Hi folks,
I am using SIRIUX theme and like it for what I needed. However, I have thousands of photos that have IPTC data embedded and I was wondering if there's a way that G2.2 can put that IPTC caption into the photo description field, rather than the current EXIF/IPTC block?

Thanks for any leads or advice!

Sure, in the EXIF/IPTC area of your SITE ADMIN, just look for the "put iptc caption into item description" checkbox...something along those lines. It's listed there. It works great.

I don't see "put iptc caption into item description" in that area, just:

"When photos are added to Gallery check for EXIF Image Description and apply to"

I'd like to use iptc, not exif. Do I need to set something else??

I'm using v.2.2.

Thanks!

Mess with it a little and you'll get it working. It took trial and error for me.
