Question Linking Jpeg Images to access: Selecting 2 from multiple images stored on network (1 Viewer)

Jdraw.

Well I don’t want the rotated images going to another directory because that means more manual work putting them back again.

So I tried rotating in situ and it messed up the thumbnails.

Maybe you can verify that, because it doesn’t seem to work well for me and then again maybe I did it incorrectly.
The images get rotated fine but not the thumbnails.

Regards,
Chris.

Hi

Could you try this version for me with the Jpgs you are testing with.

Cheers

That works but it takes about 3-4 seconds to load the thumbnails.

Correction:
That works but it takes about 3-4 seconds to display the thumbnails when going from record to record.

I didn't put the images in a different directory. I gave them a new name in the same directory. I didn't simply change the existing record, since a corruption of any sort would have lost the original.
I don't think Irfanview will let you overwrite the original in its original position.

Either rotate them into a known directory,
or rotate them with change in the name (suffix/prefix) in the same directory.

Steacy could rotate images into a known directory via batch Irfanview.

My photos and thumbnails were rotated as shown in previous attachment.

The DSCF photos are original, the image000 are the rotated versions.

Overwrite existing files.
