (file overwrite confirm must be disabled or you will need to confirm overwrite).

So if anyone here knows, or can off some other helpful advice, I would be very grateful.Video: How to batch rename and resize using XnView MP I've checked the settings menu, the wiki, and the forums, but so far I haven't found any advice on how I can do something like that. So I assume I just need to tell XnViewMP to go back through my photos and read the category metadata again. I've checked the EXIF, IPTC-IIM, and XMP metadata, and they all still have the correct categories listed for each of my files. Here is the issue though: Although my category structure is perfectly intact, XnView MP now doesn't recognize which photos belong to which categories. I then used Clear all.' to remove the current categories, followed by 'Import Categories File' which successfully restored my categories.

In the categories pane, under the dropdown menu, under the 'Categories Management' section, I used 'Export Categories File' to save a copy of my category layout. Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with XnViewMP's category feature, and I'm hoping you can help me out.
