Details
This creates, and/or opens for editing, supplemental metadata text file(s) in image folders.
If make_new = TRUE, metadata files will be created in each directory of x. x
can be either a character vector or a uas_info object. The files will be named based on the value of md_file,
with an option to append a suffix md_suffix. Both md_file
and md_suffix should be of length 1 or equal to the number of x.
If open = TRUE, the text file(s) will be opened. To open existing metadata text files, let open = TRUE
and make_new = FALSE. By default, files will be opened with whichever text editor is in use by
R (see file.edit). To use the system text editor, let use_system_editor = TRUE.
To customize the fields that are added to flight metadata files, run uas_setflds first. To pre-populate some of the fields, pass
the path to an existing metadata file as the value for md_template. md_template can either be a local file or
online (example).
