EDIT: Bob beat me to it.
This might do.
It uses a csv file, three fields comma seperated.
FileName including path eg: c:/folder/picture.jpg
Title and Author details.
It updates the Title and Autor fields in IPTC.
To install unzip and place this script into the following folder:
Start Bridge
Edit - Preferences -Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be placed.
To use:
Mouse Right click (menu) and select "Update Entry Details"
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
addInfo = new MenuElement("command", "Update Entry Details", "at the end of Thumbnail");
}
addInfo .onSelect = function () {
main();
}
function main(){
var csv = File.openDialog("Please select CSV file.","CSV File:*.csv");
if(csv != null){
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]);
var title = inputArray[1];
var author = inputArray[2];
if(csvFile.exists){ //Check if file exists
writeMetadata(inputArray[0],inputArray[1],inputArray[2]);
}
}
}
}
}
function writeMetadata(file,title,author){
item = new Thumbnail(file);
md =item.synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
md.title = title;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
md.Author = author;
}
