Title: PNG metadata indexing

Hello
I've tried almost every desktop search, image indexer/cataloguer/organizer/manager in existence but none that would support reading png metadata (IPTC/XMP).

Please, please...
Does anyone known of a program that allows this
I'm using Windows XP SP2. The information was written to the file using exiftool, first to IPTC fields then using iptc2xmp transfered to XMP. I only used the "keywords" and "headline" fields.

Thanks

You should be able to find various tools to read the XMP since it is written
using the published standard, but the IPTC is likely only readable by
ImageMagick and exiftool. However, offhand I don't know of any Windows
tools to do this.

Maybe someone else can help here.
