Nikon Flash Group info within Info Text

[bmaphis]

Is there a way to display Nikon Flash Group A,B,C information within the Info Text (or otherwise)? 

I've seen a few threads, but nothing seems to directly address this question. 

4.6.5, Win7.  I'm relatively new to PM.  Thanks for the help.

There is no way to display that information in Photo Mechanic.  To my knowledge, only Nikon's software is capable of displaying that information.

Ben,
Perhaps you could use ExifTool to extract that information; for a pretty exhaustive list of Nikon tags see http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Nikon.html. A simple script could then copy that information to an IPTC field for PM to display.
Just a thought ...

I tried displaying various flash-related info with ExifTool and it didn't show any of what Nikon's View NX will show.  It appears that the information is proprietary and hasn't been publicly determined how to decipher the data.
