SwapNeat File Property Pages

If you share files with friends and family, and they need a way to view embedded metadata, they can download the free SwapNeat Metadata Tools intstaller package. The package includes the SwapNeat File Property Pages, which provide direct access to metadata from Windows Explorer.

They are accessed via the standard “file properties” dialog. When you click the secondary mouse button on a file icon in Windows Explorer, a context menu is displayed.

At the bottom of the context menu is the “Properties” item.

When this menu item is activated, the file’s Properties dialog is displayed.

Whenever the properties of a photo, music, or video clip file are examined, the Property Sheet will have additional pages that show the embedded metadata. No need to launch a program to examine the tags.
