Category Not Saving to XMP Subject for GIFs
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2015 5:09 am
Hello, before saying anything, I would like to apologize in advance for any basic misconceptions or asking-things-you-can-find-out-easily-through-google. I am very new to XnView and image organizing/editing in general, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
So I use categories to, well, categorize photos, and because I want to keep the category information on the image file itself, I use the "Export DB Category to XMP Subject and IPTC Keyword" option.
The trouble is, I want to do the same for GIF files. I understand that GIF file format does not support ITPC metadata, but I remember reading somewhere that it does support XMP (not entirely sure what that means though).
For jpegs and pngs, the category information gets embedded into the file very well. However, for GIFs, it doesn't. For ITPC, as aforementioned, it's obvious it doesn't, but shouldn't there be a field for XMP Subject to match the DB category?
So to summarize, why doesn't DB category save into XMP subject for GIF images?
Please do correct any misunderstandings or mistakes. Thank you!
