Metadata Options

Metadata	Enable Spotlight Comments	By default, ACDSee's ability to read spotlight comments saved to files is disabled in order to improve browsing performance. When enabled, you can view and edit spotlight comments for your selected image in the Spotlight Comments field in the Properties pane.
	Display embed ACDSee metadata reminder	Displays a reminder to embed ACDSee Metadata. If you edit or add ACDSee Metadata to your files, ACDSee automatically adds the new data to its database. If you have this option enabled, next time you close ACDSee, the Embed ACDSee Metadata in Files dialog box opens and offers to embed the new data into the changed files themselves.
