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).

#HOW TO SET UP XNVIEW MP DOWNLOAD#
Note to run an appimage, say the file you download is myappimage, navigate to the folder you downloaded it to, make it executable as above, and right click 'open in terminal and. If you don't like it, just a single file to delete, if you do then you can try either the flatpak or deb (or keep the appimage). My suggestion - download the appimage and try it. I wasn't very happy with the visual appearance installing from deb, not sure what the others in this post used - deb or flatpak. So I must have installed from deb as I don't use flatpaks. Another solution to bundling all the dependencies into one package.

I installed xnview just a few days ago to have a look at it, but I'm damned if I can remember if it was from software manager or I downloaded a deb (which I can't find).ĮDIT - just booted up mint on another laptop and xnview is in software manager, but it is a flatpak. It is not adding additional respositories to your system. The installer checks if those packages are installed and if not installs them. They tend to be large files because they need to bundle all the dependencies in a single file.Ī deb is a file you can install, it contains the files required for the program to run and it also has a list of all the other packages it depends on. When you have downloaded it you need to set the excutable bit on it - in your file manager right click on it, properties > permissions, allow executing file as program. An appimage is a single executable file, it contains everything it needs to run.
