devonta Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Hello still on the trial thinking about buying this, but on the trial im not seeing any kind of photo organiser. Is there some tab or something to pull up something to rate pictures to help with the flow or if this is going to be coming soon? thank you! Quote
v_kyr Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 There is no organizer or the like with rating functionality embedded. For these tasks you would have to use some other third party software, which then hopefully can be also setup/adjusted to deal with files of the Affinity format.

devonta Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 do you have any recommendations that would work with it? Quote
IanSG Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 XnView MP is a popular choice - it's free and it's able to display the image previews embedded in .afphoto files. If you're going to try it, make sure you've enabled embedded previews (Edit / Preferences / General / Save thumbnails with documents). Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10
Ron P. Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Is XnViewMP an photo Organizer? I haven't used it but was curious so had a look at their website. It seems like it's more of viewer, that has no cataloging or organizing capability. When I think of an organizer, it's more like Lightroom, Capture One, Photo Mechanic, Photo Supreme.

Yes, you can use it as an organizer. You can categorize files, rate them, tag them, search based on various data, etc. Ron P. 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Ron P. Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Ok, nice to know. I'm still using LR 6.14 Perpetual. I might dowload it and have a look.

IanSG Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I may be misremembering, but I thought digiKam didn't show AP previews or, worse, allow external editors? Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10
v_kyr Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 AFAIK it offers "Open" and "Open with ..." commands and thus at least supports to call a systems associated default app for certain file formats. Related to previews, don't know if it yet shares the Affinity Quickview usage the OS uses.
