Why isn't ratings information set in lightroom showing up in windows explorer file properties?

I am using Lightroom 3.4 64 bit on Windows7 64 bit.  When I apply keywords and set a rating in lightroom, only the keywords show up in the file properties in windows explorer, and FastStone viewer.  The ratings information is not shown.  Is this a known problem, or is there a way to fix it?

Hmm, are you remembering to do Metadata > Save Metadata To File after you change the rating in LR?
LR and Windows 7, Vista, and even XP (if you install Windows Live Photo Gallery) share metadata using industry-standard fields, and Windows' manipulation of the metadata is pretty robust.  In particular, they'll share the rating via the metadata field XMP:Rating.  I just verified this with LR 3.4 and Windows 7, but I'm pretty sure it also applies to earlier versions of LR 3:
1. In LR 3.4, change the rating of an image.
2. Metadata > Save Metadata To File
3. In Windows Explorer, right-click the image file and select Properties.
4. Observe the new rating on the Details tab.
5. Change the rating on the Details tab.
6. In LR, do Metadata > Read Metadata From File.  Observe the new rating in LR.

    Depending on your connection speed, it could take anywhere from 1-8 hours to download.  It's a 4GB download.
    On the average 3Mbps home network connection, it will take 3-4 hours to download.

  • Lightroom won't open Windows Explorer

    I'm running the current version of Lightroom. For a while now, it hasn't been opening Windows Explorer after I do an export (even though I have it set to do so), but that didn't bother me much so I let it go. But just now I wanted to view one of my photos in it's location on the hard drive, so I chose "show in Explorer" in the right-click menu, and it didn't open Explorer.  I searched the forums here, and also via Google for a solution but wasn't able top find one. Can you help?
    Thanks,
    DS

    It is working fine here, both as an Export setting and as a Right Click - Show in Explorer.

  • Folder permissions set in Powershell not visible in Windows Explorer

    Hi
    I have created the following script to grant TestGroup access to c:\MyFolder:
    $MyFolder = "c:\MyFolder"
    $rule = new-object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule ("TestGroup","FullControl","Allow")
    $acl = Get-ACL $MyFolder
    $acl.SetAccessRule($rule)
    Set-ACL -Path $MyFolder -AclObject $acl
    The script works and grants access. However, if I open the Security pane from Windows Explorer, I cannot see the permissions:
    But the permissions are set:
    Why can't I see the permissions in Explorer when they are set through Powershell?

    I added
    "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit","None","Allow")
    which seems to have done the trick.

    Can anyone answer this question for me? I am very frustrated with this issue. I had a lot of family members give me itunes gift cards for Christmas so that I could purchase appropriate songs for slideshows that I make for grandchildren and other family members. I cannot get any of the songs into my slideshows as it says that they are mp4's. Someone told me that they have to be mp3's and then someone told me that I could convert them to mp3s within itunes and export them to my slideshows. I am not selling the slideshows, only doing this as a hobby and am now upset that I spent so much time and money on songs I cannot use. Is this true, I can never use them in my slideshows? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Depends what they are. If you purchased .m4p files, be aware that they contain Apple-proprietary DRM "protection" that prevents their use in non-Apple programs. If you purchased .m4a files, you can use iTunes to convert them to MP3.
    For future reference, since you plan to use your music for multiple purposes, the most compatible format, by far, is MP3. Make sure that all music you purchase or rip is in MP3 format.

  • Lightroom watermarks not showing up in Windows explorer.

    Quick question for everybody. I imagine there's an easy solution for it, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
    The company I work for needs to manage and watermark many different types of photos (perfect for Lightroom.)  The only problem is, when Im uploading photos to our website, the Lightroom watermarks dont show up in the thumbnail preview of Windows Explorer. When I right click the image thumbnail and select "preview" the full size image preview pops up with the watermark. I guess my question is, is there any way to get the Lightroom watermarks to show up when viewing files in Explorer in large thumbnail view? It would save my a lot of time and frustration.
    Thanks ahead of time!

    Im including this image in case I did a terrible job of explaining my problem.

  • Why does iPhone put photos into random folders like "965YOKDJ" in windows explorer? I want all photos in one folder, not separated in a seemingly random manner.

    When I plug my iphone 5s into my windows computer and open it in windows explorer, all the photos are separated into folders like "965YOKDJ" and "823WGTMA". The photos don't seem to be separated in a logical way. I would rather them to all be in one folder or, if they are separated, at least have them separated in a logical way like date or something. I doubt, with it being an Apple product, there would be a setting I can change on the iPhone to change the way it labels photos and folders but if anyone knows a way to make this easier and more logical can you tell me? Also if any Apple employees happen to read this could you perhaps improve the way the iphone labels its photos?

    Thats the way the files have been configured since the original iPhone so I don't think they are going to change it anytime soon (since it's been 7 years) but you can certainly put in some feedback on apple.com/feedback
    I feel you pain somewhat on this one (at least back when I owned a PC).  The folders are not logical nor the naming scheme.  There is no setting you can change to change this as this is created by the operating system.  I would have to assume it is some sort of code.  I have noticed that when I do not take a picture for a long while, a new folder is formed, but again, I'm not sure of the criteria on how the iOS knows when to make a new folder inside the DCIM, but I have also seen with with some digital cameras that are not phones  

  • How to set preference to "show all" open windows in all open applications (until I quit)

    how do I set preferences to "show all" windows in all open applications (until I quit the application) ?

    Can you explain more what the problem is and what you want to see.
    All windows are shown by default, unless you minimize them, so I'm confused at what you are asking.

  • Why isn't my SharePoint online document library showing anything in the Title column for PDFs I upload?

    I've got a document library on my SharePoint Online site. I've enabled the Title column in the library view. When I upload Word documents, the title I entered into the document properties list (Word 2010, File > Info > Properties list > Title) appears
    in the Title column of my library in SharePoint. But when I upload the published PDF version (created from the same Word file using Word 2010 by File > Save As) to the library, there's nothing in the Title column. Why? Is SharePoint failing to read the
    metadata of the PDF file? Is Word 2010 failing to copy the metadata into the PDF file when it's created from the Word file?
    What's going wrong and how do I fix it?
    When answering, please keep in mind that I'm a SharePoint novice.
    Regards,
    Bruce Officer

    I think I've ruled out the possibility that Word isn't saving the Title property with the PDF when I convert to PDF using Word 2010's built-in Save As PDF command. I found a utility called Evermap AutoMetadata which shows all the metadata saved in a PDF
    file and the Title field is indeed present in the PDF, with the correct value. Windows File Explorer won't show that property as present, but AutoMetadata does. It now looks like SharePoint isn't reading that field for some reason. Does anyone know why, and
    what I should do about it?

  • Why isn't my projects in Photoshop Touch showing up when I open the app?

    When I open the photoshop app the screen where the projects are suppose to be are just grey... Nothing..... So can someone tell me why my projects isn't showing up??

    Well, that's strange. You should at least have the Tutorials and Intro on the starting screen.
    I'd say try an uninstall/reinstall but do not attempt that if you have not already backed up your PS Touch projects.

  • Why isn't my iPod Shuffle (Generation 2) showing up or being recognized on my [Hewlett Packard] PC running Windows 8?

    When I connect the iPod Shuffle to the computer via USB port, the light blinks orange 3 times, then green for half a second, and is recognized as a drive at first.  But then the green light turns off and is no longer recognized as a device (device disappears).  ***? I'm just frustrated because I've done almost everything I could think of, including watching several hours of YouTube "how-tos".  Grrrr.  Help, someone

    It's supposed to initially sync with iTunes (iPod's storage is mounted at first).  Then iTunes dismounts the iPod's storage, until it needs to sync again (such as when you load music).  To keep the iPod's storage mounted continously, you can set it to Enable disk use, on the iPod's Settings tab in iTunes.
    But you are saying it does not appear in iTunes at all when it is connected?  The latest version of iTunes may have the sidebar (on left side) hidden, which is where the shuffle appears (under DEVICES).  If the sidebar is hidden, you can show it by going to the menu bar, under View, and selecting Show Sidebar. 
    After doing that, the shuffle does not appear under DEVICES in the sidebar?
    If it does not appear in iTunes, make sure you have shut down and restarted your PC, if you have not since this problem occurred.  Also, do this to reset the shuffle

    Have you tried disconnecting all USB devices, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used), and connecting the shuffle to a direct USB port?
