IMPORTING keywords/metadata into Bridge

Jonathan / Jay did you get anywhere with this, I am trying to do the same. I know it can be done, as I have seen it a few months ago. Taking data from Filemaker and adding it into the metadata of a pdf. Has anybody got a script to amend slightly.

Thanks in anticipation.

I'm not a scripting guy, I have some basic knowledge, and I too, am looking for a method to automate the uploading of bulk metadata from an .xls spreadsheet into images via bridge.

What I am thinking is that there would be a spreadsheet with columns that would correspond to the standard metadata fields accessed through the "file info".

someone must have already developed this, I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel. I'm looking for something like a plug-in, but a working script would do fine.

Ok here is a quick idea on how to do it...
CSV file in the format
FULL filename including path
keywords seperated by a semicolon eg:
C:/Pictures/China/Paul/P1000662.JPG,Fred;Joe
C:/Pictures/China/Paul/P1000663.JPG,Graham;Paul
C:/Pictures/China/Paul/P1000664.JPG,Paul

code......

#target bridge
//Amend filename to suit
var csv = new File("c:/a/csvmetadata.csv");
csv.open("r");
while(!csv.eof){
strInputLine = csv.readln();
if (strInputLine.length > 3) { // Make sure it isn't a blank line
strInputLine = strInputLine.replace(/\\/g,'/'); //Change backslash to forward slash.
inputArray = strInputLine.split(",");
var csvFile = new File(inputArray[0]);
if(csvFile.exists){ //Check if file exists
writeMetadata(inputArray[0],inputArray[1]);
}
}
}

function writeMetadata(file,keys){
item = new Thumbnail(file);
md =item.synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
md.Keywords = md.Keywords + ";" + keys; //Append keywords
}
