But it's one .xmp sidecar file per image, isn't it? What I want (and what the Pentax browser does) is to have all the metadata from an entire directory full of images exported into a single file. I guess using Pentax Photo Browser for this purpose isn't particularly onerous, but I do most of my processing in Lightroom and it would be nice if I didn't have to use a separate app. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
