I'm trying to get DO to display the color labels that certain images have.
Those labels are in the XMP data. Both FastPictureViewer and XNView show the XMP color labels, but i just can't figure out how to show them in DO. If i add the "Label" column in the lister, it just stays empty.
I'm getting images from other people that are marked with certain color labels, and i want to be able to sort the images by color label in the lister.
You can check the files with PrintMeta to see if the tags are present. If they appear as a shell property, you can add them directly to Opus. However, if they only appear in ExifTool, you’ll need an add-in.
If you’d like, you can upload a zipped demo file, and I can check it for you.
Thank you, lxp. Unfortunately those specific tagged images are of sensitive nature. So i'm trying to install your PrinMeta add-in.
From your detailed description, i can't figure out where to install Mediainfo.CLI. Could you give me a pointer? Should it go into "%appdata%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\Script AddIns\CLI"?
Wherever you want. Just make sure to update the link in the script.
If you want to store with the Opus installation, I'd recommend
/dopusdata\User Data
I got it working. But what do you mean by the above? I'm not sure what "shell property" means. What should i look for?
PS: It seems that ExifTool shows me "Label:Yellow", but PrintMeta is showing me the same as Opus - Label:undefined/empty.
Oh well, since i'm not on v13, i can't use the ExifTool add-in, so i guess i'll drop the topic for now. 
That Opus label is something else!
It's from the file that PrintMeta produced. It says "no labels" under "labels" and "label: undefined" under *** item.metadata.other ***.
The offer to send a pic is still up. One pixel is enough if it contains the metadata
Unfortunately there's too much personal info in the Metadata as well. I could redact the file that PrintMeta produced, if it is of any help.
Absolutely. The lines with the tags you are looking for will suffice.
Here you go:

Okay - what value is it?
Oh, i hoped you could tell me that, LOL. I'm looking for a label "yellow". ExifTool shows it, but here i can't find it.
I guess you are looking for these colors:
They seem to appear like this in the ExifTool text file:
---- EXIF ----
Rating : 3
RatingPercent : 50
---- XMP ----
Rating : 5
RatingPercent : 99
They don't show up in any of the other files (let me know if they do), so you'll really need to use the add-in to turn them into columns.
Or use ExifTool via command line to copy the info e.g. to the comment field.
A script could assign Opus labels based on this info to the files.
Yeah, those. Weird - when i ran ExifTool in the console, it outputted a "label: yellow".
But if i need v13 for the other add-in, i think i'll need to work out some other method of meta tagging for when i'm receiving images. For now - and maybe i'll upgrade sometime later this year.
Still, thanks a bunch for taking the time to help!
