This will determine whether the field should be written back to the files on download.

ResourceSpace can have certain metadata fields set as read-only.

You simply create an ResourceSpace field, for example 'URL' and in the Exiftool_field you enter 'WebStatement', a field which can be found in ExifTool's list of writeable fields and is appropriate for data of that type. One such use may be to embed a weblink in the metadata of your images. Of course you can also create your own custom fields and mappings. It may take some experimentation to get the combination that best suits your workflow. For example if Photoshop gets the caption from Caption-Abstract and another program you use gets it from ImageDescription, you need to have your ResourceSpace caption in both. The reason for using multiple fields is that certain programs look for information in a specific place.

If you need 'Notes' to be written to PDF files, you will have to find a PDF-writable field in addition to JobID. Remember that some fields may not be available for a particular filetype, for example JobID will not write to a PDF file. If you have files with metadata in them and want ResourceSpace to extract that information, you can use the metadata report and this output to construct the appropriate mappings Run the following command to see a report of all the existing metadata in an image, including the namespace. Any of those names could be used in the exiftool_field in RS to develop your ideal read/write mapping. Run the following command on the command line for a (long) list of writable fields. The following link provides useful documentation of the command-line capabilities It can also read data from other filetypes that are not write-supported. Exiftool fully supports read/writing of several filetypes including JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF, EPS, PDF. Please refer to the ExifTool documentation for further information on tag names. IPTC:Country-PrimaryLocationName,XMP:Country IPTC:Caption-Abstract,IPTC:ImageDescription,XMP:Description Your default installation will probably have these and more already set up. 'XMP:Keywords' or 'IPTC:ImageDescription'

To specify a namespace for the tag simply prefix the tag name with the namespace in capitals and a colon e.g. XMP and IPTC both include a 'Keywords' tag). This is useful when there are overlapping tag names with different values (e.g. You can specify the namespace that you want to extract the tag from. In order to map an IPTC/Exif/XMP tag name to a ResourceSpace field, you can enter the ExifTool-supported tag name(s) in the 'Exiftool field' box in the metadata field settings for that field. You must have ExifTool (a command-line interface to a PERL library) installed and enabled (the path must be specified) in config.php or auto-detected during the setup routine. Many different profiles are supported in addition to Exif, including XMP, IPTC, GPS, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3. This is extremely flexible and any metadata present in a file can be mapped to ResourceSpace fields. ResourceSpace makes use of the open source ExifTool utility to read and write metadata. Mapping metadata when using the ExifTool utility This synchronisation can be two way, so that imported metadata can be automatically extracted into a configured field, but also that metadata added to the resource after import is written back to the file at download. ResourceSpace is able to map between embedded metadata stored in your original files and the metadata fields in ResourceSpace itself.
