Sure.
To show generic panel is very simple. For your reference I created a generic panel and tested it on Mac 9.x. It is visible in bridge metadata panel. Please follow the following steps to create a Bridge metadata panel
Step 1. Create a file " xmppanel_for_bridge.xml "
Step 2. Copy/put the following content in the above file and save.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xmp_definitions>
<xmp_schema prefix='mypanel' namespace='http://ns.adobe.com/mypanel/' label='$$$/my/FileInfoLib/Panels/Name=mypanel'>
<!-- simple properties -->
<xmp_property name="Text" category="external" label="$$$/Custom/Panel/Document Title=Property 1 Name:" type="text"/>
<xmp_property name="Text2" category="external" label="$$$/Custom/Panel/Credit=Property 2 Name:" type="text"/>
<xmp_property name="Bool1" category='external' label="$$$/Custom/Property/BooleanInput_Label=Check Box Input:" type='boolean'/>
<xmp_property name="Bool2" category='external' label="$$$/Custom/Property/BooleanInput_Label2=Check Box Input2:" type='boolean'/>
</xmp_schema>
</xmp_definitions>
Step 3. (If you have Bridge CC) Copy/move the above file into <you bridge installed path>/Contents/Application Data/Custom File Info Panels/4.0/custom folder. This the same folder where you can see DICOM.xml, Mobile.xml etc. are there.
If you have CS6, put it into Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0/custom folder.
Step 4. Relaunch the bridge, you will see your panel named "mypanel"
If you are still unable to see the panel, check it in bridge preferences whether you panel is checked or not (by default new panel are checked).
- Click on Adobe Bridge CC menu
- Click on Preferences
on the left side you can see metadata,
select that,
on the right side you can see your panel.
It is checked, check it.
Relaunch Bridge and see your panel
