Update IPTC/XMP w/ TIFF
« on: May 20, 2015, 04:30:18 AM »
Hi,
I think it would be a nice feature to be able to use "Update IPTC/XMP" to syncronize metadata between a cr2/jpeg pair and a tiff file (with the same filename).
TIA

Yes! Good old catalog app iView had an Applescript that could transfer IPTC data from all selected files in a folder to files with the same base name in another folder. It was extremely useful, although there were some glitches (both in the script and the app itself :'(). It's still in Media Pro, but does not seem to work properly.

I would suggest two 'modes':
1. from selected files to files in other open contact sheets
2. from selected files to files in a target folder designated in a "choose folder" dialog
