Hi Lenore,

We use Adobe Bridge for this type of metadata adding and viewing. It is especially nice to bulk editing and creating basic metadata templates that you can save and re-apply as appropriate. We also use a free, open-source program called Tagspaces (https://www.tagspaces.org/) to help us organize certain files, e.g. those in our internal digital reference library.

Best,

Erica

I am looking for a program to edit the embedded metadata information in a file. I'm not looking to save the edited metadata in an XML doc. I would be using the program to add subject and description data for searching and identifying purposes only, not as a cataloging tool. Anyone out there using a metadata program or software for this purpose?
