Trying to use 'Custom Labels' to display the metadata DATE and DESCRIPTION

[kbyork]

I would like to use 'Custom Labels' to display the metadata DATE and DESCRIPTION of photos.
But of course, this data is not in a single location:

Code: Select all

In SETTINGS > Thumbnail > Labels > Custom Label:
------------ DATE -----------
{EXIF:Date Taken [Y-m-d]}	EXIF Image	Date Taken
				XMP  xmp	CreateDate
				XMP  exif	DateTimeOriginal
{IPTC:Created Date}		IPTC Origin	Created Date

-------- DESCRIPTION --------
{EXIF:Image Description}	EXIF Camera	Image Description
{EXIF:XPTitle}			EXIF Camera	XPTitle
{EXIF:XPSubject}		EXIF Camera	XPSubject
				XMP  dc		title
				XMP  dc		description
{IPTC:Headline}			IPTC Caption	Headline
{IPTC:Caption}			IPTC Caption	Caption

Giving me two problems:

1. what script variables do I use for:
   • XMP xmp CreateDate
   • XMP exif DateTimeOriginal
   • XMP dc title
   • XMP dc description
2. Is there an OR command (or similar) I can use to combine these variables.
   (to just return the first non-empty variable)

I am thinking something like: {EXIF:Image Description}||{EXIF:XPTitle}||{EXIF:XPSubject}

• XMP xmp CreateDate
• XMP exif DateTimeOriginal
• XMP dc title
• XMP dc description

XMP:Title, XMP:Description
XMP date not yet supported

[*]Is there an OR command (or similar) I can use to combine these variables.

No

Add my vote for this capability. The xmp:title would be very helpful in the browser as my filenames remain the sequential names assigned by the camera and the title tells me what they are about.
