    I don’t know if this is a lot of effort, but using Photo Supreme for (current) cataloging, one of the “synchronization” options is to write finder tags from the keywords. Graphic converter can do this as a separate workflow, but writing the finder tags when saving the xmp keywords would be a nice “feature”. It obviously allows limited metadata searching in the OS independent of photo software….gary

    It could yes. Finder tags are only strings (the colors are separately represented), so as long as no color is needed, it’s possible. However, it’s always tricky to write data when there is another application(s) that are also writing them. For example, if Nitro writes out tags, but then you add/remove some yourself in the Finder, what does it do – you don’t want the apps fighting with each other. By that, I mean, if Nitro writes out tags, and then you remove or add a tag in the Finder and then Nitro looks at the image again – the tags don’t match. Should it update them again, etc.? This is how simple features become complex ones with lots of knobs and switches.
