add metadata via photoshop

[Mattmcquiff]

I have this script to currently use while about to save an image however I would like to remove the save as and just simply make a script that when run adds the metadata.

function saveAS() {
if(!documents.length) return;
activeDocument.info.captionWriter = "Editted_by_Test";
if(activeDocument.layers.length > 1){
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc3.putBoolean( stringIDToTypeID('maximizeCompatibility'), true );
desc2.putObject( charIDToTypeID('As  '), charIDToTypeID('Pht3'), desc3 );
try{executeAction( charIDToTypeID('save'), desc2, DialogModes.ALL );}catch(e){}
}else{
try{executeAction( charIDToTypeID('save'), undefined, DialogModes.ALL );}catch(e){}
}
};
#target photoshop

Many Thanks

Matt

Would the line

1. activeDocument.info.captionWriter = "Editted_by_Test"; 

suffice?

You know I swore I tried that. But yes that does suffice!

Many Thanks
