XnView Software

If I enter IPTC data, these are not recognized by Windows (and by a website I upload my pictures to).

1. select a photo and ctr-i to pop up the iptc-dialog
2. enter text for eg document name, description, copyright
3. write
4. go to windows explorer (do no use xnview), select the photo and alt-enter
5. windows shows no information (and the main trouble: a website where I upload my photo's to does not recognize the iptc-fields)

Perhaps XMP is used instead of IPTC

These are EXIF entries in group IFD0 (XPTitle, XPComment, XPAuthor, XPKeywords, XPSubject),

Thanks for your remarks. I was testing them past weekend.

@xnview: I had the option 'renew or make XMP' (i hope this is the english, I use the dutch language) on and I deselect it now. I used a number of programs to see if they could read the IPTC (iTag, geosetter). They can. In Vista, the IPTC info is recognized under the extra tab of the properties.

@Klaus: You are right. XP handles this different than Vista. I have the latter at home, but posted from my work with XP. I did not realize the difference when I posted. Vista sees the IPTC on my home computer now.

The problems with the website remain, but I will adress the webmaster there. I wonder what has changes, because there were no troubles a few months ago.

Thanks again,

Mark

Hi guys,

I'm using the Ctrl+D to describe my pictures.
I understand this is written in descript.ion and in the jpeg header .
Now I'd like to have the comment visible under Windows 7 explorer.

I see Xpcomment is the field used, but how can I copy or create it from xnview (pref. easily...)

Read this : http://dev.exiv2.org/boards/3/topics/530

It gives a fairly good explanation of how the XP metatags are encoded.

Now read this:

http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/foto/e ... oolgui.htm

It talks about a graphical user frontend to Phil Harvey's ExifTool, a Perl-driven command-line metadata tag editor that has, as one of its functions, writing, reading and editing the Exif tags used by XP in File>Properties>Summary tabs intuitively (or almost).

Thank you!!

Now Exiftool in its original (?! - perhaps slightly tweaked) state is the EXIF/IPTC "engine" behind XnViewMP. Just an observation. I'm personally more partial to Andreas Huggel's EXIV2, but I suppose there were something on the order of 57 ways to adapt the former to Pierre's uses -- or he was more familiar with Perl as a language -- so he chose that one.

Also, for XP, there's a freeware 3d-party add-on* for Windows Explorer that adds a new tab, "EXIF Tags", to the Properties window when graphics files containing EXIF data are selected. The link to this add-on, and information about it, is here: http://home.surewest.net/frcn/EXIF.html .

Every little bit helps.

*a DLL, not a Service, in case you might not like .msi stuff.

No, exiftools is only used for some tasks...

Salut,


En utilisant Windows XP, je dois impérativement utiliser le " Mode : XMP, mise à jour ou création IPTC"

Dans ce cas 99 % des problèmes de lecture des IPTC/XMP sont résolus dans les différents programmes que j'utilise.

Reste le problème de l'option "Modifier les commentaires" qui rend ce choix caduc. Son action ne rend plus possible la lecture des IPTC/XMP ! Mais comme il y a pour le moment un dans cette option, personnellement je ne l'utilise plus en attende d'une guérison probable.

Bien à vous

ah ok, attention ici on est dans la partie XnView 1.97 et pas MP

Re,

Autant pour moi

Dans ce cas, je lui conseillerais provisoirement d'utiliser l'annotation avec la v. 1.97.8 que pour l' IPTC.

PS : si tu connaissais un article (si possible en français) qui parle de l'évolution des NORMES IPTC/XMP et les systèmes qui utilisent l'une ou l'autre ça me ferait plaisir !

Bien à vous

I see. Well, just to give a (for me) ready example, 0.34 Beta of MP (Windows)has none of the familiar items in the Edit menu related to EXIF & IPTC, Description and Comment. So which "tasks" would these be? Or am I looking in the wrong menus?
