Force Metadata Browser to update

When importing from a CF card and copying as DNG, I see the following:
If, after import, I select images and add City, State, Country info, the metadata browser still shows Unknown Country>Unknown State>Unknown City groupings that contain these same images. THe only way to get the Metadata Browser to refresh itself and show the correct status is to relaunch LR. Even a Find using the just entered metadata comes up empty until I relaunch. Is anyone else seeing this?

Just filed it as a bug. Oddly enough, if image selection is made via Find, and you alter any metadata used both in the find criteria and Metadata Browser panel, Meatadata Browser will indeed update. Even with this though, LR takes quite a few seconds to refresh the data, which makes it a bit clunky to work with. Even if LR is not being touted as a full-fledged DAM, the limited features it does have in that regard should work much more seamlessly on the whole.

  • Metadata Browser - selected view

    I may be missing something, however....
    It appears to me that the 'Metadat Browser' only acts on the entire 'Library'. Is it possible to select a folder...or just a selection of images...and have the "Metadata Browser' so the breakdown for just those items?
    thanks...JOHN

    Just select all the images you want to change and go to the Menu »Metadata > XMP > Export XMP Metadata to File«. This will create a sidecar (text file) to each of your image files containing all the Metadata Lightroom uses.<br /><br />Now find all those .xmp files with your favourite File Browser (Spotlight on Mac, ??? on Windows) and load them into a text or xml editor that supports batch search and replace with multiple files (I use TextMate on the Mac, I'm not sure what the Windows world has to offer on this).<br /><br />Within those text files you'll find a line like this:<br /><br />   <aux:Lens>EF-S17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM</aux:Lens><br /><br />Replace the text as you see fit or create the line just above the aux:ImageNumber entry if no aux:Lens entry exists.<br /><br />Now go back into Lightroom (make sure all the images are still selected) and go to »Metadata > XMP > Import XMP Metadata from File«. Give LR some time to update the Metadata Browser and have fun.<br /><br />Alexander.<br><span style="font-size: small; color: #408080">-- <br>Canon EOS 400D (aka.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • How to force Office 2013 CTR update regularly

    We are using around 60 PKC licenses of Office 2013 which came in CTR format (we don't have any Office 365 subscription, these licenses came with the new computers). CTR can't be managed via WSUS and it usually updates itself once or two per month (ideally).
    But we have noticed that many clients are not updating regularly. Actually some are stuck on January builds. When you go to such PC it shows that Update is ready. Why it doesn't update automatically? Is the PC has to be idle for some time? Then it is a bad
    design as our employees usually do not slack around half a day and work with Office all the time. How can i force CTR versions to update? Other than going to every machine and pressing Update now or asking users to do so.
    Digging about this i have stumbled upon a blog post about Office Deployment Tool which came out recently (version 1, 2014.05.06). http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/06/19/using-the-office-deployment-tool.aspx Can it provide a way to force
    updates or is it just a way to keep updates on a local share to save the bandwidth? Will the scheduled task behave the same in this scenario and wait for months to update?
    Also, it looks like ODT download page is broken, nothing happens http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36778&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True

    Hi,
    The Click-to-Run for Office 365 Configuration.xml file is used to specify Click-to-Run installation and update options.
    You can specifies attributes for configuring updates in the xml file, If
    Enabled is set to TRUE, the Click-to-Run update system will check for updates automatically.
    If UpdatePath is set to empty (""), updates are obtained from the Microsoft Click-to-Run source, CDN. Not from a local server:
    <Updates
    Enabled=TRUE | FALSE
    UpdatePath=UNC | local | http path
    TargetVersion=X.Y.Z.W
    Deadline=MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM
    />
    More reference about the configuration.xml file and ODT tool:

  • Lens Metadata in the Metadata Browser question

    Hi,
    I just noticed something peculiar while importing a DNG file converted from a 1D Mark III raw file :
    The lens used is reported being an "EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM". The same lens used on a 20D is showed as "70.0-200.0 mm".
    Why the difference? Is it because the metadata is taken from a DNG? Because the Mk III reports lens differently?
    And now, I have 2 lens data for the same lens in the "Metadata Browser". Do I have a way to move pictures from one lens to the other? Or somehow edit that data?
    Thanks,
    Louis

    >It would be nice if LR had the equivalent of synonyms for this field, and built in so it showed them all as the same.
    Problem is that 24-70 might be a Sigma, Canon, Tamron, etc etc. So treating them all the same would be silly.
    >Ideally, you could just click on a couple of lenses and then choose a menu item to inform LR that the entries are in fact for the same lens.
    The best solution is one were users can edit this and other similar fields from within the metadata panel. For example, my camera may have © Ian Lyons registered in EXIF but I can already change this to read Ian Lyons, and it will be reflected in both the metadata panel and the metadata browser. Using this approach for the Lens field I could reduce from 40 entries to just 20. With your approach I would still have 40 entries and twice as many clicks to find the same batch of images. No thanks.

  • How to get a web browser gets updated automatically

    Hello, I am a new person with weblogic application and I am told to use weblogic to develop an application at work. Basically, I have a web portal which needs to query the oracle database for new data (the data will be comming into the DB continuously, let's say every 5 seconds) I got a web portal which connects to the DB and I am able to retrieve data from there. Here are some things that I don't know and still wonder
    1. I am thinking of using the Timer control in weblogic to create a timer thread in order to keep querying the DB continuously every 5 seconds. Is this the good way to do? If so, how do I make the browser automatically update the new data?
    2. Or I can write some Javascript to create a Timer in the web browser with start and stop button in order to control the Timer. If I write a timer javascript, how do I call the query method from the controller to get data from the oracle database.(I have the get() which returns me everything from one table)
    I am very new to this weblogic. I appreciate every help from you
    Cheers

  • Forcing the browser to display current images

    Hi all
              I have a content manager tool where images are uploaded to a server.On the
              same screen the current version of the image is displayed
              When a new version of the image is uploaded and the page is requested again
              without closing the browser window), the old image displays unless the user
              clicks the refresh button or hits the F5 key.
              Is there a meta tag that will specifically expire images in the browser
              cache and force the browser to get the new version?
              I have tried various meta tags eg
              <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />
              <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="-1">
              <META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
              If the user closes the browser, opens it again and request the url then the
              new version of the image displays. It as though the cache doesnt flush or
              something until the browser is closed.
              The only other way I can think of is to add a ?param=some_random_number
              query string to each image in my html - not sure if that would work or not.
              Any help appreciated
              Thanks
              Matt
              

    Hi
              I ended up adding a randomly generated query string to all of my images that
              need to be reretrieved and it worked
              eg the url for my image would be images/myimage.gif?cacheparam=12345
              I did this instead of a custom filter/servlet because only about 3% of my
              images have these strict "ignore the cache" requirements and I couldnt think
              of a url pattern that would properly isolate them without also disabling
              caching for all of my other images.
              Thanks for your replies - i never thought of being able to set response
              headers individually for images.

  • Application Metadata browser

    See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=27246:500
    Had some free time on my hands so I created this Application Metadata browser application on all the handy APEX_DICTIONARY views.
    1. Each page basically displays the contents of one view with drilldown links to other pages as appropriate
    2. Each page has a Glossary section at the top with the comments for that view from the apex_dictionary view
    3. All pages have the column show/hide functionality to let you see just the columns you need.
    4. The Reports tab tries to highlight potentially unusual situations. I am sure there are many other creative uses of the dictionary views. Ideas welcome.
    5. Clicking on an application on the homepage drills down into recent page views for that application. Optionally, you can even see session state data, but your app's parsing schema needs direct SELECT privilege on flows_nnnnnn.wwv_flow_data. Hopefully the APEX team will add a APEX_SESSION_STATE view in a future release.
    If there is interest, I can make an application export available so you can install it in your own workspace and browse your own applications.

    Vikas,
    Sorry I'd missed that in your original post and thanks for adding my query! :)
    Have you seen what the iAdvise guys are doing on using the APEX views for QA. They are also building an application to do this. They have chosen certain views (or groups as they call them) to check, and then have error codes assigned to each group. (Such as 'APRC-001 = Wrong date format' for incorrect date formats in application report columns).
    Check it out:

  • Cant view multipage tiff files in browser after updating ITUNES

    I can't view multi-page tiff files in my browser after updating Itunes. I am not sure why an Itunes update would stop the viewing of Multi-page Tiff files, but it did!
    Is there a fix for this?
    thanks

    That's unfortunate. Are you stating that you have no backup of your media which is ultimately your responsibility?
    Sorry, but if you have lost media and data and have no backup then the ONLY place to place blame is with the user that failed to backup those files.

  • Tag "Other Categories" in Metadata Browser

    Not only I find tag "Other Categories" (as the name imply) very usefull, it allows also multiple values inside -similar to "Keyword" tag.
    So why not have it inside Metadata Browser? This would allow more precise searching/selecting of images.
    Bogdan

    I did the same thing.  I think what we all have accidentally done was select a dimension that we wanted to hide then went to the properties window to set the Visible property.  What I just noticed is that if you click on on one of the dimensions while on the Cube Structure tab the properties window does not change to the dimension and the Visible property on the cube gets set to false accidentally.  At least that how I ended up doing it.  I hope this helps someone else realize how it happened to them.

  • Obtaining Metadata Browser data for a single collection within a catalog?

    I have 8075 images out of 29000 in a catalog. These images are in
    approximately 35 folders but are all tied to a single unique keyword. I
    have moved the images to a new collection.
    What I want is to have the Metadata browser query only the collection to
    give me statistics on lens use, camera used, etc. I seem to be only able to
    get information here for the entire catalog. Is there a way to have the
    Metadata browser query only a portion of a catalog?
    If not, how can I export this collection to a catalog so that I can query
    the information?
    LR 1.1, Vista,
    Thank you
    Rikk Flohr

    I noticed this too - really a non-starter to use the Metadata browser with a large catalog when you want a more 'local' search.
    I keep coming back to the observation that it would be really helpful for the community of users if the LR team could maybe communicate a bit with the Bridge team, and get the benefit of the several iterations of the latter tool.
    I still can't do all my work, effectively, in just LR. I switch back and forth between the two.
    Is this a case of NIH syndrome in the LR team?

  • Is there a trick to forcing Address Book to update/sync with Google?

    I cannot figure out how to force Address Book to update / sync with Google. Every time I go into Address Book preferences and check the box for Google synchronization and type in my information it shows that it is connecting. But the contacts do not update. Then when I close Address Book and open up preferences again, the checkmark for Google synchronization is gone. This happens on my Mac Pro tower and also on my MacBook Air -- both are running OSX 10.6.4. Any ideas?

    Try opening up iSync in Applications. Go into preferences and make sure the "Show in Menu Bar" option is selected.
    Then you can click iSync in the menu bar and tell it to Sync Now. Might help?
