Metadata | Transfer - XMP Subject put into wrong field(?)

Metadata | Transfer - XMP Subject put into wrong field

XnView MP Windows
Version 0.97.1 64bits (Oct 13 2020)

If a value is put into the XMP Subject field, it appears in the Windows 'tags' field.
Note - IPTC Keywords also is mapped to the Windows 'tags' field.

Effect: Data not where it is expected.

To reproduce:
1. select a photo
2. go to Tools | Metadata | Transfer
3. click Add ==> XMP ==> Subject
4. enter a value and click Apply
5. right click and select properties
6. click on Details - the value appears in Tags and not Subject
7. open windows file explorer; set view to details; highlight the file
8. the value appears in Tags and not Subject

Expected behavior: the value should appear in Subject.

NOTE - i have a spreadsheet, of which I could make a pdf, which shows the XnView metadata mappings onto fields the Windows will display in File Properties or File Explorer.

XMP subject (XMP-dc:Subject) is the current name of keywords field in XMP standard for jpg's
"tag" is the common word used to mean "keywords"

I don't know what is "Subject" in Windows language ...
Edit : It's an old exif tag = Exif:XPSubject

Windows use XMP:Subject for Tags, do you have a file with subject by windows?
