Key Operations

Custom Metadata

Version Cue clients can display custom metadata provided by your Version Cue Server plug-

ins, in contexts such as the Inspector Panel of Adobe Bridge CS3 or the File Info area of the

Adobe File > Open dialog.

The Inspector Panel in Adobe Bridge CS3 is a read-only metadata view component of the

Bridge user interface, which lets per-asset metadata be visualized; it is entirely different from

the standard Bridge Metadata panel, which is used to display and edit XMP-based metadata.

Figure 3 shows a view of custom metadata for an asset selected in the Content pane of Adobe

Bridge CS3. The Inspector Panel displays custom metadata for a file selected in the Content

pane.

Note that for a Version Cue Server plug-in to display metadata in a context such as the Inspec-

tor Panel, one of its responsibilities is to advertise a particular project capability to the Version

Cue clients; in this case, the capability to overwrite the metadata view at the Version Cue client

for assets within a particular project. In “Modifying Project Capabilities” on page 9, we exam-

ine what capabilities are in a little more detail.

Modifying Project Capabilities

In addition to advertising the additional capabilities a Version Cue Server plug-in supports for

a given project, the Version Cue Server plug-in also can restrict or remove capabilities from

the default set, or provide only a specific subset. For instance, this extensibility feature can be

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ... 33 34
