Custom Info Panel as Bridge MetaData Panel

Oct 19, 2012 7:19 AM

Tags: #bridge #cs6 #file_info_panels

Hello,

 

I have built a Custom XMP InfoPanel that shows up in CS6 Bridge just fine! But for ease of data entry we want it to show up in the Bridge MetaData panel. How is this done with the latest best practices?

 

I have looked everywhere found a number of ways, but ALL are out dated! The XMP FileInfo SDK doesnt cover this.

Thank you

    Hi Dean,

     

    please read the chapter "3 The Generic Panel" on p. 38 in the XMP FileInfo SDK Programmer's guide, which comes with the XMP FileInfo SDK.

     

     

    Regards, Stefan

    Hi,

    Yes, its very easy once you figure it out...

     

    Create your xml file: IE

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

    <xmp_definitions>

      <xmp_schema prefix='mad' namespace='http://ns.deank.com/johnmadison/1.0/' label='Label=JohnMadison'>

        <xmp_property name='status' category='external' label='status=Status' type='text'/>

              <xmp_property name='notes' category='external' label='notes=Notes' type='text'/>

      </xmp_schema>

    </xmp_definitions>

     

    Save it at the path "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0/custom/JohnMadison.xml"

     

    Launch Bridge you will see it in your METADATA panel.

    Thanks Dean ,  it works!

     

    I tested in Windows 7, so the path to save the file actually is:

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom
