Question

Relink Images Based on IPTC Field

Is there a script available that will relink images based on a specified IPTC field instead of the image's filename? In my case I need a script that will relink based on the ITPC field "source."

The images in question have already been renamed, but the original filename + ext (the one InDesign is looking for) is in the IPTC Source field.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You mean the script has to find the image based on its metadata and then link it?

A Bridge/InDesign script is probably the best way to do that.

Not a 5 second script...

Yes that sounds right
