Hi, 

I've created an Applescript App that when run will open Capture and Create a new session based on todays date.

 

I'm hoping to add this next piece of functionality but I'm having no joy with getting it anywhere near working.

Next I'd like Capture to Present a Dialog box asking for the photographers name and then apply the response as a keyword or copyright info to every subsequent captured image for that session.

(I need it to populate the copyright info metadata or a keyword  for it to work with the piece of software in the process.)

Would anyone have the first clue about how to add the above functionality?

  Yeah but its a significant amount of scaffolding in Pro (and was a reason for the Enterprise feature "Next Capture Meta Data").

  Pro requires you store the strings somewhere (text or plist?), then have a second "Capture Done" script enable and read from the data stored, then apply to every Capture forward. 

  Enterprise allows you to map any metadata to fields ready for the next shot and is about 3 lines of code for anyone trying to automate data entry.

  Gotcha! Makes sense.

  Thanks for the info.

  Something else to look into!
