Why when I add properties to my JPG and TIFF files via Windows XP explorer, they don appear in Catalogue properties report? How to make it work for this?
Jpeg and Tiff images stored on an NTFS volume (Windows NT, 2000 or XP) can have several metadata sets that are different kind of metadata. – Windows properties are accessible via Explorer using right click button and menu Properties. This information is specific to Windows systems. For files other than Office files (Word, Excel, etc.) the properties are not stored inside the file but in NTFS file system objects called streams. So they are not portable : you will loose them when you transfer the image by email or when you move/copy it to another system (Unix, Mac, etc.) or to a FAT volume that does not support streams. – IPTC fields are not accessible directly via Windows Explorer but using a program like for example Adobe PhotoShop or an explorer add-on. To create and update IPTC properties we recommend our Kalimages solution. You will be able to use the IPTC editor to add/modify IPTC field values in particular using customized controlled vocabularies (with hierarchy and synonyms). Bec
