Stacks in Bridge CS4

[filip]

Hi everyone,

I've got some pictures on my laptop and they are put into different stacks (all pano's together, all hdr's together, ...)
When I copy the files to my desktop, the stack info is gone.
Is it possible to save this stack info into exif or something else to keep track of the stacks.

thanks,

Filip

Filip,
Stacks info is held int he cache for that computer only. You could assign a keyword as the vector for that information.
Lightroom lets you preserve and move stacks info by saving and moving the catalog, but you can't see the stacks info outside the catalog.

Peter,

I've found out that Bridges makes a .BridgeSort file.

The content of the file is for example:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<dirinfo>
<stack version='1' expanded='false' framerate='29.97' onionskin='0' >
<files>
   <item key='_DSC2539.NEF20100314145942' />
   <item key='_DSC2540.NEF20100314145942' />
   <item key='_DSC2541.NEF20100314145942' />
   <item key='_DSC2542.NEF20100314145943' />
   <item key='_DSC2543.NEF20100314145943' />
   <item key='_DSC2544.NEF20100314145943' />
</files>
</stack>
</dirinfo>
