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...".

How to edit raw files' metadata directly?

Is it possible to edit raw files' metadata directly? If so, how? (I am using Bridge CS6 v5.0.2.4 x64). In my case, raw files are from Nikon digital cameras, i.e., .NEF.
By directly, I mean the original file is changed, rather than the sidecar .xmp file.
This is necessary under some circumstances where it may be required to prove ownership or origin of a photo.
Help most appreciated.
Thank you.

So how do you prove an image is yours?
I did understand the ownerships problem but I also would point to the impossibility of hard proof with current technology.
As said, I put my energy in good clients and for my images that are used on personal websites without my permission I really don't bother.
Don't know where you live and what your country has in its law regarding copyright. I also don't know to what extend you want to go and how much money is involved with your problem.
Never had to do it myself but I heard of several cases in the Netherlands. If you are certain it is your image and it is used without your permission and without paying you there are normal ways to seek justice.
First call the person or company that betrayed you for info and explain, then put this in writing with the request of a reasonable fee. If no luck seek a lawyer for a first letter with warning for extra costs and fine.
If you want (depending on the law in your country but most western countries do respect copyright) you can get it to court. Be sure to have the original raw files at hand (the whole series makes it more believable) and eventually if needed or possible seek witnesses seeing you taking the pictures.
But it can be a long and hard road that is certainly not suitable for a small case. Then again, most of the cases have been decided in favor of the photographer, the company that first refused to pay left with the usual fee to pay including a fine (mostly the same or more as the fee) and having to pay for the costs of the court…
Also keep in mind this is not good advertisement for you as a photographer, especially if the fine is big the word will spread around in the business. It is always problematic in this cases, hence my advise to invest in good clients...

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?
LR Windows
br,
Bo

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).

Is it possible to edit Simple Type enum imported with a model?

I have a Simple Type enum which has been created from a model. Is it possible for me to edit the list in Web Dynpro as the 'Add' / 'Edit' button are greyed out?

Hi Adams
It is not possible to edit Simple Type enumeration imported from model.
if you want to use your own values under the list create your own SVS and pass those values to the model

Is it possible to copy or export metadata from Folio Producer?

Hi,
Is it possible to copy or export metadata from one issue in Folio Producer and import/apply it to a different issue in Folio Producer? Or create a master metadata template that every issue build could use? It would save a lot of time and typing not having to re-enter the same information every month when releasing the next issue for departments, bylines, etc.
Thanks!

Bob,
Do you know when exporting metadata from Folio Producer will be available, and will it export directly to another rendition, or would it export to a sidecar.xml file?
The workflow my team prefers is to build our 1024x768 folio first, add metadata via Properties in the Folio Builder as we add articles, share the folio with editors and advertising sales, make edits and updates, then when all content is approved, create the 2048x1536 rendition folio using multiple importing of articles.
Having the ability to export from an existing folio in Folio Producer would save tons of tedious copying/pasting to get a sidecar.xml.
Hopefully when this becomes available you'll have a big announcement. (Please?)
Thanks in advance.

Problems when trying to import metadata from SQL server using OWB

Hi,
We are using Oracle 11.2 EE on AIX and OWB: 11.2. We are in the process testing Oracle Transparent gateway for SQL Server and have installed and configured it on a standalone windows server. We and have run the ORACLE_HOME\dg4msql\admin\dg4msql_cvw.sql on SQL Server side, in order to query the SQL-Server data dictionary. We have created a DB-link and can pull data correctly without any problems. When trying to import metadata in OWB Client on win xp, we have created a non-oracle SQL Server Module and are able to connect and start the import, but the displayed table names look strange and can not be imported. In front of every letter there is a square box, so instead of ADDRESS (the address table in the source system) , it reads "squarebox"A"squarebox"D"squarebox"D"squarebox"R"squarebox"E"squarebox"S"squarebox"S and subsequently the import fails with :API0413: Illegal name [<tablename>] Name with preceding and trailing spaces is not allowed.
The gateway have been configured with the following parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=<connect string>
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Any ideas ?
This topic has been posted in the Heterogenious Forum as well, but as the problem is within OWB, I also post it here.
Thanks in advance!
Henrik

Henrik,
I've found other problems where OWB adds a space between all characters returned from SQL*Server which is what is happening in your case, although it is being displayed as a square box.
In one of these cases the problem was fixed by using the 11.2.0.2 OWB so would it be possible for you to try with that version ?
Also, as the problem is not with the gateway itself as you can select successfully using a database link then it would be better to follow up in the OWB forum -
Forum: Warehouse Builder
Warehouse Builder
as they will be able to help with the OWB side of the problem.

Changing the language of imported metadata in Indesign

Hello,
I hope someone can help me with my issue...
I am running InDesign CS5 Middle Eastern edition on a Mac and would like to import metadata from bridge - the issue is: when I import the info, which includes numbers, it uses Arabic intead of English language. I have already trashed my Indesign preferences and recreated them all set to English. Is there a metadata setting somewhere where you can set the langauge?

I'm assuming that you're importing an image or a graphic with metadata.
You'd need to edit the metadata in Adobe Bridge. Select the graphic in InDesign. Control/right-click and choose Graphics > Reveal in Bridge. In Bridge, view the Metadata panel. Likely, the metadata is in the IPTC Core section so open that section. Editable fields are marked with a pencil icon.

Error while importing : /metadata/iam-features-ldap-sync/LDAPUser.xml

Hi,
I am unable to import modified Oracle Identity Manager metadata. I am using OIM 11.1.1.5 on Windows Server 2007 EE.
I am trying to use the import/export functionality via EM.
I am able to export the LDAPUser.xml file from */metadata/iam-features-ldap-sync/LDAPUser.xml,* have made changes to it but when I am importing it back I am getting the error :
Error occurred while executing operation.
MDS-00001: exception in Metadata Services layer

excludeBaseDocsan : false
excludeExtendedMetadata : false

I have tried using the command line script as well, It runs without a hitch but when I try and import back, it gives me the same old unedited document.
Has anyone been successful with this approach ?
Regards,

Yes, I have. But still the same issue. It seem to run fine using the weblogicImportmetadata.bat fine but when I export and check the updated file, I still get back the original.
Here's what I get on runnung the weblogicImportmetadata.bat file

Hi everyone,
A few days ago I installed the Administration and Clients OBIEE11g tools on my machine. To do so follow these steps:
- Install Weblogic Server 10.3.3
- Install OBIEE 11g using 'Software Only'.
I selected this installation because BI Server is installed on a Linux server.
In the machine on which I installed previously existed the following products:
- Oracle Client 10.2
- Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.2
When trying to import Metadata into the repository, using Administrative tool in OBI 11g the import fails with both, ODBC and OCI drivers. Always the same error appears: “The connection has failed.”
I created the tnsnames.ora file (which points to the database) in the path [Middleware Home] \ OracleBI1 \ network \ admin.
I tried to import metadata for replacing the DSN connection string. For this I have followed this syntax: (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = [ip_address]) (PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = [db_name ]))). But it does not import metadata. Always the same error appears: 'The connection has failed. "
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to import metadata to wav files in my library?

Is there a way to import metadata to wav files in my library?
I have about 1,500 .wav files that are presently in my iTunes library, but as most of you are aware .wav files have their limitations with regard to how iTunes translates their specific track information. I haven't been archiving using .wav in sometime, I've since switched to another more iTunes friendly format. But, I have these 1,500 files left and I'm desperately trying to find a faster way to log the info.
I've built a data table with all of the track information I want to import. Does anyone know of a good macro, or script that will allow me to import this data so I don't have to manually open each individual .wav file and input this manually?
Any help would be appreciated!
Note: I've searched the forums, and I've looked at similar posts, but nothing to solve this specific little quandary. If I've somehow overlooked a post, please forgive my repeat post.

I can probably help with this.
I have a script called TagFromFilename that can apply fill in the details that can be extracted from the file path if the .wavs are stored in the layout <Album Artist>\<Album>\[D-]## <Name>[ - <Artist>].<Ext> where D is an optional leading disc number and <Artist> is an optional trailing artist (otherwise both artist and album artist are set to the grandparent folder). You just need to make sure that before you add the tracks to iTunes, that it won't rename the files. You can do this by turning off the Keep option if the files are inside the media folder, or the copy option if the tracks are located outside.
Alternatively I have another script called ExportImport which allows for almost any editable to be adjusted, as long as you can export the internal track IDs of each track and then marry them up with the data you want to import. See Batch Add Comments Tag Solution? for a previous example of how if might be done. I'll gladly go into more detail if you tell me what fields you already have and what identifying information is present.

Can't edit slide imported from PowerPoint in Cap 5.5

Hi - I'm running Windows XP. I've created a new project from a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation (imported .ppt file, although it may have been originally created as pptx). For the Advance Slide option I selected Automatically, and I unchecked the Linked checkbox. I have successfully imported additional PPT slides into the project file, and I have been able to use the text to speech conversion option to create audio narration for several slides, so the project file seems to be working as usual, and is not overly large (only about 6 mb). I can also open the temporary PPT editing environment and make changes to an imported slide by using right-click and selecting Edit with Microsoft PowerPoint/Edit Slide. But after I click the Save button in the temporary editing window, I never return to the Captivate project file window - Captivate hangs up. I've waited as long as ten minutes before using Task Manager to end the process. Does anyone have any thoughts about what can cause this, and/or what I am doing wrong? I have already uninstalled a trial version of Articulate (before uninstalling it, I was not able to import additional PPT slides into my project, but uninstalling didn't fix the editing issue). I suppose I could work around this problem by importing corrected slides into the project file and deleting the originals I'm replacing, but I'd like to be able to get this to work right if possible. Thanks.

I didn't use it because of comments I've read by developers who've had problems with the Linked function. You don't need to select the Linked function to edit an imported slide in Captivate, though, do you? I thought unlinked slides were imported into the project library, and that you can edit them there. Have I misunderstood how this works?

Import Metadata shows no schemas

In the virtual machine , I have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.6, and in my local machine I have only installed client Administrator Tools to connect the remote vritual machine.
When I use the Import Metadata operation (either from the File menu, or context menu on an existing Connection Pool), the step (“Select Metadata objects”) which ought to show the schemas just shows a stub, and no schemas. I do not know what happen?
I make use of PL/SQL client to connet virtual machine Oracle database, it is ok.

Export single edition and import in a content with others magazines: EDIT

I am trying to import files exported from a single edition from another userID. Now I want to have that magazine in a new kiosk with others. Is it possible?
I try:
import files downloaded from the single edition "Folio, xml, etc...."
Share from the other uerID the magazine, but I cant see and edit the content.
Do I have to re-use the indesign files to copy the mag in another user? :/
Thank you very much!

turn your single edition folio into an online folio, share with the other account, use the copy folio feature to copy from account A into account B.
There is no way to import content that was exported using the export feature in folio producer
