That's because whatever you are using for conversion is stripping the
EXIF data; while the file may be a JPEG file, it doesn't contain any
tags (or at least none I can find). This makes ScanTags pointless.
If you give it a JPEG produced in-camera, or produced by software (such
as Photoshop) that preserves the EXIF data, it should show you the tags.

Hmm. I wonder how that one got left out? Fixed in latest version.

Another feature you might find useful: If you run it as a command-line
utility like this:
ScanTags @FileList.txt >ScanTags.txt
where FileList.txt contains a list of file paths, one per line, you can
process a whole lot of files at one time.
