IPTC Info - copy & paste but exclude Title/Object Name

[davidgordon]

I use the IPTC Info window a lot to caption. Sometimes I want the same caption across a few pictures so its easier to copy and paste using that window. But this copies and pastes all IPTC fields. My Title/Object Name is unique for each picture. I'd like to copy & paste but exclude the Title/Object Name so it stays as originally entered. Is this possible?

Thanks!

David,

There is no customization of the Copy/Paste buttons in the IPTC Info dialog.  You can use copy and paste (the standard clipboard) manually to copy just the Title/Object Name of the next image, paste the entire IPTC Info, and then paste the copied Title/Object Name back.

That's the best solution I can think of at this time.

Thanks Kirk, that confirms what I though.

I haven't had time to try but I guess I could set the Title/Object Name to the variable {filenamebase} when copying the IPTC Info. That should keep it as set and save me doing another copy/paste.

Thanks again.
