Something like tagspaces or the like is your best bet I'm afraid. I'll link it here in a little bit when I'm back at my PC and can find the name.Įdit: Just caught the part where you said you needed to apply tags to folders - there's no way to do this with vanilla explorer. The actual name of the software is escaping me right now, it's one of those utilities that has an almost uselessly generic name, something like File Metadata Manager.

There's a very useful piece of software I regularly use that allows you to alter the metadata fields for a file type, though it's admittedly a lot of trial and error still. You can generally only edit fields that are valid for the file type, though you can add whatever columns you want (a file without that field will just have a blank space there) mkv might have Framerate, Codec, etc.Īnd both will have Length/Duration, but a text file won't. flac (audio files) will have Artist, Album, Album Artist, etc.

editable) metadata fields are defined per file-type (though I think 'perceived type' factors in, there might be inheritance there). There's the added complication that the valid (i.e. You can't edit them by clicking in the columns - but you can edit them in the details pane (like the preview pane, you can toggle it with Alt+Shift+P) - or in the last tab of the file's properties window. I know i can edit some metadata for files, like jpegs or mp3, but I need to do it for folders.Īny idea? This could help me a lot so I would be finally able to categorize my folders in the way I wanted without relying on the folder name alone. bat script that make me edit tags, but that's one column and I need more. Now, the heck do i fill those things? I know there is a. What I need is the column itself and the ability to edit the cell. The name on top of the column is not important. I can't edit those name (for example, there is "Document ID", and I won't be able to change it to "Passport Number" for example, but I just need those spaces to fill other things. I can pick "tag", "year", "name" and stuff like that. In file explorer, when you right click on the top bar (name, last modify, type.) there is "other" and you can pick other things in order to better sort your stuff. After my questions, I had an idea on how to achieve what I'm looking for.
