Parametric/sequential populating of metadata fields

What problem do you see this solving?

When I’m putting a set of proofs together for a client, I export a set of JPEGs named in the format JobID_Title, with a watermark of the filename. (Example: 2315_Ext_01) I also need to be able to later click on an image and see what its title is.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

Every job I do.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

I manually enter a title number for each image so it can be picked up in the watermark and export file name. This is tedious, as well as an opportunity for me to make numbering errors.

I don’t just use my capture names because as an architectural photographer, each scene is often a composite of several frames. Also, I usually rearrange the the proof sequence from the capture order to make better sense for the client.
