QuoteIn my search, I found Gwenview, which stores the custom tags in an extended attribute named "". There are pros and cons to sidecar files, but use of them for files that little to no metadata support (BMAP) or are difficult to write (videos, webm/p), they can be the only solution. Exiftool is one of the few things I would trust to actually embed metadata in a RAW file but I would say the majority of RAW photographers prefer untouched RAW images. Depending upon the program, XMP sidecars or embedded data might be used.įor RAW filetypes, the data is usually put in an XMP sidecar for safety as one mistake might make the image un-renderable. PNG files, overall, have very poor metadata support. In files like jpegs and tiffs, the data will be embedded. Most well made programs will use the IPTC standard for metadata.

Even something simple like hvdwolf's jExifToolGUI would allow you to embed keywords. Regards and thank you for your great tool!Īny reason not to use a Digital Asset Manager (DAM) like DigiKam or DarkTable? That will allow you to write the keywords directly into the files using the IPTC Photo Metadata Standard and not into what I assume is a OS specific file system property that wouldn't survive moving to a different OS file system. To be able to copy extended attributes (any, or simply ) into an exif tag using exiftools and vice verca. Also, it would be nice to know that I can convert the tags into an Exif tag, in case I find a better photo organizer, which stores the tags in Exif. Before spending time tagging, I need a way to regularily back them up.
TAGSPACES COPY TAGS SOFTWARE
My main concern with going with Gwenview and extended attributes is that they are somewhat fragile - some software looses them when working on the file ( ). However, TagSpaces is out of my price range, and I don't want to do rename files manually (I want to easily tag several images in bulk). Another option could be to put the tags directly in the filename: "IMG_2101. However, I don't seem to have this choice, as I haven't found a photo organizer, which stores custom tags in Exif. I'm thinking "Keywords" would be a good Exif tag for this purpose.
I would be more comfortable with storing it in an Exif tag, as there is a neat tool for working with these (yours!). I'm not decided if I want to go with storing my tags in an extended attribute. For this I can however use "recoll", which does index tags set in the "" extended attribute. Gwenview is ok for tagging, but lacks the feature to find images with certain tags. In my search, I found Gwenview, which stores the custom tags in an extended attribute named "". Having lost my tagging efforts several times in my lifetime, I'm now convinced that this metadata needs to be tightly coupled with the photos (here is a brilliant article on that subject: )
Unfortunately however, most organizers stores the tags in sidecar files or in a database. I'm overall looking for a way to categorize my photos and videos with tags (such as "favourite, birthday, family"), which are stored in the images themselves.
