Copy AutoTags to XMP Keywords?

[Ian]

Is there a way to automatically copy AutoTags to XMP Keywords?

I see how to do it manually in the AutoTags Inspector, but I don't see a way to do it on a batch of images.

I did find the Metadata > Transfer Metadata function, but it doesn’t look like AutoTags can be a source field.

The reason I ask - you can search AutoTags, but only one at a time:

But you can use multiple search criteria in the Find function:

AutoTags are not an available field in Find, though, so if I can copy AutoTags to XMP Keywords, that solves my problem.

You can use the "Find Anything" either in QuickFind, or in the Find Editor, as that will also search AutoTags stored in your Catalogs.

Moving them from their own storage to the full "official" XMP Keywords field is indeed currently only manually possible in the AutoTags Inpector, but we will discuss this here for more search and move options.

Thank you!
