Push CaptureOne keywords into IPTC Description field because CaptureOne won't.

CaptureOne won't allow you to use Keywords in filename exports, but only has a nice GUI for adding keywords to files - Editing metadata is a pain in the arse. As a consequence I end up with keyworded files, and no way to meaningfully name exported files.

Installation:

Create folder %USERPROFILE%.keyswap , and add it to your PATH envvar:
- C:> setx path "%PATH%;C:\path\to\directory"
Add all files from repository to the folder you just created above.

Usage:

Select all files in C1, hit Ctrl+S to save metadata to XMP files.
Close C1.
Open a powershell prompt and navigate to the session capture/selects folder, wherever your RAW files are hiding.
Run the following PS command:


Get-ChildItem -Path "." -Filter *.xmp |
ForEach-Object {
  keyswap.bat $_.DirectoryName $_.Name}
}

This will create a backup folder containing the original XMPs, and amend the XMPs in the capture folder accordingly.

USE AT OWN RISK. Ideally do this operation as a first step before creating complex edits.
