Taken into context that you mentioned these notes were on photographs...

As a photographer (amateur) I have the following comments:

There are professional OpenSource photo management/workflow
applications that does just that.
A file manager does just that - manage files.

You can't blame the file manager for loosing such data, as a file
manager at minimum will only work with the file's properties that is
part of the underlying OS's file system. Anything more than that is a
feature which nobody should take for granted.

You can't blame a vehicle manufacturing company going green when you
just bought a 1000 barrels of fuel...
