Hello to all:

I make a aplication to organiza-clasify digital images

The tags, keywords, labels etc are stored internally on the database of the
program.

A image can have severar of these entries like:

> Animals·Mammals·Plantigrads·Bears
> Family·Sons
> Trips·South Africa

etc.

In order to make my application capable of been passed to other programs
I would like to know which would be the best aproach to do it.

In another words, I would like for example to install Picasa and been able to use
the keywords, tags etc which was used in my application.

What aproach do you suggest?
Can Exiftool help?

Any comment would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Emilio,

For best compatibility I would suggest using the ExifTool MWG tags.

- Phil
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanks Phil:

I see that I would have to follow that path.
