Rank and File plug-in

NEW! Rank and File Lite all purchasers of Rank and File will also get a faster new version, Rank and File Lite. Because it works without user options, this version runs considerably faster, especially for large groups of files. Check the movie here to see how it works.

Rank and File is a script that extends the functionality of Adobe Bridge, the file browser in Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Photoshop CS3 Compatibility: Rank and File will be fully functional with Adobe Photoshop CS3, including the CS3 Beta. At the moment, testing shows full compatibility with CS3 on Mac. Windows compatibility may require a small redesign of the interface. Even if an revision is required, it will be a free upgrade for all purchasers.

We have created a discussion board to identify and deal with any problems surrounding the upgrade here.

Rank and File can write the Star Ratings into the IPTC keywords of an image file, so that other programs can see and use this valuable information. Read more.

Rank and File can write the Labels into either the Keywords, Headline, Title, or Description fields. This lets you use the Labels field to group images together to assign a common headline at one time. It also makes the Labels visible by other applications. Read more.

Rank and File can help you deal with the "white label" issue in Bridge. If the embedded Label name does not match the computer's current Label value, then it turns white. Rank and File can extract this older Label, store it safely in keywords, and reset the Label to "no value".

Rank and File can add a prefix to these annotations (e.g.: Peter's Ratings) so that you can keep track of where the embedded Labels and Ratings came from.

Rank and File can clear the Ratings and Labels after embedding the information into the IPTC fields, so that other users can start with a clean slate, but still have access to the previous Ratings and Labels. Read more.

Rank and File can Reverse the embedding process so that you can recover your Ratings and Labels in case you accidentally change them. This is also helpful if multiple users will be rating the files. Each user can automatically save and clear the other user's ratings, and simultaneously restore their own ratings. Read more.

Rank and File can transfer the Label Ratings in Bridge to the IPTC Urgency Field so that iView MediaPro's labels correspond to the ones you apply in Bridge. Read more.

Rank and File will place a text document in the image folder documenting the Ratings and Labels, and indicating the work it does to the file. Read more.
