Can anyone tell me why, oh why, if these "Windows" EXIF fields
show up in a
text editor (I mean, ther're definitely in there y'know) and
Photome shows them, why do they not appear in Irfanview,

They are accessible in IrfanView:
- Image -> Information -> ExifInfo
- Image -> Information -> IPTC Info -> "Caption" and "Origin"
tabs

I don't know about all fields, but at least those I tried do
show up.

Yes, Irfanview is good like that, but although it shows a lot of
EXIF and IPTC data it doesn't show any of the embedded fields
from MS Digital Image even though the wretched things are
embedded in the file! It's enough to make you spit! Now MD have
discontinued Digital Image and want everyone to go Photo Gallery
which is no more than a simple toy by comparison. And I refuse
to be manipulated towards using their Live services.

You might want to see if there's a Windows port of exiftool. It
shows and allows writing to about a million (I exaggerate)
different EXIF and IPTC fields. Far more than any Windows or non-
Windows apps/utils I've seen. And I think it uses the proper
labels for them; I've seen the same data field called *different
things* between different programs, even when they do see them.
