Display the Title field in List view - Finder
Hi
I am an architect and in common with every office I have ever visited my drawings have their filename (or Name) as the Drawing Number. I use the PDF's 'Title' extension (completed in Adobe Acrobat) to give the file a descriptive drawing name (eg Ground Floor Plan) and this can be made to work OK in File Explorer on Windows.
I now work in an office with all Macs and although the Title field can be viewed in the Finder -either in the Preview window or 'Get Info' when clicking on individual files, it is not possible to add a 'Title' column to List view and navigate through a list of all the Titles in a folder. To be able to do so would be a boon to quickly accessing a drawing from the project set. Does anyone know is this functionality can be added to the finder? I have tried all options, preferences etc. There are add-ons expanding on this functionality in Windows eg PDF Property Extension. Is there anything available on the Mac? Adobe won't help as it is a Finder issue.
Also I had a look at how the Books app handles PDFs. Whereas the finder uses 'Name', Books replicates the 'Name' field as 'Title'. Very confused!
