I know that I can add a comment to a jpg photograph using TC's file/change attributes. Then I can see my comment using custom columns with [=tc.comment]. That's as far as I got.

Have you found a convenient way to comment on and rank photos using TC?

(Sorry to ask such a basic question. I didn't find a thread on this.)

nn1k3,
There is no one specific way as TC has no facilities for picture management. So it's up to everyone to choose his own system. One can use the descript.ion comments, perhaps add some ranking to the EXIF metadata, or even make use of some third-party software database (no experience on my side).

Content plugin ImageMetaData supports read/write of JPG comment and XMP Rating (from 0 to 5).

I am working on TCMetaDataViewer v2.0 for quite some time. It has some (imho nice ) new features and advancements in comparison with its predecessor and works quite well yet with 32 bit versions of TC (including TC v8.0.beta; tested on WinXP 32bit and Win7 64bit systems). Although I still find little bugs each time I am working on TCMetaDataViewer v2.0, it's imho stable enough for being released at least as a beta version. But the ReadMe document and the sample files has not been completed yet, and without them a release doesn't make sense.

Unfortunately I fail at adapting TCMetaDataViewer to the 64bit version of TotalCommander so far. I didn't find a way to get some basic information from the file panels (e.g. always get "0" when retrieving the index of the currently selected item by "_GUICtrlListBox_GetCurSel" function). Actually I even don't know, whether the file panels are still implemented as ListBox controls (as in 32 bit versions of TC) or what controls are used instead of that. Perhaps the user defined functions in GuiListBox.au3 are not 64bit compatible (of course I've installed AutoIt3 for native 64bit support and of course I know about the changed control classnames for 64bit TC)?

I haven't had any problems with AutoHotkey_L (x64) with TC x64, once I changed the Control classnames.

Although with TC x64 (Lazarus) implementing all of the controls as "Window#" I doubt I will convert my TC AHK scripts. Unless Ghisler continues development of the WM_Messaging in TC 8, so that a script can directly query TC for specific things,
e.g. What a given Control's ID is.
