About:
JCap is a Java application for adding captions and descriptions to your
digital photograph collection and includes a search dialog for finding
photos later. It is completely self-contained; it doesn't require a
separate database application or Web server to run. Captions,
descriptions, and keywords are stored in plain text files in the same
folder as the images they describe and can be read by any application that
can read text files. The primary goals are: to help you find photos later,
to help share photos with others, and to be able to read photo captions
and descriptions thirty years from now on whatever computer you happen to
have at the time.

Why not to add informations in IPTC fileds embedded in files ? IPTC standard
is largely used by professionnals.

This is the right place for sure.
But are there any collection managers that allow the user to sort/find on IPTC
fields?
 
I know PixVue, excellent and free http://www.pixvue.com

Thanks for the url. I did not know about pixvue. It looks very interesting.

However, if I understood their site right, it uses a database and searches in
that database. So we need to import all the pics before being able to start
searching.

Worse, I am a little bit worried about something that integrates with Explorer,
that I can't unzip myself, and that does not describe what it installs or where.
I'm just too paranoid, I guess.

Pity, because the functionality does look very interesting.

That's right.

On the contrary, I like some tools (very few) that are integrated with
Explorer. They are not less secured than "normal" apps: just some dlls and
keys in registry.

I use PixVue to edit IPTC and XMP (very few programs are able to edit
XMP...)
