Action Scripts
Actions scripts are shell scripts or batch files, written by advanced computer users with a plain text editor, e.g. Notepad, and available in JPhotoTagger, when added through the menu item Window > Actions.
If you are not firm with batch files, scripts, the commands used in the scripts, what they are doing, please skip this page or use it carefully. Apart from that, you may find here some useful hints for your own scripts.
Beside calling these scripts through Window > Actions > Run, JPhotoTagger can execute them after adding metadata into it's database through Edit > Settings > 7. Actions.
