On most files I can individually add Author name but somtimes it will not
accept any Author name. Why?

I cannot batch select a range of files with Control-A and add an Author
name. Why?

Any advise on these two problems would be appreciated.

So far, I have been able to add an Author to .JPG files individually
with no problem.

What does "it will not accept an Author name" mean exactly? You can't
type in the box, you can't apply it, you get an error? Is the file
read only?

If I choose several .JPGs, the Author section in Properties is grayed
out, probably what you see. If the file is read only, the Property
fields are also grayed out.

Soooo, a quick Google search of: batch jpg property change

turned up this which may help: http://3d2f.com/programs/2-581-file-...download.shtml

I didn't download it, try it, don't recommend it, am not responsible,
and didn't even read much about it but it speaks very highly of itself
and it is FREE! and EASY!

It may be a dangerous piece of dung, but try Googling a bit and maybe
you can find something if this doesn't do it..
