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.

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:SubjectKeywords is part of the older IPTC IIM/Legacy standard.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

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...
