Variables in the Metadata Toolbox
When editing the metadata of a file, the Metadata Toolbox supports variable replacement for many fields: You can type text of the form {country} in a field, for example This photo was taken in {country}. in the description of the image. When the file is downloaded again, the {country} part will be replaced by whatever the file has in the Country field.
This can greatly simplify changing the metadata of many files: You can prepare the changes that you want to apply, save them and then apply them to many files at the same time.
The replacement is performed multiple times, if needed: If Country itself contains a variable, that variable is replaced before {country} is inserted.
