Keywords,
« on: June 02, 2009, 04:29:45 AM »
Hello,

I am working with Mac OSX 10.5.7, Photomechanic 4.6
I use Photomechanic for captioning all my photos.
Now I am starting up a new database with the Fotoware programms.
I want to import my keywords, Supl.Categories, etc into Fotostation.
Wher can I find the TXT file with my keywords, etc.

Thanks,
Dirk

You can export simple lists as a text file from the popup menu buttons that are on the right side of each IPTC field in the IPTC Info or IPTC Stationery Pad dialog.  Use the 'Edit Keywords...' (for example) and then use the Export button in the dialog that appears.  Please note that if you use accented characters that they will be represented in the text file in the UTF-8 Unicode text format.  You may have to convert the the text encoding to a different format that Fotoware's applications prefer.
