Hi,

Curious if anyone had a structure on which exif field to use for "sub-event"? For example, I am at a wedding and use the event field for "Janie and Jack Wedding". Further I would like to ta them with a subevent, e.g. "Ceremony", "Cocktail Hour", "Reception". I use the Headline field for this right now but feel like I might be overlooking another tag or more standard way to do this. I didn't see a subevent tag.

I also then end up organizing my photos using a {Date Taken:%Y}\{Event_Name}\{Headline} directory structure. {Headline} is optional.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Re-purposing another tag like you're doing is probably the way to go.  I can't see anything obvious that would be suitable.

The only other thing I can think of is merging it in with the event.  This is something I've seen in various big event images.  For example
85th Annual Academy Awards - Red Carpet
85th Annual Academy Awards - Show
85th Annual Academy Awards - Backstage
85th Annual Academy Awards - Press Room

Though this is what is put in the Headline tag.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
