I'm evaluating XYplorer at this point.
All of my photo files have the names of the persons shown in the photo entered in the Tag filed. That is the Tag filed in the file IPTC fields. I've tried many ways to see those Tags using XYplorer but they never show up. Is there a trick to getting XYplorer to show, and allow editing of, the IPTC Tag field?
I have 50,000 photos and have spent untold numbers of hours entering Tags. One advantage of Tagging photos in the IPTC field group is the Tags are in the photo file. I can mail the photos and the person who receives the mail will receive photos tagged with all of the names of those in the photos (family genealogy work).
The Windows 7 Windows Explorer has the best viewer/editor for Tags that I've ever found. But Windows 7 is losing support as of January 2020 and the new File Manager of Windows 10 totally sucks as a Tag editor / viewer. The worst thing is File Manager alphabetically sorts the Tags - killing my work of entering names left-to-right.
I'm hoping XYplorer can fill this need but so far not as far as I can see.
Any help would be appreciated.

Provide one of those pictures by uploading it to some file hoster (e.g. drop box or something else) and post a link

Try it with a custom column and the exiv2 command line tool (XY does not support decoding the byte sequence for Exif.Image.XPKeywords):

Of course you have to change the path to exiv2.exe^^

Re: Tags / Keywords
@highend -- I haven't tried this but I'm a little confused as to what it achieves. Without any external software the Cameron Kelly (in the sample picture from the OP) shows up just fine in a custom column Property > Tags -- which is what I use all the time.
or one could search for these tags, again without any external software with things like
?prop:#018:Cameron
