The usual constraint there is that you can only add metadata directly to JPG files. For me, that would sometimes necessitate considerable mucking aboutYou might care to explore QuickImageComment. I've only used it for JPGs, but the implication from the Exiv2 library it uses is that it can deal with TIFF, PNG, DNG and wholly or partially with quite a few others, including RAW files, provided you have the right codec pack installed for the latter.-IainB (May 08, 2016, 03:58 AM)
I just use ConEmu or Console. I had a license to PromptPal, but didn't upgrade after I found those.Are those, these?-wraith808 (December 06, 2018, 11:56 PM)
QuickImageComment displays EXIF, IPTC, and XMP properties of digital images (e.g. JPEG and TIFF) and allows to edit them. Especially editing of user comment and artist (author) is supported by using the last entered or predefined values. These attributes are read from the EXIF, IPTC, and XMP properties of the image and are stored there.It has a GPL license, and is the first free (as in beer) WinGUI program I've seen that can do all that. Note the "Selected image properties of all images in a folder (including any subfolders) can be exported to a text file" feature, which could be used, for example, to generate a list of the focal lengths you've used most, to inform future camera or lens purchases.
Overview of features are:
The program displays all EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties, as well as some other file properties such as modification date.
In addition to the full lists of EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties a list of properties is displayed, which is configurable.
In addition to user comment and artist further EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties can be changed. The list of modifiable properties can be configured.
Data templates can be defined to set several properties in one step.
Via placeholder it is possible to copy values of properties in others.
Changes can be carried out simultaneously for two or more files.
EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties can be deleted, thereby exceptions can be defined. Single properties can be deleted selectively.
Files can be renamed using Exif, IPTC and XMP properties.
The EXIF, IPTC and XMP properties contained in the files can be compared.
A special mask is used to synchronize the recording time of a set of images taken with different cameras. Images are grouped by properties (mostly camera model). For each group, a shift of the recording time can be entered. Then the images are immediately sorted in order to check whether the images are then in the correct timely order.
Selected image properties of all images in a folder (including any subfolders) can be exported to a text file.
All image properties of selected images can be exported to text files (one file per image).
Display metadata (XMP) of video files as well (depending on the operating system and, if necessary, installed components) display a frame of the video.
Display of image details with graphical and numerical representation of brightness and RGB values.
Display recording location in a map using the GPS coordinates; change of coordinates by selecting a position on the map.
The program also supports various RAW formats. In order to display the images, the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack needs to be installed additionally (http://www.microsoft...etails.aspx?id=26829). The properties can be viewed and modified without the codec package.
Further processing of the images (e.g. adjusting the contrast and brightness) is not the purpose of this program.

** Download the FREE Affinity Publisher beta!
------------------------------------------------------------
From the earliest days of visualising the Affinity range, we planned an unrivalled trio of sleek, super-modern apps created to work with the latest technology – ultra-fast, with stunning power and completely stripped of bloat.
Today that vision comes a step closer to completion, with the launch of our desktop publishing app Affinity Publisher in a free public beta.
We are still a few months away from the polished retail release, but we’d love for you to try it out and let us know what you think.
Download the FREE beta (https://affinity.ser...;mc=PUBBETALAUNCHE01)
The public beta is free and open to absolutely anyone – you just need a Mac or PC that meets the minimum system requirements (https://affinity.ser...;mc=PUBBETALAUNCHE01) .
What does Affinity Publisher do?
Affinity Publisher is an all-new app which we believe will revolutionise desktop publishing in the same way Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer have shaken up professional photo editing and vector graphic design.
It will have everything you would expect from a pro-end desktop publishing app including advanced typography controls, linked text frames, master pages, facing page spreads, dynamic photo frames, tables, baseline grids, linked resources and end-to-end CMYK.
And uniquely, Affinity Publisher will boast full integration with Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. You will see buttons to switch to Photo and Designer within the app, though these won’t be activated until later in the beta period.
We’ve also produced some handy tutorial videos to get you started – you’ll find these on our website here (https://affinity.ser...;mc=PUBBETALAUNCHE01) .
What if I spot an issue?
An important thing to remember is this is a beta, so there will still be bugs and areas of the app which are not yet fully polished. We definitely don’t recommend you use it for any important production work just yet.
We’re relying on beta users to let us know what works and what doesn’t, so we’d really appreciate you reporting any issues that you find. Also if there are any features you would like adding, please let us know. Even if we don’t get them in before we release version 1, you can expect plenty of free updates to come, just like with our other apps.
We have set up a dedicated forum for beta users to report issues, give feedback and make suggestions which can be found here (https://affin.co/publisherbetaforum) .
Download the FREE beta (https://affinity.ser...;mc=PUBBETALAUNCHE01)
We totally understand that not everyone wants to take part in a beta, and many more of you are excited for the full app.
Rest assured we’ll bring you more information about the launch of Affinity Publisher as we get closer. We’re making good progress on the iPad version too, which is set to follow at a later date.
You can keep up to date with our progress, plus everything else we are working on by following us on our socials - Twitter (https://affin.co/TW) , Facebook (https://affin.co/FB) and Instagram (https://affin.co/inst) .

Very much so.Does any news about Listary 6 suggest that it will get something akin to FARR's powerful alias system?I wondered about that as well.-Nod5 (August 19, 2018, 02:02 PM)
FARR and Listary are not the same things though, so a comparison is difficult. It rather depends on one's requirements.-IainB (August 19, 2018, 03:53 PM)
From my perspective as an existing FARR user: I had trialled Listary for a couple of years out of interest and for comparison with FARR, but eventually dumped Listary, though the latter worked OK.-IainB (August 19, 2018, 03:53 PM)
Listary met my requirements for searches, but otherwise seemed annoyingly idiosyncratic and intrusive, popping up when I didn't need it and nagging me to buy a licence for the full version. The most useful thing about it for me was the search functionality, but I preferred Everything Search for that.Your "peculiar needs/purposes" rubbing up against Listary's "idiosyncrasies" sounds like the pot calling the kettle black... It might be nice if Listary's default was not to pop up except for opted-in programs, but I suppose that would defeat the object. I don't know the behaviour of the free version, but after two years of trialling I think it's entitled to a nag screen. Listary is still only $19.95 at full price - for me, one of the best software deals around - and comes up on Bits du Jour now and again at even less.
I stuck with FARR rather than Listary, because in general it better suits my peculiar needs/purposes-IainB (August 19, 2018, 03:53 PM)
[FARR] is portable (used on all the PCs I support)Listary has a portable version, listed on the download page. If the PCs you support are for work, though, you'd need registered copies for each.-IainB (August 19, 2018, 03:53 PM)

Speaking of old times, remember those scifi paperbacks with two novels and a book cover on each side?-MilesAhead (August 15, 2018, 03:33 PM)
Cover art was a problem for me in itself. I never bought, say, Analog as a teenager, worried I think about the flak I might get others seeing the lurid covers... I must have missed out on a lot of good stuff.I am reading anything I can get by Clifford D. Simak. Just fun SciFi.Ah, takes me back... Way Station, Time Is The Simplest Thing, City... great stuff.-MilesAhead (August 08, 2018, 07:50 AM)
Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen #1) by Steven EriksonI had a false start with that too, I think because it opens on a scene of World War One-level carnage, with no explanation whatsoever. Something must have grabbed me because I went back and finished it; also read the next one, Deadhouse Gates. Erikson absolutely does not hold your hand. I liked his description of the Crimson Guard mercenary army as "500 men and women in brown leather with not a single shiny buckle between them." Much more realistic than the flowery heraldry and romanticised conflict you sometimes get in fantasy.

I bought this several years ago on a recommendation, started reading it, and put it down. [...] I figured I must have missed something, and picked it up again, and haven't been able to put it down. It is quite dense but quite enthralling.-wraith808 (August 07, 2018, 09:53 PM)
As a long time user of CCleaner, I now feel it's time to look for a replacement.
