This question has been asked previously in Bridge forums but not fully answered for CC and raw files.
I'd like to run a script from Bridge CC that will append the filename (minus extension) into the Description field of the IPTC metadata. It needs to work with multiple camera raw files (e.g. .ARW, .CR2). Previous suggestions worked with TIFs and DNGs but not proprietary camera raw formats.
Since characters '/' and ':' aren't permitted or recommended, it would be useful if these could be added by converting '*' and '=' from the filename.
For example,
Filename 1234.ARW should append as 1234
Filename 12*34.ARW should append as 12/34
Filename 12=34.ARW should append as 12:34
The description field may already contain some text, hence the need to append to this rather than replace.
If anybody could help with this, I'd be very grateful.
