That is so helpful, Walter! I’ve forgot about utilizing those columns. Thank you for a perfect advice. This is the way!👍🤩

Thanks Chris,
You are very helpful! I never took the time before, but now I have set up my keyboard short cuts correctly for this. Scandinavian keyboards have hidden the square brackets on the ALT(gr)+number 8 and 9 keys so bracket short cuts have always been a bit tricky to use. I’ve set up a custom short cut, thanks to you. Works perfectly!

….This is the way👍

Agree, Royce! It comes with a cation, still a nice addition to other help resources. But error free….nope 😇

Better late than never, Kevin. I actually used your input in the project all this time ago. But I forgot to credit and thank you. So….Thank You, Kevin. Your post was very useful 😊👍

Late reply! Forgot to set the email notifyer, but excellent suggestion, Trent!
Thanks ?

Perfect….absolutely perfect!
Asking for help and being blessed with someone else, whom you’ve never met and from any part of the world to collaborate and showing kindness is the most satisfying thing.

Thank you SO much Filip (and everyone else here) for your contributions.

Thanks so much for this. I only have a minor request for you guys:
How can I scale or change the rectangle’s margin proportionally with the text size?

Thanks again for helping.

Still no development from Adobe on this simple problem. All those metadata available but most of them are blank. Non of them carry any relevant info on creation date etc. During the years I’ve found ways of dealing with this problem, but would be nice if we could sort our bin timelines properly?
Maybe there will be a change in this decade?

Thanks Dan!

Your approach makes sense, but I actually found a different answer that worked before you replied. I tried to update my post as “answered”, but was censored by the moderator?!????
Hopes this reply goes through.

PS pretty proud of myself figuring out this by myself before Dan himself came to the rescue. My solution worked, but Dan’s solution is probably more well-considered?

Thanks anyway ????
