Title: IPTC Places tag -- the way it is combined
Post by: tonse on November 29, 2007, 04:26:24 pm

MC combines the IPTC tags CITY, STATE and COUNTRY in that order. Is it possible to change this. It would be more useful if I can combine it in reverse order: COUNTRY, STATE, CITY. That way it's easier to navigate through the pictures. Especially in Theaterview
IS there a way to change the order myself?

Thanks

Does anybody know the answer?

It's not configurable.

You could use the ListItem expression to switch the order, but it'll take a little elbow grease:

OK, I will try te elbow stuff. But... isn't this an option for the next version of JR MC to make PLACES the reversed order. It's more logical to order it from big to small. Like Genre-Artist-Album-Song. That way a song is much easier to find than Song-Album-.....
So a picture is more easy to find in the order: Country -- State -- City ....
Also slideshows have more meaning this way

We decided to make this change, so the next build will import IPTC as Country, State, City.
