    Please contact me at dennis508@yahoo.com for support. User Reviews is not a good forum for support questions. Windows may not be reporting what you think. View All Metadata in FastPhotoTagger will show you the tags that are really on the files.
  • It won't load any photos. It says "No Photos Loaded". I already install Java and Exiftool, run the program, select Exiftool, select an image folder, but no thumbnails appear. Just blank window. It works great on my Android phone, though.

    Please contact me at dennis508@yahoo.com for help. Do you have write-access to the photos? Note to other users: While reviews are always welcome, this is not a good forum for support questions since it lacks the data sharing and conversation abilities that are often required to resolve problems. Email to dennis508@yahoo.com is the way to go. The log file, fastphototagger_log.txt, and screen shots are often helpful. Thank you.
  • I have no hesitation in recommending the app. It fits the needs of both Android and Windows users. The author is easily reached via email and always friedly to respond to new feature requests and ideas, no matter how crazy they could be. The hierarchy lists is something to appreciate, because no many apps for metatagging support such functionality (hopefully one day they'll be available in Android version too). Automation tools for exiftool within the app are also of some special regard. Finally, the powerful search options which take some time to learn, but once learnt they become time-savers and bring a real difference, especially when compared with some other apps.
  • It's amazing application! But i found little imperfection. Tager is changing original date/time of file creation, that is displayed by most file browsers, e.g. TotalCommander.

    Thanks. If you send me a file and a screenshot from TotalCommander then I'll look for the difference. dennis508@yahoo.com
  • This is an incredible tool and I actually can't believe how few software address this issue when it is so needed. It worked perfect to edit tags (triple yay for abbreviations!!). However, I am trying to fill the Title field with the file's name. I wish there was a way to do that automatically (but Microsoft is more focused on adding the weather forecast in the task bar). So in Program Settings > Metadata, I filled the Title field with File:System:Filename, and it appears fine in FastPhotoTagger, but doesn't actually apply it to the file as there's no way to save. Of course, in Windows Explorer, Titles are still blank. Am I missing something?
