Hi All,

I am trying to import the MetaData from Photoshop image files (found at File>File Info) into a FM Database. And am having trouble with the ScriptMaker script.

 

Here is what I have done so far. I am using the LOOP Script from a Troi plug-in , then put the MetaData sub-scripts (also from Troi) inside it.

 

"# “This script gets the list of files into folderList ...”

# “... and then loops to import them one by one.”

Go to Layout [ Multi Image Import ]

Perform Script [ “ Check FILE plug-in” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

# “Get the list of files into folderList ...”

Set Field [ gFolderList, External("TrFile-ListFolder", "files|" & gFolderSpec) ]

Go to Record/Request/Page

[ First ]

Loop

Exit Loop If [ PatternCount(gFolderList , "¶" ) = 0 ]

New Record/Request

Perform Script [ “ Find next file in FolderList” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

# “Importing by reference doesn't need a file, as it ...”

# “...works with the clipboard. So test if you want to store a ref:” If [ gStore a Reference "Yes" ]

# “We need to copy the file to the place where FileMaker expects it.”

Perform Script [ “ Copy Picture file to impoUniq file” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

End If

# “Now do the actual importing:”

Perform Script [ “ Import 1 Picture MAIN” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

# “Randall's change to add IPTC MetaData to the import loop”

Perform Script [ “ Get IPTC MetaData and Parse” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

Perform Script [ “ Parse IPTC Meta-data” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

Perform Script [ “ Parse IPTC 25: Keywords” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

Perform Script [ “ Parse IPTC 20: Supplemental Categories” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

Perform Script [ “ Get Image URL” ] [ Sub-scripts ]

# End of Randall's additions

Pause/Resume Script [ “0:00:00” ]

End Loop

Exit Record/Request "

 

I am getting error code $$-37. What does that mean? And, what do I need to change to get this to work?

Thanks for your interest.
