![]() XnView-MP supposedly can do this (does not index EXIF or other metadata though). Also, be able to delete images, and add/change ratings from same. from my PC workstation, PC laptop or Surface Pro (and ideally from iOS and Android). view images and search by star ratings, color tags, keywords, etc. Either way, the images will be in a single place I do not need to manage images spread across multiple computers, but I do need to be able to view & search my images from multiple client devices.Į.g. To me, this can mean the images and/or DB are on a (reliable) NAS or fileserver. Must be officially supported feature, not a 'hack'. (XnView is currently fast on my PC, with 25k+ images, although most do not have any tags currently.) I realize LightRoom is far ahead in this aspect, and I do consider it desirable. In fact, if you don't provide any tags, star labels, or categories to your images, they are not searchable, only browseable. XnView/MP does not index any attributes from the EXIF tags or file metadata, so it cannot search files by date/time, lens, camera body, etc. I'm not confident he will be adding the above features anytime soon, if ever. XnView-MP is still developed, but afaict by a single developer progress is somewhat slow (last release was about 8 months ago). annoying, but no data has been lost so far. Instead, one is forced to either convert images (batch available), or use an external program (such as RawTherapee B&W takes multiple mouse selections in RT).ĭ. Other viewers such as Imagine can show a B&W ('greyscale') version in an instant, with a single keypress. Also annoying, but if (a) were improved, this would be much less of an issue.Ĭ. when filtering, all you see is a bunch of images (thumbnails) you cannot browse by folder, etc. (I realize LR is probably (very?) good at this)ī. This is my main annoyance with XnView/MP. Nor can I filter by more than one category at once. I cannot select 5-star rated images AND additionally filter by tags, categories, or keywords. Things XnView/XnView-MP doesn't do well (for me) include:Į.g. quickly launching an external editor such as RawTherapee for editing MP separates the thumbnail cache from the rest of the DB. ![]() very fast browsing/viewing my image folders with ORF and/or JPEG, PNG, etc. I haven't actually tested this yet though, but it is very important to me going forward.Ģ. MP reportedly can share a single DB (database of star ratings, color tags, categories, & keywords) across multiple PCs. That said, things XnView/XnView-MP does well (for me) include:ġ. XnViewer may be more of a viewer than a full DAM. (I'm already aware of LightRoom, but would rather avoid it.) I'm currently using XnView-MP (currently on Windows), and am wondering what other DAMs are out there with similar or better features.
