rename batch pictures with metadata size in cm in stead of pixels

[Eloi Koster]

Hi, i have a badge of pictures that I want to rename in bridge. Every picture has a different size. With the metadata I can add a colomn size hight and size width. So far so good. But the thing is I don’t want the size in pixels buth in cm. Is there a way to do this?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

This would require a custom JavaScript for Bridge...

Custom batch rename script automation:

A custom script would need to be created for this task. Physical/Print size is dependent on the resolution PPI/PPCM value. Is this PPI value consistent, or would one image be 72ppi and another 300ppi etc?

Multi-step script automation:

You could Batch Rename to pixels, then you could save the list of files as a CSV text file, then open it in a spreadsheet, split the text to columns, apply a formula to convert PX to CM, recombine the columns and then save out a new CSV file for another script to use to batch rename the existing files. Sounds harder than it really is, but this isn't my preferred approach, it just leverages existing scripts without a custom script being required.

I have a Photoshop script that would take very little effort to rework:

EDIT: Yet another option is a Bridge script that would populate an unused metadata field/s that is accessible to Bridge Batch Rename:
