Is there any way to have DOpus add metadata to a selected file? so that later I can read that info later to decide what to do with that particular file?
Right now at work we dump all data about a file into a seperate textfile with the same filename, or we type the info into the file name itself.
Basically I'm looking for someting like an ID3 tag which mp3s use... except I want to use these invisible tags on large MPG files.
There's also file descriptions (see the menu attached to the Properties button on the standard toolbars), which may be what you want.
File descriptions can be stored within NTFS metadata or within a descript.ion file which is created in each directories.
By the way, whether this metadata is copied or not when the file itself is copied depends on how it is stored and may also depend on how Opus (and other programs) is configured, the filetypes (some types have built-in support for some metadata, others have to have the metadata written to separate NTFS streams), and the drive types involved (you can't put NTFS metadata on a FAT drive, for example).
