I am working on Photo Mechanic 6 and also on Photo Mechanic Plus

There was very helpful post here: https://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=10065.0 about exporting metadata from images into a CSV file. Building on that, I wanted to export the data of a particular IPTC field "Supplier's Image ID" in such a export, but I could not find it among the Variables options. The IPTC field in question is     

plus:ImageSupplierImageID

Is there a way to do this or for any field that is not listed as a Variable?

Sincerely,

David

Hello David,

The variable you are looking for is the {imagesupplierimageid} or {isii}.

Best regards,

Hello David,

Photo Mechanic's Variables list can be accessed from the Variables button at the bottom of any dialog that use them. Go to the IPTC Field section to access the variables for each of the IPTC dialog fields. Selecting a variable in the list will show a brief description at the top of the list.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

--Bob

Dear Bob,

Thank you so much, this is very helpful. I did look through that list and could not see that field you highlighted to me. Is there any way to search that variables list?

Sincerely,

David

You may find this list of Photo Mechanic variables helpful. At least I hope you do.
