the free and excellent XnView (http://www.xnview.com/en/) program can search inside image comments.-mouser (April 21, 2017, 02:50 PM)

Hmm.. Anyone know any other image-comment-searching tools to test with?I might be misunderstanding the Q, but I thought we'd already pretty much done this one to death some time ago - refer the DC forum thread: Re: Feature Request: Search text notes in screenshots (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=34308.msg320892#msg320892)-mouser (April 25, 2017, 10:06 AM)

The best proggy I have come across for searching through and indexing image files by text content in various fields is still Picasa.
The Picasa "Sunset" version, availability and download links are described in the DC forum thread, here: Re: Picasa to be 'phased out' (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=42334.msg400876#msg400876)-IainB (April 26, 2017, 07:55 AM)
but I guess at this stage the question is where this information is storedStored, you say? ;D ;D ;D-tomos (April 26, 2017, 08:47 AM)
If Picasa does not seem to be finding the data that you know is in the .jpg image files, then it will probably be because either Picasa has not been told to capture the folders where those files are, or has not had time to index them.no,-IainB (April 26, 2017, 09:58 AM)
Ok I see now that when SC saves to jpg, tiff, gif, it puts it into the standard "comment" field.
But when saving PNG files, SC puts it into a "png key" called "Description".
So the trick when searching is to search the Description tag (maybe called Caption for some apps?)
For example xnview CAN see the description but lists it under IPTC tag of "Caption".
For example in xnview:-mouser (April 26, 2017, 06:11 PM)
I stand corrected -- I was finding JPG files too.
Seems PNG searching is not working in xnview OR I am misunderstanding something.-mouser (April 28, 2017, 07:02 AM)

Here's something that would help: Can someone make a png image that has a Description/Comment field that *DOES* show up in these other programs? With such a sample png I should be able to figure out the difference.-mouser (May 17, 2017, 09:54 AM)
