DC 5.1.0 6 - Configuration Upload metadata tags

Upload metadata tags are metadata fields that is populated with information about the physical file or information embedded in the physical file. This is for instance:

  • Image information (width, height, etc.)
  • IPTC data
  • Exif data

Each metafield definition has a field called Upload-tag-Name on the metafield label tab. This field should be populated with the key of the value to be inserted. These key-value pairs are found using this tool. The embedded tool takes as input the physical file used as a reference and prints out a list of key-value pairs.

The embedded executeable is used from a command prompt like this:

Cmd
MetadataExtract.exe MyReferenceAsset.jpg

The output is as mentioned a list of key-value pairs that could look like this:

output
JPEG:Compression Type = Baseline
JPEG:Data Precision = 8 bits
JPEG:Image Height = 4888 pixels
JPEG:Image Width = 7199 pixels
JPEG:Number of Components = 3
JPEG:Component 1 = Y component: Quantization table 0, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert
JPEG:Component 2 = Cb component: Quantization table 1, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert
JPEG:Component 3 = Cr component: Quantization table 1, Sampling factors 1 horiz/1 vert
Exif IFD0:Image Description = The entrance to Michael Jordan Steak House on the Magnificient Mile in Chicago. Photo by: www.caughtinpixels.com
Exif IFD0:Make = NIKON CORPORATION
Exif IFD0:Model = NIKON D800
Exif IFD0:X Resolution = 240 dots per inch
Exif IFD0:Y Resolution = 240 dots per inch
Exif IFD0:Resolution Unit = Inch
Exif IFD0:Software = Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.0 (Windows)
Exif IFD0:Date/Time = 2014:03:28 09:41:12

Where the left hand side is the key and the right hand side is the value.

The key is then populated in the Upload-tag-Name on the metafield label tab.

After doing this, the Internet Information Service (IIS) has to be restarted, as these definitions are cached.
