Apple Photos - Editing Metadata
I have photography as hobby for many years now, in this way thousands of photos store in many external HDD. I'll give an idea about my workflow for a better understanding of what I am seeking.
So, take a picture, these days each file has originally about 60Mb, and rename each photo with a unique name identifier, based on "date + location + event + type + sequential number" to avoid name duplicity and to make it easy to figure out what the photo is about without opening the file.
Then I process each original file using a Raw editor, and I save the original raw photo in a Storage place "A", a JPG copy in excellent quality ( medium size, about 12Mb) for printing in a Storage "B" and finally a second JPG copy in standard quality (size away smaller, about 1,750MB) for social media and to show off to friends and family, in a Storage "C"which is is my MacBook Pro.
The issue here is not new, in fact is pretty old, I saw so many posts in here answered mainly by a user called léonie and all over the web, but so far I could see a effective solution. Like many others, I just want to be able to batch edit my photos metadata, more specifically the field "Title" outside of Apple Photos app, because every time when I give a maintenance clean up to my mac my photos loose the attribution given to "Title" in Metadata.
I do have a Script that works very well in Photo to copy the "filename" into the field "Title" within the metadata, but again it only works there. Unfortunately, if I open Finder and try to send/share the photo file with someone else, for example my son, it won't carry on the "Title" information with it. It would be amazing if I could have a Script like that one from Photos app running into Finder and permanently writing down the filename into "Title"field.
I got a few app to edit metadata (some free some paid) none of them were able to ready/locate the "Title" field edited in Apple Photos app. I gave a gibberish name on purpose to make easier to locate the field "Title", but nothing, I also made a few screenshot to illustrate a little better. I just don't figure out why Apple does not let the user to sort photos by filename instead of "Title".
So, finally, does anyone know a way to permanently batch copy the filename (better if can be copied with extension as well) into "Title" field within metadata of a photo without using Apple Photos app, or perhaps does any one know an app capable of doing that?
Tks a million in advance.
