Can you automatically embed Exif data in DNG files LR4

For years I have been using Bridge and ACR for my raw workflow. I use only DNG files and have the database turned off so the EXIF data is embedded right into the original DNG file. This means my files are 100% portable without and sidecar.
Can I work with lightroom 4 without having a database? OR can I assure that each DNG file has all it's setting automatically embedded as it does in Bridge?
Thanks,
Tom

In the catalog settings, metadata tab, there is an option to automatically write to XMP.  That should do what you want.  Since there is no sidecar file with the DNG file exif data will be written to the file.

  • How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods

    How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods ????????????

    RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
    If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
    1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
    2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
    If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
    If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working 
    day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
    Another possibility:
    Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

  • Can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

    can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

    Yes, go to: Apple / System Preferences / User Groups / Login Items and add the Application to the list of things automatically set to start at login.
    However, you should limit it to those that you need or use, because adding a lot will needlessly slow down your startup time and use more RAM.

  • Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces'

    Hi all,
    I know that I can delete anchor points but I was wondering if there is a shortcut to do it on a larger scale.
    Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces' the image, only on the parts obviously that you cover with the new one.
    Thank you all

    Hi,
    I'm using CS6, and I have a tree vector image, and I am trying to put names on top, but when I do this to keep it clean with no anchor points (as my other software cant read it with all the points in it) I have to manually delete each one but it deletes the whole path and I then end up with a tree, names on top, and a big gappy circle around the names.
    So really, I wanted to add the names on top, and have that delete all anchors underneath .
    Does this make sense? :S

  • How/where can you change the delimiters within the output file -Urgent Pls!

    Hello Experts,
    When Exporting data through EAS, how/where can you change the delimiters within the output file (ie. space delimited vs tab delimited vs custom)
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sonu

    This is where I will be shot down in flames but at least in 7.x I am unaware of any configuration option that allows you to export in anything other than space delimited.
    I guess you could write a shell/perl script that could change this outside of Essbase

  • Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

    Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

    Hi there
    I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level?

    Hi,
    I have some data that I want to cleanse and transform. I don't want to cleanse it after i populate the external table, I want to get done with it at flat file level or while populating the external table. Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level through Oracle or OWB 11.2? Is it possible to run a conditional load (i.e. having a where clause or if-else-then) for an external table? Can we call oracle functions for an external table at the time of creation?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ann.

    Hi Oleg,
    Thanks a lot for the clarification. :)
    So is there a way that I can clease the data within the text file through Oracle or OWB? I have datatype mismatches in the data and most of my data is getting rejected because of that. The way I can think of, for solving this problem, is to create the external table with all fields with datatype varchar and then cleansing the data. But it doesn't seem very effecient plus it will get very complicated because I have almost 80-90 fields.
    Any help?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ann.

  • Can you convert a Windows Quickbooks Pro 2011 file to an Ibank file?

    does anyone know if you can you convert a Windows Quickbooks Pro 2011 file to an Ibank file?

    I can't answer for Internet Explorer but you should be able to export Bookmarks from FireFox. If you can't export from IE you may be able to import from EI to FireFox first.
    In FireFox, menu BookMarks>Organize Bookmarks, then in the pane which opens, menu File>Export (that's how it works on Linux so Windows should be broadly similar). The result should be an html file.
    You may be able to import this into Safari on your Mac; certainly you should be able to import it into FireFox and perhaps from there to Safari if necessary.

  • Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup

    Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

    You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

  • Nike+ Sensor & Can't automatically send Workout Data

    Hi,
    On my old ipod touch I had it set up to automatically go to Nike and update my workouts.  Now I'm using a new ipod touch and iTunes Help tells me to :
    a) complete a workout -- check
    b) connect my ipod to my computer -- check
    c) when device appears in iTunes select it and click Nike + iPode button -- check
    d) Select "Automatically send workout data to Nike+." -- NOT A CHOICE I CAN MAKE -- I CAN'T FIND THIS CHOICE !!
    Has anyone else had this trouble and what's the solution?
    I am using the latest software on both the computer & iPod and their is an unsynched workout on my ipod touch.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmmm, sounds weird. If someone else has experienced this maybe they will jump in here, but if not, you can always call Nike+. Surprisingly they answer their phone quite quickly.
    Anyway, here's my shot at it:
    I will assume you have downloaded the Nano updater ( http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ ).
    I would eject and disconnect the Nano (perhaps restarting my computer) and close iTunes, then reopen iTunes, reconnect and see if the box is available.
