FWIW,
The Actions in PS can handle writing to the Caption part etc. of multiple files in PS. It can also handle batch append and loading of .xmp files which can be saved/read/created in a text program.
Also, A great program for that many photos is Portfolio which I used for a CD project with a REV front end that had over 10,000 photos.

Does anyone know of a way to get Revolution to read and write to Adobe Photoshop's per image metadata?
real world scenario: our photographer in Nepal (world famous, doesn't just work for us) Thomas Kelly... we just sent him on assignment to Sri Lanka. He's back now and has a kaJillion digital images that he wants to caption inside PhotoShop. Opening the file info for each one of these in Photoshop is a "killer" process. I tried to have our managing editor consider having the metadata as a separate fooPhoto.psd /fooPhoto.txt document pair, for which I have many Rev apps that can easily preview thumbnailis and allow for data entry very quickly. And though one can see lot's of advantages of having this data as a separate file... the concept of the caption being part of the photo file itself seems to be "ingrained" as the only way to go...
