Well done! Good result. Thankfully, you were wise to choose IMatch :D

Please tell others about IMatch, via your social networks, community, fora etc.

Sure.

1. Check if ExifTool has provided and IMatch has imported the tag.
Select an image from your Leica and switch the Metadata Panel to the "Browser" layout. This shows you all the tags IMatch has imported for your file. Use the search function to search for the tag name, e.g. for look. Or for Leica.

2. If the tag is not listed, check in the Tag Manager if it is enabled for automatic import. Most proprietary maker notes are not useful for humans and IMatch does not import them to avoid flooding the database with trash data that is never needed.

Search for Tag Groups containing the name Leica in the list on the left. Then enable the additional tags you want to import. Follow the instructions on screen. You need to re-import the metadata after enabling the tag to bring it into the database.

When the tag is in the database, you can add it to the Default or a custom Metadata Panel layout (Metadata Panel Layouts), you can display it in File Windows via the corresponding variable, you can create a data-driven category  to automatically group your files based on the setting used etc. Have fun.

General Discussion and Questions / Leica Maker Note value
Last post by maxbelloni - November 03, 2024, 10:49:19 PM
There is a Leica Maker Note tag which is becoming very interesting for the Leica owners: it contains (when present) the "Leica Look" setting of the picture (Standard, Vivid, Monochrome, Monochrome High Contrast and so on). The tag (a string) is contained (according to Exiftool tags list) in the Panasonic Leica5 Tags, Tag Name FilmMode, ID 0x0412. Using ExiftoolGui the value is correctly shown.

Now the question is: is it possible, in some way, to show this value among the others in the Metadata panel? (and if yes, how?)

Many thanks in advance for any help... :)

Why not just use the People Filter with the unassigned faces option? Did you try that?
Bring all files in your database into a File Window (select the database node) and then apply the filter.
People Filter

As always, when you want to find/filter files using some criteria, the Filter Panel is the first thing to use.

Good to here. Just to add, the shortcut is also being shown in the command palette.

Have you used the search engine in the community to find what you are looking for?
You can use Google, e.g. searching for "IMatch categories into Keywords".

Or just look into the IMatch help: Copying IMatch Categories into Keywords

I have 2,109 Categories. I am nothing but thorough when tagging photos. I wish to know about getting those categories into keywords and then into the 240,000 photos.

The unconfirmed Faces now read 0 (zero). But the unassigned faces is over 14,800. And the Collections views does not show these faces. Where do I see those faces? Walk me through the menus so that I can follow along and get rid of that tip.

Quote from: mopperle on November 02, 2024, 12:11:47 PMYES, now I remember. Was only confused, as it is mentioned in the Help system.

I have removed it from the help topic. Forgot to do that when I removed the Quick Filter Ribbon from experimental features.
It will be back in IMatch 2025 - in IMatch and in the Help :)
