Order of Custom Columns in Metadata Editor

BetterRed · 08-28-2012, 10:57 PM

Is there a way to specify the order that custom columns are presented in the Metadata Editor - I searched hi & lo for it

Assuming there isn't a way, here is the problem.

Yes.
There is a tweak for that

Preferences: Tweaks:

Code:

# Order of custom column(s) in edit metadata

metadata_edit_custom_column_order = ['#ok_fc', '#master', '#edited', '#usertags', '#read']

(Those custom cols are mine)

theducks - iou

Is there nothing he hasn't thought of, and done - well yes but no where near as much as the barbarian hordes at Adobe, Mozilla, Google, Ubuntu... etc etc.

I forgot how the Tweak search worked - press Next, not down arrow - doh

But I found a better solution, for me - create the HTML in a stand alone wysiwyg editor (Nvu) then cut & paste into my long text custom column. Works a treat.
