0.92 'Update or create XMP Sidecar' setting doesn't work [Linux]

Post by mahikeulbody »

XnView MP Linux
Version 0.92 64bits (Sep 18 2018)

set 'Update or create XMP Sidecar'
set IPTC/XMP Editor to work as 'XMP only'

set/modify some metadata ('City' as an example), write the metadata

=> there is no sidecar created

IPTC/XMP Editor doesn't use "Settings, Metadata"

You can create XMP sidecar only when using categories.
XMP sidecar will contain xmp:subject , xmp:lr:hirarchicalSubject , xmp:rating, xmp:label and no other metadata

Other way to create xmp files with all existing xmp metadata (for Windows) :
go to Tools, OpenWith, Configure, Add
create a new entry with ...xnviewmp\addon\exiftool.exe
add this parameters : -o %d%f.xmp -xmp -k

select one or more images, right-clic, open with , exiftool ... xmp-sidecar will be created by exiftool
Perhaps you can use the same method under Linux

Bon, en Français on se comprend aussi, mais si ça peut aider les non francophones ...
Dans ma doc, l'utilisation d'exiftool c'est le chapitre 11N exemple 4

Il y a tout de même un problème d'ergonomie assez sérieux sur ces ensembles de réglages (il y a même un troisième ensemble de réglages dans "conversion par lots, IPTC "

... et une carence de xnviewmp pour ajouter les métadonnées ordinaires dans les XMP sidecar
