Colors for Thumbnails, Overlay Icons size

[michel038]

Hi,
Sometimes, I try to find at a glance photos containing GPS data
Or photos with missing XMP data ...

With coloured icons, it would be much easier to see if a colour is missing, rather than grey small text !
See an example of colours on the right side

Thanks

you can add your own image file in icons folder

I can't find icons folder
Don't know either the name of the file I must look for, or the name of png files I could add ?

The only folder is ... \XnViewMP\UI\icons-48\
and in this folder , there are 141 png files, but none for iptc xmp exif gps ....

[michel038]

That's it
I created a "icons" folder under Xnviewmp
There I copied the sample you gave, named info.png

It works, I can change colours !

Thank you

Ok, thank you

We have to reduce height to 11 pixels, and width 165 px.
(anyone can copy this sample, and paste it into icons folder )

Thanks! I love these, but unfortunately despite putting them into UI/icons-48 they're still showing as the old grey style icons for me... any idea what I'm doing wrong please?

[michel038]

Create a new folder named "icons" ... and use this one, instead of using existing folders
Copy info.png into this folder
restart XnViewMp

[blizeH]

Thank you! I've done that, is there a setting or a place to point the application to the new folder?

[michel038]

sorry, I've forgotten to say "icons" folder must be in xnviewmp installation folder
Are you using windows ? Is Xnviewmp installed in C:\Program Files\Xnviewmp ?
in this configuration, info.png must be placed in C:\Program Files\Xnviewmp\icons\ , and is automatically used .

[blizeH]

Oh yay! Thanks so much - I had the icons folder in /UI/ It's working perfectly now!

What are the correct dimensions for info.png and info@2x.png?

• info.png
  • (169×11) Pierre's attachment
  • (165×11) from xnviewmp.exe
• info@2x.png
  • (330×22) Pierre's attachment
  • (316×22) from xnviewmp.exe

On another PC (Windows 7 ), I'm using a new install of XnViewMP 1.3 (Zip version)
my coloured info.png is located in C:\xnviewmp\icons\
... but XnViewMP does not use it ... why ?

I tried a 165x11 pixels , and 330x22 pix ...
What is the purpose of double size info.png ? How should it be named if used ?

Windows display is set at 125%

[michel038]

When I set Windows display to 100% , it works, I get colours.
When I set back to 125%, default icons are displayed.
But on this PC, 125% is required.

Is there a workaround ?
