William Herron Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Windows uses special "XP Comment, XP Author, XP Keywords, XP Subject" fields (XP <name>) for presenting the associated information with the Windows File > Properties > Details presentation. After creating an Affinity Photo Exported JPEG file, the previous content of these fields disappear from presentation by Windows. Is there a way to preserve the use of these Windows "XP <name>" properties fields when a JPEG file is edited by Affinity Photo desktop and the image is Exported as a JPEG file (*.jpg)?

Staff Dan C Posted August 21, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hi William Herron I've attached a screenshot below, the properties dialog on the left is before editing, and the right after. I can see that the subject field is not retained, but the Author, Date Taken and Copyright have all been retained here when checking embed metadata in the more... options of the export panel. Our developers are aware of this, and if possible we'll update Affinity in the future to withhold this info on export. Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

William Herron Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello Dan C, With this post, I did not want any JPEG file properties to be withheld when checking embed metadata. I hope that you meant "hold or "preserve" this information. If JPEG file Properties - Details tab: Title, Subject, Rating, Tags, Comments, Authors, Date taken, Program name, Date acquired, and Copyright fields have content before an Affinity Photo edit, I would like the option to be able to retain this information after an editing session. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
