Export ITPC data to CSV format
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:28 pm
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
Regards, Philippe
