zhackwyatt Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I tag my images using Vista's built-in tagging features. (Through the gallery and through Windows Explorer.) However, when I save a picture in Paint.NET, it erases the tags. This happens in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Is there a setting I am missing or can this be fixed in a future version?

Rick Brewster Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I've filed a bug on this. I'm not sure how they are storing the tags -- it might be embedded in the image, or it might be based on the binary identity of the image file. If it's the former, then it's probably possible to preserve the tags. If the latter, I can't promise anything.

zhackwyatt Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Here is a post from a microsoft blog that explains some detail: http://blogs.msdn.com/pix/archive/2006/ ... 02780.aspx It seems to boil down to xmp support.

BoltBait Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 That blog post lead me to this: Reading XMP Metadata from a JPEG using C#. and WIC Metadata on MSDN. Looks like they are definately embedded in the image itself.

zhackwyatt Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Am I correct in assuming that this will be fixed in the 3.20 release? If so, I can finally finish my Grandparent's tribute DVD.

Rick Brewster Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I haven't decided when or if I'll be fixing this. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Put me down as really, really hoping this gets fixed, if it isn't overly difficult to do so; I make extensive use of tags to organize my images, and right now MS Paint and Windows Photo Gallery are the only image programs I know of that preserve the tags after an edit. It would be extremely nice to have a more full-featured editor that didn't obliterate my filing system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhackwyatt Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Well, the reason I was asking about that specific release is because I saw this on the roadmap page: "We are hoping to include a metadata editor" Quote Calipso-Info on Aircraft, Original Wallpaper http://gocalipso.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
