Updating Metadata, updating files

Post by jotess »

concerns MP 0.60.

Files newly created in the current directory that XnViewMP is displaying in it's browser don't display, not even when I hit refresh (F5) manually. Only after changing directories back and forth I can see them.

XnViewMP doesn't display changed metadata if it's changed outside XnViewMP. Refresh doesn't help. XnView works properly.

Best regards

On windows?

You means that if current preview is a file changed outside, the metadata are not changed in the panel?

Oh, yes, I should have mentioned. XP SP2.

When in "Thumbnails&labels" mode I see the whole directories content as labelled thumbnails. When I change the metadata of some of the images, these images' labels are not updated, i.e. "refresh" doesn't make XnViewMP reread metadata.

I can confirm that I have the same issue as the OP. Windows 7 64bit w/ version 0.61. When I convert a DNG to Jpeg and add some metadata, the new Jpeg info (normally under the thumbnail) is not there. This includes date/size/and some exif variables I selected.
