Add keywords/location/description to a file without Photos app?

Idea is I add all this information in a file, so that later it will be easy for me to find the exact file I want. Problem, is if I am doing this in pictures, I can't browse the files using the finder (that I intend to do), or, if I export images updated the they gain weight that is not related to what the new info. The file size isn't really a problem, there is the ' is not exactly the same that I imported before "makes me mad.

So, I'm looking for ways to add any additional information that may add Photos, without actually using this application. If there is no third party option don't mind using terminal or any other manual method to change the info.

If you want to manage your photos in the Finder, you can add Tags to categorize: macOS Sierra: use tags to organize files

However, who would not "embed" tags in the file. The only way to do this would be to modify the EXIF data, but I'm not sure that there is the "Keyword" field in the EXIF data. It would be too simple search EXIF data.

or, if I export images updated the they gain weight that is not related to what the new info. The file size isn't really a problem, there is the ' is not exactly the same that I imported before "makes me mad.

Photos (iPhoto and) do not change the original files. They create a copy and allow you to modify this copy so that Moose remains intact. If you wish, you can 'Export the Unmodified Original'.

The editing pane's will return to Original button.

If you want to delete the original image, after changes, you would have to duplicate an image, then delete the 'original '.

  • Live photo showing 2 different files in photos app on mac!

    Hello

    I recently imported photos from my iphone to my Mac using photos for OSX app. But after graduating successfully imported it shows me two different elements i.e. photo itself & a short video. So for my 300 live photos it's show me 300 photos and 300 videos.

    So why it shows two different files, I suppose, that it should show only direct photo because it shows on my iPhone.

    I also tried to repair the library command to open the photos app, but it did not work. Help, please!

    Thank you

    Live webcam picture is two files, a picture and a video - what it is

    where are you seeing the two files?

    If you really have OS X 10.10.1 and Photos 1.0 as you say then that's the problem - you are updated to eleven or twelve behind and these updates included support Live Photo - you must upgrade to El Captain OS X 10.11.6 and Photos 1.5

  • Add text to an existing text file without replacing

    I create a text file that you match this information from a user interface. My hope is that I can add information as buttons are clicked. But when I write in that text file which is already there.

    myFile.writeln("\r\n",mySFolder,"   ",myCountText.text, );
    
    

    I wonder how to add to the text file.

    Here is an example...

    var Log =File(Folder.desktop +"/LogFile.txt");
    Log.open('w'); //open a new document
    Log.writeln("This is a log file");
    Log.close();
    Log.open('e'); //open for append
    Log.seek(0,2); //seek to end of file
    Log.writeln("Write text to re-opened file");
    Log.close();
    
  • script to add the location of the log file

    Hello

    I am having trouble with a script that I wrote a year or two ago for the 5.1 vSphere hosts. Now I'm looking to run on vSphere 5.5 hosts, and I make mistakes.

    # Connection to the ESX host to be configured.
    $a = Read-Host "Please enter ESX FQDN:
    Connect-VIServer-Server "$a" - Credential(Get-Credential) se

    # Set the directory SYSLOG #.
    $hostName = get-VMHost
    $hostName = $hostName.Name.Split(".") [0]
    $logLocation = "[AVH-ESXLogs]" + $hostName
    Game-AdvancedSetting Syslog.global.logDir - value $logLocation

    Disconnect-VIServer $a - confirm: $false

    When I run the script, I get the following error:

    Cannot bind the parameter "AdvancedSetting". Impossible to convert the value of 'Syslog.global.logDir' to type 'System.String' type 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.AdvancedSetting '.

    To: C9: tank: 19

    + Set AdvancedSetting < < < < Syslog.global.logDir - value $logLocation

    I'm guessing it's something stupid, I was messing around with this script for a few hours and it's starting to all look the same.

    Thanks for the help.

    Eric

    You will need to do a Get-AdvancedSetting front, something like that

    Get-AdvancedSetting - $vmhost - name Syslog.global.logDir entity. Game-AdvancedSetting - value $logLocation

    You get the current setting and then redirect to the next cmdlet, which makes the change.

    See also the examples on the Set-AdvancedSetting cmdlet.

  • Why can't I add keywords in properties file to jpg files?

    I am organizing and add further power when looking for pictures by adding keywords (tags).  I right click on the file then click on properties, and then click summary.  I fill out the empty fields and click apply then ok.  When I reopen it the properties of all of the fields are empty again.  It seems that I can add them to other types of file.  Why not jpg?

    Thank you

    Well, that's really strange.  Anyway, I don't really have the means to hang a flash directly from my camera, so I put the flash drive in my computer with the camera.  Move the photo into the flash drive and tried to give keywords while on the flash drive with no luck.  Move the picture on my hard drive, still no luck.

    And I'm not sure how but you has inspired me to think about something.  I had my jpg files associated with Corel PhotoPaint X 5 so when I opened them, they opened in Corel.  I changed the association to Windows fax and picture viewer and my problem is solved.  I can now add all the info I need.   Looks like I need to take this discussion to Corel :(

    I thank very you much for the time and effort you invested in my number!

  • Add a file to another file without reading actually in memory.

    Hello

    I want to add a file to another file without actually reading the first file in memory and writes at the end of the other file.

    I mean it needs to be a way (for Windows of course) to do from a CPP code.

    Just like the CreateLinkFile() API maps two file in the block internal memory, is it possible, an API that will card internal two files, one after the other, and that won't be visible in a single file from the outside to the user?

    The client we work for requires that the two files should be merged into one without overloads of read/write file (Performance is the primary concern).

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Script to add keywords in Bridge based on the name of the file

    I'm working on a script that adds keywords based on the name of the image file. So, if the name of the file is AG123456 (08_16) .tif, this script would add "Agriculture", "123456" and "8/16" as keywords in bridge. "" I have a small sample of the part that retrieves the name of the file written in AppleScript below of each keyword. I know that I need to write the part that actually adds the keywords in Bridge in JavaScript, because the bridge is not capable of AppleScript. I have trouble finding the JavaScript code, I need to add the keyword. If someone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

    I would like to call the JavaScript code to in AppleScript instead of writing all the code in JavaScript. (The full version of it's longer, it would be a lot of code to change in JavaScript).

  • You can add an image in a PDF file slider? How you Center a picture? How to add captions to a photo?

    I'm creating a simple manual and I wanted to know if I can have an image slider in a PDF file without the need to have one image per page. The cursor will be clickable and whenever the user clicks on the previous or next image will change.

    Second, you can add captions to the images? Rather than having lengthy descriptions, I wanted to know if you can add captions to the PDF format.

    Finally, how can center you an image in a PDF document?

    Thank you

    I have a PC, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI

    -A slider effect can be added using layers or button form fields that contain images and then use the button to show/hide these items when you click it.

    You will not get the fancy transition effects you have on the web pages, but it will display a picture after another

    -What kind of legends? Just the text that appears beside them? It's something you should do in the authoring application, before converting the file to PDF.

    -Ditto regarding a picture of centering.
