Greetings All,
I am writing a program that allows the user to add a caption for a
jpg image. Right, now, that caption is being written into a text
file that sits alongside the image file. My beta testers are not
happy with this solution. So, I would like to be able to include a
short caption as metdata in the jpg file. From the archives, it
appears that using ExifTool by Phil Harvey is the way to go. I have
read dozens of archived e-mails on this topic that are W-A-Y over my
head.
1. How does one attach a copy of ExifTool as an application bundle in
Rev?
2. Can someone provide a sample scripts that would show me how to use
ExifTool to ...
A. Import the jpg file
B. Add the metadata
C. Export the altered jpg file
3. On a related topic (at least I think it is related), how does one
attach a font to a stack so it becomes a part of the standalone app
so that my users don't have to install a copy onto their machines?
Thanks in advance for your help.
