In Windows 'Explorer...View...Details' there are 284 properties of metadata you can choose to display for the files in a given folder in ReadOnly format. Right-clicking on a file and choosing the Details tab displays a sub-set of 61 properties from that list of 284. For those that have Read/Write capabiltiry you can edit the data they contain.
I would like to use some of the properties from Windows 'Explorer...View...Details' to store information about our photos. The idea is that when I send a family member copies of photos they can see the information in Windows Explorer.
The properties I want to use are:
* Subject
* Title
* Description
* Rating
* DateTaken
* Dimensions
* Size
Location
Street
City
State
Country
For those marked with an asterisk I have been able to find the necessary information (canonical name, etc.) to be able to read and write the properties. I cannot find what I need for the others anywhere. And I have looked.
I have found the web page for MS Windows Properties, I have a copy of MS Photo Metadata Policy, GDI+ Properties, I can read and write to the properties used by MS Pro Photo Tools, I have dissected the propKey.h file and much more.
I need help finding more information about ALL the properties exposed by Windows Explorer in Details View, especially those I have mentioned above without an asterisk. If you know of a Microsoft web page that might give me some information or another forum that might be able to help I would sure appreciate it.
Thank you,
