      I don't quite get what it means, will have to test out. I suppose it means you can create fake tags, where they are simply placeholders for actual tags. I'm assuming you can do it with multiple tags as well?
  • Let’s imagine you have a screenful of untagged and tagged images. First, press Alt + T to sort images by tags. With the mouse, click on the left edge of the screen to open the file list. You should see a group of files in the beginning of the list marked as having no tags. Right click on the list to select a whole group of images, and press Ctrl + C to copy the files on the clipboard. Press Ctrl + N to open a new view and paste the images with Ctrl + V. Now you have a nice, clean workspace with no unwanted files.

  • press Ctrl + Shift + O to automatically sort all files into smaller subgroups
  • Adding complete directories
  • Use the included program dbtool to add directories recursively with any tags you like.
  • "c:\Program Files\Viewer2\dbtool" add "c:\my photos\kittens" cats cute. This will add everything in the specified directory and add the tags cats and cute to each image.

  • Synchronizing IPTC keywords and Viewer2 tags is disabled by default, because it physically modifies image files
  • enable it in the configuration by ensuring the option “Synchronize tags and IPTC keywords” is checked. Viewer2 will then tag every new image with IPTC keywords and set the IPTC keywords to the tags the image has in Viewer2

  • IPTC into the files but they don’t show up in Picasa. Other tools, such as Exifer or IrfanView can display them
  • IPTC export works at least on some programs
  • doesn’t write IPTC back to the images when we set tags – is that by design?
  • (“Synchronize IPTC tags” needs to be checked on the “Database” page). That feature definitely exists but it’s not enabled by default.
  • not entirely sure if enabling the syncing will automatically write the tags that you have added earlier but either adding (or removing) any tag will trigger the IPTC update for the file. Or, you can use dbtool to sync manually (something like “dbtool exportiptc c:\Photos”).
  • a small tool that recursively parse the whole image repository to automatically assign tags would be nice.
  • The new dbtool does this automatically. You can simply add a file in a directory and the tags in the file are applied to all the subdirectories. It can also tag files based on the tags it sees in the directory names, so if you have the tags “2009″ and “holiday” in the system and a directory named “holiday 2009″, dbtool will apply both tags to the images in the directory.
  • Would it be possible integrate this new dbtool inside the “MSWindows explorer”?
  • It is possible to add any program in the menu, as long as the program takes command line arguments.

  • Viewer2 is a free image viewing and tagging app
  • innovative tagging process based on organizing image thumbnails and folders visually and grouping them in various ways
  • Includes a powerful, versatile search function that indexes metadata as well as filenames and paths
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • mouse over to the edges of the screen, where you will find all the tools that you need to browse, view and tag your images
  • But note that in order to really take advantage of what this program can do you really have to become familiar with the different mouse manipulations
  • (e.g. right-click and move to move selected sets of images around – see the video tutorials). You also might want to become familiar with the various keyboard shortcuts, esp. the ones that concern tagging images, as they will make the process super fast and easy. Note that when hovering over any command icon in the interface a text label will show at the bottom of the screen to explain it (although a tool-tip would have been better, I think).
  • can group by name, by path, by resolution, by number views, by time/date accessed, by color, and of course by tags
  • Lasso-type tool: an innovative tool that can be used while tagging to select multiple images
  • Automatic tag suggestions: for quick tagging, Viewer2 can suggest tags based on other tagging activity.
  • Searching: the search function is one of the most versatile and powerful that you could hope for
  • It is able to field sophisticated queries such as give me the word "bla" with "2007" in the path excluding the tag "wallpaper" as an example (see the manual section for an overview).
  • search by tags, by name, location, size, etc.
  • Customization: most everything about this program can be customized in the settings, from the size of the thumbnails to the way various elements behave.
  • Memory use: only 16 megs in memory, despite the nifty, visual pyrotechnics.
