Hi all, is there a way of duplicating a "File Info" XMP category in Photoshop and tweaking it for a different schema (See attached rough)

I'm trying to understand the question. I don't have Photoshop, but when I check Adobe Bridge, this Xinet panel doesn't appear. Is this something that shows up for your version of Photoshop? Or are you asking how to add the panel to Photoshop?

There's nothing exiftool can do to make Photoshop display metadata that it doesn't already display. You'd have to ask in a website that deals with Photoshop.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Thanks for the reply. Yes I was asking how to add a panel. I thought I would post it a as general question in case anyone had an idea. I will post else where. Thanks again

I have serious doubts that it is possible, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

BTW, do you happen to have an image with Xinet metadata that you can share? There's a config file for writing such data, but it's very old, and I think it was incomplete even then.

Here is a sample file with some Xinet fields written.
