Its possible, in the metadata sceen you can only select what you want, mark only the check boxes you want to show

Thanks. I will have already entered standard metadata by a preset. What I want is a table to replace the one attached, that just shows Title, Headline and Caption (Description), so that I can enter these data for each individual image.

See http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail& loc=en_us&extid=2424522 or http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-presets .

Or make your own - there's an example in the SDK.

ExifMeta also lets you configure tagsets (metadata viewing "presets")

Pros: Allows you to incorporate all metadata defined by your plugins as well as Adobe, and via ExifMeta's primary function, supports all metadata in your files, not just some.

Cons: Requires editing a lua text file for tagset configuration.

John - thanks for the advice. I am not particularly computer literate, but have looked at the two links. Jeffrey F's does work for me. I tried to instal it, but it does not come p in my Plug in manager. The Adobe plug in would not do what I want.

What and where is SDK, please?

Rob - thanks .I have looked at the link. It would appear not to do what I want. Basically I am after a cut down panel on the same lines as the one already provided in Lightroom.

It'll do exactly what you want. The "problem", in your case, is that it will do a lot more, so figuring out how to do just what you want may be a challenge. If you are not technically inclined nor computer literate, then I wouldn't recommend it...

But, if you feel lucky, you could export a test catalog, and install ExifMeta, then try updating a photo, and commiting at least one item found, and you will see two new tagsets:

RC Standard - a fully populated one that I use.

RC Custom - a skeletal one, designed to be extended by people like you who want one or more "presets" with relatively few items...

What you might try is taking my BigNote plugin, which is really really simple, and hacking that.

In fact all you'd have to do is edit the file MetadataPanel.lua and add lines for 'com.adobe.caption','com.adobe.title'. etc

Thanks again Rob. I found your BigNote plugin, but I would not know hww to "hack Lua". Also it would seem that this would NOT write the metadata to XMP, which is what I want. I just want to slim down Lightrooms's existing metadata panel.What would be ideal is the existin "Large Caption" from with Headline and Title added.

Rob, our last emails crossed. In my last I say that the data must be written to XMP. Does your plugin do this?

In this case "hacking the lua" is a question of opening that file in a text editor like Notepad. The Big Note metadata doesn't ever get written to xmp, but if you edit the panel and add caption, title etc, LR will save those fields normally.

Sorry about the name.

I will try Big Note and come back in due course.

Perhaps I misunderstood.

I thought you wanted to be able to customize which pre-existing fields are presented, and not to define new custom fields.

ExifMeta will allow you to do the former, but not the latter. For the latter, if you just want one field, and not to customize, the big-note will be perfect. If you want multiple fields or want to customize them, then try CustomMetadata.

Note: Most of the built-in fields are saved in xmp, however NO plugin metadata (custom metadata) is saved in xmp.

John,

I did not realize BigNote supported metadata-panel tagset configuration as well as the notes field - good to know: I recommend your plugins too sometimes...

So, I'm getting more confused instead of less.

I mean, if you really just want to eliminate clutter in metadata panel and display pre-existing (xmp-backed) fields, then JF's metadata plugin will do it, as will JB's big-note, and my exif-meta (I'm not sure about Matt Dawson's).

And, if you want custom (non-xmp-backed) metadata, then my custom-metadata will do it.

If you have trouble editing the lua text file(s) - (necessary if you use mine or JB's plugins) (you don't need to be a programmer, just need to be able to follow-by-example, and pay attention to punctuation..., but you can simply define exactly what fields you want, and the name for the tagset you'd like, one of us may be able to supply you with the exact lua text to do it...

Too much? Not enough??

I appreciate the trouble you are taking over this request. I do not want to define new fields. The existing Metadata panel offers many fields. I wish to have the option of a metadata panel that displays only Title, Headliine and Caption. The Large Caption option with the other 2 fields added would be ideal. I am interested only in metadata being written to XMP. I do not use the Lighroom catalog facilities, because I have another DAM app.

Cheers

Ok, why not simply use the Metadata Field Lists folder?

Save the following into a text file with a name like "John's file info.lrtemplate" in this folder: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Metadata Field Lists - similar place on Mac

return {
version   = 1, -- format this file is in (format version #1)
title     = "John's File Info",
id        = "www.beardsworth.co.uk.2",
type      = "MetadataFieldList",

items = {
    "com.adobe.filename",
    { formatter = "com.adobe.originalFilename.ifDiffers",label="Orig" },
    "com.adobe.folder",
    "com.adobe.copyname",
    "com.adobe.filesize",
    "com.adobe.separator",
    { formatter = "com.adobe.label", label = "Metadata status" },
    { formatter = "com.adobe.metadataStatus",label="Status" },
    { formatter = "com.adobe.metadataDate",label="Saved" },
    "com.adobe.sidecars",
    "com.adobe.separator",
    "com.adobe.title",

"com.adobe.headline",
{ formatter = 'com.adobe.caption', heightInLines=10 },
}
}

Peter,

Thanks for clarifying.

So, you can use JF's metadata-viewer preset-editor plugin, JB's big-note plugin, or my exif-meta plugin to do that (not sure about Matt Dawson's).

I would recommend JF's metadata-viewer preset-editor, since it was designed specifically to do what you want, and only to do what you want, and you dont have to edit any lua text files to configure it, try: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-presets

On the other hand, if you replace the contents of JB's (BigNote) MetadataPanel.lua with this:

--------------------------------------------------

return{

title = LOC "$$$/PluginNameShort=Big note",

id = 'bignoteTagset',

items = {

{ formatter = 'com.adobe.title', height_in_lines=1, topLabel=false },

{ formatter = 'com.adobe.headline', height_in_lines=2, topLabel=false },

{ formatter = 'com.adobe.caption', height_in_lines=3, topLabel=false },

},

}

--------------------------------------------------

and optionally replace the contents of MetadataDefinition.lua with:

--------------------------------------------------

return { metadataFieldsForPhotos = {} }

--------------------------------------------------

(if you dont want any custom metadata fields added to your catalog)

then it'll do exactly what you want (I couldn't get the translated-strings to work, so the "tagset" will be called "Big note", even though its not anymore...

Or, you could use ExifMeta and replace the contents of com.robcole.lightroom.metadata.ExifMeta.Config.lua with this:

(its just the same as factory default, except for the part under

-- T A G S E T B A S E L I N E T W O

(which you can do a text search for or scroll to see/edit)

and it'll do what you want. Tagset will be named 'My Limited', but you can change it.

Many thanks guys. I will play around with your suggestions. At present it is all rather mystifying, but will hopefully become clearer.

Without question, if all this lua stuff makes you feel queazy, then try JF's plugin - he worked very hard to make it accessible to even the most non-technical lr-users.

You just give a preset-name, delete the fields you dont want displayed, then save...

Cheers,

Rob

I honestly couldn't have made it much easier for you in the above post about Metadata Field Presets!

John,

This is a hot tip. I had no idea that users could configure their own tagsets this way, albeit with lua.

Is this method documented anywhere?

Note: On windows you will have to create the 'Metadata Field Lists' folder your self - its not there initially.

As far as I am aware, Rob, it isn't documented and I can only guess at where I learnt it. It predates the introduction of plug-in architecture.

Conversely, if you are willing to make a folder & file with some lua in it, as John suggested, this is a very appealing solution. It actually offers more flexibility than JF's plugin (since you can control the number of lines and whether the label is on top or to the side...), albeit without the slick UI...

I tried this method (Metadata Field Lists / .lrtemplate file(s)) and it worked straight out of the gate.

If you need a bit of help perfecting it, do tell...

Right - I have gone for JF's plugin and got what I was after. Many thanks both. I wanted to give you both 'correct' gradings, but find I can only do one!
