Hide part of a photo's caption
Posted: 30 Oct 25, 23:30

Hello everyone,

The captions in my gallery for my photos contain the following:

Train data:
${xmp.xmp:Label} ${comment}

"xmp:xmp:Label" contains a number that I've added to the image. However, I've noticed that due to color coding in Lightroom, words like "Green, Yellow, Blue, Red, Purple" also appear unintentionally. This problem occurs with many, but not all, photos. Is there a way to automatically hide the aforementioned colors using some kind of code when they appear in the caption?

Here's an example of how it should normally look:

45673 HBI - HBKE

Sometimes, however, it looks like this:

Green 45673 HBI - HBKE

The "green" should be removed using code.

Unfortunately, this information is embedded so deeply in the EXIF data that it cannot be directly deleted in jALBUM.

I must admit, this is much harder to handle in jAlbum than at the source of the problem. Would you like to filter out common words from the caption, such as "blue" or "red"?

Yes, exactly, usually it's "green" and "yellow" that occur most frequently.

Exactly. I don't know LR, but can't you get it to stop writing the "colors" to that xmp field? Even better, get it to write the information you do want to xmp.dc:title[1], which jAlbum uses by default.
