Question
Accessing a Thumbnails metadata
With Photoshop, activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData will give me a string that contains an images metadata. From that I can extract what I want.
Is there a way of achieving something similar with Bridge.
Ideally I would like the same again, a string containing everything. If that is impossible perhaps a series of strings for each namespace?
And, a way of reading those namespaces without knowing what they are in advance?
I can see ImportCamera is doing something along these lines (for example - in the rename dialog it seems to be generating the dropdown metadata namespace list eg IPTC, or EXIF on the fly - at least I can't find the source text 'IPTC').
It would be very helpful to have a direct way of obtaining all of an images xmp metadata without having to make specific requests as to namespace and identifier and without having to open the image in PS.
