Title: Keywords meta data not populated ( Linux - Eye of Mate)
Post by: aniecki on October 26, 2020, 08:48:17 AM

Hi guys.
I run Ubuntu 20.04 with default image viewer Eye of MATE (version 1.24), yet cannot set a keywords meta data, eg:

exiftool '-keywords+<make' IMG_0244.JPG
1 image files updated

Also tried another option
exiftool -keywords=EXIF -keywords=editor IMG_0245.JPG
1 image files updated

Yet the output in the viewer will not show any keywords data. Not sure what is going on here. 2 attachments supplied.

Thanks!

This would be FAQ #3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3).

Find a file that does show the keywords in Eye, then run exiftool on that file to see the location of the data.

I'd guess that the data might be in XMP:Subject. Keywords is part of the older IPTC IIM/Legacy standard.

Thanks, that is indeed the case. The call
exiftool -Subject=one -Subject=two -Subject=three IMG_0247.JPG

Will show the data in the keywords section! I would never have it expected, but here you are...
