Enter Dublin Core XMP in Bridge metadata window

Hi Regina

I add also to built this on the past months. Here is the result.

You cant try it first on STDK targeting bridge first but then oyu can put this code inside an '*.onClick' function action button on a snp subwindow on bridge.

This works well to create your own namespace and prefix or add properties on other existing namespaces. In this case I have used Dublin Core namespace

Hope it helps.

loadXMPLib();

// Here put the namepace and the prefix (you can create also your own new namespace and prefix)

// In this case, it uses the Dublin Core Properties

var psNamespace = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";

var psPrefix = "dc:";

XMPMeta.registerNamespace(psNamespace, psPrefix);

// Here you have to choose 1, 2, or multiple thumbnails. In this case it chooses all tiff files found on content pane.

var sels = app.document.visibleThumbnails;

for (var b in sels) {

    // Here I choose tif files, but you can set (cr2|raw|dng|nef/jpg) for raw and jpg files leave it empty for any file except folders

    if (sels.spec instanceof File && sels.name.match(/\.(cr2|raw|dng|nef)$/i)) {

        var xmp = new XMPMeta(sels.synchronousMetadata.serialize());       

        // I can create new Properties in Dublin Core and add values to them

        xmp.setProperty(psNamespace, "MyProp01", 'some text here');

        xmp.setProperty(psNamespace, "MyProp02", 'false');

        xmp.setProperty(psNamespace, "MyProp03", '32895665');

        xmp.setProperty(psNamespace, "MyProp04", 'label2');

        // Or, you can use the DublinCore native properties.

        // In this case, I want to ADD some text to 'Descrition' existing text ('Description is a 'langAlt' property)

        // First, I read any Descrition value and add it to a var

        var Description =  xmp.getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description",1);

        // Then I add may new tex to that existing value:

        // (I wanted to put the return '\r' (or new line '\n') to add new paragraphs in the middle of text: "\rline2\rline3")

        xmp.setLocalizedText(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", null, "x-default", Description + "\rlinha2\nlinha3");

        // If you want to delete any existing value and create new value directly use this instead:

        // xmp.setLocalizedText(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", null, "x-default", "Nota");

        //

        var updatedPacket = xmp.serialize(XMPConst.SERIALIZE_OMIT_PACKET_WRAPPER | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);

        sels.metadata = new Metadata(updatedPacket);
