Add previous caption

[SamFrost]

Would it be possible to add a "Previous" button to the IPTC Info window?  I'm thinking of when I'm working through photos adding captions (not batch applying, but going through adding names and details to individual photos) and it sometimes I have a couple of images that need the same caption.  I can use the copy and paste buttons, but more often than not I'm already on the second photo when I realise I needed to copy the last one.  A button that simply applies the IPTC  from the previous image would be very useful.

Sam,

Would it be possible to add a "Previous" button to the IPTC Info window?  I'm thinking of when I'm working through photos adding captions (not batch applying, but going through adding names and details to individual photos) and it sometimes I have a couple of images that need the same caption.  I can use the copy and paste buttons, but more often than not I'm already on the second photo when I realise I needed to copy the last one.  A button that simply applies the IPTC  from the previous image would be very useful.

And it would copy and paste everything?

Caption and keywords are the main things, but to paste everything would make most sense and avoid confusion.  I'm imagining it as a faster, very specific version of the IPTC snapshot that can be taken and pasted from the contextual menu in the contact sheet.

In these circumstances, I find it is pretty fast and effect to use the navigation buttons in the IPTC Info dialog to go back to the previous picture, hit the copy button, and the go forward to the next image and hit the paste button. Yeah, it's a few mouse clicks, but it only takes 2 seconds.

That's what I do at the moment, but a quicker way would be welcome.  I'd rather see the cataloging features first though

Adding a button to Copy previous IPTC could be helpful. Maybe copying only those fields marked in the IPTC Stationery Pad to be inserted? I keep a lot of fields specific to the field they are used in (storing previous and actual filenames for further renaming purposes) and I don't want to loose them due such a feature, but copying the previous could be helpful.
