append a word "webshop" to the title

[Jörn5F90]

Hello together,

i need your help to append my title with a word "webshop".

example:

current title:

car 01

new tittle:

car 01 webshop

I have the code but it doesn't work:

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
FT = MenuElement.create("command", "Add Webshop to Title", "at the end of Tools");
}
FT.onSelect = function () {
AddWebshopToTitle();
}

function AddWebshopToTitle(){
var thumbs = app.document.selections;
if(!thumbs.length) return;
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new
ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
for(var a in thumbs){
var selectedFile = thumbs[a].spec;
/*var Title = decodeURI(selectedFile.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '')//([0-9/[-].jpg/]*) nur name*/
var webshop = "Webshop"
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN,
XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
/*myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title");*/
myXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", webshop, 0,
XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT);
myXmp.setQualifier(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title[1]",
"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");
if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
}
}
}

Thank you

I found a solution

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
FT = MenuElement.create("command", "Testing", "at the end of Tools");
}
FT.onSelect = function () {
var thumbs = app.document.selections;
if(!thumbs.length) return;
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
for(var a in thumbs){
var selectedFile = thumbs[a].spec;
/*var FileName = decodeURI(selectedFile.name).slice(0,7);*/
var TitleName = decodeURI(selectedFile.title);
var webshop = "Colour Swatch Webshop"
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
var Desc=[];
var count = myXmp.countArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title");
for(var i = 1;i <= count;i++){
Desc.push(myXmp.getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", i));
}
Desc=Desc.toString() + " " + webshop;
myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title");
myXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", Desc, 0, XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT);
myXmp.setQualifier(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title[1]", "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");
if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
}
}
}

Now I want to copy the title field behind the semicolon like:

car webshop; car webshop

here my code, but doesn't work:

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
FT = MenuElement.create("command", "Testing1", "at the end of Tools");
}
FT.onSelect = function () {
var thumbs = app.document.selections;
if(!thumbs.length) return;
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
for(var a in thumbs){
var selectedFile = thumbs[a].spec;
/*var FileName = decodeURI(selectedFile.name).slice(0,7);*/
var TitleName = decodeURI(selectedFile.title);
var webshop = ";"
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
var Desc=[];
var count = myXmp.countArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title");
for(var i = 1;i <= count;i++){
Desc.push(myXmp.getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", i));
}
Desc=Desc.toString() + " " + webshop + " " + TitleName;
myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title");
myXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", Desc, 0, XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT);
myXmp.setQualifier(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title[1]", "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");
if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
}
}
}

I don't think selectedFile.title will read the current title field, if that's what you are tyring to do.

You are doing a lot of changes with multiple scripts. Maybe it would be better to export the metadata to a spreadsheet, fix everything once, then import it back to the images and be finished.

[Jörn5F90]

How can i transfer it to a spreadsheet, do have a snippet of script?

[gregreser]

ExifTool is good for this, but it's command line and requires a little more work.

You can try this: Adobe Bridge User Customizable Export-Import

I can't find where this script came from, I'm guessing Paul Riggott.

I made some cosmetic changes to the GUI for modern versions of Bridge.

Regular Expression Based Find:

$

Replace:

; webshop

So @Jörn5F90 – where did you end up?

[Jörn5F90]

Hello together,

i need your help

i have this titel

"car blue; Auto blau"

How can I add webshop to title before and after the semicolon like this

"car blue webshop; Auto blau webshop"

Thanks, Jörn

[DeepakSingla]

Hi,

Could you please provide more information on what is the issue and how can we reproduce it on our end?

Can you please share the Bridge Version as well?

Thanks,

Bridge Team

[Lumigraphics]

You would need to write a script that read the Title field, used a regular expression to add your text, and wrote it back out. This might be easier with exiftool instead of Bridge.

[Stephen Marsh]

@Jörn5F90 

Using the previous "Title Editor" script, you can use the following regular expression find/replace:

Find:

(^.+)(;)(.+)

Replace:

$1 webshop;$3 webshop

or if you want space after the semi-colon

$1 webshop; $3 webshop

This assumes that the "quote marks" don't actually exist in the title and that there are only two entries, separated by a semi-colon.

[Jörn5F90]

Thank you it works

Please log-in and mark it as a correct answer if this works.

Your script isn’t modifying the existing title. It is just adding a new array item, so “Webshop” doesn’t appear after the current title. To fix it, you need to read the current title, append “Webshop” to it, and write it back. Your namespace usage with x-default and http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace is correct. I can rewrite the script to automatically append “Webshop” to selected files’ titles without overwriting or creating extra entries.

It also includes a reference link for more information on XML and XMP namespaces: https://2wins.eu
