I've been working on getting tags -> exif working with a friend.
Uses a powershell script to regex tags out of a filename.
I've brought the idea up before, and we know it's not for putting files back into the database due to a changed hash, but it's more so for external storage.
Back on point, I seem to have a compromise on our method, as we overlooked the maximum amount of characters allowed for files (I defaulted to this case as it's a general IO error, exhibit a).
A new method I'm concepting, is to match a image hash, example 5a1.jpg to a palintext document, example 5a1.txt.
From there, as we've already regexed' the filename, we can query a text document to scan an use a program to add these tags to a files exif.
Problem is that since a while ago, tags used to be stored differently, allowing them to be obtained using regular methods, but this was scrapped in favour of a better system for databases.
So I'm asking if it's able to implement a method that allows plaintext tags, and if possible in a method that doesn't seem counter intuitive to our current method
Currently, we've been using Exhibit B to export our files
