Merge partial IPTC templates into Stationary Pad or IPTC Editor
« on: December 12, 2015, 04:13:10 AM »
Hello!


In trying to help a colleague, we have noticed, it might be helpful IPTC stored templates to mix with the loaded template. For example, first load a default template and merge a second into the fields which are empty.

For example, we often photographing concerts in ever repeating locations (specific subset of fields - event and location, location taken and shown), which include certain specific subset of fields like special instructions, other agencies, source, but not the same photographer.

Here it would be very helpful to load the default template of the photographers and merge a stored template for the location which can be used by all photographers. At the moment it looks like load all or nothing.

PM's List feature seems not suitable for this. Too many fields have to match at a location together.

We would be pleased if this feature would come in a new version.

I quite like this idea! A feature to "add" instead of "replace" would be welcome indeed.
