Title: Free Keywording Software
Post by: Leo Blanchette on November 20, 2009, 19:03
Up until now I've been using a little windows program called "Windows Photo Info" to keyword my images. It allows batch operations so if a bunch of pics happen to use "3d" as a word I can do a mass-operation of attaching "3d, render, graphic" to them all. It also allows descriptions and titles.

Problem: Vista does not seem to use this.

Does anyone know some good software (preferably free) for this purpose that is compatible with Vista?

Have you tried Microsoft Pro Photo Tool?

It does not batch operation (I think) but at least you can select the photos you want to keyword and add kw to all of them at the same time.

Yuri Arcurs has a keywording tool, check out his site I think it's free.

edit: Sorry I've just realised you want to batch attach keywords, you can do that in Bridge in case you didn't know.

I still use the free program Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) for batch tagging and my own scrip (http://flemishdreams.com/tag)t for composing the keywords.

Windows 7 is now available.  Perhaps if you joyfully abandon Vista....

Vista and windows 7 offer so-called Compatibility modes which enables the Operating System to change the executable to work on the machine.

Right click on the executable: Properties: Compatibility: Run as ....

Hope this helps
