Many thanks for the quick reply Rob (and for your excellent work on the plugins).
You're welcome - I appreciate it.I had a peek at the files you mentioned - a little intimidating but maybe not impossible.
I can help you with it.As I try to decide whether I have the hootspa to try (I def. don't have the technical hootspa to be confident
), a couple more quick questions:
If I do as you say, will the edits to "MyMetadataTagsets_ManuallyGenerated(EditAtWill).lua" affect all Metadata selection in the right-hand library panel (including the stock Lightroom options) or just the RC selections and "all plugin Metadata"?
You can do it so it only affects the sections you want.If I make a mess, what's my get out plan? Remove the plugin entirely and start again?
You can always put back the original module and just reload the plugin - no need to remove. Plugin authors spend 99.999% of the time with their up and coming plugins totally screwed up - you get used to it.
Can I corrupt anything irrecoverably by trying this?
I doubt it - you'll only be messing with tagsets which affect display of metadata in Library panel. Could you explain what this means: "and be careful when updating the plugin..."
Do you just mean that before installing a newer version of the plugin sometime in the future, I would have to save copies of info.lua and "MyMetadataTagsets_ManuallyGenerated(EditAtWill).lua" first and then re-insert?
Exactly. - not sure why I didn't just say that in the first place - thanks.i.e. this is not something I would have to worry about when just updating the data after adding new photos -- or is it?
No - just that if you retire items or add items you'll probably want to manually remove / add items to the metadata-tagsets module to accomodate.If you want, you can send me your metadata-tagsets module file and I'll get it started for you, or just take a whack and if you get in over your head, I can probably help get you straightened back out.
Thanks
You bet - cheers...
