"Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" Not Working for DNG Files

Hello,
I am needing to update DNG/JPG file pairs with keywords that I add  in lightroom.  The following is the problem that I am encountering. 
When the image consists of only a JPEG file (ie. I had my DSLR only snap a jpeg and not an associated DNG), and I add one or more keywords to the file in Lightroom, these are written / saved immediately in Lightroom and are visible immediately in the 'tags' column for that image in windows explorer.  Very useful and important functionality for my workflow.
However, when the image consists of both a JPEG and a sister DNG (i.e.,snapped simultaneously by my DSLR), and I try to add keywords to these (treated at this point as a single image by lightroom) then Lightroom does not record the keywords into either of the two files and consequently no tags are visible in windows explorer.  I have confirmed this apparent problem with a seperate image metadata utility software, and am hoping that it's just something simple that I am missing.
Also "Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" is selected and I have also  tried manually both: "right click," "metadata," "write metadata to file;"  and  "right click" "update DNG preview and metadata" and the problem  persists.
Hopefully someone has encountered something similar and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

@Eric: hitting cntrl+s works but can be tedeous on large galleries. I've been doing this but it can be a pain.
@Jeannine: different topic than this thread but to answer anyways... Lightroom automatically saves all changes into your catalogue. You never need to dave your changes (here's the kicker though) as long as you do not move the original file. If you
move the file than lightroom won't know that it's the same image as the one you've edited. Once you are done editing your image you will need to "export" the image to a new file (you don't wan to overwrite the original). If you don't export than only lightroom will have your edits. Lightroom is "non-destructive" Which means that it doesn't touch your original photo. Lightroom keeps a text file containing the instructions on what you did to make the edited version. Since your changes are just text inatryxtions you have to "export" the image to get your final image in a version you can put online, print, etc. But to answer your original question, I think you prob moves the original image. If not, could you give us more info?

  • "Automatically Write Changes into XMP" Not Saving XMP Files

    I tried finding some other discussions on this but I couldn't seem to find anything...
    I recently checked the "Automatically Write Changes into XMP" setting in my "Catalog Settings". However, as I continue to add pictures to my library and make changes, I do *not* see the XMP files being written to the location of the pictures (Nikon NEF files located on my hard-drive). In fact, I can't find the XMP files anywhere. If I want to output the XMP files I have to do a Ctrl + S (Photo --> Save Metadata to File).
    I did notice that when I unchecked the setting and re-checked it, *some* of the XMP files showed up. However, in my import of 24 photos, only 14 had XMP files. I had to manually "Save Metadata to File" to get the XMP sidecar files to show.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is something not working right? I'm a bit confused. I assumed it would automatically export the sidecar files.
    How often should it be outputting XMP sidecards? If I import a new image should the XMP sidecar file be created? Or is it created the first time I change an original picture?
    I am using Adobe Lightroom 2.0 (Camera Raw 4.5) on a Mac OS X 10.5.5.

  • Import is not working for DNG files

    I have imported couple hundreds DNG files from Lightroom into Aperture and instead of full file I've got message that they are unsupported files with very small pixel size like 350x171. The file size in metadata is real size but in preview I've got a message about ansupported file format!?

    There are quite a few different settings that you can choose from when converting a RAW file to a DNG. Without knowing what settings you set up in LightRoom there's no way to tell why your images aren't importing properly.
    Roughly speaking, a linear DNG is one where the first part of the RAW conversion process (called debayerising or demosaicing) has already been done by Adobe.

  • Automatically write changes to XMP crashes Lightroom!

    Everytime I turn on the option "automatically write changes to XMP" my processor load rises to 100%. So far so understandable. LR is trying to update all of my 40000 images with xmp data. We've already discussed that there is no progress-bar indicating this and that this can be a real issue for people who don't know.
    So I turn on the checkbox in the evening and let my pc write all xmps over night, but unfortunately every morning I look at it, lightroom has closed or crashed. It seems not to be possible to complete this task anyway.
    Unfortunately writing to XMP seems to have another issue: LR does not notice, witch xmp have already been written, so it writes everything again and again, when I start it manually.
    Could anyone of the LR-Team issue a statement and explain how this is meant to work and why LR constantly crashes on automatical export?
    Thank you in advance.

    I feel that though LR is a very good product in many aspects, they have seriously failed in other aspects. I think what is mentioned here is one of the worse problems. How should we trust Adobe to take care of our image library when they behaves like this? They must surely know that their product will be used by proffesionals that have thousands if files in their library.
    I think it is very arrogant of them to update all my photos with XMP-information even though I didn't ask for it. I check the "automatically write CHANGES to XMP", actually believing that this is what LR is going to do, but instead it updates all my photos with some useless information that are of course already in the files. This is NOT a good thing to do. I will not trust Adobe after this, because I have no way of knowing what they will do to my library.
    So, now, after installing LR, my partial backup suddenly discovered 50GB of pictures that was modified and needed backup! F... them!

  • Encode Video Files not working for avi files

    Hi,
    I've been trying to convert some .avi files to apple format using Lion's native 'Encode video files' function however keep getting a 'avconvert: source file not found for source file://fileparthhere avconvert: failed to create an export session. Check setup
    I can't work out why as this has worked before in Lion and works fine for other video formats. The only thing I've done is remove Final Cut Express HD and can't add it again as I don't own it anymore
    Suggestions? Is there a encoder to make this work or should it work anyway?
    Thanks

    If you click Yes the project file will be updated when you save it. That has nothing to do with the media.
    Are the Lesson and Media folders still in the Book Files folder (or whatever it's called)?
    Select one of the clips in the browser and use Edit>Item Properties. One of the first lines is Source. That gives you the file path for where your media is supposed to be located. What does it say? If nothing is there, use the File>Reconnect function and point the application to where the media is located.

  • Oracle text search not working for  WSDL files

    I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
    I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
    Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
    Query details
    ===========
    create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
    select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
    Thanks a lot,
    Santhi

    Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
    Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
    Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

  • ON CHANGE OF is not working for the below case

    Hi,
      I had a problem with ON CHANGE OF as below
    select * from vbap into gt_vbap where vbeln in s_vbeln.
    loop at gt_vbap into ls_vbap where posnr ne '00010'.
       on change of posnr.
       endon.
    endloop.
    in gt_vbap i have only items 10 & 20 for a Sales Order No so in loop on change of is not triggering because remain line item 
    is only 20.
    can anyone explain me how to solve it

    You need not use ON CHANGE OF....
    Try using this code:
    SORT gt_vbap by posnr.
    Get the index of record
    READ TABLE gt_vbap into ls_vbap with key posnr = '00010'
                 transporting no fields binary search.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
      l_index = sy-index.
    Read from next line
    add 1 to l_index.
    Loop at internal table from next line after posnr = '00010'....
    loop at gt_vbap into ls_vbap from l_index.
    Write your logic in this loop
    endloop.
    endif.

  • Transaction variant to disallow change in FB02 not working for FBL5N / FB09

    Hi SAPtechies,
    I have created a transaction variant to disallow change in all fields other than Text (BSEG-SGTXT), and activated it for standard transaction FB02.
    This works well when FI document is changed via transaction FB02, but fails when the same document is changed via FBL5N / FB09.
    The screen is same for FB02 & FBL5N:
    Program (screen)     SAPMF05L
    Screen number        301
    Program (GUI)        SAPMF05L
    I have already checked for enhancement in PBO INCLUDE MF05LO00, but there was no success.
    Can anyone suggest me another methadology to greyout or make FB02 fields uneditable, with same functionality also working for FBL5N/FB09?

    Hi ,
    I could achieve  a way to disallow editing in FB02 item level fields using substitution & custom exit.
    Additional requirement was that I want to assign authorization for particular users who can change all fields.
    Any suggestions on it?
    Our Basis team has created new role & assigned this role for FB02.
    But this role has got many technical authorization objects.
    Below check is not working:
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TCODE'
               ID 'TCD' FIELD sy-tcode.
    Thanks...Tanaya

  • "Open With"  CS3 not working for JPEG file

    Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
    I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
    ...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
    ..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
    The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
    I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    After a long search I found the answer:
    To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
    Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
    Click the file Types Tab.
    Wait for the list of file types to populate.
    Single click on the jpeg file type.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Highlight open and click the edit button.
    Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
    A few OK's and you are done.
    AND ANOTHER THING .........
    After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
    Start / My Computer
    Click Tools at the top of the screen.
    Click folder options .... then the file types tab
    Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
    Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
    A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
    A couple of OKs and you are done

  • File.execute() not working for bat file

    Dear all,
    The purpose of my function copyToWinClipboard (text) is to get a string directly into the Windows Clipboard. The purpose is to allow the user of my project just to paste into the open-dialog of the application EndNote. I’m not certain whether the FM clipboard (supported by the copy/cut/paste methods for Doc) really fills into the Windows Clipboard also.
    In the PhotoShop script forum I found the idea how to do this.
    #target framemaker
    // note the blank in the path
    copyToWinClipboard ("E:\\_DDDprojects\\FM+EN escript\\FM-11-testfiles\\BibFM-collected.rtf");
    function copyToWinClipboard (text) {
      var theCmd, clipFile = new File(Folder.temp + "\\ClipBoardW.bat");
      clipFile.open('w');
    //  theCmd = "echo \"" + text + "\" | clip"; // this doesn’t help either
      theCmd = "echo " + text + " | clip";
      clipFile.writeln (theCmd);
      clipFile.close ();
      clipFile.execute ();
    Running this script provides a short flicker (the command prompt), but the clipboard does not contain the expected string. However, when double clicking on the generated I:\!_temp\ClipBoardW.bat the clipboard is filled correctly.
    IMHO the execute method does not work correctly for bat files. In another area of my project-script i run an exe file with this method correctly.

    Hi Klaus,
    sorry for my late response.
    execute definitely works witch batch-files
    Here's a "batch" - example you can test.
    There are two methods to prevent window from closing:
    "|more" - kind of pagebreak
    "pause"
    var oTemp = app.UserSettingsDir + "\\tmp";
        var MyDosCommand = "ipconfig.exe /a|more";
        var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
        if (!oTemp.exists)
            var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
            var lFehler = MyPath.create();
        oTemp = oTemp + "\\" +"nw.bat";
        var MyFile = new File (oTemp);
             MyFile.open ('w');
               if (MyFile.error > "")
                    alert("ERROR");
            MyFile.writeln(MyDosCommand);
            MyFile.writeln("pause");
            MyFile.close();
            MyFile.execute();

  • I cannot get my thunderbird box to work since upgrade. addons not working for larger files

    When I try to use box for larger attachments ,it is not working and just keeps trying to load . I have checked my box account and spoken to there tech and he said it is not on their end ?

    I don't have any direct experience with D-Link equipment, but I may be able to provide some general advice. See if you can use a Web browser to connect to the D-Link's configuration screen. This probably involves visiting a URL such as http://www.192.168.0.1 . If you haven't changed the sign-on parameters, a quick Google search should find them for you.
    Once there, note as many configuration details as you can find. You'll need those to configure your Time Capsule.
    Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule.
    One last thing: It's quite possible that the Verizon network will have locked onto the "MAC" address of your D-Link router. Something needs to be done to reset this. If there's a separate box at your house that came with the FIOS equipment that's "upstream" from the D-Link router, I'd cycle power on it to see if that does the job. Otherwise you'll probably need to call Verizon to ask them to reset things once your Time Capsule is installed in place of the D-Link router.

  • Quick look not working for office files from mail

    I installed the new Microsoft Powerpoint on my ipad to check it out.  I didn't really like it so I uninstalled it.  Now when I am in mail and try to view a Powerpoint presention (or any other office file), quick look opens with just the name and size of the file rather than letting me view the file.  I am assuming installing Powerpoint somehow disabled Quick View for those files.  How do I fix this?  I really need to be able to read office files from Mail on my ipad!!

    It sounds like you may have 2 different programs that support quicklook differently. I suspect the .doc files are different formats that are using one or the other application.
    A quick test - select a file with the full preview. Get info on it in the Finder (File > Get Info) see what application it is set to open with by default. I suspect this will be TextEdit or MS Word. Compare this to a file that has no preview in quicklook. Change over the default application to the other application and see if the preview appears.
    My understanding is that the software has to be aware of quick look to parse the document and create the preview. It could be that one of the softwares needs an update, or is too old to support quicklook.
    you should be able to see the version number by opening the application and using the About menu under the Application menu. Post them here if the above doesn't work.
    You may also compare the 'Kind' in the info dialog, it could be that they are slightly different formats. Opening and saving may generate the previews (keep the originals if you do this!)
