1) My Windows File Explorer allows me to add Title, Subject, and keyword
data to the properties of each photo; but though there is a field called
Category, it won't let me add data to it. Is there a way to enable this?

2) The search engine in File Explorer allows searches by filename and words
in the file; but is there a way to use it to search the keyword, title or
category fields in the photo properties?

Please send any answers to me personally as well as to this group.

Click to expand...
=================================
I don't have an answer for Part 1...

Part 2 is easy.

Open a folder that contains the image
files and left click the search button.

(Ctrl / F will also open the search panel)

Choose..."All Files and Folders"

Enter your, Keyword, Title, etc. in the...
"A word or phrase in the file" field and
left click the "Search " button.


FWIW...did you know if you use "Details
View" you can add your choice of columns.
Right clicking the columns bar....will open
a long list of options.
