Export Metadata

I recently had to reinstall Adobe Bridge. I used to have the capability to export selected metadata using a function labeled "Metadata" which was located in the area of Tools, Window, Help. Today, I can no longer find the plugin / script that did that.

I did find the options listed at

https://prepression.blogspot.com/2016/08/extracting-metadata-to-csv.html

None of them looked like what I wanted.

I did try Adobe Bridge Script – Extract Metadata, by Paul Riggott

It installed to an older version of Bridge on my computer and made it so the newest version had to be uninstalled and then reinstalled. The Paul Riggott version does look like something I've used in the past.

Did the latest version of Bridge make all metadata export options no longer valid?

I have it installed in Bridge 2024... I just tested and it does still work.

Bridge does not have a built-in data export function. There are a number of scripts that do this, Paul Riggott wrote a couple, I have one, I also have a script to integrate EXIFTool with Bridge that will export data. But you do have to use an add-on, write your own, or use a different application.
