Title: Copying IPTC Data
Post by: Terry-M on June 19, 2009, 12:19:05 PM
Mike,
I don't use IPTC data very often so need a bit of advice.
When I select a number of thumbnails and add IPTC data to the first, click Next, I'm asked if I want to copy the data to the "Current" or "All" images; that's fine.

When I have entered some IPTC data on some images and now want to copy it to other images at a later stage, so I select all the thumbs including the one with IPTC data,  (the one with data has to first in the list) but clicking next does not invoke the copy dialogue unless an edit is made.
Is there another way of going about this copying and what if the image with IPTC data is not first in the list of those selected?
Terry.

You don't really have to change anything: a "touch" will do it.  Just click in the title field and press the spacebar and then backspace.  That'll mark it to be saved.  As far as order, it'll always show the first thumbnail selected.

Mike,
Thanks, I thought it would be something simple.
