So after struggling to make a "select same rating" button script, ("this file has no rating" = um yes it does) I've learned that windows doesn't support all metadata for all files types. Then I learned of this tool that "registers metadata per file type" : File Meta.
Does this software make files conflict with Dopus? Or did Dopus already do these tasks of adding the handlers when installing Dopus? So would using this tool even make a difference? I assume Dopus uses the windows properties table (through Everything if enabled), and if the particular metadata isn't supported Dopus then creates its own proprietary tags with an alternate data stream?
I have more questions than answers.
