Does PL3 support / allow IPTC Metadata?

It does contain xmp values but no iptc.
Be careful with translations. In iptc it’s called keyword, in xmp it’s called label. PL reads keywords but write labels and they are referred to as keywords.

PL just doesn’t write iptc.

Ok, understood. Why is Adobe Bridge view those entry’s as iptc data?
Ok it’s stored in a xmp file so pl reads that from xmp. But it’s requocnised by bridge after export by pl as iptc values.

I don’t know about Bridge.
You can use ExiftoolGui to look at the different data. It’s an old windows program and doesn’t work with win10.
Also Google on “iptc vs xmp”.

I just found another exiftool interface on the exiftool forum. It looks good and works with win10 and mac.

# jExifToolGUI
**jExifToolGUI is a java/Swing Windows/Linux/MacOS graphical frontend for the excellent command-line ExifTool application by Phil Harvey.**

![multi platform jExifToolGUI](https://github.com/hvdwolf/jExifToolGUI/blob/master/images/multi-platform-1280.jpg)
**ExifTool** is a platform-independent Perl command-line application and library for reading, writing and editing meta information in a wide variety of files.<br>
[Exiftool](https://exiftool.org/) is by far the best and most extensive metadata tool available!<br>
It reads and writes metadata information from/to many files, but primarily focuses on photos/images. It reads/writes exif, gps, xmp, maker notes for many cameras, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix and many, many more tags.<br>
It can use a "reference" image to write the tags to a multiple set of photos or a complete directory containing photos.<br>
Author/creator/maintainer of ExifTool: **Phil Harvey**.
  
**jExifToolGui** is a java/Swing program that functions as a graphical frontend (GUI) for [exiftool](https://exiftool.org/).<br><br>
Many thanks go to Phil Harvey for his excellent tool. Without ExifTool, this Graphical frontend for ExifTool would never have existed.<br><br>
jExifToolGUI is (just) a graphical frontend for ExifTool. It can use a "reference" image to write the tags to a multiple set of photos, like gps tags for photos that were taken at the same location but somehow miss or contain the incorrect gps info.<br>
jExifToolGUI also contains extensive renaming functionality based on the exif info in your photos.<br>

<br><hr>

<br><br>jExifToolGUI is a remake of [pyExifToolGUI](https://github.com/hvdwolf/pyExifToolGUI) ([website](https://hvdwolf.github.io/pyExifToolGUI/)). I discontinued pyExifToolGUI for a couple of reasons:
* pyExifToolGUI uses python/pySide/QT4. pySide/QT have undergone some changes over the years that require quite some rework. pySide has also changed the license. The combination is cross-platform but not so easy to package for Windows and MacOS.
* I started programming in java because I wanted "things" on my Android car head unit that nobody else would make. And now I prefer java for "bigger things" over python.

This file has been truncated. show original

It shows the differences between iptc and xmp.

Is it any wonder stuff doesn’t work when we have XMP/IPTC/EXIF original/sidecar to death with?
