1. Re: How to create and index of photos at the end of my book

cmgap Jul 2, 2017 5:05 AM (in response to ozpaulw)You will have to make the index manually.
> First make your index in a text document
Then:
> Select automatic numbering under the page tab.
> Select the page to be used for the index and click the “Change Page Layout” icon.
> Scroll down to text pages and choose the first one for free flowing text.
> Copy index from text document and paste nto the text cell.

WobertC Jul 3, 2017 5:33 PM (in response to ozpaulw)1 person found this helpfulJohn Beardsworth has written a script that will create a list of image filenames.
Filenames – Lightroom Solutions
Select the images in a (book) collection and run the script- it shows the filenames, comma separated, that can then be copy/paste into a word/text editor table or a spreadsheet. This can get a book index part the way saving much typing of filenames, just add the page numbers and sort the table as required.
It works great for filenames, and in the link above, John talks about modifying the script to list another metadata field (eg. Title) but I cannot give "qualified" advice on this, however I was able to edit the script and have it list Titles successfully.

ozpaulw Jul 4, 2017 4:51 AM (in response to WobertC)Thanks very much... I followed the instructions and changed "filename" to "title" in the script (getFormattedMetadata(‘title’) and indeed I was able to generate a text list of the titles.... very helpful indeed! Still would be nice if LR could make an index page, but... ta.
