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,
Henrik Bach

Hi, Danny
"Edit Layout" button on top and then you can select the version name or metadata and hit delete to remove it from the book

  • Cannot make image copy. Please Help

    Hi,
    I am trying to make a image copy for the patch 110930-03 because i am getting the error

    PLEASE HELP.

    Could be a problem with windows 8.3 filenames. Does it
    work if you pass dd the "short" filename associated with
    S28DCA0301? (The explorer properties dialog should list
    the MS-DOS "short" filename).

  • HELP???Question about the technique RM COPY. Please Help

    PLEASE HELP
    Im wondering if anyone can help me. I recently got a reply to a post that I wrote about deleting duplicated files. Mainly MP3s. I have not done this method yet though. Does it work? I have around 9000 mp3s that Itunes seems to always duplicate and I need to get rid of them. Can I open one of my ex-Harddrives that pretty much hold mp3s and run this command? Im looking for a completely faster method than individually deleting them in Itunes. One last question too. Where do I type this command? How do I access the directorys where my mp3s are in my ex-HD? If anyone can help me Id greatly appreciate it. The reply is below my name

    posternut:
    If none of the original filenames contains the lettering " copy", you can do what you want quite easily.
    Open Terminal, navigate to the folder that contains the files, and enter the following command (exactly as it appears here):
    rm *" copy"*
    That's all there is to it. All 9000 duplicate files will be removed very quickly.
    If you need help "navigating to the folder" or if some of your original filenames contain the lettering “ copy”, then post back here.
    Greg

    Launch Terminal.app
    Type cd followed by a space. Do not hit return key just yet.
    In Finder, navigate to folder containing the files you want to blow away.
    Drag and drop that folder (in the finder) into the Terminal.app window. It'll autofill the path to the directory containing the files you're wanting to blow away. Now hit the return key.
    You could type ls (that's a lower-case ell) and see the directory listing of all the files in your current directory. Probably a good idea to do just to doublecheck that you really are in the directory that you want to blow away all these files from.
    Now do what Greg said.
    Don't get impatient because Terminal is just sitting there and you're not getting an immediate command prompt. It'll take a while to blow away 9000 files.
    For entertainment, instead of rm *" copy"* use rm -v *" copy"* so you can watch all 9000 file names be printed in your terminal window as they are being deleted.
    Will it work? Oh yes .... irreversibly (if it doesn't, that's coz' there are some file ownership and/or file permission issues that need to be looked at, but assuming those are "compatible" with your current Terminal user environment, those guys'll be toast. Any file that's in the working directory where you are in Terminal that has the five characters " copy" in its filename will be history.
    The assumption in Greg's command is that all the files you want to blow away all reside in the one directory that you have navigated to.

  • Adding & Copying Formulas Please help

    Hi
    I am trying to put a formula in a cell and then use that same formula in a different cell without having to retype in the formula using the different cell block numbers and letters. Example
    I have this formula
    =D4+E4-F4
    and I want to copy it down to the other cells without retyping it
    =D6+E6-F6
    =D8+E8-F8
    and so on...
    Please help I know it can be done.
    Thanks

    Select the cell, copy, select the destination(s), paste. That is one of several ways to copy cells/formulas. Another way is to select the cell and drag down on the circle in the lower right of the selection box. However, it looks like you are only copying your formula to even numbered rows so that second method won't work for you.

  • Only custom project presets.Can you please help me?

    Hi!My motion 3 now dosen't show projects presets.I tried unistall and install several times and i can't choose my presets, there only 720x480.Can someone help me please? Thank you so much and sorry my english

    Howdy,
    Unfortunately, reinstalling from the disc over newer versions (e.g. Motion 3.0 over Motion 3.0.2) damages Motion and Compressor. You'll need to properly remove them and then reinstall. Apple has a support article on it here.

  • Copying database please help graduation project

    Hi all
    i am doing my graduation project as computer science student i am doing visual basic for interface and oracle express as a database i have made the tables and everything but i need to copy the whole database to my friend's computers so they can help me inserting the data into the tables so i need basicly to transfer the database to my friend's computer can you help me doing that step by step i'm not that much in Oracle i know only selecting,updating and creating tables
    and if you please tell me if there is a way to make auto backup for the database just like the database by itself will do an automatic backup for itself every just like 1 week
    if there is a way can you plz provide me with it
    if there is no automatic way can you please provide me with the manual way of backing up the database.
    regards
    wish me luck in my project plz

    Hi there,
    It helps to specify which version of the database you're using, and the operating system on the computer, and whether 32 or 64 bit. Do this for each end (your computer and your friend's computer). It sometimes helps if you describe a bit about the hardware (eg the amount of memory).
    Examples of the first: 8.1.7, 9.0.1.4.0, 9.2.0.8, 10.2.0.3 (and more). I'm not familiar with Db Express, but I assume there's various versions of that as well.
    Examples of the second: Windows XP (I pray not), Linux, Free BSD, Max OS X 10.4. Please be as specific as possible: Is your Linux Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise, or something else?. What version? What's the output of <tt>uname -a</tt>, or <tt>uname -r</tt>.
    You might also give your (first) name, just to be polite.
    but i need to copy the whole database to my friend's computers so they can help me inserting the data into the tablesPerhaps a totally different way of skinning the cat: have you considered letting your friend(s) logging into your database remotely? It takes a bit of setting up: for Linux, it'll be a combination of a broadband connection, [http://dyndns.org/], a firewall setting (choose a port for SSH), ssh (eg PuTTY if your friends on Windows), and some usernames/passwords for your friends. Optional: install sqlplus on your friends' computers and use SSH to tunnel the connections across.
    auto backup for the databaseMy method is a little unsophisticated, but it works for small databases. Shut down the database (if paranoid, a cycle of <tt>shutdown immediate</tt>, <tt>startup restrict</tt>, <tt>shutdown</tt>), then backup the *.dbf, *.ctl, *.ora (datafiles, control files, and {noformat}[sp]{noformat} parameter files). Whether auto or manual is simply a function of whether you type the commands manually, or get the system to run a script at a regular hour, and you have to burn it to a CD or tape, and have that off-site for complete safety. Or you can back it up over the internet.
    If you need further help with remote connections or backup, I'd seek out forums for those particular activities - it's a bit off-topic here.

  • Cannot Connect to iTunes OR Download New Copy.  Please Help!

    I was trying to update my account information earlier today when I noticed I couldn't log into my account info or the iTunes store. I figured it was a temporary problem, but no luck as of a moment ago. I get an error message saying the session timed out and I should check my connection. Well, my connection is fine on Safari and Firefox, so I figured I'd simply reinstall iTunes from a freshly downloaded copy.... except I can't download iTunes either! I tried using both Safari and Firefox several times, reset my computer, reset Safari (in the vain hope it might be that simple). Still no go.
    Is anybody else having a problem like this - or does anybody have a potential solution? I am running no antivirus, and no firewalls beyond what is packaged with OS X. Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi - I'm having exactly the same issue. All other internet apps are running fine, but iTunes store is giving the message that you're getting. I've gone through the troubleshooting support website with no results, so have the feeling it's not my computer but an issue with the store itself. I was able to purchase a song late last night, so it's only a recent thing for me, and I haven't changed any settings since then, so I can't think what else it could be.
    I guess we just need to wait and see... Good luck!

  • CS3 preset settings? Please help

    Hi I'm not to sure whats happening, but in CS3 the footage I load, everycouple seconds the pixels will turn red. I think it might be a preset setting
    but with CS5 I use the canon preset and it works fine. Here's what it looks like http://screenjel.ly/ACTyILGO5Sg
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Andrew,
    Normally, a red Frame indicates a Frame that was dropped during Capture. To maintain sync, PrPro adds a red Frame.
    What camera are you doing the Capture from, and how is it hooked to the computer?
    If you are NOT doing a Capture, then something else is afoot, and more info would be useful.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • 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

  • Export presets - please help!

    Hi everyone,
    In Premiere CS3 (MAC) I had a list of presets under Adobe Media Encoder,such as NTSC source to download 1024 and HDTV 1080p 24 etc.
    These were perfect for the sort of things I was doing, but in CS4 they aren't there any more. There is no Adobe Media Encoder option under export, just media, and I've tried recreating the settings in there, but I get jumpy audio etc.
    Is there a way to import these presets from CS3? If so where are the presets saved?
    Please help!!
    Chris

    In fact, ignore me, I realised if you choose H.264 the presets appear underneath..

  • I cant able to save Re-Corrected metadata in itunes,Please help me

    I cant able to save Re-Corrected metadata in itunes,Please help me

    The link you gave me leads to a feed which is properly constructed as far as it goes but as I say is empty. Looking at the coding the text 'mp3' dopes not appear anywhere in it. You've constructed your feed in Wordpress/Powerpress and I'm afraid I can't advise on those. What have you done since originally posting?
    You can see the text of your feed in the Feedvalidator report (you can ignore the two 'errors').
    As you will see there is no 'item' tag nor any reference to mp3. If you are seeing a media file I can't explain that unless you aren't actually looking at the feed. The associated web page, http://www.pluggingintolife.com/podcast-page/ , has an embedded player referencing an MP3 file with a suitable URL (e.g. http not https) but it's not made it into the feed.

  • Metadata presets

    I have multiple metadata presets. In library view, I select one of the custom presets, and apply it to a photo or selected photos. This works fine; however, when I move to another image the preset reverts to 'None'. Is there any way to prevent this from happening.
    I have checked this forum about setting a preference for medadata presets, but it does not seem to exist. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for your help!
    Bill

    No, you can do one, select all the others as appopriate and hit 'Sync Metadata' button. bottom right!
    No need to copy/paste.

  • Metadata Presets... Erratic behavior and how to?

    I often struggle with the Import presets. Seemingly only during Import one can make a new preset, and I do have cases of more than one identical named preset, because LR does not ignore trailing blanks in preset names (Ouuuu! Woof Woof!)
    But, how can edit exiting preset of Metadata?
    When I have images without any EXIF in them, because come from celluloid old good film, how can declare a camera and lens? I tried to crack this, but neither experiments nor the manual were of help.
    Thomas

    "When I have images without any EXIF in them, because come from celluloid old good film, how can declare a camera and lens? I tried to crack this, but neither experiments nor the manual were of help."
    Metadata can contain many sections, where EXIF section is just one of them. Another one (you may be interested of) is Makernote section -here's where lens data is written.
    Now, you cannot just enter some lens data -Makernote section must be there (in image file) first. Bad news: Makernote is normally written into image file by camera only. Good news: it is possible to "copy" Makernote from one file to another. Once you have Makernote in your image file, you can edit lens data at will. I've tried that and it works.
    About camera description in metadata... just write/create "Model" tag in XMP section, where you describe your camera. If using ExifTool (which I highly recommend), you write:
    exiftool -xmp:model="My SLR Camera" MyScan.tif
    -simple as that.

  • What are the different metadata fields for in the Metadata presets?

    The metadata preset box has a comprehensive array of metadata sections and fields. I just don't know what a lot of them should be used for. Some of them appear to duplicate headings in other fields, albeit with different names.
    Can someone tell me what kind of information the following fields are meant for?
    Basic Info
    Label - I've seen this used for the authors credit. The "Creator" and "Copyright" fields seem to take care of this though. Should it be used for something  else?
    Copy Name - ?
    IPTC Content
    Headline - I've read that this is for describing the content. Isn't the "Caption" field in Basic Info for this?
    IPTC Subject Code - ?
    Description Writer - The author/creator? If not, who?
    IPTC Image
    Intellectual Genre - Same as "Category"?
    ISO Country Code - ?
    IPTC Status
    Title - This may seem obvious, but the title often appears in the caption.
    Job Identifier - I'm assuming this is for applying information pertinent to the author's filing system. If I'm wrong, what is it for?
    Instructions - as above?
    Provider - Author again?
    Source - Author yet again?
    I'm sure there will be those who will argue that some or even most fields can be used for whatever information we wish to put in. My point is that they must be there for specific reasons.
    Oh yes, before someone points me in the direction of the IPTC website, I've been there already and it was full of gobbledygook!
    Thanks in advance.

    Also on the IPTC photo metadata site is a more approach able guide to using the fields:
    http://www.iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/documentation/Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGui de_13.pdf
    This guide was written for the original 1.0 IPTC Core specification, but I think it covers most of the terms you want to understand better. Specifically, it talks about the different roles the Headline, Title and Description (aka Caption) play as well as the Creator, Source and Provider.
    Examples:
    Headline:
    A headline is a brief publishable synopsis/summary of the contents of the photograph. The Headline term should not be confused with the Title term.
    Description:
    The Description field, often referred to as a “caption” is used to describe the who, what and why of what is happening in the photograph. If there is a person or people in the image, this caption might include their names, and/or their role in the action that is taking place. If the image is of a location, then it should give information regarding the location....
    Here are three other places you might want to look for or ask about how other photographers are using the metadata:
    The PhotoMetadata.org web site
    http://www.photometadata.org/
    David Rieck's ControlledVocabulary.com
    http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/
    -See Resources > CV Forum to find the Yahoo! groups forum for the site.
    Peter Krogh's, the DAM Book site and forum:
    http://www.thedambook.com/
    http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php
    The "Label" field is used to control the colored label that's displayed for the file in Lightroom, Bridge and (when opening multiple files) in the Camera Raw plugin. Both Lightroom and Bridge ship with default values mapped to the six-standard label colors. In Lightroom choose the Metadata > Color Label Set > Edit... to change them. In Bridge, use the Label panel in the Bridge preferences dialog.
    You can really use this for whatever you need, but unlike the other terms defined by the IPTC, you should not necessarily expect others to use them for the same thing. Putting the photographer's name there probably doesn't make much sense. I know one Photographer who's assigned the name of a stock agency to each of the label colors so he can track what file was sent to what agency.
