Subject: XnViewMP 1.7.2: Batch convert: "Action: IPTC-IIM/XMP" with *.xmp not possible

XnView: MP 1.7.2 64 bit
OS: Windows 64bit

*.xmp metadata templates (XMP-FWC) not implementet in "Batch convert" in "Action: IPTC-IIM/XMP"

20240902_fwc xmp not supported in batch metadata.png

Effect: Batch setup not possible with *.xmp templates. Metadata "xmp-fwc" is only in xmp

To reproduce:
1. setup#1xmp template: Metadata / Edit XMP / set XMP-FWC / save as *.xmp
2. setup#2 Batch convert: Tools / Batch convert / Actions / Add action: IPTC-IIM/XMP / Load template / (your xmp template)
3. *.xmp template is not showing in folder. Only *.iptc files/templates possible...
4. XMP-FWC are only in *.xmp

Actual behaviour (bug): cant add *.xmp templates bug: cant run xmp metadata templates in batch convert

Expected behaviour: *.xmp templates should work like *.iptc metadata templates

This action is similar to 'Edit IPTC' so XMP fileds (from Edit XMP) are not all there...

Yep, so that is exactly the problem:
"XMP-FWC" is only in XMP and isn't in "IPTC"

The "pro" would be:
to mark and add an asset (import into database) without interfiring the org. IPTC/XMP...

Any change for that fix...?

Any change for that fix...?

better will be to add 'XMP' action?

Aahh, took me a while to get this right - sorry for that...

Yes, it would be OK (for me) to have one action for each:

• IIM-IPTC-action

• XMP-action

...as long as IIM-IPTC und XMP are two parts in the software...

See issue for current status and some details.
