Classification of pictures
Is there a tag, where a picture can be flagged as "family-friendly", "adult-content", painting, a.s.o.?

Re: Classification of pictures
I'm not aware of a tag like this, although it sounds like a really common piece of information that many people could use.

Unless someone comes up with a better idea, there are 2 things I can think of: 1) Pick one of the many description tags for this purpose, or 2) define your own XMP tag. Personally I'd go with 2 myself.

Re: Classification of pictures
Phil, do I need all the things mentioned at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/faq.html#Q11? I would like to write a tag, eg. called "xmp:mytag" with a content "painting" from a bash script and I don't want to define config-files or whatever. If this is not possible I will search for a description tag.

Re: Classification of pictures
User-defined tags are added via a configuration file. There is a sample config file included with the full distribution. But it sounds like a Description tag may be the way to go for you.
