[0.33] IPTC/XMP Editing suggestion
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 8:51 am
It would be nice to have a buttom to reset the form in case you want to add a keyword* to files having some keywords already in order to avoid to have to delete manually all existing keywords into the form.
* or supplemental category or content location names. By the way, the option should be labelled "Add new value to array (Keywords & supplemental categories & content location names)"
It seems to me there are two different use cases :
- to modify individually a selection of files (i.e. without the need to call the IPTC/XMP Editor for each file) => the form is displayed fullfilled with metadata of the current file ; the user modify some fields and 'Save' the file ; multiple selection options don't apply
- to modify some fields of a selection at the same time => the form is displayed empty ; the user fulfill some fields and 'Save all' files ; multiple selection options apply
There is even a third use case : the user want to delete a field (or an item of a list) from a selection...
You could check the way ExiftoolGUI (for example) does all that (I am not saying it offers the best or only way to do it).
