We are looking into Digital Asset Management software. One of the things we would love to do is add keywords to our product images using a script. I’ve written a sample script that would add keywords based on each dropped image’s filename to give everyone a better idea of what I’m trying to accomplish.
Since this is MacScripter and people here use macs and scripts, I was wondering if anyone knows of Digital Asset Management Software that has scripting capabilities. It would be great if the DAM software has AppleScript capabilities, but, if it doesn’t, JavaScript or other scripting languages may also work. Thanks Much! Any guidance on this is greatly appreciated!
