Adding detailed meta data

I've tried to look a few more times, but I haven't been able to work it out. I want to add detailed meta data to all my images. When I can add the exact same meta data to a batch, I can use the Sync Metadata button. However, I haven't been able to find a way to get that dialogue box when I want to add data to just one image (as there's nothing to sync). At the moment, I'm creating virtual copies to 'sync', so I can add detailed metadata.

When you only want to add metadata to one photo, you do that over on the right in the Metadata panel.

  • Keyword question, added to meta data?

    I saw a thread about keywords not showing up in converted files meta data. I believe the solution was to make sure that auto-update xmp was set. So does this mean that to have keywords associated with my files outside of LR that I will need to use an xmp sidecar file as well? So if I send files to my stock agency, or to a client who needs the keywords I will need to send the converted file and be sure that the xmp file is sent as well? If this is the case, has anyone who does this encountered problems with their submitted photos/xmp files not being handled properly by their clients/agencies?
    Perhaps I am not understanding. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks

    This shouldn't be an issue.
    XMP only needs to be updated when you want the keywords to go into your originals (i.e. the same files that are in your library).
    Keywords and other metadata are always inserted into to exported files (JPEG, TIFF, DNG, etc), except if you check the "minimize metadata" option in the Export dialog box.

  • How to Create .m4v Meta Data ?

    I am having difficulty with retaining meta-data in .m4v files that I create.
    The issue revolves around the .m4v file format, which can be produced using source DV data with applications such as Quicktime, iMovie, etc.
    iTunes gives the user the ability to import .m4v files into iTunes and offers a way of customizing the metadata which then iTunes uses to sort and categorize as either TV Shows or Movies.
    By default, iTunes assigns all imported .m4v files to the Movie category. I attempted to change the categorization to "TV Show", and added additional meta-data, but for some reason this meta-data doesn't seem to be stored as an integral part of the file, but somewhere else.
    The problem is when I move the data from one machine to another, say for a server upgrade, or a client upgrade. The meta data appears to be lost.
    I would like the ability to retain the meta data that has been entered either by retaining the files that contain the meta data, or by knowing how to embed the meta data into the file itself.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'd recommend using Lostify ( http://lostify.com/about/ ) to tag your files. This is done with the actual file and not in itunes so it should be transportable. I wouldn't worry about it's automatic tagging as you can do this manually.
    Kind regards

  • Adding a custom meta data field which lists out content id based on query

    How can we add a custom meta data filed which lists out content id based on query like dDocType <matches> `AssociatedProduct`?
    Or other alternative would be to have a custom metadata field such that it allows selection of content id using link wizard which we typically use in site studio. It would be preferable to have this second option as it is user friendly. Can we do this on a check-in screen?

  • Adding Meta Data Permanently to files but nothing else

    Can You add your Meta Data information permanently to a file but not any of the other lighting changes? Like you can do in Bridge? So all the hard work stays with the images even if say you lightroom computer died or was stolen?
    I know I could export the files and then it would be permanently added but then I would have a double library/hard disk space use.

    Auto export to XMP set in the prefs writes to XMP sidecars for RAWs, but puts it in JPEGs, TIFFs and DNGs. Seems like tis is what you want. There are many very vocal on not liking the idea of LR doing this to there 'Originals'. It is just a Metadata ad, not changing the actual image info.

  • While adding localization for appstore meta data, I cannot find the language Polish (Polski)

    While adding localization for appstore meta data, I cannot find the language Polish (Polski) under the option Choose another language: in iTunes connect.
    I am updating the app to a newer version. I need to show the App description etc in Polish too. But I can't fnd the Polish in the list of languages that can be
    added. Screen shot of languages is attached.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about adding attachments to list items in app.
    To add attachment to list item in the host web, we should first get the list and the list items from the host web, then add the attachments to the list items.
    There are two articles about retrieve the list and list items in the host web, you can refer to them.

    http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/93cb27/retrieve-sharepoint-app-host-web-list-items-in-sharepoint-ho/
    What’s more, we can also use the REST API to achieve the same scenario.

  • Songbird Damaged iTunes Meta Data and Recently Added List. Best way to fix?

    Hello, Apple forums.
    A while ago (Long enough to fix some of the broken Meta data), I tried out Songbird as an alternative for when I'm gaming and want a little extra resources.
    Unfortunately, I set it up to sync between iTunes and Songbird, and Songbird "updated" my iTunes information and removed META data in the process for any song played on Songbird.
    It also had the recently added moved to "Songbird > Recently Added," and proceeded to fill it with every song in my library.
    My music is stored on a Western Digital MyBook external HDD (320GB) formatted to FAT32.
    I have fifteen playlists, and would like to retain ratings and play counts on the songs.
    My library reads "8196 songs, 19:15:40:31 total time, 50.13"
    Granted, a couple hundred of these are the ones missing the META data and are broken entries (IE has all the data listed but does not have the file where it should be) and their META-less version added from %library%\music\unknown artists\unknown album\
    (The tracks retain their real name with the track number prefixing them, it's just a matter of going through all of the songs and matching them up)
    Given that this is as it is, how should I go about this?
    I would also like to keep the apps for my 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS Pois0ned 4.2.1).
    All music is either imported from a CD or an independent artist.
    I don't have access to all of the CD's, nor do I particularly want to manually re-add everything.
    I am more concerned with the recently added playlist being fixed! I understand that I will have to cut my losses on the META data!

    I thought you said Songbird had removed metadata. Most files carry metadata in a tag. If a file "goes missing" because another program chooses to relocate it iTunes will retain an entry in the library with all that information. The FindTracks script makes a bash at locating the moved files in a number of alternate locations, including the unknown artist/unknown album folder or the main Music folder. If the files have actually had metadata removed, but have a tag, then iTunes will read the damaged data and update itself. Not necessarily what you want. For files that are in a logical artist/album layout but don't have tags you could be better off repairing tags first with, for example, MediaMoney's AutoTag from Filename feature.

    I had to look up RAT. I'm guessing you meant something like remote admin/access tool. By all means be wary of anything recommended on this site but to accuse me of being underhand without any evidence is hardly the way to start a fruitful conversation. I thought you wanted help here...

  • Adding alternative text (meta data)

    How do you add Alternative Text to an existing jpeg?
    Thanks

    Good day!
    A jpg can not have »proper« editable text (except in the meta data etc.) but rather presents an image of text.
    So changing text in the image would require removing the old text (if it is not completely covered by the new text at least) by using the various tools available for such a task in Photoshop (Clone Stamp Tool, Content Aware Fill, …) and writing in the new one (with the Type Tool for example).
    In such a case it might pay off to keep the layered psd file and save a jpg off of that (File > Save As).

  • Workflow for avchd clips and meta data

    Just started using a Panasonic AG-AF100 on a 5 month project.  Will be producing 1000's of clips.  So I have off-loaded the first 3 cards we shot and have discovered something about avccam material.  If you just copy the .MTS files from their /stream folder or rename the file with a name instead of its original number produced in the camera you lose the timecode and other meta data.
    If I leave the clips in that folder and other card folders in their associated directories and "import" clip with Premiere Media Browser it retains the timecode.  Trouble is that I cannot see thumbnails in Media Browser and the clip number means little.  Bridge on my Win7/64bit machine shows thumbnails (but no preview) and a double-click will preview in Win Media Player.
    On my main edit station (Vista/64bit) Bridge neither shows thumbnails or previews and I get no avchd .mts playback in Windows Media Player.  Everything worrks the same within Premiere, nice solid editing and playback of avchd clips. (I will probably upgrade this machine to Win7 next week)
    So my request for advice/questions are:
    Suggestions for managing and organizing large qualities of clips with what will be similar names, etc
    Previewing updates or options to find media
    How do you manage AVCHD material and still maintain meta data?
    Thanks so much!!  As I get older and the technology seems faster, stronger, sharper, the demands on my brain get tougher.
    Rick

    Rick,
    If you just copy the .MTS files from their /stream folder or rename the file with a name instead of its original number produced in the camera you lose the timecode and other meta data. 
    If I leave the clips in that folder and other card folders in their associated directories and "import" clip with Premiere Media Browser it retains the timecode.
    You mustmustmust keep the files in their folder structure, if you intend to maintain timecode. You've clearly discovered this Good you did so early. The folder structure thing is really not a big deal; there is very little need to manipulate these at the OS level, and the Media Browser in PPro makes it reasonably easy to bring these in for editing. You can pre-build a folder structure into which you can offload each card's worth of clips.
    Trouble is that I cannot see thumbnails in Media Browser and the clip number means little.  Bridge on my Win7/64bit machine shows thumbnails (but no preview) and a double-click will preview in Win Media Player. 
    On my main edit station (Vista/64bit) Bridge neither shows thumbnails or previews and I get no avchd .mts playback in Windows Media Player.  Everything worrks the same within Premiere, nice solid editing and playback of avchd clips. (I will probably upgrade this machine to Win7 next week)
    Windows 7 has built-in splitters and decoders for H.264 media, so that's the reason you can at least get thumbnails in Bridge and playback the files in WMP there. The Media Browser, even on Windows 7, won't show thumbnails as they are not saved into the folder structure the way that P2 saves a poster image into the folder structure. Note that even "standard" containers like AVI or MOV do not display a thumbnail in Media Browser.
    As far as Bridge is concerned: I know a lot of people like it, but from my perspective, it's just about worthless for video. This is largely an application designed for photography workflows that has been shoehorned into "working" with video. I don't even like it for AVI/MOV.
    The ugly truth is that Bridge is not going to be much, if any, help in this workflow. However, there may be another tool in the suite that will accomplish what you need: OnLocation. You won't get thumbnails, but you can browse through the folder structure without knowing you're doing it, import clips to preview them, and add metadata. You could do this for each card you offload. Then, in Premiere, simply use Media Browser to navigate to your OnLocation Project, and it will open up just like a folder, listing all your clips with the metadata you added. Granted, it is not a perfect workflow, but once you added that metadata, it will flow with the files wherever you move them around in the Adobe suite--it won't go elsewhere, as it's not injected into the files themselves. So long as you're editing in Premiere, you're good.
    Now, there is another thing you can do that may make clip management even easier, though it does require a bit of forethought in pre-production. It will really depend on the type of project you're shooting, but you can preload metadata on to an SD card and into the camera, and then automatically record this to the clips as they are shot! I don't have an AVCCAM to give you exact workflow steps, but I do this all the time with my P2 workflow and it's a tremendous help once you hit the edit bay.
    If you haven't already, head over to the Panasonic support site: Support Desk Top / Broadcast and Professional AV. You'll need to register for a "PASS" membership (it's free, and you don't need to register a camera), but you can then download the AVCCAM Viewer application. Unfortunately, this application is not quite as helpful as P2 Viewer is (it's rather cartoony, actually), but it does have the metadata editor in it that will let you create your metadata files in advance and save them to an SD card. Then, after consulting the camera manual , you can set those metadata files to be a data source for the footage as you record it. Here's what you can add to the metadata files and, summarily, the clips:
    Once you load this into the camera's memory, that data is saved into the clips, and is readable by Premiere. The "User Clip Name" field can be set to auto-increment (again, this is going off my knowledge of the way metadata works in a P2 camera, but the AVCCAM should be similar) so that each clip has a base name and then a serial number. When you're done with a particular scene/shot, you'd load the next metadata files, reset the indexing, and continue. Lather, rinse, repeat.
    The biggest hole in the metadata workflow, at least as it pertains to AVCHD/AVCCAM, is that there is no tool (that I'm aware of) that lets you edit this metadata after the fact. With P2, you can--there are a number of applications, both free and payware, that let you do this--but I've yet to find one that works with AVCCAM. Even Panasonic's own AVCCAM Viewer is incapable of this, it seems.
    The major advantage to adding file metadata like this is that it travels wherever the clips go, and into whatever application they land in. Not being able to edit it after the fact, though, just plain sucks. This is where the clip metadata you'd add in the Adobe applications comes into play, with the obvious disadvantage that it's only useful in Adobeland. As always, ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
    So that's my take on this--it's good you're looking into this before you have a couple terabytes worth of footage on hand Let me know if I can help fill in any details that I might have overlooked. And be sure to check on the Panasonic site linked above for firmware updates to the AF100--I see one came out just a few days ago. It's always good to stay current.
    Good luck!

  • Meta data values getting cleared from a document

    Hi,
    I am having a document library with some word(.docx) documents which has quick parts in the documents. The meta data are displayed in the quick part. When the document is downloaded to desktop and uploaded to another document libray the meta data  in
    quick parts is getting cleared.I need to retain the  data in the quick part. I came to know that by using site columns we can solve this issue. But as we cant change the existing sharepoint site it is not possible to use site columns. Can anybody help
    me on this?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Rahul.

    Hi Rahul,
    Did you add the Managed Metadata column value to the document through the quick parts?
    Per my test, if I downloaded and uploaded the document to another library, then the values of the managed metadata column added through the quick parts in the document were not cleared.
    I recommend to check if there are same fields added in the quick parts in the two libraries and the field does not contain data in the other library for the document, so the value is cleared.
    Could you please provide more details about the two library and the content type used?
    Best regards.

  • Property Meta data fixing

    Hi,
    I am created a one property meta data.
    if i am adding in all groups it reflects all the groups.
    But my requirement is i want show the property in a perticular floder only.
    Ex:/documents/Test.
    And next thing what is use of
    Floder validity pattern
    Document validity pattern.
    Thank you,

    Hi Patrick,
    you have to be very careful when setting the validity pattern.
    First of all you have to make sure you use "/" and not "\" as in Martin's example.
    Also, you have to take care about the upper and lower case. You have to use the cases used in the folder ids.
    The best way to get the correct folder path to use, is if you check the folder's details -> properties, and check the path in the access link. You can grab the part in the Explorer URL behind "/navigation" and before "?".
    Furthermore you can use the same entry for the "Folder Validity Patterns" and for the "Document Validity Patterns". The first one influences if the property is shown when you are maintaining folder properties, the second one when you are maintaining document properties.
    Hope that clarifies a bit,
    Robert

  • Meta data for streaming mp3s?

    Hello
    I'm using Flash Media Streaming Server and I read that I can
    not obtain meta data on mp3s using FMS.
    Is this true?
    I want to be able to seek/scrub audio tracks, but I would
    probably need the duration of the mp3.
    If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great!
    Thanks

    many nodes of the faces-config have xxxx-extension . Some of them will be added in the JSF 1.2. This is a place where the meta-data is stored. The JSR-276 ( http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=276 ) is dedicated to Design-time Meta-data standartization. The initial proposal is here: http://www.jsfcentral.com/reading/index.html#Proposals
    The JSR is just created. So, it is about the future. Currently, each tool has its own meta-data format and uses it is own way how the custom components are presented and work inside the tool.

  • Images (w/correct meta data) are in catalog and on disk, but LR 5.7 considers them new on Import

    For reasons explained below, I want to try to re-import all my images into LR and hope that none/few are in fact considered new and are imported.  Yet, for some folders, LR is apparently unable to detect that my source images are already in the catalog, and are on disk, and that the source file meta data matches what LR knows about the images.  When I click an image in LR and Show in Finder, I do see the imported image on disk.  I can edit the image in the Develop module.  So, it seems good, but all is not well.   Sorry for the long post here, but I wanted to provide as much info as I could, as I am really seeking your help, which I'd very much appreciate.
    Here are some screen shots that illustrate the problem:
    Finder contents of the original images
    LR folder hierarchy
    an image as seen in LR
    Finder content of external LR copy of images
    import showing 10 "new" photos
    The original images ... (I'm not sure why the file date is April 2001 but the actual image date is January 2011; I may have just used the wrong date on the folder name?)
    The LR folder hierarchy ...
    An image as seen in LR ...
    The external folder containing the images in the LR library
    But on import of the original source folder, LR sees 10 "new" photos ...
    I tried "Synchronize Folder ..." on this particular folder, and it simply hangs half-way through as seen in the screen shot below.   IS THIS AN LR BUG?   This is really odd, since "Synchronize Folder ..." on the top-level folder completes quickly.
    I have a spreadsheet of of the EXIF data for the original files and those created by LR.  (I extracted this info using the excellent and free pyExifToolGui graphical frontend for the command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey.)   Almost all of the Exif data is the same, but LR has added some additional info to the files after import, including (of course) keywords.  However, I would not have expected the differences I found to enter into the duplicate detection scheme.  (I didn't see a way to attach the spreadsheet to this posting as it's not an "image".)
    I'm running LR 5.7 on a 27" iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2, having used LR since LR2.  I have all my original images (.JPEGs and RAWs of various flavors) on my internal drive on the Mac.   To me this is like saving all my memory cards and never re-using them.   Fortunately, these files are backed up several ways.   I import these images (copying RAWs as DNG) into LR with a renaming scheme that includes the import number, original file creation date and original file name.   There should be one LR folder for each original source file folder, with the identical folder name (usually a place and date).  I store the LR catalog and imported images on an external drive.  Amazingly and unfortunately my external drive failed as did it's twin, same make/size drive that I used as a backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.   I used Data Rescue 4 to recover to a new disk what I thought was almost all of the files on the external drive.
    So, I thought all would be well, but, when I tried "Synchronize Folder" using the top-level folder of my catalog, the dialog box appeared saying there were over 1000 "New" photos that had not been imported.  This made be suspicious that I had failed to recover everything.   But actually things are much worse than I thought..   I have these counts of images:
    80,0061 files in 217 folders for my original source files (some of these may be (temporary?) copies that I actually don't want to import into LR)
    51,780 files in 187 folders on my external drive containing the LR photo library
    49,254 images in the top-level folder in the LR catalog (why different from the external file count?)
    35,332 images found during import of the top-level folder containing original images
    22,560 images found as "new" by LR during import
    1,074 "new" images reported by Synchronize Folder ... on the top-level folder in the catalog; different from import count
    Clearly things are badly out of sync.   I'd like to be sure I have all my images in LR, but none duplicated.   Thus, I want to try to import the entire library and have LR tell me which photos are new.  I have over 200 folders in LR.  I am now proceeding to try importing each folder, one at a time, to try to reconcile the differences and import the truly missing images.  This will be painful.  And it may not be enough to fully resolve the above discrepancies.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  I'd really appreciate your help!
    Ken

    Thanks for being on the case, dj!   As you'll see below, YOU WERE RIGHT!      But I am confused.
        1. Does the same problem exist if you try to import (not synchronize) from that folder? In other words, does import improperly think these are not duplic
    YES.  Import improperly thinks they are NOT duplicates, but they are in fact the same image (but apparently not the EXACT SAME bytes on disk!)
        2. According to the documentation, a photo is considered a duplicate "if it has the same, original filename; the same Exif capture date and time; and the same file size."
    This is my understanding too.
        3. Can you manually confirm that, for an example photo, that by examining the photo in Lightroom and the photo you are trying to synchronize/import, that these three items are identical?
    NO, I CAN'T!  The ORIGINAL file name (in the source folder) is the SAME as it was when I first imported that folder.  That name is used as part of the renaming process using a custom template. However, the file SIZES are different.    Here is the Finder Get Info for both files.  Initially, they appeared to be the same SIZE, 253KB, looking at the summary. But, if you look at the exact byte count, however, the file sizes are DIFFERENT: 252,632 for the original file and 2252,883 for the already-imported file:
    This difference alone is enough to indicate why LR does not consider the file a duplicate.
    Furthermore, there IS one small difference in the EXIF data regarding dates ... the DateTimeOriginal:

    So ... now I see TWO reasons why LR doesn't consider these duplicates.   Though the file NAME is the same (as original), the file sizes ARE slightly different.  The EXIF "DateTimeOriginal" is DIFFERENT.   Therefore, LR considers them NOT duplicates.
         4a. With regards to the screen captures of your images and operating system folder, I do not see that the filename is the same; I see the file names are different. Is that because you renamed the photos in Lightroom (either during import or afterwards)?
    I renamed the file on import using a custom template ...
            4b. Can you show a screen capture of this image that shows the original file name in the Lightroom metadata panel (it appears when the dropdown is set to EXIF and IPTC)?
    SO ....
    The METADATA shown by LR does NOT include the ORIGINAL file name (but I think I have seen it displayed for other files?).  The File SIZE in the LR metadata panel (246.96 KB) is different from what Finder reports (254 KB).  There are three "date" fields in the LR metadata, and five that I've extracted from the EXIF data.   I'm not sure which EXIF date corresponds to the "Data Time" shown in the LR metadata.
    I don't understand how these differences arose.   I did not touch the original file outside LR.   LR is the only program that touches the file it has copied to my external drive during import.  (though it was RECOVERED from a failed disk by Data Rescue 4),
    NOW ...
    I understand WHY LR considers the files different (but not how they came to be so).  The question now is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?   Is there any tool I can use to adjust the original (or imported) file's SIZE and EXIF data to match the file LR has?  Any way to override or change how LR does duplicate detection?
    Thanks so very much, dj.   Any ideas on how to get LR to ignore these (minor) differences would be hugely helpful.

  • OBIEE 11g Map Visualization Error - basemap is defined in spatial meta-data

    Hi All,
    I have installed OBIEE 11g successfully on my Desktop Machine, deployed the Sample Applications regarding Mapviewer and its working fine. I have seen all the Maps and they are running fine in fact they are editable and i can easily do anything with those Maps but,
    The issue is that when i am going to create a new Report and try to integrate Map on it then it shows an error as display below;
    A basemap is required to render a map. Please ensure that atleast one basemap is defined in the spatial meta-data
    Error Details
    Error Codes: EMGUNIA3
    Location: saw.views.evc.activate, saw.httpserver.processrequest, saw.rpc.server.responder, saw.rpc.server, saw.rpc.server.handleConnection, saw.rpc.server.dispatch, saw.threadpool,
    saw.threadpool, saw.threads
    I have also followed this link ( http://erpthings.blogspot.com/2011/01/obiee-11g-inbuilt-mapping-and-spatial.html ) but it is also stuck on the same error at the end.
    I didn't understand the problem why its giving an error like this while the Sample Application worked fine so, if there is any way to define a basemap in spatial meta-data plz guide me OR
    Is there any way to integrate Map with OBIEE 11g ?
    Cheers,
    Masood.

    This question has been solved!
    Basically you need to ensure the database schema where the data source (Navteq) has been imported must have the privilege "Create Type"
    This comes from the Oracle manual extract as shown below:
    1.4.4.3 Creating MapViewer Array Types, if Necessary
    For each database schema that it connects to, MapViewer checks for the existence of
    the following SQL array types that support array-type binding variables that might
    exist in some predefined themes:
    ■ MV_STRINGLIST
    ■ MV_NUMBERLIST
    ■ MV_DATELIST
    If these types do not exist, MapViewer attempts to create them in the database schema
    associated with the MapViewer data source. However, if the user associated with that
    schema does not have sufficient privileges to create new types, a privileged user must
    create the types by connecting to the data source schema and entering the following
    statements:
    CREATE or REPLACE type MV_STRINGLIST as TABLE of VARCHAR2(1000);
    CREATE or REPLACE type MV_NUMBERLIST as TABLE of NUMBER;
    CREATE or REPLACE type MV_DATELIST as TABLE of DATE;
    Cheers.

  • Problem writing meta data changes in xmp in spite of enabled settings

    Dear Adobe Community
    After struggling with this for two full days and one night, you are my last hope before I give up and migrate to Aperture instead.
    I am having problems with Lightroom 5 writing meta data changes into xmp and including development settings in JPEG, inspite of having ticked all three boxed in catalog settings.
    In spite of having checked all boxes, Lightroom refused to actually perform the actions. I allowed the save action to take a lot longer than the saving indicator showed was needed, but regardless of this no edits made in the photo would be visible outside Lightroom. I also tried unticking and ticking and restarting my compute.
    Therefore, I uninstalled the program and the reinstalled it again (the trial version both times). I added about 5000 images to Lightroom (i.e. referenced). After having made a couple of changes for one photo in development settings, I tried closing the program. However, then this message was then displayed:
    I left the program open and running for about 5-5 hours, then tried closing the program, but the message still came up so I closed the program and restarted the computer. I tried making changes to another photo, saving and then closing and the same message comes up. The program also becomes unresponsive, and of course still no meta data has been saved to the photo, i.e. when opening it outside Lightroom, the edits of the photos is not shown.
    What do do? I would greatly appreciate any insights, since I have now completely hit the wall.
    Oh yes, that´s right:
    What version of Lightroom? Include the minor version number (e.g., Lighroom 4 with the 4.1 update).
    Lightroom 5.3
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    I installed the program two days ago and then for the second time today.
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36
    What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
    JPEG
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    Please see screen dumps above
    What were you doing when the problem occurred?
    Trying to save metadata + trying to open images that it seemed I had saved meta data to
    Has this ever worked before?
    No
    What other software are you running?
    For some time Chrome, Firefox, Itunes. Then I closed all other software.
    Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed?  How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Has this ever worked before?  If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.?  Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs?
    No, the problems have been there all the time.

    Hi Rob
    I think you succeeded in partly convincing me. : ) I think I will go for a non-destrucitve program like LR when I am back in Sweden, but will opt for a destructive one for now.  Unfortuntately, I have an Olypmus- so judging from your comment NX2 might not be for me.

    My old snaps are JPEG, but I recently upgraded to an Olympus e-pl5 and will notw (edited by RC) start shooting RAW.
    Note: I edited your statement: I assume you meant now instead of not.
    If you start shooting raw, then you're gonna need a raw processor, regardless of what the next step in the process will be. And there are none better for this purpose than Lightroom, in my opinion. As has been said, you can export those back to Lightroom as jpeg then delete the raws, if storage is a major issue, or convert to Lossy DNG. Both of those options assume you're willing to adopt a non-destructive workflow, from there on out anyway (not an absolute requirement, but probably makes the most sense). It's generally a bad idea to edit a jpeg then resave it as a jpeg, because quality gets progressively worse every time you do that. Still, it's what I (and everybody else) did for years before Lightroom, and if you want to adopt such a workflow then yeah: you'll need a destructive editor that you like (or as I said, you can continue to use Lightroom in that fashion, by exporting new jpegs and deleting originals - really? that's how you want to go???). Reminder: NX2 works great on jpegs, and so is still very much a candidate in my mind - my biggest reservation in recommending it is uncertainty of it's future (it's kinda in limbo right now).

    There is a plugin which will automatically delete originals upon export, but relying on plugins makes for additional complication too.
    Which plugin is this?
    Exportant (the option is invisible by default, but can be made visible by editing a text config file). To be clear: I do not recommend using Exportant for this purpose until after you've got everything else setup and functioning, and even then it would be worth reconsidering.

    What I do is auto-publish to all consumption destinations after each round of edits, but that takes more space.
    How do you do this?
    Via Publish Services.
    PS - I also use features in 'Publish Service Assistant' and 'Change Manager' plugins (for complete automation), but most people just select publish collections and/or sets and click 'Publish' - if you only have a few collections/services it's convenient enough.

    No - sorry, maybe somebody else does.
