Auto Sync metadata within a stack?

Is there a setting to enable pictures in the same stack to auto sync metadata?  Currently, if you select pictures in grid view, it will only select the top picture.  So after I have updated keyword, etc, I must manually expand each stack and update the other pictures in that stack.  Is there an easier way?

No, by design, Lr will only apply metadata or develop settings to the top image in a Collapsed Stack. So, the only way is to apply metadata to expanded stack.

  • No Metadata Auto Sync in Lightroom 3

    I was recently watching a tutorial on Lightroom 3 and it showed that you could auto sync metadata in the Library module. I cannot get this feature to work on my version of Lightroom. I am using a mac with OS 10.6.7. I have "Enable Auto Sync" checked under the "Metadata" menu, but still no little toggle box to toggle Sync Metadata and Auto Sync is available.

    I've tried but no "metadata sync" on the button.
    (picture in earlier answer is in grid view.)
    Mystery ?
    edit: On my desktop I see no switch and "Sync Metadata" .
    on my laptop I  don't see it., only Auto Sync  and Sync  on the left button, right button says Sync Settings in grid and loupe view with the switch.
    Both LR3.4.1 64bit version windows 7.
    How come ?

  • Lightroom 4.4 Metadata Auto Sync switch missing from Sync Button.

    I am using Lightroom 4.4 on a 2013 Macbook Air OS 10.8.4.
    I cannot see the Switch enables auto sync on the Metadata sync button. Its currently visible on another machine a MacPro with Lightroom v4.3. I find this useful to be bale quickly enable and disable the syncing of metadata. I'd be grateful if somewhere could tell me if this has been dropped in v4.4 or have I missed a prefs setting somewhere? MAny thanks

    It depends on how the "Metadata Menu>Show Metadata for Target Photo Only" option is set. If it's enabled, the buttons are as you show them, with the little switch to the left of the "Sync" button which would enable "Auto Sync" if clicked (but only possible with multiple photos selected).
    However, if that option is unchecked, the button changes and becomes like this:
    No switch needed in that situation, the button lights up whenever multiple images are selected.

  • Programmatically force Lightroom to sync metadata

    I want to automatically accomplish "Sync metadata" for a photo from within the Lightroom SDK (that is, programmatically).  Is this possible?

    Saving metadata via the photo:saveMetadata method works in all modules, just note:
    * It's slow as molasses if you have to do a bunch.
    * it only initiates saving, i.e. it returns before it's saved, so if you want to assure it's saved before you act, you need to check it...
    One might think since it's only initiating a save and returning before saved, it would be fast - but one would think wrong...
    Download any of my plugins and look at Catalog.lua in Framework/Catalog folder and you'll see what I did - there are two methods:
    * saveMetadata (batch mode)
    * savePhotoMetadata ( single photo ).
    Disclaimer: save-metadata function is not only undocumented, but it doesn't exist in Lr4 - so ya know..

  • Podcasts and Songs missing when Auto Sync'd

    I have two HUGE problems...
    When I auto sync. Itunes deletes EVERYTHING off of my ipod and starts anew. This happens even after a successful auto sync.... If it was 5 or 10GB not that big of a deal but I'm looking at 35GB.. Which is A REALLY REALLY LONG TIME TO SYNC even with Firewire...
    Podcasts don't show up as podcasts.... They show up under the genre of podcast BUT not under the Podcast menu. There was mention that podcasts that are NOT from iTMS won't appear in this list. BUT they are subscribed that way...
    Now I've reset, restored, reinstalled, EVERYTHING (outside of an OS restore)
    Now the strange thing is that this problem does NOT exist when I manually manage the songs on my ipod...
    This is my 3rd iPod 4G the others have all died (one within 2 weeks)... I'm getting into a Love HATE relationship with iTunes and the iPod.

    Okay, that is the latest iOS. As far as shortcuts are concerned, they should be available. Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Shortcuts. You should find the settings and area to enter new ones there. The area to set what numbers to receive calls from in DND mode are in Settings, Notifications, Do Not Disturb, and then then Allow Calls From.
    Does this help?

  • Exact meaning of IL offset within a stack trace.

    I understand that when an exception is thrown (and there's no PDB around) the stack trace exposes the IL offset of where the exception arose (in the lowest frame).
    I'm not very clear though on what this means, is it the IL offset of IL operation that thew the exception or is it the IL Offset of the previously executed IL operation or what?
    I'm examining ILDASM dumps of assemblies and the IL offset sometimes doesn't quite make sense.
    e.g. one null reference exception reports an offset IL_0063 in the stack frame, but that is just an operation br.s
    Any help on exactly how the system determines the IL offset when it reports the stack trace, greatly appreciated.
    Thx

    Regardless of whether or not there is a PDB, managed code is able to provide a full trace with method names for the managed portion of the stack due to the metadata within the assembly. Where are you getting the offset? The offset that visual studio provides
    is the native offset within the jitted native method rather than the IL offset within its managed counterpart (or at least it was in VS2010, I haven't verified it since then).
    My understanding is that, when provided, the IL offset is simply mapped from the native offset using a table generated at JIT time (which may be an approximation due to optimizations). For the leaf native-frame, the native offset is where the exception was
    thrown while non-leaf native frames use the return address from the stack which may make it look like the exception was thrown by the instruction following the one where the exception actually happened.

  • Genre sort in Browser, auto sync, sort order

    I just updated to 3.1.1 and iTunes 9.0. Now Genre is missing in the browser. How can I get it back? Also none of my playlist sync in auto. I have to manually manage it. I rarely use it for music, just for listening to stories and podcasts, so it's important to have them in the correct order for listening, i.e. chapters. Now the playlist doesn't show up on the itouch sorted correctly.
    1. Doesn't have Genre in Browser. 2. Doesn't auto sync. 3. Sort order is messed up between iTunes and iTouch. 4. Is it caused by 3.1.1 or iTunes 9.0? Does anyone know how to fix these issues? I don't have an old download of iTunes 8 to uninstall 9 and reinstall 8. iTouch 3.1.1 can't be uninstalled. Shadow

    1. Doesn't have Genre in Browser.
    iTunes 9 changed the browser to a column on the left side (by default), but you can go back to how it was on top, see the View/Column Browser menu. You can have multiple filters (Artist, Album, Composer, etc.) either as a column on the left, or across the top.
    shadow1953 wrote:
    2. Doesn't auto sync.
    You have to be doing something wrong since auto-sync does work. Make sure your iPod is in auto-sync mode -- if you change the sync mode, make sure you click the "Apply" button -- if you don't, it won't change. If you're not syncing your entire library, then make sure that you've selected the playlists you want loaded onto the Touch.
    shadow1953 wrote:
    3. Sort order is messed up between iTunes and iTouch.
    Are you referring to the sort order within a playlist, or the sort order of all your playlist names? I know that the playlist name sorting has changed (again) such that punctuaion comes first, then letters, then numbers. If you're referring to the sort order of the items within a playlist, then it may be a bug -- there are reports of problems with the sorting of podcasts within playlists, so maybe the same is true for books?

    Not sure, could be either.

    You can get down-rev versions of iTunes at sites like filehippo (there are others). Keep in mind though that your "iTunes Library.itl" file was changed with iTunes 9 and is not backward-compatible. You'll have to look for the old .itl file in your "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder (check the date of these .itl files). If you fid the .itl file from iTunes 8, just replace the current one and then uninstall iTunes as well as "Apple Mobile Device Services" and Quicktime, then install iTunes 8.
    You can go back to a prior OS version on your Touch if you have the native file (you would if you previously did a firmware update, it stays on your computer). If you updated to 3.0 then you can go back to it by holding the SHIFT key as you click the Restore button (use the OPT key on a Mac) and then select the 3.0 version. You can't go back to 2.x in this manner, but there is a different way to go back to 2.x if you ever want to (won't go into that here).

  • Enable Auto Sync not working in Version 5.3

    I need to flag only the active image in Survey mode. When I flag an image all selected images are flagged regardless of whether Enable auto sync is enabled or disabled (Library) Metadata>Enable Auto sync.
    Strangely the opposite happens in the develop module. Only the active image is adjusted regardless of whether Enable auto sync is enabled or disabled (Develop) Settings>Enable Auto sync.
    I am running windows 7 Home premium. Exactly the same thing happens on my Laptop which is Windows 7 Professional.
    It is astonishing that there are no other references to this problem in LR5 but I can't see why it should be my installation...

    The same problem on my ipad2 in ios 5.0.1
    1. with smart cover
       - set autobrightness on and bright level  half ,  no password
       - close smart cover and open cover
       - ipad2 screen is very dark and does not change until power off & on
    2. No smart cover
      - does not change bright in any places(dark room, sunlight, living room etc)
    But no battery problem on my ipad2

  • TOC Auto-Sync and Custom Buttons

    I have two CHM files.
    One contains English content, the other has French content.  We're okay with having to change Windows display language to French in order to see the localized interface.  It would be great to force it to French without having to do that, but it's better than nothing.
    I have a handy dandy little javascript in my master page to flip between topics in the two CHM files.  This is where my problems begin.
    My flipping back and forth works great but the TOC does not auto-sync despite me having that checkbox enabled on the windows in both projects.
    Then I added a Custom Button in each project (let's call it Cat in English and Chat in French) that points to a Redirect Topic (using the meta refresh method) to launch a Remote Topic.  The redirection works great but again, the TOC does not auto-sync.
    Getting back to my English/French setup... let's say I'm in the English project CHM, I change my display language to French, all of the interface buttons change to French except my Custom Button which is still "Cat".  From what I've read, I'm guessing there's no way around this?  I'd rather not have to put "Cat/Chat" for the Custom Button text or leave it as is where it will stick out like a sore thumb unless my display language always matches my language content.
    Any suggestions or am I stuck with what I have?

    You have two different CHM files, right? One in English and one in French.
    Correct... one English, one French.
    Yay! I understood!
    I'm assuming your JavaScript allows displaying the matching topic from the other language? If so, isn't the matching topic simply replacing the topic that was there before? Here's where it gets real fuzzy. The TOC should already be synced to the topic. Are you saying it loses focus or something?
    My javascript determines the matching topic from the other CHM and changes the window location to the other topic.  If I'm in the English help, on an English topic and click my French link, the link opens the corresponding French topic but my TOC never changes to the French TOC - it's still showing the English one.
    Okay, so that's not really a synchronization issue. In my view, synchronization means expanding and highlighting the page in the TOC so the user may see where they were.
    If there are two projects, one in English and one in French, each project would have its own Custom Button definition, right? So why not enter Chat in the French project?
    I would have Chat in the French project for the Custom Button... the confusion would be if I open the French CHM while my Windows display language is English or change my Windows display language to French and open the English CHM.  In those scenarios, the interface buttons will be correct but the Custom Button text will match the content language rather than the interface language - that's when it will look wrong.
    Gotcha.
    Personally, assuming I'm correctly understanding this setup, I would think you are somewhat asking for trouble if you allow a click within a topic to change the language. I would think it to be a better solution just to keep the user inside the same help file. Choose the language at the beginning if you like, but remain in that language until the file is closed.
    Ah, but the end users want on-the-fly translation by topic without having to open the other CHM and find the topic all over again.  This is CSH, so the user may very well have gotten directly to a topic and would like to see the other language immediately.  Essentially, it should be as though the user closed the current CHM, opened the other CHM and located the exact same topic - instantaneously
    I'm thinking that perhaps a possible answer would involve using an HTML Help Shortcut control to launch a new instance of the viewer. Open the CHM for the correct language and display the relevant topic. What I think you will have issues with here is that the CHM viewer adapts to the language of the operating system I believe. So I'm not sure the TOC will know how to dynamically interpret you want French or English. Maybe it will based on the language choice in RoboHelp. But I'd be surprised if it worked that way.
    Hopefully Pete Lees will see this thread and pop in to offer some other insight.

  • Auto Sync - Invokes synchronization

    Hi All,
    I am developing an application that would have AutoSync publication items in it. I was able to make out the setup of these properties of the publication items from the documentation of Oracle Lite.
    I was successfully able to setup the Autosync publication and any record commit on the device was able to be propagated to the server as soon as the record is committed.
    What I also could infer from the document is, the same way any record commit on the server and after MGP Compose phase, the records are synchronized to the client.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12095_01/doc.10302/e12090/sync.htm#BCGJDCCD
    But I could not get this happening. The records after they are modified are in the Out Queue, but donot get to the device until a normal manual sync or autosync of that table occurs from the device. Else the records are just there in the Out Queue and are not sent to the device. What I expect from the statements in the document is, after there are records in the Out Queue greater than the threshold value, the records should get synchronized to the client without the client having to initiate any synchronization.
    If anyone had worked with this, could you please help me out on this.
    TIA, Aravind

    I used the MDK to configure the auto sync settings. I used the Mobile Database Workbench for this.
    I had set the autosync rules at the publication level, as to "Synchronize if the out queue contains 1 or more modified records ". I was able to see the setting in the Mobile Manager screens also.
    Since I had set up the rule only for the server side, the autosync agent does not show the last sync status. I had synchronized many times after setting up this rule and there are also extra metadata tables created on the device after this synchronization.

  • Sync metadata to multiple files - how does that work?

    Frustrating.  In Library Module of LR4.4 under Vista 32, I have corrected a "Capture Time" of a single jpg Photo via the "Edit Capture Time" dialog.  The new date correctly shows up in the "Date Time Original" EXIF field of the Metadata panel on the right.
    Now, I want to sync that date to other jpgs which all come with incorrect "Date Time Original" - so, I highlight the above photo, mark the other ones to less light grey, press "Sync Metadata".  THe dialog of  "Sync Metadata" appears, showing the new date under "ICPT image" as "date created" - so far so good.  I mark that field, and press the ok button and the sync runs.  After that, no change is shown to the respective field of any of the photos metadata fields to be sync'd, no sync has actually happened, and even the "Save Metadata to file" command does cure this situation.
    Using the command with a single target file instead of multiple ones does not help either.
    What does help?
    Why can't I update a set of superold pictures to their correct "date created" date via Metadata sync? This Metadata sync does not sync.
    thanks for comments

    Well, of course, one can always take the escape route to software that works. - 
    However, IF Adobe advertises "Metadata sync" in a software licensed for money, THEN this function should work. Am I right or am I right?
    I found, that particularly the one single Metadata field "Capture time" can be set for a multitude of images (selected before using this command from the pulldown menue) - which helped for my problem.  But what about other Metadata fields, if the "Sync Metadata" function does not work as intended?  No word in the documentation such as "there is a function "Sync Metadata" but please do not expect ANY function at all when using it".
    Using a freeware such as ExifMeta to get arund a "non-function" is not the purpose of using a software such as Lightroom - please understand.

  • Is there a way to auto sync playlists while manually managing your music?

    I used to use WMP11 before I bought an iPod and used iTunes, and in that I was able to auto sync playlists to my Samsung dap, as well as being able to manually drag tracks/albums to it.
    Since using iTunes, I have found it is not as accessible in this regard. Of course, you can opt to manually manage your music, but if you do this, it does not auto sync any info. This means that if I drag a playlist to my iPod and alter it at a later stage by adding more tracks, it won't alter it on the iPod unless I manually replace it with the amended one. It also means that any ratings that I set on my iPod do NOT get transfered to the tracks in iTunes when connected.
    What I have done is set a playlist called 'iPod Tracks' in iTunes, and have dragged any extra albums to my iPod using that, as well as the smart playlist 'Top Tracks'. But the disadvantage of this is, if I drag a few songs from an album into my 'iPod Tracks' playlist, then later decide I want the whole album and drag that over, I end up with two of the same tracks in the playlist, which makes it look very untidy (although I am aware only one of each track will be on the iPod) so it is not ideal.
    Surely there must be a way to auto sync playlists so that when you amend them in iTunes it does so on the iPod too, as well as manually drag over any extra tracks/albums you want without having a messy playlist work-around like I have done.
    Any help/ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no way to sync content back to itunes. As you are aware there are a couple of unsupported ways to recover your content, you will need to decide if your content is valuable enough to go down this route.
    If so and you are not comfortable with the procedures, I suggest taking the unit to a data recovery specialist with mac experience.

  • My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

    But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
    P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • How can I stop apps from auto-syncing on one of my computers...?

    Hi all
    I have an ipad 2 that I sync to my MacBook Pro at home. I also have a few other computers on the same iTunes Store account. One of which is my work iMac 27inch (Lion and iTunes 10.5.2). Every morning when I turn on iTunes it trys to download the apps that I have downloaded from the appstore on my iPad. Some of these are quite big and I certainly dont need them on my work computer. I have turned off auto-syncing of everything on the iMac and iPad but every morning I have to manually go to the Downloads on the sidebar and pause/delete the active downloads. Even if I delete them they reappear the next time I open iTunes. Very annoying...??? Any ideas...???
    Richie

    Hah.... That was quick...! Seems to have worked too. Very easy. Annoyed with myself that I didnt see that.
    Thanks a million

  • Did restore, pc froze, rebooted, auto-synced to another account-needed to "setup as new" - how to get contacts back?!

    okay...2 days ago the iPhone 4 vibrated for a good 45 min. did a hard reboot on the phone, stopped vibrating, locked on call screen, can't answer or recieve calls. Talked to a tech support last night. Was told to do a restore, saved all of what we could beforehand and after it was done with restoring to click on "Setup as new" opt. I did so, my pc froze while it was syncing the apps through iTunes so I had to reboot. Without realizing I didn't unplug the phone it auto-Synced into another iTunes account and contacts, etc. I NEED the previous contacts that were saved last night on this phone! How do I back to "set up as new"? or get those contacts back?!

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
    More details here >  iOS: Syncing with iTunes
