This all shows up in the Details Pane in folders, the Details tab in the file’s Properties setting, and the file’s InfoTips. You can add additional metadata fields to files and you then have the ability to add various metadata fields to any type of extension you wanted. It’s an ugly program and it doesn’t operate smoothly but it does what it sets out to do. The only program that I found that did its job was a program called FileMeta.

This is idiotic! Why couldn’t you just tag the file directly from Windows File Explorer? Why couldn’t you add other metadata fields like Address or Nickname? It was really stupid! Later, when you needed to find the file, you had to open the tagging program, search the tag, and then find the file among a list and then perhaps open the file from that program if they have the ability. Furthermore, you couldn’t even add your own metadata fields you were only allowed to add simple tags to the file. To tag something, you had to open the tagging program which takes a few seconds, find the file within the program’s own Folder Tree (can take a while), and then add the tag(s) to the file.
That might not sound retarded when I explain it like this but let me explain every single step you had to do. They didn’t complement Window’s metadata system they had an entirely separate tagging system. What were they thinking?!Įvery single of the above programs had their own tagging system. However, in practical terms, they all stunk. each for several weeks.) I really wanted to make at least one of them work because a few looked really pretty and I’m into aesthetics. (I’ve tried SetTags, Tabbles, XnView MP, TagSpaces, Tag Explorer, MetaData++, TaggedFrog, Elyse, Rummage, et. I admit some are really beautiful but I'm sorry to say this but they are all fundamentally flawed and useless. I tried almost every popular tagging and metadata program that exist. Without it, metadata searching would only include searching through very few files such as jpegs and mp3s. I wanted to mention a detail that’s very important and would make metadata searching much more fruitful. I know that Everything Search’s team had already said they might be able to include the ability to search through the metadata of a file by the next version, or the foreseeable future.
