Postprocessing metadata extension

[werid]

hi,

i'm extracting metadata like this:

"postprocessors": [{  
    "name": "metadata",  
    "mode": "custom",  
    "extension": "txt",  
    "format": "date: {date}\ncreator: {creator[vanity]}\ntitle: {title}\n\n{content}"  
}]  

The extension gets added to filename, it doesn't replace the original extension, so you get example.jpg.txt instead of example.txt

Is this possible to do somehow?

Not possible with just the metadata post processor module. I'll see if I can come up with an appropriate option or something.

In the meantime, you could run a (shell) command with an exec post processor and rename the metadata file with that.

a412531 adds a extension-format option that lets you specify a (format) string that completely replaces the old extension. In your case, you'd have to just replace "extension" with "extension-format".

And, by the way, "format" is now called "content-format", but the old name still works. 26d2334
