The application requires Ghostscript, Dotnet 8, and a version of ImageMagick must be installed on the machine running the tool
"Upload metadata tags" are metadata fields populated with information about the physical file or information embedded in the physical file.
This could, for instance, be:
Image information (width, height, etc.)
IPTC data
Exif data
XMP Data
Each metafield definition has a field called Upload-tag-Name on the metafield label tab.
This field should be populated with the key of the value to be inserted. An example could be “JPEG:Compression Type = Baseline“, where “JPEG:Compression Type“ is the key, and “Baseline“ the value.
These key-value pairs are found using this tool
The embedded tool takes as input the physical file path used as a reference and prints out a list of key-value pairs.
MediaTagExtractor.exe C:\path\To\My\File.jpg
The output, as mentioned, will be a list of key-value pairs that look like this:
Output
JPEG:Compression Type = Baseline JPEG:Data Precision = 8 bits JPEG:Image Height = 4888 pixels JPEG:Image Width = 7199 pixels JPEG:Number of Components = 3 JPEG:Component 1 = Y component: Quantization table 0, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert JPEG:Component 2 = Cb component: Quantization table 1, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert JPEG:Component 3 = Cr component: Quantization table 1, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert Exif IFD0:Image Description = The entrance to Michael Jordan Steak House on the Magnificient Mile in Chicago. Photo by: www.caughtinpixels.com Exif IFD0:Make = NIKON CORPORATION Exif IFD0:Model = NIKON D800 Exif IFD0:X Resolution = 240 dots per inch Exif IFD0:Y Resolution = 240 dots per inch Exif IFD0:Resolution Unit = Inch Exif IFD0:Software = Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.0 (Windows) Exif IFD0:Date/Time = 2014:03:28 09:41:12
Where the left-hand side is the key, and the right-hand side is the value.
The key is then populated in the Upload-tag-Name on the metafield label tab.
Example guide:
click on the settings icon: 
→ System administration → METADATA → Asset info → click on 
and add new meta field
