Re: Append value to existing tag
Hi Laurent,

This will work if you use the proper argument syntax.

For the caption-abstract, you don't want to assign a new value (with "="). Instead, you want to "redirect" the value from another tag (with "<"). Of course, in this case the tag is itself, but the same syntax applies:

-IPTC:Caption-Abstract<$caption-abstract Text
