XMP Custom File Info Panels
Introduction
The custom File Info panel for XMP metadata allows you to define, create, and manage
custom metadata properties using standard Adobe applications. You can do this by
creating a Custom Panel Description file, as described in this document, and placing it in a
common location referenced by Adobe applications that support this feature. You can also
supply localization dictionary files to localize the contents of your Custom Panel
Description files.
The resulting custom dialog panel is seen by users when they select the
File Info
menu
option.
The File Info panel allows you to support paths to metadata properties which are not
defined in default or other standard XMP schemas, but are needed for your application,
company, or industry. By using XMP for that metadata, you take advantage of the potential
of XMP for interchange and participation in asset management systems, while providing
the ability to use standard Adobe applications to manage it.
Custom Panel Files
There are two types of files used in creating a File Info custom panel:
●
Panel description files
These files directly describe and create the custom panels. See
“Custom Panel
Description File Format” on page 5
for a complete description.
Localization dictionary files
These optional files localize the panel description file contents to other languages at run
time. See
“Localization Dictionary Files” on page 26
for a complete description.
●
Adobe applications that support this feature look for these files in the prescribed locations,
and add your custom panel or panels to their
File Info
dialogs in the language of the dialog.
Custom Panel Description File Format
The panel description file is a 7-bit ASCII file in a simple form of XML, containing the user-
interface definitions for a panel. See
Sample Custom Panels
for example of the format. One
description file describes exactly one custom file panel; however, you can have as many
custom panel files as you wish.
The following file creation tools are recommended:
●
On Mac OS 9 use SimpleText or a free third-party text editor such as MPW Shell.
