[Rearranging for reading order] [vishwajeet singh wrote] I am trying to read properties of file on windows like there is a property call Keywords on file; I am to read this property independent of file type.

It does not seems to be working for jpg and in general with image files any pointers on that.
It would probably help if you specified what "does not seem[s] to be working" meant. But I assume that you mean: if you add a Title into the Summary on a JPEG then it doesn't get picked up by the script. What's happening here (I think) is that for media types -- images, movies, etc. -- the [Summary] property sheet is overridden, probably by Windows Media Player which will use the properties embedded in the JPEG (EXIF) or WMV. This isn't Structured Storage as such and so isn't extracted by the script I showed. If I get a chance, I'll look into this a bit further.
