XnView Software

Hello Pierre,

I am working on a Windows 10 system with version 0.98.2.

For dialog "Edit XMP..." I miss the tag xmp-dc:subject
This list-type tag is the XMP field for IPTC:keywords.

This would be very helpful, because the trend is to only use XMP in future instead of also IPTC-IIM
In this case dialog "Edit XMP..." must also have the "Edit IPTC..." (multi-selection) option: keep and add new value (subject)

Thanks in advance
herb

If i add xmp-dc:subject, i need to add xmp-lr:hirearchicalSubject too, not easy to do like 'Edit IPTC'

Hello Pierre,

yes, you are right.
Please do it.

Best regards
herb

yes but why? Having the categories tree in XMP edit?

Hello Pierre,

In tools -> settings -> metadata -> IPTC & XMP you have 2 checkboxes:
- (1) Import XMP-subject or IPTC-keywords to catalogs categories
- (2) Export catalogs categories to XMP-subject and IPTC-keywords

In dialog EDIT IPTC... you can edit
- Keywords and
- Categories and SupplementaCategories.
All these fields can be edited independent on catalogs categories

In dialog EDIT XMP... you cannot edit
- subject (which is the corresponding XMP-field for IPTC-IIM keywords
- XMP-photoshop:category and XMP-photoshop:SupplementalCategories (which are the corresponding XMP-fields for IPTC-IIM fields
These fields are only written because of global setting (2)

And yes, to have also XMP-lightroom: HierarchicalSubject, is also a great feature.

Best regards

Hello Pierre,

This would be greatly appreciated.

XMP should not have poorer features than IPTC.

Thanks for listening
