Saving metadata other Varibles

[Mcquiff]

This is a useful script that some one made for me here in this website.

The idea is you disable the shortcut to the save as to the "save as script"

Then on save it adds the editor of the image.


Code: Select allfunction saveAS() {
if(!documents.length) return;
activeDocument.info.captionWriter = "Editted_by_You";
if(activeDocument.layers.length > 1){
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc3.putBoolean( stringIDToTypeID('maximizeCompatibility'), true );
desc2.putObject( charIDToTypeID('As  '), charIDToTypeID('Pht3'), desc3 );
try{executeAction( charIDToTypeID('save'), desc2, DialogModes.ALL );}catch(e){}
}else{
try{executeAction( charIDToTypeID('save'), undefined, DialogModes.ALL );}catch(e){}
}
};

saveAS();

Now I was wondering if anyone knows how to access the other meta IPTC data so other fields can be completed?

activeDocument.info.captionWriter ? Maybe title etc.

Here are the references:

activeDocument.info.title
activeDocument.info.author
activeDocument.info.authorPosition
activeDocument.info.caption
activeDocument.info.captionWriter
activeDocument.info.jobName
activeDocument.info.copyrighted
activeDocument.info.copyrightNotice
activeDocument.info.ownerUrl
activeDocument.info.keywords
activeDocument.info.category
activeDocument.info.supplementalCategories
activeDocument.info.creationDate
activeDocument.info.city
activeDocument.info.provinceState
activeDocument.info.country
activeDocument.info.credit
activeDocument.info.source

activeDocument.info.instructions
activeDocument.info.transmissionReference
activeDocument.info.urgency
activeDocument.info.exif
activeDocument.info.typename
activeDocument.info.parent
activeDocument.info.__proto__

Inside "activeDocument.info.exif" we have also many other properties and they come in an array of 3 values:
I've collected this on a JPEG image in the example below, but the file exif info differs from file to file.
For example, activeDocument.info.exif[1] in a jpeg give me Image Width but it give a different property in a DNG.
So, If I need some specific property in the array activeDocument.info.exif[?] of a file, I should run a search on that array first.

This was the exif of a JPEG image tested:

activeDocument.info.exif[0] gives an array[a,b,c]:
