Searching in PNG tEXt chunks

[ydfsjkowp]

I have many PNG images that contain text info in their tEXt chunk info. For example:

image.png (53.06 KiB) Viewed 1853 times

Is it possible to make Everything search for text in the PNG tEXt chunk info?

I have attached an example image with some tEXt info to this post.

[void]

Everything only supports the following PNG tEXt chunks:

• Software
• Author
• Title
• Comment
• Description
• Copyright

I have put on my TODO list to add a generic PNG tEXt property that lists all PNG tEXt chunks.

Thanks for the info! At the moment, how do you search by those builtin tEXt chunks, and are they indexed by everything?

[void]

To find png files with at least one of the supported tEXt chunks, include the following in your search:

Code: Select all

*.png add-column:software;author;title;comment;description;copyright <software: | author: | title: | comment: | description: | copyright:>

This will show all supported tEXt chunk columns and show png files where at least one of the supported tEXt chunks is defined.


Search Syntax:

Code: Select all

*.png software:"My software tag"
*.png author:"My Author"
*.png title:"My Title"
*.png comment:"My Comment"
*.png description:"My Description"
*.png copyright:"My Copyright"

To index these properties:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Properties tab on the left.
• Click Add....
• Select: your desired property to index and click OK.
  (repeat for additional properties)
• Click OK.
