Question

Actions recorder not recording

Hi, I open hundreds of photos a day in photoshop (CS-3) in order to extract embedded caption information using the commands: file-file info-copy, paste (to a Word document or InDesign). I tried the action recorder but it won't record those steps. It would be nice to have an action command that does this. A lot of our photos end up in Flickr and I notice that Flickr uses a caption extraction program b/c when we post photos there, it automatically strips out the caption info and posts it in a window below the photo. Any help much appreciated!

I don't know of a way to copy text into the clipboard, only image data. But
somebody else may have figured something out (via textItem.contents, perhaps).

Actions only record things _within_ photoshop. You could use BridgeTalk (in
JavaScript) to do this between PS and ID, but for Word you would need to use
AppleScript or VB.
