Is-it possible to delete metadata presets ?

Hello,
In the Library module, I can create metadata presets with the IPTC fields.
But, is it possible to delete the presets ?
Thanks for any advice.
Gilles.

Look at the FAQ entitled "Where do I find the Lightroom "Preferences" and "Database/Catalog" files?"
It will tell you where the presets files are stored on your system.
Then:
Close Lightroom.
Use your OS software to go to the location of the presets and delete the one(s) you want to get rid of.
When you re-start LR the presets will be gone.

  • How to edit/ delete metadata presets

    How do I edit a current metadata preset? it look like I only can save the changed setup under a new name, but then how do I then delete the first preset?

    This is a long standing request as other such places have this in LR. it is a catch-up item, I am sure.
    On a Mac the presets are in: user/library/application support/adobe/lightroom/metadata presets from there you can delete them, or edit in any simple text editor (no rich text).

  • Can a metadata preset append instead of overwrite?

    I Googled and then searched this forum with no luck. Thought this would be answered already:
    Is it possible for a metadata preset to only overwrite a field if it is empty? I'd like to apply a preset to many files at a once but have it preserve data if it already exists.
    I'm sure I can do this with external tools like ExifTool but would prefer an all-LR solution if possible.

    Yes.
    It'd be an easy plugin. Are you sure you don't want to use it as an excuse to get your feet wet with the new PluginGenerator/Framework?
    Go ahead and slap me if I start pushin' too hard... ;-}

  • Is it possible to edit an import metadata preset?

    I am using the windows version of LR and have made a metadata preset which I use when importing photos. I would like to change this preset but cannot figure out how to do it. Is this possible or do I need to make a totally new preset?

    I vaguely recall that the next release of Lr will allow better template editing.
    In the meantime edit the template in a text editor. You can find the location by consulting
    this TechNote.
    You can also use the Metatdata panel in the Library module to edit the metatdata of a "junk" photo. Then click the Preset drop-down icon and choose "Save as New Preset...".

  • Is it possible to create a Metadata Preset from Mac to use on PC?

    I'd like to sent some metadata presets to a friend using a pc. Can she simply add the presets or are they incompatible between mac and pc? If it's possible, I'd like to tell her the location where she has to place them, but I don't have a pc. could someone tell me the path on the pc side?

    Yes, they are compatible.

    That depends on the O/S she uses, file locations for different O/S's are shown here. Best is to go to Preferences and click "Show Lightroom Presets Folder". Within the folder shown, there is a a folder called "Metadata Presets", which is where they have to be copied to. On Win7/Vista, this is "C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Metadata Presets\".

  • Metadata presets, deleting erroneous names

    Metadata Preset list contains five metadata file-names I created... three of those are in error. How does one delete these list-names? I've right-clicked, left-clicked, file-searched, etc... and continue to draw a blank.
    Thank you

    Bogdan, I appreciate your input.
    Here's what I continue to find with Windows' Vista Ultimate:
    under (username)-Pictures-Lightroom exists two folders plus one I've found before named "Lightroom Database" (about 43KB). It is not a "Folder," but carries the "LR" designation. Clicking on the file simply opens Lightroom where I was last working. But there is no way to get into that Lightroom Database file, nor any listing of previously created metafile listed names.
    While Lightroom Database is highlighted, under "Properties" the Attributes "Read only" and "Hidden" are unmarked.
    I remain totally baffled. While in Lightroom and working with an image I can create a NEW "Save as New Preset" Metadata profile/name... but I can't delete any of the five I previously created.

  • Load, edit or delete PDF presets in CS6 InDesign not possible.

    Load, edit or delete PDF presets in CS6 InDesign not possible, it says: The folder may be write protected.
    How do I solve this problem? I also work with Adobe Acrobat Professional X.

    OK.
    Lets back up a bit and take things step by step so we all know exactly what's going on, and what you've tried and haven't tried.
    First, what version of Windows are you using? The use simple file sharing is the very last option on my system (XP Pro) if you open Explorer and then use Tools > Folder Options > and select the View tab. This is also the tab where you will need to make hidden and system files visible, and I strongly recommend showing extensions for known file types as well. As far as I know this option (not to use simple file sharing) is available in XP home, too.
    Second, once you've taken care of the first part, please do a search using the search in Windows Explorer, for *.joboptions under all files and be sure to select more options to search hidden and system files. You may find these files in more than one location, but the bulk of them will be in \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings (note that this is the same directory as the one in the tree called "shared documents" -- I have no idea why the name is displayed differently in the folder tree than in the path in the address bar). Right click on one of those and select "Open Containing Folder" option.
    The folder should open in a new window. Click the go up one level button in the toolbar (looks like a folder with an upward arrow on it), then right-click the settings folder icon and select either Properties or Sharing and Security (both open the properties dialog) and click on the security tab.
    At this point, in all probability, the allow options are all grayed out because they should be inherited from the parent object. On my system the only user listed is "everyone" and they have full control. If yours is different, please let us know, and we'll go from there. If it's the same we'll try something different.

  • Metadata presets dysfunctional

    When I click on Metadata Presets, I no longer get the "Default" and "Edit Presets". Instead, they have been replaced by Adobe's long list of preset templates starting with "Black and White Presets". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program to no avail. I have deleted the Library and unintalled and reinstalled to no avail. I have tried items on the Metadata listed on the tool bar to no avail. What can I do to get back the capability of editing and saving a custom preset?

    Thank you, this has restored the presets but I now have to re-write the presets to all the photos in my catalog! I had to restore the program after restoring an image of my c drive [installed LR4 after the image was created] and I did not re-check my preferences.
    Moral of the story: not only back up data regularly also back up system images regularly!

  • Missing Metadata Presets when importing sample library following book

    ISSUE: NO METADATA PRESETS available during import. (Aperture 3)
    DESCRIPTION:
    I have just installed Aperture 3. I am following the Aperture 3 book. When importing the sample Wyoming pictures into the Sample Library , I am directed to choose "basic info" as my metadata preset. I am not able to select "basic info" as a metadata preset. The drop down arrow only yields "none" and "edit". Edit is all grayed out.
    I then tried it in the Main/real Aperture 3 library. I tried to import a few pictures from a a hard drive. Same issue. NO METADATA PRESETS AVAILABLE FOR IMPORTING INTO APERTURE 3.
    Thank youl

    Here is the answer for anyone who may hae same problem:
    Delete the following files from Application (Aperture) /Support :
    1: import Presets.plist
    2:MetadataSets.plist
    3:Metadata Presets.plist.
    Removing these has restored the basic metadata presets.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks

  • How do I delete develop preset folders?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to delete the develop preset folders that come pre-installed with LR 4.  I don't see them in the Develop Presets folder in Application Support/Adobe, and right-clicking on the folders themselves in LR doesn't provide the option to delete.
    The folders I'm talking about are:
    Lightroom B&W Filter Presets
    Lightroom B&W Presets
    Lightroom B&W Toned Presets
    etc...

    So there is no changes on Mac remove or not templates from develop module, folders is still present even if it's empty
    And this code in compiled lua link embeded templates, if someone more skilled can zero it or remove at all that would be great

  • LR2 - "Metadata Preset Copy Metadata..." - please help.

    Hi all,
    I have trouble getting "Copy Metadata" to work similar to how it used to work in LR1.x.
    When I use "Copy Metadata" not only the selected Metadata are copied - but all available Metadata regardless of selected with checkmark or not.
    Example: When I create a new Metadata preset based on an existing picture and select "IPTC Copyright", "IPTC Creator" and "IPTC Image" and NOT select Keywords - keywords are still copied to the new preset. Same operation works as expected in LR1.x - but not in LR2.
    I can manually "correct" the preset in a external editor - but not from inside LR.
    Is this a known bug - or a specific issue on my system?
    Brgds,

  • Is it possible to delete files from time machine?

    Is it possible to delete files from time machine? I had a drive crash, restored the files to a new drive, and now the old versions and the new versions of the files are both backed up, taking up a mountain of drive space. Do I just have to wait 'til the drive gets full and then tell it what to delete first?

    Hi, I need help in a related problem. I have 500gb time capsule. I needed larger hard drive, so I now use TM to back up to a different 1tb hard drive. So I don't need the TC as a TM back up device. But I want to use the TC's hard drive as an extra external hard drive. I deleted the files that were on it. but it still shows it has a sparsebundle file with a size of over 400gb ( probably the size of the old backups). When I use disk utility to try to erase it, I am not offered the erase tab. This "disk" does show on the desk top as a mounted disk (I think) with only 53 gb free. How can I set this up so all the disk space is free and I can use it for storing files, not as a back up? Thanks

    Yes.  Click the first track, and hold CTRL while you click additional tracks.  Then hit Delete.
    (If the tracks you want to highlight are in a row, click the first, hold Shift and click the last.)

    I can't connect to my MacBook because I can't get THAT to start. It just sits in it's blue screen With the apple, spinning it's gear. All this happened after I used mackeeper. If anyone can help with that, I'd appreciate it. I've tried starting in safe mode,resetting everything but nothing happens. It's not the kernel, ive delt with that  it looks like it's going to boot but it won't.  Then there's  my iPad which says I need to delete some stuff to be able to download anything. I know I have room on there but there are 2copies of a movie and I'd like to delete one of them.  Is it possible to delete anything on the ipad without connecting to MacBook?  I do have an appt later in the week but if I could fix this myself that would save me a couple hours driving time. Thanks for anyone's help in both of these matters.
