IPTC Pad appending to Caption
« on: April 03, 2009, 10:02:04 AM »
With the newest beta, when I apply the IPTC Pad, it appends to whatever is already in the caption field. For example, if the IPTC caption field contains "ABC" and I apply a new caption of "DEF", the result is "ABCDEF".

Do you have the '+' checkbox set?  If you do, then it will append.  If you uncheck it, it will replace.

I'm not worthy... :-[

I gotta open my eyes, I've never noticed the check box before!

Thanks Kirk,
