Mandatory tags for Win7?
Added by Picture Lover almost 10 years ago
If I set a 'Markierung' in my german win7 file explorer, the picture will get the following 5 tags:
Exif.Image.ExifTag Long 1 2110
Exif.Image.XPKeywords Byte 88 Test-Markierung1;Zweite Test-Markierung = 2
Xmp.dc.subject XmpBag 2 Test-Markierung1, Zweite Test-Markierung = 2
Xmp.MicrosoftPhoto.LastKeywordXMP XmpBag 2 Test-Markierung1, Zweite Test-Markierung = 2
Xmp.xmpMM.InstanceID XmpText 41 uuid:faf5bdd5-ba3d-11da-ad31-d33d75182f1b
Why do I need this uuid?
Do I really need all this 5 tags for win7?
Or which one I could delete with exiv2 without any drawbacks?

I can't answer these questions, they should be directed to Microsoft.

Picture Lover:
Just looking at the labels for the tags you pasted in, I think you would be best served by deleting
Xmp.dc.subject
Xmp.xmpMM.InstanceId
When you click back into Explorer, your Comment (or Title; I'm not sure what Markierung corresponds to in English versions of Windows 7)should remain as you entered it, and the file itself will be a few bytes lighter. Though to avoid viewing any particular tag in a group, such as XMP or EXIF (presuming you're running Exiv2 in Cygwin, MSYS or something else that emulates Linux or Unix), you can always opt forexiv2 -px ichhabemeindeutschgelost.jpg | grep -v Microsoft
...just as an example.
Hope this proves helpful.

Thank you, SJ Wright, it is helpful.
If I use Win7 and 'Grep for Windows' [http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm]exiv2 -u -pa _AJ.jpg | "C:\Program Files\Tools\grep-2.5.4-bin\bin\egrep.exe" Microsoft
I get the lineXmp.MicrosoftPhoto.LastKeywordXMP XmpBag 2 Test-Markierung1, Zweite Test-Markierung = 2
Actually, there are even more tags, if you enter a 'Markierung'* in Win7:Exif.Image.ExifTag Long 1 2110Exif.Photo.0xea1c Undefined 2060 (Binary value suppressed)Exif.Image.XPKeywords Byte 88 Test-Markierung1;Zweite Test-Markierung = 2Exif.Image.0xea1c Undefined 2060 (Binary value suppressed)Xmp.dc.subject XmpBag 2 Test-Markierung1, Zweite Test-Markierung = 2Xmp.MicrosoftPhoto.LastKeywordXMP XmpBag 2 Test-Markierung1, Zweite Test-Markierung = 2Xmp.xmpMM.InstanceID XmpText 41 uuid:faf5bdd5-ba3d-11da-ad31-d33d75182f1b
