Hi, David — I added the below to the other post, but it didn’t “unresolve” it, so I’m putting it here. Hope I’m not messing things up!

Hi, David!
I have a couple more questions:
(1) Now that I’m using the correct “template” code (thanks!!) I can’t figure out how to get the parentheses to print. For the file size, I want it enclosed to set it apart: (163.757 KB). I’ve tried escaping a second set of parens, but that’s about it.
(2) I’m getting the expected “404” error when trying to use the tags as links. They show up fine as tags, the links just don’t work. I found your previous post links about the WP limitations on Media stuff, and will be grinding through that soon enough.
These I don’t know if you can help me with, but maybe you’ve come across them before:
I’m using these entries for mapping:
Category: template:([+pdf:Categories,array+]|[+exif:Keywords,array+])
Tags: template:([+pdf:Keywords,array+]|[+exif:Artist,array+])
and Priority: EXIF, Existing Text: Replace
(2) In an attempt to make the process completely automated, I’m trying to process the keywords as tags on import. I *did* find the information to do this for both JPGES and PDFs (yay!).
For the images, by default the tags are separated with semicolons (;). When I leave it this way, it doesn’t separate the array, the tag is imported as “Postcard;Private” literally. If I separate them with commas, they aren’t imported at all. Perhaps a limitation of using Windows Explorer to edit the metadata?
(3) Since I didn’t have enough fields in the standard PDF metadata, I got tricky and created a custom field in the PDF: Categories. Unfortunately, not only doesn’t this get exported, it prevents the “Keywords” from being exported as well — pretty much messing up everything I’ve accomplished so far. 🙂
Since it’s still early, and I’m working from just a few PDFs and JPEGs to edit the metadata and testing it, it’s a small matter to switch gears at this point.
Perhaps just using tags or just using categories is the way to go? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
