How to add lens metadata to existing DNG files?

I shot some images with a fully manual optic, so lens data was not embedded in RAW files, hence they are not existant in DRG files after conversion.
Is there a way to edit those DNG files in Lightroom so they would include lens name and focal lenght I manually enter?

Romuald

>That said, I would love a secret mode for this.
It's called a Text Editor and it doesn't even and to touch the raw file (i.e. CR2, NEF, MRW, etc). Save out the metadata to XMP sidecar, use search and replace to overwrite the lens info, then read the metadata back in Lightroom. Lightroom will use the edited metadata instead of the embedded EXIF data. I've used this method for years. TextWrangler (Mac) or similar on Windows can run a search/replace on a batch of files (thousands if need be).
For example:
Find:
24.0-70.0 mm
replaced with
EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM
You can't use above method on DNG directly. So, you create and edit the XMP sidecar before converting to DNG. Either way you're leaving the original Makernotes intact and therefore running no risk of screwing the file.
At some point in the future it should be possible to skip above and write the lens data directly into the Lightroom database and back to the sidecar or DNG if required. Unfortunately, not this cycle.

How to add tags to the existing XML file?

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein I have to add a tag to the existing xml data.
For Eg:
<ROW>
<EVNT_ID>7333976</EVNT_ID>
<DISTRCT_CD>67</DISTRCT_CD>
<TIME_OFF>06-May-2008 10:50:04 AM</TIME_OFF>
</ROW>
The desired output is,
<DI_DATA>
<ROW>
<EVNT_ID>7333976</EVNT_ID>
<DISTRCT_CD>67</DISTRCT_CD>
<TIME_OFF>06-May-2008 10:50:04 AM</TIME_OFF>
</ROW>
</DI_DATA>
I have to add <DI_DATA> </DI_DATA>at the start and end of the input.
Could any of you help me on this?
Thanks,
GV

If your XML is just in a CLOB, you can just use string manipulation to prepend/append the nodes on. If you have it in an XMLType you could just do the following
select appendchildxml(XMLTYPE('<DI_DATA/>'),
'DI_DATA',
XMLTYPE('<ROW>
<EVNT_ID>7333976</EVNT_ID>
<DISTRCT_CD>67</DISTRCT_CD>
<TIME_OFF>06-May-2008 10:50:04 AM</TIME_OFF>
</ROW>')) -- this would be your variable
from dual;which will put your data within the DI_DATA node.

If you want to add a field in Elementary search help, get the search help name for the and go to change mode and add the field in it.
If you want to add a field in collective search help, go to included search helps tab and a new search help name and add the fields to it.

Faillure writing metadata to some DNG files

I'm having a problem writing metadata to some dng files using Lightroom 2.6.1. When I try to apply a metadata template to a batch of files most of them get changes but a few don't. This only effects DNG files so far JPEG and TIFF seem to be OK. I have tried running the problem files through DNG converter and the new files have the same problem. Lightroom won't write to them.
I can change the metadata of these files from Bridge. The changes then appear properly in Lightroom. Afterwards I can change the metadata again from Lightroom.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro (Late 2008) and running OS 10.6.2.

I created a preset to export to same folder as original, same format as original, and stack with (above) original. I used this on the seven files, and it has solved the problem without losing any metadata.
The jpegs had at some point been processed by Photoshop Elements as they were imported/edited using that application in 2010 but the metadata problem didn't show up until recently when I was making some adjustments in Lightroom. I somehow think this may be related to the GPS tag though I don't have sufficient evidence.
The DNG file was strange in that it was straight the camera with no Lightroom adjustments, although I did add GPS info in the Map module. Anway it is now fixed as well as the jpegs.
With this preset it would be possible quickly to fix a large number of image files. Just create a Smart Collection to display the problem files and run the preset on them all in one go. The only things that I am aware of that you would need to look out for are (1) if they are in a collection other than a smart collection, or have been published to a service like Flickr or to the Hard Disk the link will be broken, and (2) If you like to sort photos by date/time added, they will be out of the sequence (capture time is fine).
When you are satisfied that this has worked OK then you can delete the images from the "Metadata Not Up To Date" smart collection. Select all, go to all photos, they should remain selected and press Delete. You could do a thousand in one go if you have the nerve for it
Hope this helps.

DNG Converter converts existing dng files to.....dng!

Today I decided to convert all of the raw files on one hard drive to dng format. The dng converter has converted about 4,000 of a little over 15,000 raw files so far. I scrolled through the conversion status list and noticed that the converter is also converting existing dng files into dng files thus creating a duplicate. Why in the world would a person need, or want to , convert existing dng files to dng files? I new that I already had some dng files on the hard drive, but I never would have imagined that the converter would include dng files in the list of raw files to convert to dng.
It is not a big deal to find and delete. All I have to do is do a search for all files that end in _1.dng. No biggie, but it seems redundant to me to waste time on this conversion. Is there an option to choose not to convert dng files? I can not look at the moment because the converter is converting dng files and is busy. LOL.

You still have not provided any documentation to back up your assertion that Adobe makes plain, or even unplain for that matter, that DNG files are going to be included in the conversion process. I am not asking you to "slavishly go over a variety of documents in order to provide proof", you state as a matter of fact that the documentation exists. Your failure or inability to produce any proof can only be interpreted as meaning that it does not exist. You are speaking about something that you apparently do not have a clue about. You only seem to act like you know what you are talking about. It is pointless to discuss this with you any longer. I accept the fact that you are not going to be able to provide official Adobe documentation stating that DNG files are going to converted along with camera dependent raw files. Apparently, you had no prior knowledge of this issue, because you did not share a reason in your post. And, you still do not share documentation....because you do not have any! FAIL!
As far as making contributions, just because I have only posted 14 times on this forum is not a clear indicator of my total contributions. I am not going to get into a "I have made this many posts on this forum and that forum argument" with you. It is pointless and childish.
And how were you trying to help me? You were not. You offered nothing. Your comment only had one purpose: to make fun of another person and/or to incite a reaction. You did that very well. You need to be honest with yourself and think about what kind of contribution you were making in your original post. You did not offer anything accept for a smartaleck answer.
As far as acknowledging the utility's ability to convert dng files to newer files, yes I knew that the converter could be used to update existing DNG files. I did not imagine that it would convert an existing dng file and produce a duplicate. Big difference!
And what is wrong with venting? I expressed frustration with something that I found bothering. Adobe would like for everyone to adopt this format. One way of achieving that goal is for people to use the converter. But, if people are not happy with the converter, then they may not convert, or recommend the use of the converter. I use the converter, and I use camera raw to convert to dng as well as converting upon import.
You can not defend yourself on the issue of documentation to back up your claim apparently because it does not exist.
I apologize for referring to you as "Mr. Smartypants". I can clearly see now that I was wrong for calling you that.
I know that I am guilty here of inserting my own emotion into your original response. I have a 50% chance that I was correct in assuming that you were simply being humorous and not condescending. Again, I should have ignored your post as it was completely worthless. I apologize for that.
And, at the moment, I do not feel very smart for participating in this childish discussion with you. I am much too old to be doing this.

Simple stats. Buying 2 lottery tickets instead of one, gives you 2 chances to win the lottery prize. Not 1. Even though the odds of winning per ticket remains unchanged.
2 disks buy you 2 tickets in The-Drive-Failure lottery.
Back in the 90's, BT (British Telecom) had a 80+ node OPS cluster build with Pyramid MPP hardware. They had a dedicated store of scsi disks for replacing failed disks - as there were disk failure fairly often due to the number of disks. (a Pryamid MPP chassis looked like a Xmas tree with all the scsi drive LEDs, and BT had several)
In my experience - one should rather expect a drive failure sooner, than later. And have some kind of contingency plan in place to recover from the failure.
The use of symbolic links instead of striping the filesystem protects from the complete loss of the enchilada if a volume member fails, but it does not reduce the risk of loosing data.
I would rather buy a single ticket for the drive failure lottery for a root drive, than 2 tickets in this case. And using symbolic links to "offload" non-critical files to the 2nd drive means that its lottery ticket prize is not a non-bootable server due to a toasted root drive.

REG: How to add new fields to existing Infospoke

Hi All,
We have an existing Infospoke, It has ODS as a Source and some fields are being pulled.
But here is the scenario....
I need some extra fields that are available in other ODS. How to add that fields ?
By some research came to know that.. I need to lookup on the ODS and populate into existing Infospoke.How to add these fields to InfoSpoke using BAdi implementaion.
Note: already BAdi is active in the infospoke.
Please help me in this regard

Hi Chase,
As you mentioned that BADI is already implemented then I guess you should be able to extend the existing BADI itself.
For doing lookup first you should know the key fields of source DSO then by using the existing field of Infospoke you will have to read data from DSO.
DATA: it_data type standard table of 'DSO Name'.
select Key1 key2 etc...
          Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
          from DSO
          into table it_data
          for all entries of infospoke
         where key1 = infospoke1-key1
                     key2 = infospoke2-key2.
This will give you all the required records from source DSO into internal table it_data. Now you using this table you can populate the original table of Infospoke.
