PhotoTalks: 2.3 is amazing! video box disappeared?


2.3 is amazing! video box disappeared?

F15DOC on 5-May-2022
Thanks for this fantastic program, simple and easy.
I used it for a few days cleaning up literally tens of thousands of photo and video files.
Today I must have done something odd as prior when you boot the program there is a little box with an X in it that said something like "rename videos"... anyway... now that box is gone and it wont rename any videos, MOV/AVI/MP4, none of them.
Any idea what I did and how I get that video selection box back?
I removed the program from my files, redownloaded it, but no change.
Thanks again for this great tool!

Hello F15DOC,

Sorry I have no idea how the option box could disappear.
The only possibility I could be that you run an older version.
Can you make sure you run Namexif 2.3, I mean 2.3 is displayed in the window title?

Thanks,
GreG

Yes, I am running 2.3, its very odd.
I deleted and reloaded the program, same thing.
It says near the bottom "No Photos Videos Selected" and there is no check box. Or if I select a photo "1 Photos/Video found and selected" but there is still no box.
I could email you a screenshot...?

I think I got it: this option box is only visible on next screen!
Select one or more photos, then click Next and there you should have the box to tell whether or not you process videos

Hi GreG, I found the box on the next screen, was logging on to let you know but you already found my problem! Thanks again!!

The problem is that some of my videos even in the right format aren't showing up as selectable in the first screen... not sure what that is about, tried moving them to different formats with no help... anyway, that is more my problem than namexif. Thanks again!

Just to circle around one more time on the video issue.
So when a folder contains videos, of most any type I try, the won't show up in the editing screen.
1) Open Namexif 2.3
2) Select add files (or add dir) button
3) Navigate to the folder, to choose the video file
Problem: the video files are not visible/selectable.

I have confirmed the files are there in the folder, I can view and play the video files. I have tried changing their format to .jpg/.avi etc and they are still not visible to select.

However, if I change the file type selector drop down to box to:
Normal (*.*) then I can see the video file.
However, if I select that video file, and select OPEN, when it goes back to the Namexif screen, there is no file selected.

So, for some reason the video name change option just does not seem to work for me.

Any further insights or thoughts?
