FastStone goes wherever you point it to just by simple navigating the folder tree; unlike most so-called Digital Asset Managers (DAMs), FastStone does not have to be associated with any folder or drive. >>>ON EDIT: in Settings, you can set FastStone to either open to the last visited folder (even image in that folder); or, you can set it to always open to a particular folder; plus, you can make as many folders as you wish "Favorites" = open the Favorites drop-down and click on whichever one you choose. There are several ways to see the EXIF data with FastStone. Right-click any thumbnail and choose Properties then select the Details tab in the Properties window. Or, go to View and choose either Image Properties or File Properties; File Properties simply opens the Properties window as already described; Image Properties opens a dialogue with three tabs = EXIF, Histogram, and jpeg Comment (jpeg Comment is VERY USEFUL - type "T" to open the Comment Editor) To open File Properties from the Image Properties window, click the file's name. In the EXIF tab of Image Properties, down at the bottom, if an image is geo-tagged, there will be two little icons; click the little blue globe, and (providing you have FREE Google Earth Pro installed, it will immediately open and absolutely fly to the pinpointed location of the image = very cool. If you really want to get down to the down and dirty of EXIF data, also get XnView; XnView will let you see, read, and edit just about anything that the more complicated EXIF-Tool will, except in a more user-friendly manner. If you REALLY REALLY want to see and edit EXIF, then get EXIF-Tool GUI. All of the above mentioned programs are 100% FREE. I use then all. Of them all, FastStone is my workhorse. Hi Buckskin, You said On Edit, in Settings I can set FastStone to do several things. When I go to the Edit Tab, then LOOK for Settings, there is no Settings to be found inside the Edit tab. I do find Settings (F12) under its own tab to the far right of the Edit tab. However this settings does not look at all like you are describing. Under the Settings tab there are several sub-tabs to choose from; Viewer, Thumbnail, Magnifier, JPEG, RAW, Video, Dual Monitor (which I do not have), CMS, Associations, Favorites, Programs and finally Music. Then you say there are several ways to see the EXIF data; Right Click on any thumbnail then choose Properties then select the Details Tab in the properties window. When I click on a thumbnail, I do not see Properties, but I do see File properties. When I then click on File Properties which then looks like this. Again nothing like you describe that I can tell.  Am I doing something wrong here?? |

If you have Photoshop Elements, then I would highly recommend at having a look at the Organizer that comes with it.
It's brilliant. It stores all your exif data for each image and you can even search for photos using the exif as search criteria.

I didn't mean to confuse you. " >>>On Edit: " is my way of identifying that I have edited a post --- in case someone has already read the un-edited post --- so that they can easily see that I have edited the post; it has nothing to do with the Edit menu in any program. Again, I apologize for creating confusion. To find Settings, click on the Settings menu or follow the arrow in my screenshot to the Settings icon/button. In the Properties window that you posted, you need to click the Details tab to switch over to the EXIF data. |

I hope you are having better luck with the Organizer than I ever had; the main reason I quit the Organizer is on account of it corrupting my metadata, especially date/time taken. Every file I ever let the Organizer see got the time stamp adjusted to Greenwich Mean Time AND that change written into the file, causing me hours of time wasted putting the time stamps back to rights in other programs. I have never had a program so abusive toward metadata as the Organizer; the Elements Editor and full-fledged Photoshop are bad enough at corrupting data, but at least they leave my time stamps alone. I tried to give the Organizer a chance; I even went so far as setting my computer clock to Greenwich Mean Time and leaving it that way for several months; so long as the computer clock was on Greenwich time, the Organizer left my time stamps alone; however, having the clock on the wrong time caused major problems in other programs, so I gave it up. John R. Ellis even wrote a program to correct metadata after Adobe messed it up. |

That is not my experience at all with the Organizer.
I have no idea why you had data corruption problems. I have been using the Organizer since about v7 of PSE and never had any data corruption issues.

Charles, This may explain it. imgbb won't generate a thumbnail if it is a small-size image (pixel dimensions); you will need to upload a larger size. Then, you will get a thumbnail to click on it and open the full-size image. |
