Hello Fulvio,
I have known about vvvP for some time and have now gotten back to try and use it more.
Initially, using the older version 1.1 I had some issues in running it and eventaully put it aside.
After finding the newer version 1.2, I wanted to give it another try, largely because I think it would help me catalog the many images I have on my network.
After some trials, I have managed to both run the compiled Windows version as well as actually compile my own copy under Win 10 & MSVC 2017.
In using it more now, I have come up against some questions in operating the program and would like to get your input on some of these.
The most puzzling one is that I don't seem to be able to review the contents of an existing catalog. Sometimes it seems because I have moved it, but mostly after a recompile and a non-gracefull exit from the program, I can find the and reload the catalog from the MRU list, but the left hand pane does not show the catalog & I cannot access the data within it.
The other question - for now :-) - if I rescan the same fixed location, will the old data for the same catalog be either cleaned out or averwritten?
TIA,
Arnold
PS: in compiling the code I had to make a few minor changes to get a clean compile and to stop some warnings from the compiler. Are you stil working on extending the program and can add these changes?
