Using ExifXplorer

Checkup

Find photos missing GPS, copyright, keywords or a lens name before you deliver a shoot.

Click Checkup at the top. It looks at the photos in the current folders and filters, and lists what’s missing:

  • Missing GPS
  • Missing copyright
  • Missing artist / creator
  • No keywords
  • Missing lens: the camera recorded a lens code ExifXplorer couldn’t name, or no lens at all.

Each row shows how many photos it affects. Click a row to see them, and click a photo to open its panel and fix it there. When nothing is missing, Checkup says so.

The same problems are marked on library tiles with a small warning badge, so you notice them while browsing too.

Fixing many at once

For missing copyright or creator, set your own once in Settings ▸ Metadata. The row then offers Apply my copyright (or artist) to all of them. It only fills in the one field that’s missing; anything a photo already has is left alone. It can be undone, and like any edit, it’s written to your files when you save.

For missing GPS, see Map and GPX geotagging; for keywords, Apply keyword set….

Before sending photos to someone

Checkup tells you what’s missing; the Export dialog tells you what’s still there. It warns when photos you’re about to export still carry GPS or a camera serial number, so you can leave those out of the copies.
