Is there a way where metadata created in the DAM can be retained, if I downloaded the asset and viewed it outside of AEM?

Yes - metadata is only a property on a node. You can write an external JCR API Java app that can query nodes and read props. Then store then in a collection - like an arraylist or something. Then write them out somewhere -ie - an excel report.

See this article for an idea:

Well more of retaining it rather than viewing it through a swing app.

IE:

If I download an asset on to my computer. I'd want to see the metadata when I view file properties.

Hi,

For all (?) fileformats, which support XMP metadata, the metadata are written back into the binary by default when you change them in AEM. So when you download the assets afterwards, they are contained within the binary asset itself.

kind regards,
Jörg
