The documentation says that XMP is never written to jpeg because of the risk of confusion/duplication in the case of RAW+JPEG. Of course, whenever an identically named raw and jpeg file exist in a folder this problem exists.

Hard to avoid featuritis. You'll end up like Photo Mechanic, which is a good but complex product. Inevitable.
I want tiff file support.
(and someone else wants yet something else!)
I could also want recursive folder opening, e.g., find all the pics. But, this has complexity: it's one thing when there are just 2 more levels, no more than 20 total folder, and no more than 250 images. But, if it happened when you opened "Pictures" that would be a problem!
So, tiff higher priority than recursive folders.

Hi,
I would like to use FRV to rate my files before I import them into LR (Adobe Lighroom CC). But I have difficulties getting my FRV ratings over into Lightroom.
Here is what I do:
- Rate all photos in FRV
xmp files get created for each rated photo.
- Import all photos into LR (Lightroom)
- Select all photo in LR and execute Metadata > Read metadata from file
Some of the ratings I did in FRV, appear in LR, some not.
Thanks for your help.

New to FRV.
Does the user manual indicate how to determine DR of various high ISO (1600, 3200, 6400) RAW images?

I am trying to integrate RPP into my workflow in place of ACR, so the creation of ".rpps" files from FRV is of great interest.
But I can't seem to make this work. I have a "default" profile in RPP that uses a color-correction profile (created with ColorChecker24) for my camera but sets the WB to a simple default (1.00, 0.5, 0, 0 EV for RB and G+G).
I have set FRV 1.3 to display the WB in EV so I know what EV values FRV sets for each channel. I have also chosen to allow FRV to set auto-exposure (not Adobe-like). [By the way I really like the new exposure controls/curves].

Greetings,
No matter how many or few (even 'default') fields I set in the Exif panel dialog, FRV displays only nine, and the same nine all the time. Exposure, WB, Date, Camera, Lens and Apperture, "program" (i.e. AE), ISO and Name.
I want to see the "User Comments" field that Exiftool shows has content in the file (a NEF raw file) and the Copright info. I have set the appropriate tick-box in the panel preferences dialog. But, no luck.

Hi there,
I shoot Raw+jpg with my Fuji X-T1. It appears to me that FRV does not apply the rating that I apply to my RAWs to the corresponding jpg automatically. I have to rate jpgs separately. Is this something that I can turn on? Thanks so much, Marius

This might be a bug, but I'm new to this kind of thing...
I was using preferences to change the appearance of the bottom bar.
The R,G,B,BW icons do not show up, regardless of the option I select.
There does appear to be a very small space on the bar that might be intended to accommodate the.
I am using a 27" iMac, so there is plenty of room in the bottom bar to show whatever I think I might need.
Thank you for your help

FastRawViewer (FRV) saves changes to the RAW file to an XMP file. I have noticed that PS CC2015 imports those changes when I send a file y using the "Run" command. When I send a file to DxOOptics Pro, it appears that those are not opened. Is there a way to have DxO open the file and use the adjustments that were made in FRV? Thank you.
