p.1 #1 · Lightroom 2: tagging pix from text file


I haven't been able to figure out how to do something in LR that is possible in Breeze Browser: importing a list of file names from a text file, and then having the program automatically tag those files.

For example: say I have 1000 images, and receive a list of 200 images that a client wants to order. With BB, if that list arrives in a format that can be saved as a text file, or I create a list myself in a word processor or spreadsheet, I can import that list - and BB will instantly assign those images a flag. Then, to select only those 200 shots, I just have to select the flagged images. Quick and painless.

Is there a way to do this in LR? I've tried searching, but keep bogging down in all the links to keywording, etc.

Thanks.

Take a look at the LR/Transporter plug-in by Timothy Armes: http://timothyarmes.com/lrtransporter.php

"LR/Tranporter provides a powerful system for importing data from a CSV file by matching photos that against a particular field in each record"
