I'm using GC9 to add IPTC Captions and Keywords to my jpegs. A very nice facility. Is there any way of outputting a 3-column table listing Filename, Caption, Keywords? Brian

Forgive me if these are silly questions. I would like to change an IPTC keyword in about 100 jpegs. Can this be done globally? Also, when searching, is it possible to search in such a way that, for example, "patricia" doesn't find "pat" and vice versa? I've tried using quotes it doesn't work. Brian >> > >

Dear Brian,do you only want to replace one of the entered keywords?Searching is done with spotlight. pat will find patricia. But patricia will only find patricia.Thorsten Forgive me if these are silly questions.  I would like to change an IPTC keyword in about 100 jpegs.

I'be be happy to replace one keyword at a time in a group of files. I've only got several keywords to change. I've been using GC9 to edit IPTC keywords one file at a time. A bit tedious but my fault. I hadn't thought of Spotlight. > On 19 Nov 2015, at 10:08, Thorsten Lemke lemke@lemkesoft.de [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > Dear Brian, > > > do you only want to replace one of the entered keywords? > > Searching is done with spotlight. pat will find patricia.

That is quite amazing, Thorsten. I feel quite emotional after watching all those files changing, having done a few, laboriously and tediously, by hand. Is there anything that GC9 can't do? Many thanks.

It is indeed a great piece of kit.  In the rather painful transition from Aperture to Photos, Graphic Converter remains a constant, a tool to rectify all the problems.Chris On 19 Nov 15, at 16:46, Brian Jones brian.jones@catfish.plus.com [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote:That is quite amazing, Thorsten.
