[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 1303446, member: 49539"] I finally got around to looking at these, as well as your wiki page: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/New%20EXIF%20Properties%20in%20GUIPicture[/URL] [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/4986-add-to-mypictures-plugin-ability-to-search-view-by-keyword.133895/post-1273292']One of your posts[/URL] states that "title" is not an EXIF field, which is true. As I mentioned above, such descriptive information belongs in the IPTC data, not the EXIF data. The best reference I have found to IPTC metadat is this [URL='https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/documentation/userguide/']user guide[/URL]. The most widely used descriptive field appears to be [URL='https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/documentation/userguide/#_descriptioncaption']Description[/URL], which Windows Explorer uses for its "Title" property, whereas both IrfanView and XnView MP call it "Caption". It is frequently confused with [URL='https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/documentation/userguide/#_headline']Headline[/URL], which is why I also mentioned headline in this thread's title. The IPTC Title field appears not to be available in Windows Explore, but is called "Document Title" in both IrfanView and XnView MP. There was [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/discussion-of-metadata-tags.105951']some discussion of this[/URL] in connection with MP2, but it mostly revolved around videos, not pictures, and appears to have been abandoned: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal2/Evaluation[/URL] I don't expect you to do anything about this; you have enough to do already. Is there anyone still working on the Pictures module? [/QUOTE]
