Quote from: craigl on November 24, 2023, 09:31:00 AMNOTE: I needed to fill in Description and Caption-Abstract because movie files apparently do not have Caption-Abstract and I use Picasa (still) to organize my photos and it uses Caption-Abstract for captions on the photos.

Picasa should read the XMP:Description as well as IPTC:Caption-Abstract.  For "Tags" is should read both IPTC:Keywords and XMP:Subject.

Other notes I discovered when using Picasa
  • When reading Keywords/Subject, if the keyword has a comma in it, the comma is treated as a separator.  For example, a keyword of "Smith, John" is treated as two keywords, "Smith" and "John".
  • RegionInfo metadata has a limit of 9 decimal places.  A region with 10 or more decimal places in the region data will be ignore.
  • Sony, Pentax, Nikon, Minolta, Casio MakerNotes may be altered or erased if Picasa writes to the file.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
