Windows 7: Add notes to jpegs

kado897 · 08 May 2012

I don't know. I have checked my jpegs from several sources and all allow me these fields. I wonder if I have installed something that allows them.

been googling and most folks are saying to add comments to photos in explorer, no mention of enabling it with third parties , i can do music titles etc in explorer but not pics, maybe i need to start a new thread with this issue,see what others think ,and whether they can add comments .
thanks anyhow

I think it may be you. I have just looked at a virgin win 7 install in a VM. This is one of the sample pictures.

My problem exactly. When I right-click a jpeg or when I right-click and choose Properties, I don't get the kinds of options kado897 gets, which is what I'd like. Could this be a library installation/enabling issue?

If you have them they would be on the details tab.

I figured this out--my problem with it, at least. It's not a right-click that brings up the pane. It's a single left click when the file is in its folder listing.

Right click lets you open the properties dialogue and the details tab on that is another way to update the comments.

I have this problem, it is to do with ownership of the file and permissions, set when the file is created. I find it very hard to follow the myriad of paths towards changing the permission settings. Again, music files I can add comments and details, but not pics

i tried taking ownership ,and setting permissions but to no avail.
its fine on the desktop but not the laptop, its possible some software i have added has conflicted, but i wouldnt know which one, so for now i change the details from the desktop.
