Diiji:
Again, thanks for your diligent response. The problem is partially solved.
Years ago, when I first installed Windows 7, I bought a comprehensive manual. So I pulled it out again to better understand what you are talking about. In Explorer, under the Organize tab, I found that the Details pane was NOT selected. I selected, it, and now I see what you are seeing in the Details pane for all my File Metadata created files, as well as files that Windows already allowed to have comments, such as music, Office, etc.
But on my computers, there is a pane below the Details pane, which Windows calls the Status Bar, and is set on the View dropdown (the Status Bar is shown in the red boxes on screenshots 3 & 5 on the attachment I sent). Classic Explorer has the option for the Status Bar to display the SAME information as what one sees when one hovers over a file.
File Metadata does NOT, at least for me, display ANY info that I added with File Metadata either in the hover display (screenshot 2), or on the Status Bar (screenshot 3). For files that Windows has allowed to have comments, etc., the information is displayed when hover (screenshot 4) and on the Status Bar (no screenshot supplied). I don't know if you designed File Metadata to not work with hover & the Status Bar, or if I have a problem.
You might want to look at Classic Shell (which contains Classic Explorer). It is really quite powerful for a free utility. You can find it here:
