I think I have mostly figured out how best to configure preferences to complement Capture One, but a solution to one problem, if there's one, would help.
It's the way XnView reads and writes the creator contact data from/to the sidecar XMP. Here is what I see. The yyIPTC… data came from XnView. The xx… data came from Capture One. Both end up in the XMP sidecar simultaneously. Flat entries vs. structured CreatorContactInfo entries. Hence these data are not passed back and forth.
Code: Select all
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity>yyIPTC City</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry>yyIPTC Country</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrExtadr>yyIPTC Contact</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrExtadr>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrPcode>yyIPTC Zip</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrPcode>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrRegion>yyIPTC State</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrRegion>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiEmailWork>yyIPTC email</Iptc4xmpCore:CiEmailWork>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiTelWork>yyIPTC tel</Iptc4xmpCore:CiTelWork>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork>yyIPTC website</Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CreatorContactInfo>
<rdf:Description>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiEmailWork>xxEmail</Iptc4xmpCore:CiEmailWork>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiTelWork>xxPhone</Iptc4xmpCore:CiTelWork>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrPcode>xxZip</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrPcode>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork>xxWebsite</Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrExtadr>xxAddress</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrExtadr>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity>xxCity</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry>xxCountry</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry>
<Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrRegion>xxState</Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrRegion>
</rdf:Description>
</Iptc4xmpCore:CreatorContactInfo>
So my questions are:
- Is there a configuration option I'm missing to change this?
- If not, is there a reason for this? Does other software need or prefer the flat structure in external XMP?
Thanks much and apologies if this has been discussed or documented. I did search.
