 * Hi, just wondering if this or any one of your other plugins use IPTC fields to
   fill in Title, ALT Text, and Description on images? Seems as if you only focus
   on EXIF which is also nice. Would however be so convenient to utilize the tagging
   in IMS from most photo editing software 🙂

 * Hey [@jenzgaard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenzgaard/)! 👋
 * The plugin uses WordPress core functions to access media metadata. Since WordPress
   relies solely on EXIF data, the plugin will as well. Hope this helps!

 * Hey, thx for the reply – just still a bit confused. You explain it’s not possible
   due to WP core functions. However, the other plugin – WP/LR Sync – seems to do
   part of the job, no? – [https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/issues/](https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/issues/)
   FAQ, common qs.: How to automatically link some EXIF/IPTC data to a specific 
   custom field/meta in WordPress? And via tha API – [https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/api/](https://meowapps.com/wplr-sync/api/)
   it mentions both keywords and tags.
 * So, without being a programmer myself, I’m trying to convince you, it’s possible
   through you’re own descriptions 😉
 * In other words, with all these great image Meow-plugins, it seems as a win fetching
   standard image fields into standard WP fields important for filtering, organizing
   and SEO (instead of using Media Library Assistant).

 * Hey [@jenzgaard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenzgaard/)! 👋
 * Concerning IPTC, we redirect users to the plugin called [Media Library Assistant](https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-library-assistant/)
   and the code available [here](https://gist.github.com/jordymeow/22a365165c9757ed0014877c3fb4fbac)
   but this is not done by us in our plugin directly. So maybe in the future, but
   that is not the case right now. Thanks!
