Exporting metadata from Photo Mechanic

[jeremynicholl]

Is there any way to export data fields from PM in the same way as from, for instance, iView Media Pro? I’d like to be able to export some of the fields - Caption, Headline, Object Name, etc - into a word processing doc with tab or comma delineated fields or into a spreadsheet.

Has anyone managed to do this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Use the "Text" exporter template in the Exporter dialog.  Use {variables} to layout the data the way you like it. {tab} will give you a Tab character in the output, and {nl} will give you newline character(s) in the output so you can output paragraphs if you like.

HTH,
