XMP and/or IPTC: set some required metadata fields...

[Gerald_Ire]

Hello to all XNViewers, I'd like to setup some XMP and/or IPTC metadata fields in that way that they are required before saving on server or sending via ftp...

Is there an option for that?

[Gerald_Ire]

Let me explain what I'm looking for:

Metadata of an image contains in my view three parts:

• image content

• image rights

• image administration for a database

So some of metadata fields are:

• obligatory or desired

• not relevant or not given

Q#1: If someone has to write metadata, how can I lead them to the obligatory and desired metadata field?

Q#2 Is there a chance to extend the code in iptc.ini or xmp.ini for such a function?

"field is ok"-code = field isnt empty = OK
"field is requiered"-code = field is empty = Warning/Error

My personal wish list for iptc/xmp:

image content:
iptc / xmp
092 Sublocation
090 City
095 State/Province
101 Country
020 Supl.Category
025 Keywords
105 Headline
120 Caption-Abstract

image rights:
iptc / xmp
040 Specl.Instructions
080 By-line
110 Credit
115 Source
116 Copyright Notice
