Maarten,
thanks for your quick reply!
I mentioned grep because I'd like to search for the keywords that are
recognizable due to the rfd:li - tags in the XMP-file AND also because
this is something I *suppose* it's easy to do with grep in BBEdit (even
if it's still out of my reach :-)… as well as the rest of my
wish-script :-/).
Thanks again!
Regards,
Vlad

Hi,
If you need to work with xml I recommend to use a real xml parser. I
prefer to use python with lxml. It will allow you to exploit the
hierarchy of the xml file in ways that grep will not allow you to do.
Best,
Maarten

I was inexact regarding file-names and -number:
the XMP-file and the photo-file have the same name AND
there is most of the time more than one photo-file, because I shoot
in RAW (that’s CR2 for me, shooting Canon) and all of the edited
versions are JPG, once in a while TIFF.
So for a given photo „PhotoName“ I have always at least two files
PhotoName.CR2 (the RAW-file)
PhotoName.XMP (the metadata-file, I was hard-working enough to take
care of the metadata ;-)
and for the most of the photos there are even some other edited
versions as
PhotoName.JPG
PhotoName-1.JPG
PhotoName-bw.JPG
PhotoName.TIFF
The edited versions all begin with A but can have a) some data added
to the end of the file-name (as digits for various versions or -bw
for black & white) and b) some other file-extensions (JPG and once in
while TIFF).
That make my dream-script a little more complicated:
take this photo-folder;
read from the first XMP-file the IPTC-keywords;
copy all of this IPTC-keywords as Finder-tags to all of the files
with the suffixes CR2, JPG or TIFF of which the file-name begins with
the same name as the XMP-file;
loop within the photo-folder until there is no XMP-file anymore.
I hope that now is more clearer.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Vlad
