XYplorer Beta Club

Hi klownboy Thanks for your interest, and I hope my insights help you. That goto takes me to E:\OneDrive\Pictures\2014 which is shown in the XYplorer list as THumbnail - location of E.jpg THumbnail - properties of E.jpg My laptop is set to store all files and folders on the actual physical hard disk...

Thanks very much. As requested, feedback on my experience with the v1.20 script. :( I'm not able to get it to work as I expect it to. Strange things happen. It does not appear to FULLY create thumbs for subfolders. My laptop has a C drive where the programmes reside, and an E drive where the picture...

OK sireddie, let me know. I had forgotten that I was working with version 1.20 (still working on it). In that version I have a new option which will bring up an input folder box and allow the user to point to the folder they want to rebuild. Sorry that's the 4th menu item I was referring to earlier...

Thanks again. I must be doing something wrong because I get a message when trying to run the script "The system cannot find the file specified". I've double checked the location of exiftool.exe that I put in the edited script. I highlighted a PNG file and ran the script using Load Script F...

I can see the information that I want in the RAW view of the file! I just don't know how to get it out. HiTXtXML:com.adobe.xmp <?xpacket begin=" " id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Core 5.6-c140 79.160451, 2017/0...

Super. I've also found in the manual for XYplorer that I can do boolean searching. Yay! How can I get that information to show from PNG files? Can XYplorer beat Internet Explorer, which does not show those? Many of my pictures are downloaded from the internet for my family tree, and tagged using Ado...

By adding a new column and using "Select Property..." - "Tags" when clicking on its header No, this is not XYs tags database when using this column but the metadata of each file that's showing in this column... Thank you again. You are solving all my problems today! I had search...

Thank you again @highend :appl: That suggestion will take some time to digest and plan. Meantime I have found that right clicking the F-Button allows me to apply a view to other folders. Brilliant. I will be able to set all my picture folders to show the date as above, and the Tags from Windows tha...

highend wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020 14:24 Right click that column header, choose "Configure Custom Column 3"
and change the trigger from "Browse" to "List".

This would solve the performance problem but you can only sort by this column after scrolling over all entries...

Thanks. That works well.

What has the file time to do with EXIF data in the first place? Two total different things. Then I found that the Date Taken is an additional field that has to be shown using the field "Custom 2:Date Taken". Shouldn't the date taken be the default for pictures? Surely not, not every image...

It is a field that shows in the field selection drop down as "Custom 3: Camera Model". Yes, that speeds it up immensely. It switches quickly between tabs. Thank you. When I added that field back while in the Camera 2017 tab, it took 40 seconds to show that column. Not showing that column s...

What am I missing? I take photos, and use Adobe Lightroom as I import them to rename them to the date taken and the filename, for easier sorting. Looking at a pictures folder to submit a different post, I wondered why on earth the filename was showing 20140327 when I took the photo, but the created ...

I have over 50,000 photos and files with tags. These are the tags that you can see in Windows File Explorer under the field "Tags". 2020-08-22 123344 tags.png How can I see these in XYplorer? I bought the full version because it supposedly let me do more with tags including search by them....

Even within a tab, there are problems. All tabs are on internal E drive Details mode. Columns - Name, Ext, Size, Type, Modified, Created, Camera Model I'm not sure what are standard/additional. (all these files are pdf) See screenshot. I want to rename a file. Normally I'd click on the name, then cl...

Thanks for your interest.
I just found a thread about slow operation which has suggested excluding XYPlorer and XYcopy from Windows Defender checking, so have tried that first. If it doesn't solve the problem I will post back.
