ExifTool will add the metadata and also create a copy of the original PNG file at the same location. The first part of the script below simply asks the user to select the image file that you want to add chemical metaadata to, it then generates the POSIX path to the file since ExifTool requires UNIX style paths. The last part creates the shell script telling ExifTool to embed the metadata into the selected image file. The next part uses OpenBabel to generate a canonical SMILES. We then tall ChemBioDraw to get the SMILES string, with a little checking to make sure a structure is selected. Leave ChemBioDraw open with the structure in place. You also need OpenBabel and the easiest way to install is to install the ChemSpotlight plugin from hereįirst draw the structure in Chemdraw and save it as a PNG, ignore the warning that chemical information will be lost, we are going to embed it in the metadata :-). If you have installed ExifTool anywhere else you will need to install the configuration file in the appropriate place. sudo mv /Users/Chris/Desktop/ExifTool_config /usr/bin/.ExifTool_config ExifTool_config (note the leading period!).

This script again relies on the excellent ExifTool by Phil Harvey (). In the previous tutorial (Applescript Tutorial 8) I showed how to use applescript to extract the information from the PNG file and then display the structure in a couple of chemical display packages in an editable form.Ī couple of people have asked for a tool to embed metadata into images and this script shows how to add SMILES string to a PNG file using ChemBioDraw. As we move to a more web-centric view of the world it is apparent that much of research information will be only available via the web, whilst images of chemical structures are usually adequate for a human viewer the chemical structure cannot be indexed and subsequently searched. Rich Apodaca has been discussing embedding molecular information in images of molecules, such as a PNG file depicting a 2D structure.
