Export ITPC data to CSV format

[pdussart]

Sir,

If I understand correctly XnView, when you export ITPC data, all existing individual ITPC fields are converted to CSV, picture per picture.
The issue is that the CSV ouput records have a variable format with more or less fields, if your pictures have more or less ITPC fields filled or not.

Is there a feature to define a fixed output format, for instance to select only required fields, e.g. Caption, Author, Supplemental Category.
Empty fields would be either filled with a dummy value, say "x", or better there would be two consecutive separators in the CSV file.
Other field values would be just discarded.
The net result being a CSV file that would be read by Excel so that expected values would be present in the right columns

Yes, currently you can't choose which IPTC data you want to export

Pierre,

is there a plan to allow the selection of some IPTC fields, instead of a variable format ?
