LR4 Problem Saving Metadata
Ever since I upgraded to LR4 I have noticed a problem with metadata. I have created a Smart Collection with the rule "Metadata status is Has Been Changed" to show me all of the images that I have updated metadata but not written the changes to disk. I am seeing the number of images in this collection gradually increase ... but not because I am working on images!
If I go to the collection, do a "Select All" and then do a "Save Metadata to Files", sure enough the disk goes crazy and the images are removed from the collection. BUT ... if I just sit back and watch ... after a few seconds of inactivity the smart collection gradually fills up again ... with the same Images I just saved!!!
Like I mentioned, it seems like this list is getting gradually longer and longer. A few months ago I had about 20 images that were behaving like this, but now I have over 250!
Anyone seeing the same thing? Or have any suggestions as to the cause?
I'm running LR4.1 on an iMac running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.4).
Lr4.3/Win7 pro 64bit-file format dng without write to xmp automatically
This returning group of 'metadata changed' issue has repeated itself in past version and currently.
I select the returnees and use the menu command 'Update dng preview and save metadata' That appears to do the trick for no reappearance occurs.
Since I'm 'catching up' on past images that were not processed I assumed this issue could be connected to 'building the previews'.
Its an annoyance if there are many images that had a metadata change resulting from a simple thing such as keyword edit or move. I learned to do 'save metadata' often rather than watch most of a large group return into view.
Just repeating the save didn't always work but the 'update previews and save' does complete the action.

I´m having problem saving metadata in LR5.
When I try to save medadata to pictures in Lightroom 5 it says "Photos have read-only access" but if I go to info on files and folders it says all users have read and write privilege. I keep the catalogue and pictures not on my mane drive.
Select an image in LR, then Cmd R to go to it in Finder. Then right click it and choose Get Info.

Hello,
I have a new NAS and have started moving photos across to it. I have noticed that I am having issues saving metadata.
e.g. i move 39 images to the new location, I then received messages saying that meta data is not in sync with file date. I can correct this but some files metadata cannot be saved. I get a "photos have read-only access", obviously it's not RO as I just uploaded them.
If I repeat the save metadata action over and over, the number of affected files decreases until eventually they have all saved. I can then wait a few minutes and repeate the metadata save and 10 files or so are read-only again. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
Can anybody offer some advice for me on what is happening here?

Import statement vanishes while saving metadata
Hi
I am facing a strange problem.When I am saving metadata the import statements are erased from the //begin import and // end section in the implementation section of a view.But all packages are present.
Pease helpCheck if there are errors with the metadata of your project, see "Problems" view in Eclipse.
Another possibility may be an exception in the NWDS, open the "PDE runtime" -> "Error log" view.
Do you find anything that might cause the problem?

Lightroom is not saving metadata. I have done several things to save and I still get the tag that states is is not saved. I have also created 2 smart collections. One showing metadata has been changed and one showing metadata is not up to date. No matter what I do it is not showing in LR that it is saved. I spent 2 days with Seth Resnick trying to correct this and we re created my catalog. It was ok, until I imported new images and same problem. Now I have a new problem, when I bring image to PS it saves it but does not bring back to LR. Am I the only one out there who has this problem?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why saving Metadata is so long with huge PSD files. It takes some many time and sometimes I get the Windows error message "Delete Write Failed". I would like to know if there really is a link between the Metadata and the PSD size. Do you have answers according this ? Or any ideas/solutions for fixing this problem ?
Thanksjboissinot wrote:
Oh yes you're right, the error message is "Delay Write Failed" because of it takes too much time for saving Metadata.
By the way, I also work on a server, do you think it can be a network issue ?
I think you have it backwards. It is taking too much time to save the metadata because of a disk I/O problem. I don't know if it's because it's networked or because that drive is starting to fail. But I am willing to bet if you take X's advice and save to a local drive you will see that it doesn't take much time to wirte the metadata.
As X explained most of the time the size of the file does not matter. Only the metadata section is updated and the rest of the file is left unaltered. So it takes the same amout of time to update a 20mb file as a 200mb one. -

Have you put in a support ticket for this? I recommend doing so since its occurring in your production environment. You should also attach your log files as well.

Having a problem saving the graphics on a canvas.
I'm having a problem saving graphics on a canvas. It draws on the canvas but when another window comes up the graphics disappear. I put in a method to take the graphics on the canvas and repaint it with the graphics. But this comes up blank. So I don't know why this is happening. It is probably the paint method but I don't know why. If anyone has any ideas could you please respond because I have had this problem for ages now and it's driving me mad and I have to get this finished or I'm going to be a lot of trouble. I'll show you the code for the class I am concerned with. It is long but most of it can be disregarded. The only parts which are relevent are the paint method and where the drawline e.t.c are called which is in the mouse release

I used to be able to save bookmarks in Firefox. Now when I save a bookmark there is an error message that Google is having a problem saving the bookmark. Does this mean saving to Google or Firefox? When I look roe the saved bookmark it is Google.
Also when I save the bookmark i do not get the option to save it to a folder-- I can only tag itStart Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files. This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type. If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts. But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time. I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time. But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update?? Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS. There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
Thanks,Hi Jimcarke,
My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
Graphic files, no problem. I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)
Regards

Is this a PSE9 problem or a LR4 problem?
When I export an image from LR4 to Bridge for final retouching in PSE9 (as a 16-bit PSD file), the file doesn't show a thumbnail image on Bridge, only static. I can call it up, do editing and change it to 8-bit, but when I try to save it, I get this message: "Could not save as (filename) because the file is already in use or was left open." Is this a LR4 problem or a PSE9 problem or something else? I can save the image under a new file name, but I want to make sure there's not some underlying problem that's going to start corrupting files.
Why are you putting bridge into the equation? Wouldn't it be simpler just to set PSE as your external editor?
