Adobe® Photoshop® CS2
Custom File Info Panels
The customizable File Info dialog box in Photoshop CS2 and ImageReady CS2 allows you to define, create, and manage custom metadata properties in the XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) format. The same dialog box is supported in Adobe Illustrator CS2, Adobe InDesign CS2, Adobe GoLive CS2, and Adobe Acrobat 7.0, making it easy to view and edit custom metadata across applications.
You can enable these Adobe applications to see and edit custom metadata by creating a Custom Panel Description file, as described in the "XMP Custom Panels.pdf" document, and placing it in one of the following locations:
Mac OS X: {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
or:
{Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
Windows: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
or:
\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
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.
Please see the XMP Custom Panels.pdf file for complete information on using these files. For more information on XMP, please visit http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp.
