I don't get detailed metadata in bridge CS3

As shown in Help viewer>workspace>recovery and undo,>work with the history palette,>set Edit History Log Options, if I go to Photoshop Preferences>general>History Log>Edit Log items>detailed, I should be getting my history palette edits in Bridge. I did click metadata.
I do get good raw records, but no history palette states.
My edit history looks like this:

Metadata in Bridge CS3 lost after editing NEF file in Capture NX2

Entered keywords and metadata in Bridge CS3, edited NEF file in Capture NX2 and then all metadata in Bridge got lost even if I did not edit any metadata in Capture.
Original Bridge metadata are still saved in XMP file but Bridge does not show them nor can search or sort photos by them.
Is it a Bridge bug or is it connected with any settings?
Win XP, Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9, Capture NX2 2.2.0, Nikon D300
Will appreciate any help, thanks a lot.

First I renamed photos in Bridge - sidecar XMP files were created with the new filename already, added some keywords and metadata in Bridge. Edited photo in Capture but not changed the name again - the result was the Bridge does not show edited metadata and keywords anymore even all those info are still saved in sidecar XMP file. Capture apparently does not change XPM in any way.
It looks like all the problems are connected with renaming files in Bridge before editing them in Capture as if Bridge cannot read XMP after Capture added its own info in NEF file.

Sometimes I don't get flv metadata

I'm using the VideoPlayer object (not the FLVPlayback component). I have a netStream object with a MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED listener.
The swf is in a div that I show and hide as needed to play several videos (as opposed to a popup window - so the swf doesn't get loaded and unloaded - it's loaded upon the first video request and stays around until the user selects another page.)
I've confirmed that all of the videos have metadata. I'll load a video and it'll be fine, load another and it's fine, load another - no metadata. I can load the same video again and I'll get the metadata!?
A friend suggested that this was a player bug explaining that if buffering is set to a value greater then the duration of a video this would happen - I checked my script and was resetting the buffering to 1 second with every video load request, so that's not the cause.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Email on multiple devices is a bit tricky. There are typically two methods to receive email
1. POP - the device downloads the email keeps it locally. It is removed from the server depending on the settings on your device. In other words one device gets it and the other one might not get it.
2. IMAP h- ere the email stays on the server of your provider. All your devices download a local copy and whatever you do on one device (delete, move to folder, etc) gets synchronized to the server and to all the other devices. Also all email gets backed up by the service provider - so you won't lose it.
My suggestion is to use IMAP:

Problems with metadata in Bridge CS3

We have a couple of problems:
Problem 1: Every time images are rotated we are losing the embedded metadata?
When an image arrives from a photographer and shows an orientation of 90° in the camera exif metadata (as seen in Bridge) we have to rotate it (or just resave it in Photoshop) so that it appears the right way up. This causes it to lose its metadata.
Obviously if we do all the rotating BEFORE we input metadata then this isnt a huge problem.
However it is a problem if the images arrive with metadata that we would like to keep.
Problem 2 Weve noticed that Bridge doesnt always write metadata to a file across the server. Weve run tests to check this: we write metadata to a file using Bridge but when we open the image in Photoshop its not there. Is this a known fault?
Thank you very much for any help,
Susannah

According problem 1: this is not normal behavior and you could try first to restart Bridge holding down option key to reset the preferences.
But if you experience this also on the server I don't know if this solutions works. And according to problem 2, you should open a case on Adobe support using the little contact button top right on this page, not many users (including me) of this forum are using a server or know a lot about of that workflow :-(
You could try a forum search also on the word server (Search for forum only works when you are on the mainpage with al the post for Bridge for some strange reason...)

Bridge CS3 not writing metadata to JPEG files

For the last couple of months (without my noticing until a couple days ago) all JPEG files that I have edited using Bridge CS3 (on Windows XP) do not have the metadata built into the file. Here are the symptoms: use "File Info" to edit the metadata for a JPEG file (i.e. add a title, description, copyright info, etc.), all appears normal, but if you do any of the following, the metadata you entered disappears:
- duplicate (the metadata does not exist in the duplicate file)
- move or copy to another folder
- open in Photoshop or any other software that can read metadata (File Info shows none of the metadata you entered)
- rebuild the cache for the folder
Strangely, the metadata still appears with the file when you look at it in Bridge as long as you don't do any of the above.
This is really awful as I've put a lot of time into entering this metadata for hundreds of files. Older files (pre-Nov 08) don't have this problem and the metadata is "sticky" and doesn't get deleted. So, somehow my Bridge CS3 got corrupted along the way.
Has anyone experienced this and more importantly -- do you have a solution? I've tried reseting all Bridge settings (but that of course purged the cache and deleted all my metadata.)

Hey,
There are various date/time fields shown in properties panel in Organizer. The dates mentioned in general section are read from OS whereas the dates in EXIF field are read from image's EXIF data. In EXIF data there are three date/time fields-
1. Date time- This date/time info shows date modified of EXIF properties. So when you are writing a tag into imags's IPTC, you are doing some change in EXIF data. Hence this date should change to date when you are writing a tag into IPTC.
2. Date time original - Represents date time when a image was shoot.
3. Date digitized - Represents the date when the image was digitized (in digital camers there is hardly some delay between an image is shoot and it is digitized. So this field is always same as date original).
So, in your scenario, Date time in EXIF should change whenever you are writing any tag into its IPTC.
Please let me know if you need more info on it.

Nikon D60 - Bridge CS3 cannot write Metadata

{This is a follow on to thread: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6704d/1} It appears that Bridge CS3 is unable to write some of the IPTC metadata to pictures taken with my Nikon D60. When trying to change some metadata in a file I get the message "There was an error writing metadata to <filename>" Strangely this does not happen with all metadata fields. For instance, I can change the IPTC Core "City" or "Location" and the change works just fine. However, if I try changing IPTC Core "Creator" or "Copyright Notice" I get that error. I have confirmed that the problem is with the D60 pictures, as it occurs in two different machines (Both CS3, one Vista, one XP). Both machines are able to edit other camera's pictures OK. All files are in JPEG format, I have not tried anything in RAW format. I did find in a completely different forum (for BreezeBrowser, which I've never used) a reference to a similar problem. At least in that forum they mention that the Nikon D60 uses a "different" way of storing metadata which leads to the problem. BreezeBrowser will release a new version to address this issue. Any idea what the solution might be for Bridge and other Adobe products? Thanks! Carlos

I don't have my camera with me at the moment, so I'll have to shoot in NEF later. However, just for kicks I downloaded the latest version of ACR and checked against my current version. It appears to be the same (same size, same timestamp). I even replaced it, per the instructions with the download. No love.
As mentioned in my original post, the issue is limited to a few fields, in particular "Creator" (XMP) or "By-line" (IPTC). I went and added new data to this field using ExifTool. I added it to both IPTC and XMP fields since I know Bridge synchronizes them. The change took, and Bridge noticed it. But now Bridge will not let me modify any XMP/IPTC metadata. It won't even let me change the rating of the file!
I'm really at a loss here. I've searched through other threads and haven't found anything to enlighten me.

Replace Metadata in Bridge CS4 appears to truncate 5.9GB .PSB File; Does CS6 do this too?

I am running Photoshop CS4 on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8, and ran into a problem with Bridge. I would like to know if this problem occurs with Photoshop CS6. Here's the sequence of events:
1. I have a 5.9GB .psb file created with PS; it loads into PS cleanly - no errors.
2. In Bridge, I create a metadata template, and apply it to my .psb file using "Replace Metadata".
3. The "Replace Metadata" operation completes quite quickly, no error messages
4. Immediately after the "replace Metadata" operation Bridge reports that my 5.9GB file is now a 1.6GB file - 4.3GB smaller!!
5. Bridge displays the updated metadata, no visible indication anything is wrong.
6. Now the file will not open in Photoshop - the read starts, but errors out with "unexpected end of file".
7. I restore the 5.9GB file and can open it in Photoshop without problems.
Update:
This problem is not specific to the "Replace Metadata" function in the Bridge menu. I get a similar result by updating the metadata for this file in the Metadata Panel; the resulting file is truncated, but appears to be a different size this time, and it will not open in Photoshop - same error message as before.
This is a 34-image 36856px X 7464px panorama

Thanks for your suggestion, appreciate your effort to help. The link you provided seems to focus on transfer rates and performance; it does take a while to write or read this file, but I expect that. I'm not using RAID of any flavour. I do not expect file corruption, which is what I believe is happening (and PS is reporting).
I have a number of large panoramas; this is the largest. I believe the largest of the others is a bit over 3GB; I have no difficulty updating the metadata in the other panoramas through the metadata panel or with "Replace Metadata". All of these files live on the same drive (therefore connected to the same firewire port). They are backed up to a USB drive with Time Machine, and I've recovered the 5.9GB file from the Time Machine drive a number of times. I can always read the recovered file with PS, and the size after recovery is always exactly the same. When I realized that the size of my 5.9GB file changed during/because of the metadata update, I reverted to an earlier stage in the post-processing, got a 3.8GB .PSB and put a copy on DVD; the DVD copy is good, and I can easily and quickly reconstruct the 5.9GB file by applying the same actions used the first time (the 5.9GB file has three layers that are not in the 3.8GB .PSB). I have not tried to change metadata in the 3.8GB PSB, and can't try that for the next few weeks as I'll be travelling. The only thing I'm certain of is that updating the metadata in the 5.9GB .PSB reduces the size to 1.6GB (put text in Headline field through Metadata panel) or 1.4GB ("Replace Metadata" in Bridge Tools menu), depending on how the update is done.
So, the 5.9GB file has survived several complete transfers (PS=>Disk, Disk=>Time Machine, multiple Time Machine=>Disk, PS=>Disk to 3.8GB after deleting layers, and Disk(3.8GB)=>DVD) with no signs of corruption.
It's very hard to accept the idea that there's some kind of hardware problem that afflicts just one file. The 5.9GB file is output from PS CS4, and I can read it back into PS with no problem.
I'll watch this forum for a few days to see if there are more answers until I have to travel. If not, I'll figure it out another way and report a bug in CS6 if that appears to be appropriate.

Adding metadata to .m1v files in Bridge CS3

I have video files (no audio) .m1v files that I need to tag with Metadata in bridge. One problem when I try to do this in Bridge CS3 version 2.1.1.9- I get an error message saying
"The file "filename.m1v" cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"
Does anyone know of a workaround to this problem
2 solutions I have already considered are to
1. rename the files to .mpg, but there are many files and I do not want to corrupt any of them
2. Don't export to .m1v files- instead use .mpg ALWAYS- (export silent audio track)
So anyone? any other ideas of what can be done
Thanks
Tony

Thanks again Jim
This was not the answer I wanted to hear. So I contacted Adobe directly- They are very quick- they responded within 24 hours via email of course and reiterated what you said- I guess I just needed "official" word from Adobe, before I went to plan B
Anyways If anyone ever has problems like this where you got a bunch of .m1v files and you need to tag them with metadata- I suggest to do what I am doing and download tmpegenc it is a great little piece of software that will convert your .m1v files to .mpg files that you can now tag within bridge, Beauty
I will NEVER export to .m1v AGAIN
Thanks TMPEG
Thanks Jim and Thanks Adobe

Exporting Metadata from bridge to excel or other like program.

Is there a way to export just the metadata, using Bridge, associated with an image file into excel, access, or some other like program?
I would like to perform some kind of batch processing, so as to make the process quick. But I would be open to any other work around scenario.
I am working with Windows XP Professional and Adobe CS2.
Any help would be appreciated!

I've followed the instructions and I am having problems getting data to the folder I set up on my desktop.
I have tried selecting several images and then just one image to export the slected metadata to said folder. By right clicking the images and chosing the script you sent me and then followed your instructions for when your CSV Data Collector Window pops up.
For the Please Slect Folder option i browsed to the folder where I want the info to go to.
~/Desktop/Kens Files/KensTest
For the Please Enter CSV Filename, I copied the title of the image name "2005-agropyron002.jpg"
Then I chose the type of data that I want to import such as:
FileName
DocWidth
DocHigth...
I then go to that folder and there is no info. there.
Please, if you can, give me more detailed instruction.
Thanks,

Take a look at the troubleshooting doc on MetaLink for the OWB OLAP Bridge, however it is intended for version 9.0.4-9.2. You may want to upgrade OWB. More importantly, be sure to be running RDBMS 9.2.0.4 with the OLAP 9.2.0.4.1 patch (PS# 3084634).

4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.

Some Nikon D300 NEF files don't appear in Bridge CS3 (Mac)

Hi all,
I'm using a Nikon D300 and just upgraded to CS3 on my MAC in no small part because the D300 was not supported by CS2. I am running into a problem though.
I always shoot in both JPEG and RAW modes. When I open Bridge I always see each JPEG version of a shot.
However, only about 50% of the time can I see the NEF (RAW) version of the thumbnail. The rest of the time I only see a generic "RAW" thumbnail with no image. This sporadic NEF viewability carries over to the preview pane when I select such a NEF file.
Furthermore, Camera Raw cannot open the NEF files that are not visible in Bridge. When I try opening them I get a message saying "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type."
I have tried purging the Cache (through Tools) as some indicated in other forums threads but this has not helped. I have also downloaded the ACR 4.4 plugin and installed it in the correct library location.
Has anyone else experienced this (whether on a Nikon or other camera)? Any advice?
Thanks

I've finally solved the problem with having only some of my NikonD300 NEF files viewable in Bridge/readable by Photoshop! Jon Michael Riley had said he was having similar problems so I wanted to make sure he and anyone else has the info on what worked for me.
The issue does not have anything to do with purging the thumbnail cache or installing the latest version of Camera RAW 4.4.1. While they were good suggestions (offered by Adobe's Technical support people also), they do not resolve this particular issue.
I read that an earlier version of what Jon described as "Nikon's clunky software" had corruption issues when images were first transfered from the camera via Nikon PictureProject Transfer. It looks like the latest incarnation has the same issues. Nikon products can see the transfered images without a problem. HOWEVER, Adobe Bridge/Photoshop cannot rectify the corruption issue caused by transferring photos using Nikon's utility.
So here's the solution: DO NOT use Nikon PictureProject Transfer! It is a piece of garbage! Instead, make ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER the default tool to transfer images from the camera. To make it default do the following:
Open Bridge, pull down the Bridge CS3 Preferences. Select the "General" preferences set. On this screen you will see "Behavior". The first clickable box reads "When a camera is connected launch Adobe Photo Downloader". Select this box to render this the default transfer tool.
If you still have the pictures on your memory cards you can re-transfer them using Adobe Photo Downloader. All your NEF files should now be readable by Bridge/Photoshop. I've told Adobe Tech Support about this problem with Nikon's software. Hopefully they'll be able to check this as an option if others call in with similar problems.
Unfortunately I have not figured out how to repair the corruption in the files I transfered earlier using Nikon's piece of garbage software. Since I don't have the images on memory cards anymore I can't just re-transfer them. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? Will I ever be able to access my earlier NEF shots?
Cheers,
Greg
Thanks to everyone for trying to help resolve these issues.
