![]() this should open usr/bin, and you can select the xnviewmp (in my case) executable. In the line labeled "command" click the folder icon on the right. ![]() In basic view tab, type "open with XNview" (or whatever you prefer to see in your right click dialog) It's quite simple using the graphic interface rather than a script/terminal. My installed version of Xubuntu is 16.04.3, Thunar version 1.6.11 My installed version of Xnview is 0.84 X32 (January 2017) YES you may create a custom action to open folders and/or files with XNview in Thunar! It may be helpful for other users on Xubuntu 16.04 (and above.) I noticed that files can be skipped due to minor errors, and hence I want to examine these errors after the script runs, hence the redirection, > script_outputĪlso the reason for selecting directories is to offer more control, or to work in stages through several sub-dirsĮdit: actually there are way too many files with minor errors (makernotes offset), -F option to fix them does not work, only -m option to ignore errors does.I realize this is an old thread but searching for what I needed found it even though I'm on Xubuntu 16.04. Perl -pi -e 's/photo_reduced/my_pics/g' keywdsĮxiftool -r -csv=keywds -ext jpg -overwrite_original "`yad -center -title='Select dir to write XMP data to' -file -directory -filename=/media/D1/ -height=400 -width=500`" > script_output Dir tree needs to be identical except for top parent which is replaced by perl command in the created file, keywds.Įxiftool -r -subject -hierarchicalsubject -rating -csv >keywds "`yad -center -title='Select dir to save XMP data from' -file -directory -filename=/media/D1/ -height=400 -width=500`" #script to save xmp keywords from files and restore them to files of same name elsewhere. Of course, if files have been renamed at any stage separately then this won't work at all. Under Output: checkbox "Write metadata to files of same name (embedded)" / "Write metadata to files of same name (sidecar)" Showing sub-folders in Xnview would help speed up the process, while using two instances of Xnview - one to find files with keywords, one to select files from originals and write keywords.Īnother idea would be a batch tool to copy a file's metadata to file of same name somewhere else!!! move to other folder and run "select files from a file list on the clipboard"Ĭurrently there's no option to do this - is this so special case? as normally two folders don't have files with the same file names in them, or do they?.select files in a folder (from category filter).(another way would be to move those original files matching the names on clipboard to a new folder, but that would be a painful doing it over and over)įind similar files does not allow me to select all the resulting found files and move them all together (to be written with keywords) - if the results linked to batch commands it might be useful in this task. on the command line use find piped to xargs to write the keyword with exiftool to the files in the originals folder.with category filter find and select all images of one keyword. ![]() look at a folder of images from reduced set with category sets showing and select all to see what keywords are used.The task now is to write those keywords from the reduced copies to the originals!! So now with a better PC and without display or memory limitations I have reinstated the originals as my main catalogue images. The original set was not tagged (did the tagging after size reduction.) The reduced size set have been tagged with multiple keywords, according to what they show. ![]() Then I have reduced size copies of these, same file names, same folder names (created in the days of a core duo laptop to save space and resources). I have a set of original pictures, around 25,000, organized in dozens of folders. Hi there, I am back after quite a few years of silence! Trying to sort out my database just now and need to do some tricky tasks.
