I just discovered that QI does not recongnise info from IPTC data that written in Korean.
I’m using Korean version of Vista 64.
Is there any workaround to printing IPTC Caption/Description that written in Asian double-byte characters?

An interesting finding.
If I put image file name in Korean letter, QI prints file name in Korean but not IPTC data.
Sort of found a solution but it is not really helping me as I have to rename over 600 scanned images. Grin

I have read IPTC standard and found following under FAQ:
Can I use IPTC standards even if English is not used at my company?
Of course! All IPTC standards are designed to be independent of any specific language. Although our publications are written in English and meetings are conducted in English, every recent standard is usable by any written language that is supported by Unicode.

There is a routine in the right click menu that will AUTO RENAME the selected thumbnails.
You set the parameters of the renaming, and select as many thumbs as you want to do at one sweep, and Qimage will do it for you.
I just tested it, and I renamed a bunch of images to the EXIF date the pictures were taken including Year, Month, Day, Hour, minute and second, if that will help.
Or there are other renaming solutions to choose from if you don't like the EXIF route.
