Moving from OS X Photos to XNVIEW

Post by HansM49 »

Hello

I have posted this question in the XNVIEW CLASSIC forum also, because I wasn't aware that XNVIEW CLASSIC and XNVIEW MP have a different userbase.
I have my pictures in the Photos library of OS X, and most of them have keywords (tags). As I am new to XNVIEW I was wondering if these keywords will be imported in XNVIEW when I make the transition from Photos to XNVIEW. My other question is: does XNVIEW support so called "smart-albums" just like Photos has? With smart albums you can leave all your pictures unsorted in a big database/library and select them with certain keywords/tags. How can I add keywords or tags to my photos?

Thanks in advance, guys!

Keywords are written in XMP metadata? Please send me a sample file?

you would like that keywords are added to the file itself?
