MetaGrove provides intuitive, high-fidelity metadata capture via a menu item directly within Illustrator.

Update the metadata while the graphic file is already open in Illustrator, saving the "locate, open, and save" overheads incurred with a seperate metadata-only application. As the number and size of the graphic files grow, the time saved grows.

Standard XMP MetaGrove dialog examples:
  Esko-Graphics Scope Document Information
  Adobe Illustrator XMP Paged-Text

Enterprises can implement custom schema properties and MetaGrove dialogs with the companion MetaGrove Developer which take advantage of the full depth of XMP's capability to match the natural organization of their metadata.

Available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
  MetaGrove for Illustrator $199.00
  System requirements:
  Adobe Illustrator CS3, CS2,
    or CS (Mac only)
  Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard

MetaGrove Features:

  • Custom metadata Schemas. Choose from industry standard schemas, create your own, or create a combination.

  • Help Tags and Tool Tips. Mouse-over accessible explanation fields increase the speed and accuracy of metadata capture.
  • Required Fields. Optional required fields ensure that all essential metadata is captured.
  • Auto-Complete. Fields with commonly used values are automatically filled with just a few keystrokes, increasing the consistency, speed and accuracy of metadata capture.
  • Dynamic Data Support. Optionally query a web server to complete fields based upon the contents other fields in the panel.
  • Default Values. A optional default value can be specified for each field in the dialog.
  • Data Validation. Default, and optional additional, validation is evaluated as the user completes a field entry. An alert message advises correction details. Invalid metadata is never saved.
