Title: XPTitle, XPSubject, XPComment work - no XPTags?
Post by: ManorMan on May 26, 2018, 01:51:29 PM
Hi there,

As the title suggests, Windows has the following properties when viewing a .jpg

XPTitle, XPSubject and XPComment match their respective fields, but XPTags doesn't seem to work or exist. Is this not a feature of exiftool? If not, is there a tool that can handle this specific field?

There is no such thing as XPTags.  The tag name is XPKeywords, which is a string value with semicolons separating the keywords.  But that isn't the only place where Windows will read metadata.  Check this post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,6591.msg32875.html#msg32875) to see where Windows properties reads data from.  Also, take note that very few programs other than Windows will read the XP* tags.

XPKeywords! I tried a few variations of 'tags' but not 'keywords'. Thanks (again) StarGeek.
