Hi,

I am trying to organise my photo library by adding keywords, a caption and a description to jpeg files, and geotagging them. I use Microsoft Pro Photo Tools to do so, while using XnView as a viewer. I have noticed minor differences in the labels of EXIF/IPTC metadata between MS PPTools and XnView but nothing annoying.

When searching for photos having a set of keywords in XnView, it seems XnView searches every single file for the specific keywords. Is there any embedded database facility that could index the keywords of files a la Picasa style, incredibly accelerating the search function?
