LR not writing XMP files in an exisitng catalog

Hi Folks
My problem is regarding XMP files. I read on a couple of forums that turning on the xmp files is a good idea...... (Automatically write changes into xmp) OK so I thought lets try it....
If I turn this option on in my existing catalog it does not work, no xmp files are written.
I have tried creating a new catalog and importing some RAW files and it seems to work just fine..... xmp files are created as expected.
So is this option only for new catalogs or can I use it on existing catalogs....
Many thanks in advance
Regards
batandball
My config is the following
LR 5.7
Win 8.1

The files that were previously imported prior to the activating the "Auto write to xmp" will have to be updated using the menu bar> Metadata> and selecting the option to write to xmp. (or Ctrl-S)
Be aware that the develop module edits saved as xmp is only useful to an equivalent version of Adobe Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop.

Not writing to file

Hi,
I have made a program that reads a string, converts it to bytes, then writes to a file.
Well i got the first two working, but its not writing to file. I know it should work cos i have written to file on my previous tests, but when i used a FOR loop it stoped working. Do ya know why. Below is the code...
for (int a = 0;a = bytes.length - 1;a++){
of.write(bytes[a]);
System.out.print(" " + bytes[a] + " : " + bytes.length);
My friend told me to use bytes.length - 1 as it is meant to stop the OUTOFBOUNDS error.
OK,
my regards
Below is the whole program, its a bit messy cos i got lots of old code that i have blocked.
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.lang.String;
public class sender implements Runnable {
int i= 0;
String mes;
int count =0;
int b = 0;
boolean yes = false;
public static void main (String[] arguments) {
Thread th = new Thread (new sender());
th.start ();
//sender();
//while (true){}
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
String mesdialog = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
"Enter your message");
mes = mesdialog.toString();
try {
//FileOutputStream of = new
//FileOutputStream ("send.txt");
FileWriter of = new
FileWriter("send.txt");
//BufferedReader in = new
// BufferedReader(fr);
//while (true){}
int i = 66;
boolean eof = false;
int inChar = 0;
//String inChar;
byte[] bytes = mes.getBytes();
/* < disable / enable

try{
n = Integer.parseInt(mes);
} catch (NumberFormatException nfe){
//inChar = n;
if (inChar != -1) {
byte outChar = (byte)inChar* ;
//char outChar = (char)inChar ;
of.write(outChar);
System.out.println("" + outChar);
//of.write(mes,0,20);
} else
eof = true;
} while (!eof);//*/
for (int a = 0;a = bytes.length - 1;a++){
of.write(bytes[a]);
System.out.print(" " + bytes[a] + " : " + bytes.length);
while (!yes) {
if (bytes[b] == 32 )
yes = true;
else {
of.write(bytes);
System.out.print(" " + bytes[b]);
b++;
//System.exit(0);
//outfile.write(input);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.print("AAA ERROR");}

your friend was obviously wrong.
for (int a = 0;a = bytes.length - 1;a++){ // that does nothing
of.write(bytes[a]);
System.out.print(" " + bytes[a] + " : " + bytes.length);
}the above "for" loop says :
1:initialize a with 0;
2:do loop while a=bytes.length(<-that's completely wrong. it should be
a boolean expression);
3:for each loop increment "a" by one.
try this:for (int a = 0;a < bytes.length;a++){
of.write(bytes[a]);
System.out.print(" " + bytes[a] + " : " + bytes.length);

Programme written in 6.1 is not writing to file in 7.0

The programme written in 6.1 was designed to write data into file but i have installed labview 7.0 now and the same programme is not writing to file.

Hi,
Here is the detailed information.
I am running this Labview VI for collecting data through a network analyser and controlling motion of motors through DAQ card. I have already run the cd of drivers given with Labview 7.0
The exact subvi used for writing file is the hp8720 collect data. This thing has been installed in the Laptop with version 6.1 of Labview. What I have done is that I have taken the same programme and changed its algorithm in Labview 7.0 on a different comp and copied the file back. Then I installed labview 7.0 on the Laptop and tried running the new programme. But everything is working except the writing to file. Error handling has been put up and the message I get is Error reading/writing from/to file. Check file name.
Kindly h
elp out.

Local adjustment brush, not in XMP file

Local adjustment brush, not in XMP file
I shoot everything on location and make minor edits while on location. My location edits usually transfer with the XMP file. I used the new local adjustment tool while on location, however when I got back to my main workstation and transferred the images the local adjustments were not there. Can this be fixed somehow, as it would be nice to only make those edits only once? I do not use as a catalog program, once the job is complete it is removed from the lightroom catalog so again those local adjustments are gone.
Thanks
Mark

The problem may be and I am only guessing here that because no other program
currently supports the adjustment brush options that that information is not
added to XMP file. Not even Photoshop or ACR supports that as of yet. Though
I honestly would have expected that information to be there anyways it would
just be ignored by programs that don't know what to do with (basically
everything but LR 2.0).
Have you tried using DNG files. From what I understand an XMP file it not
needed as the information that is normally in a XMP file in kept inside of
the DNG file. This maybe another reason to go with the DNG format.
Good luck.

CS3 not reading xmp files generated in CS2.

CS3 is not reading xmp files generated in CS2.
If I open a raw file that was adjusted in ACR in PSCS2 with PSCS3 it does not recognize the adjustments that were made to the file.
PSCS3 opens the file in ACR with the default settings and I lose all of the adjustments and crops.
Is anyone else having this problem. If so: is their a fix or a stting I should use?

First. make sure you have updated to Bridge 2.1.0.100.
2nd, Purge the Cache from the TOOLS menu in Bridge.
3rd, Delete and rebuild your Bridge preferences by holding down the Option key (Command+Option, or Command+Option+Shift work as well) immediately after launching the application.
4th, if that doesn't work, make a fresh, new Mac account and log in as a different user.
Then report back.

Not updating xmp files

For some reason my Lightroom has stopped writing to the *.xmp files for changes I have made. How can I correct that?

Thanks I had already made that change and noted the files were being updated, but yesterday I updated about 100 files and none of them came across to the xmp file. Not sure why. I rebooted my computer and it seems fine now. Thanks for your quick response it does seem to be working correctly now.

Camera Raw 6.7 does not save XMP files

I am running Camera Raw 6.7 on a Windows XP machine.
In the Preferences under "General" I have the "Save image settings in" set to "Sidecar ".xmp" files.
And in the DNG File Handling, I do NOT have the "Ignore sidecar ".xmp." file check-box checked in.
But still when I alter a raw file and press Done the DNG file changes date/size and no XMP-file is
created in the directory. Also when Ioad the picture and "reset" it to "Camera Raw Default" and
press Done, the next time I open it is in the "Image settings" state anyway
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be ?

Klas

ACR not using .xmp files after 03/09/2011

I'm using ACR 6.4.1.145 and Bridge CS5 on a Windows 7 x64 Pro machine. Canon S95 and G12 CR2 files created before 04/09/2011 behave exactly as they should: changes aved in .xmp files are recognized and applied in Bridge thumbnails and when the image is re-opened in ACR.
Images created on 04/09/2011 and any later date (tested by altering the file dates) have their changes saved in an .xmp file, but this file is not applied to the thumbnail in Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail does not indicate the .xmp file exists, and the .xmp changes are not applied when the image is reopened unless the .xmp file is loaded manually.
I have purged the cache, restarted Bridge, and restarted Windows. I've moved the images to a different directory, then a different drive. I've loaded the images from the SD card several times now. The problem persists.
All assistance appreciated.

Thanks Thomas.
I am pretty sure the CR2 files don't contain any .xmp data. For one thing, the problem only occurs on my installation. If I use another computer, everything works as it should.
The problem has returned, however. I just tried to make changes in ACR to images created today, and although ACR saves the .xmp, it does not recognize it when I open the image again. I have to load the .xmp manually.
I will bet that tomorrow, the problem has gone away. That would make it somehow time/date dependent. More important to you and anyone else trying to help, it seems to happen only on my installation of CS5. Something has gotten corrupted, I think. If the problem persists, I will probably try a re-install, but I hate the patching proces that follows.

"Automatically Write Changes into XMP" Not Saving XMP Files

I tried finding some other discussions on this but I couldn't seem to find anything...
I recently checked the "Automatically Write Changes into XMP" setting in my "Catalog Settings". However, as I continue to add pictures to my library and make changes, I do *not* see the XMP files being written to the location of the pictures (Nikon NEF files located on my hard-drive). In fact, I can't find the XMP files anywhere. If I want to output the XMP files I have to do a Ctrl + S (Photo --> Save Metadata to File).
I did notice that when I unchecked the setting and re-checked it, *some* of the XMP files showed up. However, in my import of 24 photos, only 14 had XMP files. I had to manually "Save Metadata to File" to get the XMP sidecar files to show.
Am I doing something wrong? Is something not working right? I'm a bit confused. I assumed it would automatically export the sidecar files.
How often should it be outputting XMP sidecards? If I import a new image should the XMP sidecar file be created? Or is it created the first time I change an original picture?
I am using Adobe Lightroom 2.0 (Camera Raw 4.5) on a Mac OS X 10.5.5.
Thanks,

@Eric: hitting cntrl+s works but can be tedeous on large galleries. I've been doing this but it can be a pain.
@Jeannine: different topic than this thread but to answer anyways... Lightroom automatically saves all changes into your catalogue. You never need to dave your changes (here's the kicker though) as long as you do not move the original file. If you
move the file than lightroom won't know that it's the same image as the one you've edited. Once you are done editing your image you will need to "export" the image to a new file (you don't wan to overwrite the original). If you don't export than only lightroom will have your edits. Lightroom is "non-destructive" Which means that it doesn't touch your original photo. Lightroom keeps a text file containing the instructions on what you did to make the edited version. Since your changes are just text inatryxtions you have to "export" the image to get your final image in a version you can put online, print, etc. But to answer your original question, I think you prob moves the original image. If not, could you give us more info?

Bridge CS5 not recognizing xmp files created on CS6?

An employee of mine edited several shoots, using her own computer. She has CC and used Camera RAW. I still use CS5 and am trying to process the files she edited (I have the RAW and the xmp files). Typically, I process these through Bridge. However, Bridge doesn't seem to recognize her xmp files. Any ideas on 1. why this is happening, and 2. how I can apply her xmp files when converting the RAW to jpeg? We are talking about 1500 images. Thanks!

What camera model is she using? What camera raw version are you using on your CS5? Is her camera model supported by your cs5 acr?
Perhaps she could process her raw files+xmp into dng files to pass on to you.

UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE not writing to file in real time !!!

Hi All
I have 3 statements and I am writing some thing to a file using UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE after each statement is over. Each statement takes mentioned time to complete.
I am opening file in append mode.
statement1 (takes 2 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
statement2 (takes 5 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
statement3 (takes 10 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
I noticed that I am able to see contents written by UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE only after statement3 is over, not IMMEDIATELY after statement1 and statement2 are done ?
Can anybody tell me if this is correct behavior or am I missing something here ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

It is expected & correct behavior.

File Receiver Adapter is not writing the file?

Hi All,
I am having a file to file scenario using NFS as both the source and destination are on server.
File is getting picked up from server but not reaching the destination.
In RWB for Receiver channel it only shows Channel active and started correctly.
In SXMB_MONI it shows the message scheduled for some later time.
On reaching that time it tries again and reschedules :(.
Please guide.
Regards,
Sumit

Sumit,
Now do one thing, just for check the directory for read/write permission by putting the test file manually on your target directory.
The porcedure to put a file on server is as shown below:
1. Save your file in your local machine.
2. In XI server, enter the tranaction code "SXDA_TOOLS".
3. In the input screen, enter:
i) Object Type "DXPROJECT".
ii) Program Type "BAPI".
iii) Program "CREATE".
4. Press Copy (Ctrl+F5) button.
5. Now, you will get another screen in which you will see 3 blocks called as "Source", "Target" and "Copy with/without conversion".
6. In Source block, choose the radio button "Presentation Server" and then take F4 help to select your source file. (file which you have saved on your local machine)
7. In source block select the radio button "Application Server", check the box "Remote server" and take F4 help to select your application server.
8. In the same block under "File Type" select "P physical file name" and under "File Name" write the path/directory name which you have mentioned in your communication channel along with the file name.
Example: suppose file name in your Comm Chanel is "demo.xml" and directory path is "/abc/testfiles/XML/", then in step 8 write "/abc/testfiles/XML/demo.xml".
Note: need not to do any thing in 3rd block.
After doing all the above, let me know the results.
Regards,
Sarvesh
****Reward points, if it helpd you.

File adapter not writing the file correctly

Hi,
I am facing an issue where the file created on the destination is not with the correct data. eventhough the payload that was sent out from XI to the adapter is correct.
Issue was with a mltiple element which was written once eventhough the payload shows multiple existance.
we had changed the occurance of that element from 1 to unbounded.
If anyone has any idea do let me know
