You can select multiple (or single) images and edit the IPTC data with the right-click context menu, which is useful for wiping all keywords. Thumbnail generation and import of IPTC data etc is only made and added to the db as you load the images from each folder, so if you want to build your db in one go, select a folder in your list in Tree and then press the Show sub-folders on the Tool bar, and wait for the loading bar to reach 100% (to allow importing image data to the db) before moving to another folder.īetter, go to Settings > Catalogue and use Add Folder, and let the contents be added to the db - bear in mind this may use up quite a lot of RAM, especially if you add a folder with 50k images or more - so keep an eye on it in case it slows your desktop to a crawl (if it does, Ctr-Alt-F2, login, killall XnView). Trash dir on the same disk (before they were lost), and there is now a Draw function in i,age viewer, which allowr for shapes, text and watermarks (no paintbrush though). Xnview's developer, Pierre, is constantly working to improve his great image/video browser and of note a few very welcome improvements have been made.
