LR4 Map Module Question

Suppose, in the Library Module, I select 10 different images. Then, I want to see a map that shows only those 10 — at an appropriate zoom level, so if I have photos in Australia and North America selected, I want to see the map zoomed out and showing both Australia and North America.
How do I get to this map, after I select the 10 different images in the Library Module?

They are opposite sides of the globe paige! You need to be in map module. Then drag the slider completely left for the world map.

Lightroom LR4 - Map Module - Sticky mouse

Lightroom LR4 - Map Module - Sticky mouse Hi folks. When using the mouse to pan the map, the map sticks to the mouse for a while even when you release the button. This means you can pan teh map to a new location, release the mouse and the map continues to pan where you subsequently move the mouse to. Note: this does not happen with Google maps in the browser, so a problem with LR. Its' highly annoying to pan the map and then hold the mouse still for 2 or 3 seconds to avoid the map moving

Anyone?

LR4 Offline -Map Module etc

I'm at a loss, been using Lightroom for past 3yrs with no network problems but recently when attempting to use the Map Module I am receiving a Lightroom Error stating that the Map is "Offline" and to check your network connection? My Mac Pro is connected to everything throughout my Network with no problems except for the LR connection. I'm unable to trace to any past installation of any Apps or Software, it just appeared out of the blue a couple of weeks ago. As stated, any and all apps and software requesting a network connection to the Internet or Home Network connects without any issue-all EXCEPT LR 4!
Anyone who may have heard of this issue and may have a suggestion as to how to address this mystery would be greatly appreciated. I'm totally baffled!

I have issues with tha Map module in LR 4.2 as well. My internet connection is fine, but I get a flashing world map and message "Map Offline" every time Google Maps are not updating instantly but have a response time of more than half a second. This sometimes happens several times a minute. This is extremely annoying and I would consider this a bug. Can the time-out for detecting that maps really are offline due to no internet connection being available be increased somehow?
PS: Sorry for the stupid screen name, but I didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes receiving error messages saying that all sensible names were unavaible.

In Maps Module, please enable simultaneous display of multiple GPS Tracks

Hi LR4 team,
First of all, a big thank you for adding geotagging and mapping support in this version. I was one of the (many) users who was disappointed that geotagging (as well as soft-proofing) did not make it into LR3. This time around I'll gladly part with $99 to upgrade to LR4 as it has some great new features.
In the maps module, there does not seem to be a way to display multiple tracks simultaneously. There's an option to switch between tracks (Map->Tracklog->Next Track|Previous Track) but it doesn't appear to be possible to display multiple tracks simultaneously. This is a pain, especially if you load a tracklog which contains multiple tracks. Many dataloggers will start a new track each time the GPS is power cycled (e.g. with battery changes).
Instead of cycling through tracks one at a time (as is the case in LR4 Beta), please consider implementing a multi-select list where the user can check which tracks he/she wishes to display. Naturally the multiselect should also allow for "Select All" and "Deselect All" and selection of (multiple) ranges using the Shift and individual tracks by holding the Control key -- you know, the typical behavior for lists.
Also please ensure that LR4 hand comfortably handle large track files. I use a datalogger that records its location every 1-10 seconds throughout the day. This results in a fairly large data set to process. When travelling, I may not have the opportunity to upload from CF to LR and sync with GPS tracks for several days, which means that I may have accumulated somewhere in the range of 5MB to 50MB of NMEA track data (depending on the sampling rate) in around 5-20 separate tracks. I'd like LR4 to be able to efficiently handle loading these tracks and tagging all newly imported images. As above, it would be helpful to enable simultaneous display of many tracks.
Thanks!
PS: Love the animated (bouncing) trackpoint to disambiguate multiple images taken in close proximity to one another.

Just as a side question:
Have you ever loaded a tracklog containing different tracks belonging to more than 1 month?
This is what a tracklog with tracks from 10/14/2011 to 11/07/2011 looks like here:
Dropdown for the first November 2011 row:

Not a big problem, but also not nice.

LR4 - Book module takes forever to load

OK....so I've asked this question previously on both here and the Photoshop Feedback forum, without any real answers/responses. So I'm giving it one last shot....
Here's the deal - when I first start LR4, loading the Book, Slideshow, Map and to a lesser extent, Web modules take forever. Especially the Book module - it takes a good 25-30 seconds to load. Once it's loaded it's fine. I've been told everything from "that's normal" to there's something wrong with my computer.
Laptop Spec's - Spring 2010 15" MBP 2.4 i5 with 8gigs of RAM, 256mb video RAM, 500gig 7500rpm HD.
Other's have reported similar delays (none reaching 25-30 seconds though), where as others don't have any issues at all. Would appreciate any thoughts/input/encouragement before I kick LR4 to the curb permanently.

When you open Lightroom and go to the Book Module the first time, it must do two things:
1. The Book module has a more sophisticated text engine than the other modules and it must load fonts that are installed on the system into memory. The more fonts on your system the greater the potential delay.
2. To a greater extent, when you first open the Book module, all of the page-templates must load into memory for access. Once loaded, they do not need to be loaded again until you close Lightroom.
No matter how much processor or Ram you have will not appreciably affect these two operations. They are purely disk-read operations and are primarily limited by your disk data path.
Map Module requires interface with the internet to access Maps.
Web and Slideshow can be sped up by not having large numbers of available images standing by to render. Keeping the toolbar set to "Selected Images Only" rather than "All Filmstrip Images" helps this.

How do I search and work in the map module without losing my selection

I'm going through my old photographs that predate geotracking and adding my best guess as to their locations via the map module but I'm getting frustrated.
My biggest angst is the selections. In the library module, I look around and find a set of photographs that were taken at the same place and I select them. I then go to the map module and move found, sometimes search, for the place where the photographs were taken. Now, I go back to drop the selection into the map and ... OH NO!!! .. there is no selection. Double angst is I click back in Library and I'm scrolled all the way to the start of my group of photographs.
Deselecting the photos is the biggest UI mistake that Lightroom is making in this sequence. I'm wondering if there is something that I can do to either prevent it or perhaps have a second method of a quick temporary group of photographs.
The other related question I have is if anyone has a suggestion of how to mark these photos as the type of GPS information. e.g. it could come from the camera, it could come via a track log, or it could be just my best guess. Perhaps that is already possible to determine.

When you find the photos you want that were taken in a single location, select them and put them in a Quick Collection (press B)
Then select the Quick Collection and go to the Map Module with the filmstrip turned on. You will then be able to work ONLY with this set of photos that are taken in one location

Can I use the map module in a WordPress website?

I'm most interested in the map module for trip photography. My general practice is to use google maps to trace trips and photography locations. Is it possible to do that in LR4's map module and then move them to a WordPress website?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
John Kendrick

You can make a map in maps.google.com, and then upload your images. ( little like you can upload your photos into flickr and then use a wordpress plugin to put them into your wordpress site)
I am in the process of updating my (wordpress) website and I want a map page that has all my fav. images in it. I need to do some research into this, but I've made several websites, including this one where i've used a map i've made from google maps - link, added the location of the property, the airport in Cape Town and a line showing the route.
If you click the sun, you will see another photo in context. This method can be added to any maps, - implied to a wordpress site, as its only an iFrame into a google map that you've created.
so to make
1 - make a google account
2 - make a google map
3 - add photos ( here's hoping exporting photos from LR4 will have the GPS location so the photo appears on the map at location X,Y),
4 - then import your google map into your wordpress site.
PM me in the oncoming week and I will let you know my findings and when I've sussed it, there will be a blog on how to do it.
But in the mean time, the bare bones of what you need to do are available above.

Visitors can't tag Facebook photos posted via LR4 publish module

What I'm bringing up is going to be a strange and esoteric issue, and I'll be surprised if anyone has any input to offer, but here goes.
We run a Facebook Page that relies on posting many photos and enabling page visitors to tag themselves in said photos. Up until the LR4 release, we were simply posting these photos through Facebook's web interface. Starting last week, we started using the LR4 publish module to publish straight to our page in order to skip a whole step in our workflow, and we were thrilled with how well it was working. Since then we've uploaded three photo albums via Lightroom. However, beginning just yesterday an interesting issue has developed. We started getting complaints from guests that they couldn't tag their images, and after testing it out, we confirmed that visitors are no longer able to tag themselves in the LR-uploaded photo albums. This was not the case the whole past week, where we saw dozens and dozens of people being tagged. All older albums (ones uploaded traditionally) still let guests tag photos with no issues.
Anyone have any insight to shed? As much as we love being able to publish right from Lightroom, we plan to revert back to posting via Facebook like always until this issue is resolved.

Me too, narxzrugn!
fans are unable to tag photos on my fan pages since January 2012.
Steps taken to resolve issue:
- have set page profile setting “People can tag photos posted by Spinferno {Fire & Photography}” to ticked.
- have set page type to ‘person’ (Artist)
- have reauthenticated my Jfeidl Lightroom export plugin and attempted to test again. Unsuccessful.
- have looked into Adobe’s LR4 forum: status is unsolved.
- have sent several FB support requests: no replies yet.
I alone am able to tag all photos, but nobody else is.
To everyone who is having this problem, please stand up and be counted as that will get this problem more fairly escalated by Abobe and FB:
Here is the tag issues in FB community help, please make it clear that you too are experiencing this problem, thanks.

Printing PDF from LR4 Book Module

I am having a difficult time getting accurate color when printing a PDF Book file genetrated by the Book Module in LR4.
I've tried exporting the PDF with a Pro Photo profile, but when I open the file and try and print in Adobe Reader I can't figure out how to select an approriate output paper profile as is done in LR or Photoshop. Doesn't seem to be a way to tell Adobe Reader to manage the color. I can turn off having the printer manage the color in the Adobe Reader printer dialog screen, but have no idea what profile Adobe Reader is using when it sends the file to the printer. I get somewhat accurate color but well off that produced by a direct LR4 print.
I've also tried exporting the PDF from the Book Module with the appropriate printer/paper profile chosen as the "Color Profile" (e.g. Canon iPF8300 Premium Semi-Glossy paper 2 280 (high)) and then printing from Adobe Reader with color management turned off in the printer and get decent color but still does not match up with the accurate colors produced by LR4 or CS5 using the same paper profile. My guess is Adobe Reader is not just passing the file on but is changing something before sending to my iPF8300 printer.
Is there a more color aware program I can use to print these PDF's? Am I missing something really obvious here?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Conrad

Lightroom 4 Map Module Is Blank

I upgraded from LR3 to LR4 yesterday and was excited to dive into the Map module. Unfortunately, the map seems to be blank. I have selected an image with GPS information. The Map module correctly looks up the location of the photo (Magdalena, New Mexico). This seems like a rendering bug.
Update 1
Just to check, I installed LR4 onto another OS X 10.6.8 machine that had not previously had Lightroom and imported the same picture. The Map module worked correctly. So, I tried re-installing LR4 on the original machine. Unfortunately, it still does not work. I tried creating a new catalog and backing up and then deleting all preferences. The map is still blank...
I am open to suggestions so long as they don't involve re-installing the OS, as I just did a fresh install yesterday on this machine and therefore highly doubt that will accomplish anything other than wasting my time.
I am open to all sorts of alternatives, including but not limited to:
Running dtrace to look at library calls
attaching XCode to debug (though I would assume all the objects have been stripped), or
Starting up a WebDialogs/WebEx/VNC/TeamViewer/etc server for a dev to pry around on it or debug with XCode. Of course a debuggable build would greatly help with this.
Update 2
More defect info.
I created a new user on the system that is failing, started LR4, created a new catalog, imported the test photo, changed to Map module--still blank. Something on this particular system is causing the rendering failure.
So I figured what the heck, just to make sure, why don't I copy over the LR4 app from the system that is working. Still a blank map...
My next thought was that perhaps it was an issue with the non-accelerated graphics. So I disabled the graphics switching. Still a blank map...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks juckehu. You nailed the problem. I really appreciate you coming up with this solution.
As a programmer who develops software for all UNIX flavors, Mac OS X, and Windows, I find this not working on a case-sensitive filesytem behaviour to be rather ridiculous. I would be ashamed if my tools didn't work correctly because of something like this. Someone folks should be very embarassed, as from some searches I ran it seems like this issue has been around for a long time and with other Adobe products. So, apparently I now get to revert my Mac back to a Windows-esque case-insenstive filesystem. What a way to spend a Friday.

Map module is all white

Hi,
Installed the LR 4 Beta in MacOS Lion and it looks great. However, I couldn't see anything in map module. No map showed up. Where the map is supposed to be is all white. Installed on another Mac with 10.6.8 but everything went well and the map showed up.
Joseph

Tried the charlesproxy. Here is the saved result when I clicked the map module for LR4. (Too bad I can't attach the file here, so I pasted as a txt).
Thanks, Joseph

Can I add or edit Keywords and captions from within the Map module?

I frequently find a need to edit or add to the caption while reviewing and geotagging photos in the Map module. Constantly toggling between modules is inconvenient. Is there a way to add/edit captions or keywords while working in the Map module (or view the map module while working in the Library?
Thanks!
Steve

Can I add or edit Keywords and captions from within the Map module?
created by Modesto Vega in Photoshop Lightroom - View the full discussionYou should be able to change the title, the caption, the sublocation, the city, the state/province, the country, the ISO country code, the altitude, the direction, and a few other fields. However, you cannot add keywords. It would be real nice if Adobe could add this to the Map module.

No Un-ambiguous Selection of Mapping Module (above one) for BUPA_MAIN BDocs

Hi All
I seem to have hit a snag here. I am trying to replicate customers from CRM to ERP but am getting these two errors:
Main error: Partially send, receivers have errors.
No un-ambiguous selection of mapping module (above one) for BDoc type 3932399B34D6279BE10000000A11449E.
Service that caused the error: SMW3OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS._
I have searched on Googleand SDN but have come up with nothing as far as these errors are concerned. We have managed to replicate Business Partners, Materials and Conditions from ERP to CRM without any problems but when it cam e to replicating back, these errors started popping up.
I have used all the tools for analysis but have come up with nothing the really suggest to me what is wrong. I have monitored queues, traces and dumps. I have played around with the filter setting and all.
With regards to the process itself, i followed the C03 best practices config guide and i believe that i have everything in place. Here are the steps i followed:
1.Create an Internal number range for the CRM customer group.
2. Assigned the number range to the Customer group
3. Created a corresponding number range (External) in ERP and a corresponding CRM Customer account group as a copy of the standard 0001 Sold-to-party account group and assigned the number range to it.
4. Defined Partner functions (SP, SH, BP, and PY) for the account group
5. I mapped the CRM classification for customers (B) to the created account group (CRM Customer)
6. I synchrponized the fields for the account group created and the BP roles in CRM including changes on a per client (BUPA) basis.
7. I redowloaded all the cutomizing objects (though i only needed the DNL_CUST_KTOKD) for the sake of the mappings directly in CRM or R/3 Account group maintenance during the creation of the BP.
8. I customized the filter settings in BUPA_MAIN and included the BUT100 table for the filetring of the customers who were created as SP, BP, PY, or SHand who belonged to the Customer group we had created. (BUT000->BU_GROUP & BUT100->RLTYP) for source site CRM.
9. Activated the necessary function modules through transactions COM_BUPA_CALL_FU in ERP and CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU in CRM according to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crmscen70/helpdata/en/60/85b5d333f4174b8e982c1c15db35f3/frameset.htm]
10. Using transaction R3AS i sought to replicate the BUPA_MAIN object.
Because of the few customers created in CRM, it only executes within a single block so the queues would be empty by the time SMQ1 and SMQ2 are executed. R3AM1 shows it as running. SMW01 shows the above error.
When creating a BP through the tx code BP, the main error would be Technical error(Incomplete) and the two other errors as mentionme above would also be there
Is there anyone out there who has met this very same problem or knows the solution to this.
Thanks in advance.

We managed to get a solution to the problem. Here it goes:
When a new adapter object (e.g a custom one) is created, the SMOFOBJECT table is populated with the entry and, in turn, the SMOFUPLMAP is populated with the object and the mapping module for uploading to R/3. During the upload process, a search for custom mapping modules is done and if not found the standard mapping modules are used. However, and it seems weird since it seems as if it applies to the BUPA_MAIN object or the corresponding mapping module (BUPA_MWX_BDOC_UPLOAD_MAIN_R3), there has to be a one-to-one mapping between an mapping module and adapter object.
I had created a custom adapter object (Z_BUPA_MAIN) to which I wanted to put some custom filters and did not want to test with the standard object. So two objects using the same mapping module ended up existing in the SMOFUPLMAP table (one-to-many mapping). The function module in which this happens is the GET_UPL_FUNCTION_FOR_OBJ.
So the solution would be to delete the object if it is not needed or to maintain the SMOFUPLMAP table to remove the entry. When you delete the object, it sometimes does not automatically/subsequently remove the entry in SMOFUPLMAP, so manual maintenance has to be done or the same object has to be recreated and have the mapping module allocated. After this, the problem would be solved. What is weird to me is that the only one-to-one mapping is allowed. I created a custom object for the download of conditions and I did not get that error. So it means that in this case you would have to copy the mapping module and create a custom one for the custom object.

Imported mapping in template mapping module still runs against old location

Hello,
I imported the mapping in a new workspace (located in other server) using object names strategy, and I reconfigured the location source (it's a generic one) it uses.
Looking at the mapping Configure menu / Table operators / Location I see the correct location I want to use.
The template mapping module has the only data location Default Agent.
I have synchronized several times with the inbound repository table information, and redeploy the mapping, but it still goes to the old location, that has been unregistered / deleted in the current repository.
I don't know how to make the mapping runs against the location I want to. Please, help me
Thank you

Hi Alexander
After copying a table to a different module, edit the module to set the data location, configure the module to define the location and synchronize the mapping to use this table.
In OMB to synchronize inbound and outbound use OMBSYNCHRONIZE command
Inbound:
OMBSYNCHRONIZE TABLE '$OMB_CURRENT_PROJECT/SALES/TABY' TO MAPPING 'M_W_PARAMS' OPERATOR 'TABY' USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME')
Outbound:
OMBSYNCHRONIZE MAPPING 'M_W_PARAMS' OPERATOR 'TABX' TO TABLE '$OMB_CURRENT_PROJECT/SALES/TABX' USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME')
Cheers

How to debug mapping module of a Adapter Object

I have created an Adapter object which will send data from ECC table to CRM. In the Table/Structure tab, I have mentioned the ECC table name for which data will come.
A FM is created to convert data and is mapped in Mapping Module of the object.Now though initial load is running sucessfully, table entry is not inserted in CRM table.
Though I have given breakpoint in the FM, it is not triggering. Is there any way out to debug the FM.

Hi,
Can you let me know the download status of your adapter object using txn. R3AM1? If it is DONE, you can trigger another initial load.
The inbound queue formation on CRM is governed by USE_IN_QUEUE field of table CRMRFCPAR on the ECC for your adapter object. It should be set to X. So in case there's a specific entry for your adapter object in CRMRFCPAR, just check it.
If this setting is already maintained you should see a queue name like R3AI_<objectName> in SMQ2 of CRM. Of course you'd need to deregister the R3AI* queue in txn. SMQR.
Thanks,
Rohit
