adding photo history

[gba1]

Is there an easy way to add some detailed photo history to an image that doesn't require renaming the file (which of course runs into the windows convention for length of file).  From reading the help menu it appears the notepad is for some other purpose.  Thanks.

You could use the "Description" Metadata field for example, or an IMatch Attribute.

I agree with Axel. Information like this belongs into metadata (not file names) and the XMP description tag is a good place to store this kind of information and conserve it for the future inside the image.

For a more structured approach, like multiple entries/records with date, description etc., the powerful Attributes in IMatch are something you might want to look into.

A good starting point to record historical events would be an Attribute Set with a date attribute and a text attribute. You can then add any number of these records to a file, each record consisting of a date and a description.

You may find the File Notes App convenient to add the data to the XMP description tag.
(Note that you can use this App also to store data in Attribute sets.)
