I just installed File Metadata 1.3 (64 bit) on my Windows 7 Pro (64 bit computer).
Installation went fine. This truly is a worthwhile addition, and it is too bad that M'soft did not include the function after XP.
I set it up initially for .txt files, and chose 'Simple'. I am able to add the metadata information with no problem. Right clicking on the file, and opening the Details tab shows what I added (Title & Comments). Also, I added a 'Comments' column to Explorer, and in Detail mode my comments appear.
But hovering over the file does not show either the Metadata properties (Title & Comments) or the text I entered. Likewise, nothing appears in the preview area at the bottom of Explorer when I click on the file.
I don't think it is a problem with my Explorer, because when I hover or click on your .msi file that I downloaded, all that information appears as it should.
I rebooted my computer, but that made no difference. Any idea what the problem might be?
Also, when I open the Association Manager, at the bottom left is a button which says 'Restart Explorer'. Exactly what does that do? Are you only closing and reopening Explorer, or something more?
