On the bright side of things, the application comes with a powerful database of handlers and related info. Don’t worry, the actual functionality of file formats which are about to be edited remains intact, because the application only reads and attaches information sets. In order to be able to access file extension and to include new information sets, the application runs with administrator privileges. NET Framework to function, but it’s usually delivered as a default feature in modern Windows iterations. Include metadata handlers in any file formatįollowing the steps of the installer takes little time and effort on your behalf, letting you run the program right afterwards. Moreover, File Metadata gives you the possibility to attach metadata handlers to any extension. However, some are fitted with special info sets known as metadata, which simply describe the extension in a readable manner. Needless to say that a computer knows what types of file it’s handling because of corresponding sets of information. For a discussion of the affected extensions, and restrictions on which properties can be saved, see here. Command line support for association management as also been updated appropriately. Import and delete context menu commands are removed to avoid affecting properties not owned by File Metadata. The Windows Explorer context menu to export metadata therefore exports properties from the file in these cases. Typically, using Explorer to edit properties added in the profile then succeeds (although this depends on the support provided by the Windows property handler for saving arbitrary properties), but the property values are saved in the file itself, and not the alternate stream used by the File Meta property handler.

The extension is then marked as Profile +, and Remove Handler removes only the applied profile. The Association Manager detects affected extensions automatically and applies the selected profile while leaving the Windows handler intact. Introduce 'Profile Only' support for cases where Windows will not allow one of its built-in property handlers to be extended (issue #72, issue #56, issue #36, issue #25).

In Association Manager, add the display of property display names and the ability to search property names to the Custom Profiles page (issue #70).

Fix Association Manager crash when adding handlers to certain extensions (issue #69, issue #78).

The changes from version 1.5 are fixes and feature enhancements as follows:.
