![]() (Person names are only stored in xmp, but several types exist, what are the names of the metadata containing them that you can see with ExifTool?Ĭategory filter provides a feature to filter on person names. People's names have recently been added to XnViewMP, and for now you can only read them but you can't conveniently edit them. (Tools, Metadata, Transfer, or using ExifTool ) Once you have learned how to use categories to work with keywords, you will see that it is much more convenient than using the "Edit IPTC" or "Edit XMP" windows.įor the old exif user data (exif keywords, exif comment, exif copyright) it is less easy, I think it is better to copy them to the iptc and xmp areas. Īt first, do not modify the keywords with XnViewMP, because you need to get familiar with the settings and the functioning of the categories, I'll talk about this in a next post. Then the two panels "Categories" and "Category Filter" allow you to use the catalogue, which is a database in XnViewMP. Just use the "Add" button (in Settings, Catalog) and indicate the folders to be read, so that these keywords are included in the XnViewMP catalogue. XnViewMP can easily read iptc and xmp keywords. XnViewMP treats keywords very differently from other data. Use the IPTC tab, or the XMP tab, or the ExifTool tab (in Info pane ) to find out where these data are stored. You must first specify what metadata you find in your photos so that we can develop a method to retrieve as much of it as possible automatically. In the 80's, exif was used, 15 years later IPTC, and more recently XMP. JPG photos accept several forms of tagging, described by standards (exif, iptc, xmp) Tagging photos commonly means "adding keywords" although tagging is a broader term and can include location data, captions, copyright, people etc. We need to understand each other well, and to do this we need to define a few things. Wanting to delete from the History list on the Keywords TAB,ģ.Wanting to delete from the Supplementary catagories panel on the Catagories TAB. Wanting to change the Catagory of multiple files,Ģ. In summary, I hope that my immediate problems are explained sufficiently:ġ. In 'edit IPCT-IIM', and in the Keywords TAB and then in the 'History' panel.how to I delete from this 'History' list panel, how do I delete those entries that are wrong or that I simply don't want or need.Ī similar request is in the 'Catagories' tab of Edit IPTC-IIM.how do I delete from the list of Supplementary catagories. HOWEVER, in regards to changing the Catagory on multiple files - can that be done in bulk by selecting all the files that have the wrong Catagory and then changing that Catagory to a different preferred Catagory?įinally, I am building a list of 'Keywords' and I wish to delete some Keywords because of wrong spelling. I also now understand that, using XnView MP, I must open the files one-by-one to (1) attach 'keywords' to each picture ie the names of the people within that picture, and, (2) concurrently, attach a relevent 'Catagory' to each jpg file.Īll of the above is time consuming but not impossible.I cannot see that I can migrate old data of a different Program into jpg files using XnView ![]() ![]() HOWEVER, I now appreciate that in the second tier of my cataloguing of the jpg files as above, I also 'tagged' the individual people in those jpg files. In XnView MP, those tags appear as 'Keywords'. Pardon my flawed information re my two issues.įirst issue: using software (name escapes me) that is no longer supported by Microsoft, I have catalogued my 10k+ jpg files by applying 'tags' of functions/evets etc eg tags of 'meetings', 'holidays', 'family' and the like. My Question is: can the old data ie the tags of events/functions be migrated into the Catagory fields using XnView MP and, likewise, can the names of the people tagged into the files also be migrated into the Keywords field in XnView.Ī related query is.where I have entered 'Catagory' into the files into XnView.can I select a range of picture files and alter the 'Catagory' information?Ĭapture importing tags into xnview.PNG (7.9 KiB) Viewed 2535 times I have begun the arduous task of entering 'catagories' (ie events\function information eg 'birthday' dinner dance' football match' and the like) into XnView one file at a time PLUS I have begun entering 'keywords' into the XnView files of the people within the pictures, also - one file at a time. See the attachment is an example supporting mu query. Additionally, I have also 'tagged' the pictures with the names of the people within the picture\s. |Some pictures will have multiple such tags. I have around 15k+picture (jpg) files and the files have been 'tagged' with event/function information eg 'birthday' 'dinner dance' football match' and the like. ![]()
