IPTC copy and erase

[vAfotoriporter]

As I newly switching from PC based Breeze I miss the wery useful EXIF/IPTC copy feature. Breeze Browser offers to copy your allready set IPTC data and all EXIF onto your files with the same name in a different directory. It is wery handy when you have different versions of the same image. Not only originals but different type processed images stored in different directories. I also miss the reverse option from Breeze. In it you can only copy from RAW to JPG or from JPG to JPG. For EXIF I completely understand it, but sometimes I caption the JPEG version (easyer to have it on a PenDrive or laptop than all your RAWs) and it would be much easyer to simply copy the IPTC data with a few clicks from the JPEG to the RAW.

Sometimes I have a similar problem as mentioned in topic http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=773.0 so a selective metadata erase or such an export function would be nice.

You can copy metadata from RAW->JPEG and JPEG->RAW even if the two sets of files are in two folders.  Just open the two folders (the one containing the JPEGs and the one containing the RAW files) as a single contact sheet and then use the Update IPTC/XMP tool.

It's not as general purpose as the one you have described but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Thank you it solves a part of my current problem. Not a complete solution for everything, but does the most part. Just an annoying addition? Does this feature allow all IPTC fields (allready filled in the file) to be copied or only those PM regularly uses (which is less or different that I used to fill with a different program)?

It duplicates the entire IPTC record.
