Auto import Metadata

I shot using an eye-fi card. The card autmatically generates a xmp file with geodata in it.
LR auto imports these images and adds lens correction and a copy right tag.
What I can't do is automatically is get LR to read the xmp file and include this in the catalogue. I am having to right click images and select read metadata from file.
There must be a better work flow then this.

Thanks Rob. Here is a more detailed explaination of my workflow.
my Eye-fi card syncs images to either my PC, smart phone or tablet. Each device upload the image to a Dropbox folder.
On the PC, in my Dropbox folder 2 files exist, 1 NEF & 1 xmp.
The xmp file reads (as an example)
<?xpacket begin="" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="XMP Core 4.4.0">
   <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
      <rdf:Description rdf:about=""
            xmlns:exif="http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/">
         <exif:GPSLatitude>51,19.032000N</exif:GPSLatitude>
         <exif:GPSLongitude>0,35.724000W</exif:GPSLongitude>
      </rdf:Description>
   </rdf:RDF>
</x:xmpmeta>
<?xpacket end="r"?>
LR(4.4) is set to auto import from the Dropbox folder using develop & metadata preset.
The develop preset is set just to apply auto lens correction (lens detection is scene in the developing screen).
The metadata is set to add IPCT copyright information only i.e all other boxes left unchecked
I understand there is a chance for LR to auto import too quickly if LR is running when Dropbox syncs as the xmp file may not be present at the same time as the NEF file but I very rarely have LR running when Dropbox syncs.

  • Working with auto Import folders and Bridge

    Hi!
    I'm trying to refine my workflow. My artwork usually comes from PS. These files are 2gig each. I set up an auto import folder, with the meta data I need to go to smart collections. Because these files are so big, I don't want to have dupes everywhere. Is there a way for Lightroom (within the Auto Import Folder settings) so, "ADD" rather than COPY or move the file. If I "Move" the file, it no longer sits with its variations. and COPY  makes a duplicate.
    Thanks.
    I'm trying it now so I may answer my own question, but will Lightroom accept a "shortcut" file (win7) rather than the original 2gb file?
    Update: It doesn't seem Lightroom will be triggered to auto import from a shortcut file. too bad...

    I dont think the Auto Import is the way to go for you here. Rather I would use the synchronize folder function in Lightroom. As you are saving from PS to a specific location all you need to do is make LR aware of that folder (or better yet, a parent folder) and synchronize when you are ready.
    The variants will also be catalogged too.
    As for the metadata addition, that can be accomplished very quickly in Lightroom or directly from within PS using an action.

  • H: not found when insert the card of flash drive for auto import In Lightroom CC

    when i try to auto import Inside Lightroom 6 or CC getting an error "H: not found" as soon as i plug the memory card or any flash drive to the computer. i'm using lightroom CC win 7 64 bit

    Lightroom does reliably write capture time to industry-standard metadata fields in photos.   If you are indeed using the File > Import command a second time to re-import the photos after first importing them into LR, what's likely happening is that you're not telling LR to write the metadata changes back to the photos.  There are two ways to do this:  1) Select all the photos and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File, or 2) Select the option Catalog Settings > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.  
    If this does not fix the issue, then you'll need to provide more detail about the precise steps you're taking, with command names and options.
    direct Lightroom to change each photo file name to match its new capture date
    Stepping back, re-importing the photos back into LR isn't necessary to rename photos with their capture date -- use the Library > Rename Photos command.

  • Auto Importing in Aperture

    I would love to shoot tethered with my Nikon D3 and have images go directly into Aperture.  I realize Aperture has a tethering feature, but my clients have become spoiled by Live View and being able to see small changes on the screen before pressing the button.  So is there any way to shoot with Nikon Camera Control Pro and direct files to a folder where Aperture would automatically import them?  I just read instructions on setting it up for LightRoom w/ auto import, but I don't use Light Room ;-)

    Adding to Frank's spot-on instructions:  I settled on having a dedicated Finder folder on my system drive, and a dedicated Project in Aperture.  This should give you a base to vary to your needs.  The Finder folder is named "To Hot Upload to Aperture". It can be anywhere on your system.  The Project is "_Hot Uploads".  (The underscore forces it to the top of an alpha-sorted list.)  My Sony software retains the setting of which Finder folder to put the images in.  I set the Folder Action to delete the originals.
    I take a picture.  Camera sends image file to Sony software→Sony software puts file in "To Hot Upload to Aperture"→Folder Action forces Aperture to import file into Project "_Hot Uploads".  In use I put the Sony software on one monitor and Aperture on another, with "_Hot Uploads" selected.
    NB:  Because you are importing this way, no metadata presets are applied.
    When the session is over, I move all the Images into a newly created Project (I always put each Shoot in its own Project) and I run "Metadata→Batch Change" to apply my standard metadata preset (copyright and so forth).  That leave both "To Hot Upload to Aperture" and "_Hot Uploads" empty, and ready for the next session.

  • Auto-import Presets

    I searched the forum(s) for this request but didn't find anything that seemed relevant, so here goes (and my apologies if this has been requested before or is already available through some option I missed): I use auto-import all the time -- it's a standard part of my workflow for new images from my cameras, whether tethered or not. To cope with the half dozen or so different scenarios and situations that are repeatedly part of those workflows, I'd like to be able to have a pull-down list of named auto-import presets under the auto-import preferences dialog. This would cover things like location the imported files are moved to, canned metadata to be applied, processing, etc. in named configurations.
    Not a huge deal, but it'd certainly make my life somewhat easier and less error-prone while out in the field....

    I second that. Plus an option just to watch a folder, instead of auto-copy only

  • Auto import missing full Import options

    Setup
    Nikon D2X with LR 1.3 Windows XP Pro sp2
    I am shooting NEF (Raw) with a D2X tethered to a laptop
    Nikon Capture Control drops new images in to a folder
    LR auto import is watching this folder and duly imports the pictures
    adding metadata as it does so.
    The options on the auto import are much more basic than the standard import features.
    I would like to import the NEFs to DNG and backup the NEFs.
    Are there plans to fix/improve this situation.
    Or am I missing something.
    (Apologies if this is a duplicate post I have spend quite some time searching and checking FAQs)
    /Graham

    I don't know if there's any impediment doing it this way shooting tetherered, but it seems a clunky workflow. Why convernt to DNG on import when you want the tethered operation to be as fast as it can be? Why backup images when you don't know what to keep?
    Best import RAW, then after at least one cut ediiting/culling, then convert and backup.

  • Auto import, how to prevent LR from jumping to new pictures

    Hi,
    I would like to use my Nikon D700 together with the WT-4 to send pictures automatically to my laptop on events.
    The pictures appear on the laptop's hard drive on a folder that is watched by LR's auto import feature.
    Then my assistant would be at the laptop printing these pictures for customers to buy.
    However, while testing this I cannot seem to disable Lightroom always jumping back to the latest imported pictures.
    This is very annoying, because my assistant has to display the pictures to the customers, so she would be showing some pictures to a customer, and suddenly when I snap a new shot, the laptop jumps to the new picture and my assistant has to go hunting for that customers pictures again...
    Is there some way to disable this?
    Or am I taking the wrong approach to this?
    I could off course disable the auto-import but in that case my assistant would have to go to the import screen every once in a while, which is also not ideal.
    Thanks for any help!

    I don't know a way to disable this.

  • Changing the language of imported metadata in Indesign

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me with my issue...
    I am running InDesign CS5 Middle Eastern edition on a Mac and would like to import metadata from bridge - the issue is: when I import the info, which includes numbers, it uses Arabic intead of English language. I have already trashed my Indesign preferences and recreated them all set to English. Is there a metadata setting somewhere where you can set the langauge?

    I'm assuming that you're importing an image or a graphic with metadata.
    You'd need to edit the metadata in Adobe Bridge. Select the graphic in InDesign. Control/right-click and choose Graphics > Reveal in Bridge. In Bridge, view the Metadata panel. Likely, the metadata is in the IPTC Core section so open that section. Editable fields are marked with a pencil icon.

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

  • After unarchive a repository, the auto import is not working

    Hi All,
    I've met a problem when I archived a repository and unarchive it using another repository name:
    I can login to it by Console, and Data manager, etc. But when I put a input file to the Ready folder of its port, the file is not processed by the Import Server. On the other hand, all the other repositories on that server remain fine and the auto-import is normal.
    Could any one tell me if there is any other Config shold be done to make the import work?
    PS: still the 5.5 version, not 7.1.

    Hi Angela,
    If you are using any password for Admin user then same needs to be mentioned in MDIS.ini file. Check the below steps
    1. Open MDIS.ini file located in <MDM Insallation directory>/Import Server
    2. Navigate to your repository section
    3. Remove the character 'E' from the entry PasswordE
    4. Write the password of Admin user i.e. Password = abc
    5. Restart the Import Server once and check the same password entry, it should get converted to PasswordE and the value should be some characters.
    6. Now check the Auto Import

  • Error while Importing Metadata into DAC Repository

    Hi,
    After the successful first time login into DAC and creating repository, when I try to import metadata into DAC repository.
    DAC > Tools > DAC Repository Management > Import
    I don't see any Applications listed under "Application List"
    Can anybody suggest the troubleshooting steps for this?
    Regards,
    Jitendra

    If this is the first time that you are importing make sure that the directory you are importing from is like this -
    C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\export
    If this is not the first time then
    Can you go inside the following directory
    C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\log
    and check for export.log - Look for Applications Section, if you have any application then you had exported it and you should see it under the applications tab when importing otherwise you don't !!Since its an xml file that is generated i believe you have not exported by selecting the applications yo want and that is your problem.
    Hope this helps !!
    Cheers,

    Hi everyone,
    A few days ago I installed the Administration and Clients OBIEE11g tools on my machine. To do so follow these steps:
    - Install Weblogic Server 10.3.3
    - Install OBIEE 11g using 'Software Only'.
    I selected this installation because BI Server is installed on a Linux server.
    In the machine on which I installed previously existed the following products:
    - Oracle Client 10.2
    - Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.2
    When trying to import Metadata into the repository, using Administrative tool in OBI 11g the import fails with both, ODBC and OCI drivers. Always the same error appears: “The connection has failed.”
    I created the tnsnames.ora file (which points to the database) in the path [Middleware Home] \ OracleBI1 \ network \ admin.
    I tried to import metadata for replacing the DSN connection string. For this I have followed this syntax: (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = [ip_address]) (PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = [db_name ]))). But it does not import metadata. Always the same error appears: 'The connection has failed. "
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I stop iMovie 11 auto importing from external HD?

    Okay, I'm going crazy. I, the intrepid Googler, have so far been unable to find the answer to this question. Please somebody help me!
    I have hundreds of video clips stored on an external hard drive. However, when I crank it up, iMovie exceptionally irritatingly starts auto-importing every single clip back onto my MacBook's hard drive. No! No! NOOOO! That's NOT what I want! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I only want to import ONE video of MY choice at a time to edit and then save it back to the external drive, I don't have enough ROOM for ALL of them on the internal drive, you crazy machine!!!!
    So. I go into iMovie preferences, where I'd expect to see an option for turning off auto import. Nope. I cannot see anything there. Do I have menu blindness? Am I losing my mind?
    Then I Google 'how to stop iMovie 11 from auto-importing from external hard drive and find nothing. Am I alone in this? Surely not. Am I being a dunce? Possibly.
    Advice, anyone?

    Okay. Please ignore the above. I was being a dunce. Today, it appears not to be doing it any more. Bizarre. LOL!
