Abilty to use FieldNames the same way as Alias

[Mark S]

I would like to be able to use "Field Name" the same way I use "Alias" name to "Set Info Text".

Without a feature like this it means that after entering data into the "Artwork or Objects" fields successfully, there is currently no way to display this information with the "Info Text" pop-up (or display it in a thumbnail label).

Mark,

What do you mean by "Alias" name?  Do you mean the various {variables} in Photo Mechanic?  There are no variables for the fields in Artwork or Objects at this time.  That metadata is actually an array of data structures and PM doesn't have a way to choose an item in the array or any way to iterate over it.

Hi Kirk,

Yes, I meant variables. I was looking at the searchable fields in the search settings where variables are listed as "field names or alias". I (wrongly) assumed that something like {artobj.styleperiod} could be used like a variable.

Thanks for responding so promptly.
