Windows 10: File Explorer: Issues with meta data

Hi


I am tagging all my photos right now. I am struggling with problems in File Explorer, when using multiple tags in combination with the search.


Issue 1 detail pane:


Without search, all tags are listed:







With search, only a few tags are listed:






Issue 2 group by tags:


Without search, all groups are listed:






With search, only a few groups are listed:






Remarks:

• I guess both issues have the same cause
• It's not only about the tag meta data. Same behavior for other meta data fields like author.
• Using W10 / v2004
• I'm not exactly sure if it's the number of tags, or the total length of the tags that is causing the problem. I couldn't really find any logic in short tests.

I really hope someone can help me. At moment I would stop tagging my photos, since I can't trust to the File Explorer.


Thanks

:)

 

Best Meta Data Program for Movies for Windows File Explorer

I'm not looking for something like Kodi/Plex because not only is it laggy but also I feel that it's not customizable enough. Usually, I think that developers over-customize software with too many options. This is a huge problem today as it detracts from the productivity of the product but in Plex's case and its competitors, they make the program so heavy (slow) and non-customizable. If someone simply made a custom folder for my movie folder in Windows, I think it could do really well. Something similar to the Windows OS font folder. When you simply double-click the font folder, it directly brings up an entirely new interface.

Anyway, I'm looking for a program that automatically adds meta data to my designated movie folder in Windows 10.

Requirements:

1. Automatically searches the internet to find the requested meta data
2. Automatically filling in the meta data details for the movie file itself
3. Inserting a covert art into the movie file itself
4. Downloading a cover art for the Windows file explorer folder

*It doesn't have to do all the above. Just most of them.

Possible Candidates:

1. MetaX
2. MP3Tag
3. Movie411
4. MyMovies
5. Media Center Master

I've done research and found the above. I haven't tried any of these so if anyone could let me know how they are, I'd greatly appreciate it. If there are other possible programs, please do let me know.

Hi there

@CerebralFreeze

For command line -- If you know Linux then if you install package atomicparsley (free of course) then that can read and set metadata into mpeg-4 type files e.g iTunes type metadata

AtomicParsley

Read the documentation as it discusses programs that use this and I believe there might even be a Windows GUI .

However using VLC will also get you the appropriate data - which you can then tag insert manually

I think VLC does all this for you including thumbnails.

For example playing an episode from BBC R3's Composer of the Week - William Byrd





For Video - same thing and gets Codec and Metadata details as well if you want them.





(Running VLC on Linux but the VLC GUI is 100% identical on Windows- I tend to use a Linux laptop these days with Windows 10 running as a Virtual Machine)

In file explorer, Windows 10, I created a list of files with some meta data, Frame Width & Frame Height. How can I put that list into a notepad file?

Here are the field numbers for your meta data items:

314 Frame height

315 Frame rate

316 Frame width

To get them recursively into a text file you would need a customised. File Explorer does not offer such an option.
