RV Shotgun plugin to copy metadata

This is a plugin that allows the user to copy certain metadata from an image in RV. RV is an image, audio and video review software owned by Shotgun.

Usage

The plugin finds information in the image metadata for a contact-sheet in which each quadrant corresponds to a location on disk where the original is stored.

It was written to help a client with a particular need. Given a contact-sheet with different clips rendered as JPEG sequence, the metadata contains a list of the locations of the original clips on disk as well as the coordinates in pixels of each clip on the image. The plugin takes the location of the mouse pointer and matches it to the location on disk copying to the clipboard.
