…as you can with images? Didn’t see a way, might be handy if possible.

Does SetDocumentUserText do you any good?
Does Windows Explorer see that? I’m looking for a way to sort/find certain Rhino files by adding metadata…
Thx, --Mitch
Ah… I don’t think WE will see that.
Add info to _notes and the notes then appear in windows explorer preview pane in win7. Just tested and that works, which surprised me. Might not be exactly what you’re after though.

Hi Ncik,
can you elaborate a little bit please?
where did you find _notes?
I think you are looking for the Notes panel - either docked with the others or you can bring it up by typing _Notes.

Thanks, never used the notes panel haha. I just tried adding some notes and saving the file.
I don’t see the notes in Windows Explorer though.
I just turned all the categories on in the windows explorer with no luck (manually 
)
UPDATE: Don’t do this at home, as you’ll have to disable all the categories again.
I’ve used Notes a lot over the years and never knew about this, awesome feature! It seems to work alright on my system (Rhino 6.34.21034.7001 and Windows 10 Pro 2004) :

Wow - amazing and annoying.
Mine looks like this.
Looks like I have to turn on the preview pane, which, sadly, our IT policies for some reason don’t allow.
And I can supply that our IT has disabled it because the preview pane often locks files from being edited/deleted by other users. (Not a rhino issue, but a windows issue)
Yep, not a problem in a small office but can imagine it would be for a big office.
@sonderskovmathias - try turning on Explorer’s Preview Pane.
If it won’t turn on, perhaps you turn it on.
