Add an option to "Don't keep MicrosoftPhoto:Rating when rate photos"

Post by johnny_temp »

Thanks for the great app.

I would like to use the app to rate photos. However, there will be an unsync issue if MicrosoftPhoto:Rating is written when I rate a photo from this app.

I use Adobe Bridge CC occasionally. If later I update the same photo with a different rating in Adobe Bridge CC, MicrosoftPhoto:Rating will not be touched by "Adobe Bridge" because it only update XMP:rating. File Explorer will still see old rated stars. The two rating values will be mismatching.

It solves if there is an option to "Don't keep MicrosoftPhoto:Rating when rate photos" or "Save only XMP:Rating when rate photos". In this way, all apps should work fine, including File Explorer which can also read XMP:rating. I will not worry about unsync issue later.

Thanks.
