New Tag with ACDSee

[Malus]

I just want to report that ACDSystems introduced a new proprietary tag called 'collections' with the new ACDSee Pro/Ultimate 9. It has the same format as the tag 'categories', but imho the implementation into the GUI could be enhanced.

Here's a sample XMP-Section of all ACDSee tags :

<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="XMP Core 5.1.2">
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">

Hi Malus,

Great, thanks!  This will be supported in ExifTool 10.06

I've just noticed that the list of proprietary tags in ACDSee is even  longer. The xmp above only covers ACDSee tags that are displayed in a tab called 'ACDSee Metadata' in the program. However the 'IPTC' tab also shows tags, that are saved in the 'acdsee' name space, while many other tags in this tab are saved in the 'photoshop' name space.

Here's a more complete xmp excerpt created with ACDSee Ultimate 9:

[Edit]
These additional tags seem to be identical to IPTC tags found here. I've got no idea why they are saved in the 'acdsee' name space.

Also starting with ACDSee Pro/Ultimate 9 snapshots for development setting have been introduced.

[Phil Harvey]

Thanks.  I'll add support for these.

Malus can you maybe forward the file to me? So, I can add support for that tags into my app, too.

Sent u a pm.

[Malus]

Thanks.  I'll add support for these.

Thanks a lot Phil!

However, because snapshots can be very long (>20kb per snapshot) I suggest to add a 'Binary => 1' to the definition of snapshots and avoid ugly output :-)

[Phil Harvey]

Thanks.  I'll do that.
