Is there an action or script that is available, so when a file is opened in Photoshop, the keyword data can be automatically viewed in another window? I know it can be seen in Bridge, however I want a closable window that displays the metadata upon opening the file with out additional keystokes to get the the file info.
See EXAMPLE.jpg |

All you need to do is set up File - Scripts - Script Events Manager to call this one line script on open document event.
| Code: |
alert(activeDocument.info.keywords);

|

If I want to add another window, i.e. the description window, to the script, do I just duplicate the code line and add description?
alert(activeDocument.info.keywords);
alert(activeDocument.info.description); |

Close, but this should be better...
| Code: |
var doc = app.activeDocument.info;
alert(doc.keywords+"\r"+doc.caption);
|
Or with a bit of error checking you could use this..
| Code: |
var dlg = new Window( 'dialog', 'Information' );
dlg.alignChildren="column";
dlg.p1= dlg.add("panel", undefined, undefined, {borderStyle:"black"});
dlg.p1.st1 = dlg.p1.add('statictext',undefined,'Keywords');
dlg.p1.st1.alignment='left';
dlg.p1.keys = dlg.p1.add('statictext',undefined,'No keywords');
dlg.p1.st2 = dlg.p1.add('statictext',undefined,'Description');
dlg.p1.st2.alignment='left';
dlg.p1.desc = dlg.p1.add('statictext',undefined,'No description');
var doc = app.activeDocument.info;
if(doc.keywords != '') dlg.p1.keys.text = doc.keywords.toString();
if(doc.caption != '') dlg.p1.desc.text = doc.caption;
dlg.p1.but = dlg.p1.add('button',undefined,'Okay');
dlg.p1.but.onClick = function(){
dlg.close(1);
}
dlg.center();
dlg.show();
