I had version FileAssociationManager,exe v 1.2.5235.19622 and FileMeta.exe v 1.2.5235.0 installed. Downloading and installing latest 64 bit version I have FileMetaAssoc.exe v 1.5.6128.24231 last modified 11/10/2016 and FileMeta.exe is still 1. 2.5235.0.
FileAssocManager has a different interface where it is possible to add a File Meta handler to the extension .jpg. When this button is clicked, a message appears saying that this action will extend the existing handler and create a custom profile for the extension and asking if the use wishes to proceed.
Attempting to use FileMeta.exe to add a metadata field without extending the existing handler for .jpg (which is IpropertyStore Handler for Images) with the command
FileMeta.exe -i -x=SetTitle.xml File.jpg
results in the command prompt being returned with no indication that any metadata has been added, and FileMeta.exe -ec File.jpg does not return any values.
After clicking Yes for confirmation of extension of property handler the command
FileMeta.exe -i -x=SetTitle.xml File.jpg
returns Error 0x80030005 obtaining IPropertySetStorage
and
FileMeta.exe -ec File.jpg returns <Metadata/>
