Hi Tags er genious, especially if one also want to share photos (or any media)
to several screens, I mean it main screen the TV.
Unfortunately its all imature. Tversity media server dont support tags (exit/itpc)
TV’s with network connection and DLNA or UpnP doesnt support it either.

I am no linux fan neither perl or phyton.
Does anyone know of windows programs that can query whole folders and extract photo files based on tag info?

HI, I’m the author of jBrout … Just a post to correct some things.
jBrout is written with python/pygtk, and is available for gnu/linux and windows. jbrout store “tags” in “iptc keywords”, store “comment” in the “jpeg comment”, and is aware of EXIF when rotating loss-less.
AFAIK jbrout is the only one which use “Exif internal thumbnail”, and is able to rebuild it or rotate it (don’t need to regenerate thumbs).
jBrout will be able to store informations in XMP soon (when exiv2 and pyexiv2 will be ready). and jBrout will hopefuly be able to handle others images formats like tif and rephaps raw …

And like martin (hi martin !) said : IPTC is more widely used than xmp …

Hey guys, here's a handy tip. If you want to insert exif, iptc or xmp data into the names of files you can use Quick File Rename, not free though.

I do not find PixVue anywhere. It seems to be erased from the web.
Is there anyone that can give me a copy?

Please send me an email to pixvue.20.wildeast@spamgourmet.com

Thanks
Stefan

Was looking for an XMP-tool to tag my photographs. Found nothing serious using Google, until I stumbled on this page. Thanks guys..!

Question: why doesn’t offer Copernic XMP-support..?

I also use (and develop :) Mapivi http://mapivi.de.vu
Mapivi is based on another Perl module Image::MetaData::JPEG.
But future versions of Mapivi may be based on Image::ExifTool and with that support XMP and more picture formats.
But using IPTC is no harm, it’s still the standard for photographers and a later migration from IPTC to XMP is straight forward.

IrfanView is freeware that allows you to edit metadata.

i use mapivi. It’s the only thing I have found so far which lets me edit the IPTC. I just wish digikam or gthumb would simply add the iption to edit IPTC info.
