Title: Image Batch Processor - Metadata Question
Post by: picolo on June 17, 2014, 09:16:26 PM
I have a little problem with the Image Batch Processor.
In the Windows Details field "Betreff" I would like to see the "Headline"
In the Windows Details field "Kommetare" I would like to see the "Description"

Is this possible with the Batch Processor and if so, how can I do that.

Any help appreciated

Regards,
Michael

Windows goes very mysterious ways to fill this data.

The Title is filled from the Title tag you see in IMatch.
Tags are flat keywords.
the Subject seems to the proprietary XM:Subject tag.

I suggest you take one of your images, fill in this information in Windows Explorer and then, after IMatch has rescanned the image, look in the Metadata Panel which tags have been filled. Then you know what to fill out in IMatch and what to export in the Batch Processor. You can also use the "Custom Metadata" in the Batch Processor to fill tags with data only for Windows.

In this example: How can I tell IMs Batch Processor to fill the "XM:Subject tag" with the text of the "headline"?

Thanks for your help

You can fill the XP Subject tag in the IMatch Metadata Panel. Just add that tag to one of your layouts.
You can copy data from the headline tag to the XP subject tag with a Metadata Template.

If you want to fill this tag only if a file is produced by the Batch Processor, use the Custom Metadata option. Fill the XP subject tag from the existing XMP headline using a variable. CopyPaste this into the Custom Metadata edit box in your Batch Processor Preset:

-xpsubject={File.MD.XMP::photoshop\Headline\Headline\0}


(Now, try this in one of the competing products  ;D )

Thanks Mario, it works!

IMatch 5 is the best...
I would say IMatch 5 is a "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" in Regard of DAM-Software? ;D

Well, maybe this sounds a bit "hard", but yes, IM5 goes into this direction!  :D
