I use a number of metadata fields not shown in the default metadata for image files (e.g., Job Identifier, Instructions, Source, and others). Is it possible to have those displayed in DOpus?
I save files as TIF whenever possible but a number of my files are too large and I have to save them as Photoshop PSB (large image format) files. The metadata viewer doesn't show anything other than date created, date modified, comment, rating, and tags. Is it possible for Opus to read more metadata from PSB files?
Tom,
ISTP includes some very specific metadata fields. I've never even seen software that displays ISTP fields.
IPTC has those fields. Can you use IPTC?
To view IPTC fields that DOpus does not support, I use the ExifTool Custom Columns Plugin and customize the script to add fields I need.
Metadata fields added with the Script/Plugin can then be added/viewed in columns.
BUT, I know nothing about PSB files and their metadata compatibility.
Have you tried Photo Mechanic?
If File Explorer has columns for them, you can add them to Opus via Preferences / File Display Columns / Shell Properties.
For other data that Opus doesn't display natively, using ExifTool to populate columns for the data is probably your best bet: ExifTool Custom Columns
Both will add columns you can add to the file display or include in info-tips and tiles. They won't affect the Metadata Panel, which only shows metadata Opus knows how to edit (plus a few read-only fields to provide context).
I'd be interested in knowing if using Shell Properties will work. I don't know that the metadata will be written to ISTP metadata fields.
Please tell me how it goes!
