Hi there,

As the title suggests, Windows has the following properties when viewing a .jpg



XPTitle, XPSubject and XPComment match their respective fields, but XPTags doesn't seem to work or exist. Is this not a feature of exiftool? If not, is there a tool that can handle this specific field?

There is no such thing as XPTags.  The tag name is XPKeywords, which is a string value with semicolons separating the keywords.  But that isn't the only place where Windows will read metadata.  Check this post to see where Windows properties reads data from.  Also, take note that very few programs other than Windows will read the XP* tags.
"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

XPKeywords! I tried a few variations of 'tags' but not 'keywords'. Thanks (again) StarGeek.
