Hi,

How can i make albums, view or organize photos from their keywords.

1. Fill in the keywords in the field Album or Comment (separated by comma)
2. Folder "Albums" - right click - Add Folder - Title: Keywords - Ok
3. Drag and drop header of column "Album" or "Comment" to folder "Keywords"
4. Folder "Keywords" - Grouping - mpAlbum - right click - Edit - Expression grouping -

Code: Select all

ReplaceStr(mpAlbum, ',', #13#10)

Ok

Hi Eugene.

My question is how can i do that in a automatic way.
My photos already have keywords, i use Adobe Bridge to do that.
When WMS read files properties like file size or file date, why it didn't read keywords too.

Thanks.

Why Adobe Bridge not read Windows Explorer Keywords ?

Hi,

This is not entirely correct.
I test for jpg file type and Adobe Bridge read windows keywords and windows also read Adobe Bridge keywords.
I know this extended properties differ from file type to file type and are not well documented how to extract them.
I found same information at http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=446195.
Maybe in the next windows file system (WinFS).

Hi,

So, you can use system ole-objects for reading keywords and event "After reading of properties of a media resources" (Settings - Processing and Settings - Additional - Events).

P.S.
Language: PascalScript

Code: Select all

var
  FolderItem, Keywords, Shell: Variant;
  i: Integer;  
  sFilePath, sAlbum: string;
begin
  if (CurrentMediaItem <> nil) and (CurrentMediaItem.MediaType = mtImage) then begin
    sFilePath := CurrentMediaItem.Properties[mpiFilePath];    
    Shell := CreateOleObject('Shell.Application');
    FolderItem := Shell.NameSpace(ExtractFileDir(sFilePath)).ParseName(ExtractFileName(sFilePath));    
    Keywords := FolderItem.ExtendedProperty('{F29F85E0-4FF9-1068-AB91-08002B27B3D9} 5');    
    if Length(Keywords) > 0 then begin    
      sAlbum := Keywords[0];
      for i := 1 to Length(Keywords) - 1 do      
        sAlbum := sAlbum + ',' + Keywords[i];
      CurrentMediaItem.Properties[mpiAlbum] := sAlbum           
    end
  end   
end.
