Bridge metadata export

Post by johnbeardy »

Here's a script for Bridge that adds a menu item that exports metadata to a CSV file. It can be used as a starting point for exporting other fields.

My need was to export metadata on DNG files, in particular the fields Ratings and Lens. Ratings is Bridge-specific, while Lens is data that the DNG converter has extracted from Nikon raw files' makernote tag. Using the filename, I can import that data into my cataloguing program, Portfolio.

It exports data from all selected thumbnails. If you select folders, it will export the metadata from the files in them.

Place the file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\StartupScripts. It depends on the files AdobeLibrary1.jsx which can be downloaded from Studio Exchange (they should be in the same folder). Note it exports the csv file to the D drive - easy to change.

Any comments/refinements would be appreciated.
