    How append to group metadata?

    Sverk Community Member

      Hi,

      I'm using Photoshop CS6 with Bridge.

      Working a lot with documentary images, the Description metadata field is crucial for saving valuable info pertaining to the images, often quite a lot of text.  Bridge is useful -- but not as useful as I'd need.

      Very often I want to append to the Description for a group of images, and that works nice -- but ONLY if that field is empty in all the fields.

       

      And that is typically not the case.  I keep coming back with more info to add, but often not to the same selection of images.  Thus if I try selecting them I get "(Multiple values)" in the field.

      And if I type something in it REPLACES all the various existing content in the image files -- very bad loss of important data results.

       

      Thus, what I'd need is a way to APPEND text to the Description field contents for a selection of images.

      Is there some way in Bridge that I have overlooked?

      Or is there any plugin or auxiliary program that could be used for this?

       

      Help please!
