In the 80's, exif was used, 15 years later IPTC, and more recently XMP. JPG photos accept several forms of tagging, described by standards (exif, iptc, xmp) Tagging photos commonly means "adding keywords" although tagging is a broader term and can include location data, captions, copyright, people etc. We need to understand each other well, and to do this we need to define a few things. Wanting to delete from the History list on the Keywords TAB,ģ.Wanting to delete from the Supplementary catagories panel on the Catagories TAB. Wanting to change the Catagory of multiple files,Ģ. In summary, I hope that my immediate problems are explained sufficiently:ġ. In 'edit IPCT-IIM', and in the Keywords TAB and then in the 'History' panel.how to I delete from this 'History' list panel, how do I delete those entries that are wrong or that I simply don't want or need.Ī similar request is in the 'Catagories' tab of Edit IPTC-IIM.how do I delete from the list of Supplementary catagories. HOWEVER, in regards to changing the Catagory on multiple files - can that be done in bulk by selecting all the files that have the wrong Catagory and then changing that Catagory to a different preferred Catagory?įinally, I am building a list of 'Keywords' and I wish to delete some Keywords because of wrong spelling. I also now understand that, using XnView MP, I must open the files one-by-one to (1) attach 'keywords' to each picture ie the names of the people within that picture, and, (2) concurrently, attach a relevent 'Catagory' to each jpg file.Īll of the above is time consuming but not impossible.I cannot see that I can migrate old data of a different Program into jpg files using XnView HOWEVER, I now appreciate that in the second tier of my cataloguing of the jpg files as above, I also 'tagged' the individual people in those jpg files. In XnView MP, those tags appear as 'Keywords'.

Pardon my flawed information re my two issues.įirst issue: using software (name escapes me) that is no longer supported by Microsoft, I have catalogued my 10k+ jpg files by applying 'tags' of functions/evets etc eg tags of 'meetings', 'holidays', 'family' and the like. My Question is: can the old data ie the tags of events/functions be migrated into the Catagory fields using XnView MP and, likewise, can the names of the people tagged into the files also be migrated into the Keywords field in XnView.Ī related query is.where I have entered 'Catagory' into the files into XnView.can I select a range of picture files and alter the 'Catagory' information?Ĭapture importing tags into xnview.PNG (7.9 KiB) Viewed 2122 times

I have begun the arduous task of entering 'catagories' (ie events\function information eg 'birthday' dinner dance' football match' and the like) into XnView one file at a time PLUS I have begun entering 'keywords' into the XnView files of the people within the pictures, also - one file at a time. See the attachment is an example supporting mu query. Additionally, I have also 'tagged' the pictures with the names of the people within the picture\s. |Some pictures will have multiple such tags. I have around 15k+picture (jpg) files and the files have been 'tagged' with event/function information eg 'birthday' 'dinner dance' football match' and the like.
