Problem with writing metatdata
Jun 7, 2009 5:25 PM
I am no Lua coder but am muddling my way through. 
Here's my problem:
I have a dialog set up which allows a user to select from a dropdown any of the currently selected images. The remainder of the dialog will fill with the chosen image's metadata. The user can make changes. When done they press OK and the changes are written back to the catalog.
I must be missing something somewhere because whatever image is up when the user presses OK is the source for the metadata. So, all images selected get that image's metadata instead of what was in the fields for each image.
Here's the code used to write back the data.
activeCatalog:withWriteAccessDo( "Plugin Title", function()
local photosToUpdate = activeCatalog.targetPhotos
for i, photo in ipairs(photosToUpdate) do
photo:setRawMetadata('title',propertyTable.imageTitle)
photo:setRawMetadata('caption', propertyTable.imageDescription)
photo:setPropertyForPlugin(_PLUGIN,'relProperty', propertyTable.propertyReleaseStatus)
photo:setPropertyForPlugin(_PLUGIN,'relPropertyFile', propertyTable.propertyReleaseFile)
end
end )
