metadata keyword: utility script pack VS exiftool
goodmorning community,
I've installed and tested utility script pack on Adobe Bridge (macOS).
My goal is to tag INDD and PDF documents, adding keywords metadata to a lot of files.
This is the keyords structure I want to apply:
After applying keywords I want to create a document with a list of all files and the specific keyword applied.
To do this I've installed utility script pack on my Adobe Bridge (macos) and run Folder List Export script.
It seems this script always export every single keyword and also hierarchical structure. This is a little bit complicated to manage in Excel. This is the file generated by the script:
/011-Doc_Tec_Com/001-Inverter
34 Items.

I dont know how to exclude the hierarchical structure information from the output of the Folder List Export script, keeping only keywords.
To solve the problem I have tested exiftool.
this tool assigns the names "subject" and "hierarchical subject" respectively to the keyword and to the hierarchical structure of the keywords.
the commandline output generate the list I need.
after a while I try with powershell.
what is your opinion about the Folder List Export script ?
thx
