You can configure the program so that it saves all or some fields in the files themselves. This way you can re-import the files and still have access to all the information. To ensure this happens for the fields you want written to your files, two things must be configured:
- Tag Writing must be enabled. Go to Tools > Options > General and enable "Update tags when file info changes".
- You can also quickly toggle this option on and off under the Edit menu.
- The Library Field must be set to store tags in files. Go to the Library Field Manager under Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Manage Library Fields, select a field in the list, press the Edit button, and check "Store in file tags (when possible)" box. Repeat for other fields.
