Reading xmp bag structures with html 5

[christiant12309652]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement an extension to read and write custom metadata properties. We already have properties of the type "bag". I was trying to read the elements of it with the XmpSamplePanel, which I converted for CC 2015, but I'm only able to read normal text fields. I'm not sure if I need to edit the "js"-files of the sample project or if it's another problem. I have to say that I don't have much experience at Html5 and JavaScript. Someone else already did something like this?

What Adobe software are you using?

I use the CC 2015 version.

Of which software? You've posted this thread in the forum Lounge which is not specific to any of Adobe's software and isn't for support anyway. We don't know if you're dealing with Photoshop, Muse, Animate, etc.

Let us know what software your are using and a moderator can move this thread to the appropriate forum.

Oh, I thought I was posting it in the InDesign forum. I clicked on the InDesign icon at the forum. Sorry for it.

There are links to The Lounge from almost every software forum's main page. Dozens of people click it accidentally every day! It's no problem.

I'll get your thread moved.

Thanks for the information. Now I got it. I think the rest doesn't work cause of my bad javascript skills. I'm more into C++ and Java, but for the extensions I can't use them, or did I miss something?

edit:

Or do you have an example for reading XML properties and putting them into text fields or lists (arrays). Like I said, my javascript skills aren't really good. For me, a Java solution would be perfect, but I think it's not possible to integrate Java programs and the XMP Toolkit for Java only supports XMP-files.

If you are more confident in C++, you might want to introspect XMP through a C++ plugin and propagate a CSEvent that will be caught on the HTML panel though a listener (CSInterface.addEventListener ).

Up to you where it makes sense to put efforts but if you do achieve it with JS, you will save efforts in maintenance I guess.
