Hello everybody,

Is there a smart (applescript) way to assign a keyword to a file without opening it in Photoshop?
This is how I would do it in Photoshop (version 11): File -> File info. And then the "Keyword" textarea under the first tab "Description".


Background info: I am a user of Extensis Portfolio (version 9.0). I'm a fan of Portfolio's powerful "Watched Folder" feature to collect images and automatically adding them to a catalog and (last but not least) extracting keywords from the added files.

Thanks for any help.

Exiftool - a command line tool

It can be scripted from AppleScript via "do shell script" and has the most consistent, broad support for various types of metadata and file formats. I'm also an Extensis Portfolio user - if you need help you can also catch me on their forums.

-Roger
