Map Module Discrepancies / Syncing Camera time to GPS Logger

The Map Module of LR5 lets us use the Set Time Zone Offset to account for the fact that you may not have reset the time on your camera when you crossed time zones. For that purpose, it works well.
But what about an equally common occurrence – the camera time is a minute, two, or three out of sync with the GPS time? That doesn’t seem like much, but in my test a photo of my house showed to be taken 2 or 3 houses down the street. That is not a big deal until you’re photographing something like an ancient temple in Cambodia where you don’t have a known reference point. The Map Module does not allow you to adjust for this. How do you get everything to show up right in the Map Module, and have it geotag your photos correctly?
This requires synchronizing the camera time with the GPS track logger device (not the computer) to get the minutes and seconds right. What’s the best way to do that? Here are some thoughts.
Before leaving for your shoot, synchronize the time in your camera to a website with the correct time, like www.time.gov. This is the simplest and easiest if you remember to do it. I tested and it works. Set your camera time to 30 seconds ahead of the current time, and put your cursor on OK. Then as the website counts down to the time you set, simply hit OK and you’ll be right on.
If you forget to do that, there is another alternative. At the beginning of your shoot, press the POI or waypoint button on the data logger while simultaneously taking a photo. Compare the POI time stamp to the photo metadata to get an adjustment time. Then use Edit Capture Time in the Library Module to apply the adjustment time to all the photo metadata. In my GPX file the waypoints or POIs appeared with a <name> entry when viewed by Notepad. You can ignore the hours in the time entry and focus only on the minutes and seconds.
If you use a GPS device with a screen rather than a data logger (I don’t because of expense and bulk) then take a photo of the screen and later compare that time to the metadata time to get the adjustment time.
Finally, if you find out after the fact that you didn’t do any of these, here’s a work-around.
Find a photo that you can locate precisely on the map based on its contents. Roll the mouse cursor over the track log in the Map Module at the point where you know you took the photo. That is the time that should be on the photo. Compare that to the time actually in the photo Metadata and you’ll see what the time adjustment should be. Use that in the Library Module to edit the capture time. Using several photos if you can to get an average is best.
If your shoot doesn’t contain a photo for which you can precisely identify the location, go out in front of your hotel or guesthouse, walk an identifiable route, and shoot a photo at an identifiable location where you can. Unless your camera time has drifted substantially, that should be close enough.
If you’ve already applied the GPS data to the photos before correcting, simply select them all, and delete the GPS coordinates in the Metadata panel. You can autotag again in Map Module after you’ve adjusted the time.
These solutions seem to work.
What additional thoughts, comments, or solutions would you like to add?

  • Map Module annoyances

    I've been using the Map Module quite a bit to add GPS co-ords to old pictures taken before I began tracking my locations via GPS--so I have no tracklogs to use, otherwise I'd just use Jeffrey's plug-in.  In my use of the Map Module I've come across a few annoyances and wonder if any other users have experienced any of them and/or knows of a 'fix'.
    My typical work flow is to select a few--up to a few hundred--photos using a filter in the Library module or at times a smart collection.  I then activate the Map Module and select multiple images taken at the same location and drag those images to the map to geo-encode them.  The geo-encoding goes well and most of the 'Time and Place' fields are set with the text being light grey.  The text for the GPS value is set to full brightness.
    The 'annoyances':
    1.  For the 'Time and Place' metadata to become 'active' each item (City, State/Province, etc.) label must be clicked on and the current greyed location selected by clicking on the proper value in the pop-up that appears when the label is clicked.  The problem is that if I have more than a few images selected--so I can set the 'Time and Place' information for all of them at once--after entering the first item, say for example City, all of the entries will go blank for a few seconds and then re-appear with City now non-grey and active.  Sometimes the other entries remain greyed out and sometimes they totally disappear and I have to remember the spelling, etc., of the blank item and manually type it in for the pop-up does not always contain the entry that disappeared.  Sometimes this 'flashing' of the metadata fields happens more than once per entry. Major annoyance.
    2.  When manually entering an entry because it became blank when setting a different field the metadata entries will blank out while I am typing and the characters I am typing are then interpreted as command characters for LR proper, not as entries in the text box I'm trying to type into.  This is not acceptable behavior.  Sometimes the sequence of letters when interpreted as commands to LR can really muck things up.
    In 1&2 it is as if the program is writing the changed data to the catalog for every image.  While this write operation is taking place the data in the right panel is blanked and the focus changed from an item in the right panel to the main LR window.
    One other observation, since LR 4.0 was released with the Map Module I've had a few dozen crashes.  Every single one of them has happened while working in the Map Module.  I've never had LR 4.x crash at any other time.
    It is my belief that the Map Module is poorly written and in need of major bug fixes.
    My system is a mid-2010 27" i7 iMac @ 2.93 GHz and 16 GB DRAM.  I have over 600 GB remaining on my system drive.  My raw cache files reside on an external drive connected via FW800 which has over 1.5TB free.  I am using Lion (OS X 10.7.3) and the system was installed fresh, not an update from Snow Leopard.
    Ideas anyone?

    I'm currently doing something similar, and I too noticed the weird behaviour when trying to 'commit' the location entries in the Map module. They way I now do it (with all photographs in the filmstrip) is click on one of the placemarks on the map, this will automatically select all the images with that same location. Jump to Library (all the selected photographs stay selected, although they may not all appear in the grid....but 'most' selected will), use the metadata panel to 'commit' (or amend) the location data for the most selected image, then sync metadata (location data only). This updates all the selected images with the same location. Return to Map and pick another placemark and repeat.
    Thanks for the input.  This usually 'works' but sometimes doesn't.  When it doesn't the flash occurs even in the Library module.  However, it is much better than trying to do it in the Map Module with all images selected.
    Note that the Map Module also has a 'Sync Metadata' button so it isn't necessary to return to the Library Module.  Selecting a single image from the group, commit it, then click on the icon to select all images followed by clicking on the Sync Metadata button.
    It is still an anoyance and makes the software seem to be somewhat less than a 'Professional' level application.  I hope Adobe can find and fix these kinds of issues, but I won't hold my breath as I'm sure they have more pressing issues to solve.

  • LR 5.5 Map Module blank / black

    Just tried to go into the map module for the first time since updating to the latest LR release on OSX 10.9.5  - but it's blank.  Not white, no error - just blank.
    Permissions are set properly on the flash player folder, and there's no antivirus installed.  I'm on a case-insensitive file system (and it worked in the previous version just fine.  No firewalls blocking access, and the internet works.
    Any ideas?

    Well, it seems like no one has any ideas.
    The good news is that sometimes I can get it to seemingly work -- meaning that in LR the screen looks okay, but not always.  Makes me concerned about ordering a Blurb book though because I don't know if what I get will be totally screwed up.

  • 1/2 Hour Time Shift in the Map Module

    A quick search didn't find anything, but this was mentioned on the Lightroom channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I662DDxQQUI).  When working with tracklogs in the map module, LR allows one to timeshift the data to allow for time zone changes between the camera and the GPS receiver creating the log (‘Set Time Zone Offset’ in the Tracklog dropdown menu).  However, some countries like Canada (Newfoundland) and Australia have 1/2 hour time zone shifts as well as one-hour time zone shifts, so it would be a good idea to have the shift broken down into 1/2 hour increments.
    Mike.
    Update: I just had another look at this, and while the slider moves with the mouse in one-hour increments, one can manually type in an offset of whatever time, so 3.5 hours for example is possible.  Never mind!! 
    Leaving this here in case anyone else is wondering...

    Check if "Time Zone Support" is turned on. If it is turn it off.
    Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support (down at the bottom).
    When this feature is on it displays even dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars. This must be 2 hours difference in your case.

  • 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:
    Dropdown for the second November 2011 row:
    Not a big problem, but also not nice.

  • Lightroom 4.2: Wrong time in map module

    In Lightroom 4.2 I use the map module in the following way:
    1. Load a gpx-Track
    2. Select one or all tracks
    3. Select the photos to be tagged
    4. Select the correct time zone shift (normally the time interval of the track contains the time interval of the photos)
    5. Tag the selected photos
    Now all photos are tagged correctly. But there is one small bug:
    moving the mouse along the track displayed in the map does not show the local time including the time zone shift but the UTC without time shift. This is somewhat confusing. I think this bug should be removable easyly.
    Best regards

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Map module not finding photos from track log

    I have created GPX files on my phone, loaded them into the map module and selected the corresponding photos. When I select "Auto-tag selected photos" from the pop-up menu where I loaded the track I get an error saying "No Matching Photos" I have checked the track data and the times of the photos and they do match - the track runs from 12:32 to 4:37 on 9-13-2012 and the photos were all taken within this time frame. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

    I had the same problem, and I've found the solution.
    In short:
    Lightroom expects that the times in a .GPX file are in GMT/UTC. It applies the time offset for your local computer to determine the time of the tracklog. As of Lightroom 4.2, it doesn't handle time offsets (as in "+1200") embedded in GPX files. For example, I shot photos recently using the (excellent) SkiRoute16 GPS logger app on my iPhone, then exported to a GPX file. Because London was in summer time, SkiRoute16 appended the offset to the locations:
    </trkpt>
    <trkpt lat="41.54921491494658" lon="-0.06738643106430209">
    <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40+0100</time>
    </trkpt>
    How do I know if my GPX file has offsets embedded?
    If you load a tracklog into the Map module and hover over the tracklog, you should see timestamp tooltips appear. If not, it's probably because there are offsets in the GPX file.
    How do I fix it?
    If your Lightroom PC, photos, and GPX file are all in the same timezone, then you should be able to simply remove the offset. A GPX file is just an XML file, so you can use Notepad, TextWrangler, or whatever to open it. Use find-and-replace to replace the offset with nothing. That is, replace "+0100" with "" - the <time> elements should now look like this:
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Save the GPX file as a new file (don't overwrite the original, just in case things go wrong). Try loading it into Lightroom and see if it works.
    If your Lightroom PC is in a different timezone to the GPX data
    ...Then you'll have do some additional fiddling after removing the offsets:
    Find the time offset of your PC or Mac. For example, I'm in New Zealand and so my time offset right now is +1300.
    Work out what offset to use. In my case, the pictures were taken around 9:30a.m:
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Lightroom's going to assume this is GMT/UTC and add thirteen hours to this (because that's the time offset of my laptop).
    This means I need to subtract 13 hours, which will actually takes the timestamps back to the previous day. 9am on 25 October needs to become 8pm on 24 October:
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Needs to become:
         <time>2012-09-24T20:26:40</time>
    First, I'll change the day by doing a find-and-replace on "2012-09-25" and replace it with "2012-09-24":
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Becomes:
         <time>2012-09-24T09:26:40</time>
    Now, I replace the time portion, again using find-and-replace to replace "T09" with "T20":
         <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
    Becomes thirteen hours earlier:
         <time>2012-09-24T20:26:40</time>
    Once this is done, save the file (again, save as a different filename. Playing with these offsets took me several attempts, and you don't want to overwrite your original GPX file). Then try re-importing the tracklog and see how you go.
    Phew!

  • Time and GPS data windows

    Hello all
    I was presented this sample 1080 frame and was asked if I can do this if time and GPS metadata were part of the video recording. In other words, how do you burn in this data in the video itself. I have P Pro CS 6 @ home and am a complete novice to video editing. Final product may or may not need this, more curious as to how its done - special camera system or in post processing?
    Thanks!

    If whoever shot the video recorded time of day timecode synced from a GPS receiver that was close to the camera (in your case that looks like it would mean mounted in the helicopter), you can use the time code data to match your GPS metadata to the video. I use an automated process to incorporate the the metadata into the video, but the process is all done with custom software that the CEO of our company wrote. The other people I've seen incorporating GPS metadata into video are also using customized, proprietary processes. If you're adding the data in post, you will have to translate the data into Premiere titles or After Effects text keyframes or something else that you can overlay on the video.
    You can also use hardware during your shoot to overlay the GPS data onto the video. I don't use any products that do this, and I don't know how easy they are to find for purchase, but there definitely are people in the geospatial sector who feed video through a GPS-aware piece of video processing hardware that overlays time and position data in real time. In this case you would feed video (most likely through HD-SDI) from your camera to the GPS overlay hardware and then to a recorder.
    There certainly aren't any GPS features built into Premiere Pro. If you want to add titles manually, you'll have to match the time code with your GPS data and make a new title each time the GPS info is supposed to update. GPS data is usually some form of table or spreadsheet with time, coordinates, and other positional data, so you can find the correct time in the video and make a title that includes the corresponding coordinates for that time. If you're doing this for more than a few seconds of video, it will be an unreasonably long and tedious process, but it is possible.

  • 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.
    --Lance

    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.

  • What would you do with the Map Module?

    The only obvious (to me) use is geotagging your photos. Helpful if you ever want to remember exactly where a photo was shot, or to inform others of the exact location.
    I can only think of one other possible use for the Map Module. I like to take pictures of old houses and old buildings. If I geotag all my photos, and then select to see where they are on a map of a specific city or town, I can then see parts of the city or town that I haven't photographed.
    What other uses do you have for the Map Module?

    It’s really ideal for hiking trips if you use a GPS track log which can be used to review your exact trail, and also synchronized with the photos taken (provided your camera clock is set correctly)
    If you upload your photos and data for public sharing, the information is useful to others planning a similar trip and can aid mountain safety. 
     Google maps are certainly not sufficiently detailed for mountain navigation. I use topographical maps of 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 but the aerial views and satellite images can be useful in conjunction with local photos.
    Stock photo libraries may also store the metadata in the future, if not already; so it could become an aid to sales!

  • 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

  • Lightroom CC: In the Map module, why is the Map Tracklog"Auto-Tag Photos" choice inactive?

    In the Lightroom CC Map module, the "Auto-Tag Photos" choice in the Main Menu > Map > Tracklog submenu is inactive (grayed out) when I try to tag GPS metadata from a tracklog to a selected photo. However, for the same tracklog and selected photo, the Auto-Tag 1 Selected Photo choice in the tracklog menu in the Toolbar is active and I can successfully tag the photo with GPS metadata from the tracklog using it. (Lightroom CC (2015) running on Mac OS X, Ver. 10.10.3). Can someone tell me why this might be?

    Auto-tag greyed out - solution
    1. Click on Start(Windows)+R in your Windows 8computer to open the Run Dialog box.
    2. Type %appdata% in the Run Dialog box and hit enter.
    3. Open the Adobe folder.
    4. Open the Lightroom folder.
    5. Open the Preferences folder.
    6. And rename the file Lightroom 5 preferences.agprefs to Lightroom 5 preferences.agprefs.old
    7. reopen the Lightroom and check if your  issue has resolved.
