Metadata panel create metadata template I get an old template

I did click on create metadata template so I should get a new, empy template and not an old one, already filled.

I can get a clean template (with an old title) only if I start Bridge and
press the option key, together, otherwise I won't get a clean template, so I
sort of have to do that all the time, which is not normal.
I agree that this is not normal, meanwhile try to use clear all values and
save as an other name for a safe workaround in stead of refreshing prefs
every time.
Also, the appearance of the metadata content has changed, probably due to
resetting default preferences. All of those
items of course do not reflect the items in the metadata preferences, where
everything, really everything stayed checked, and it's tons, really tons of
them, right?
Resetting Preferences does set the IPTC to show all in Bridge prefs. The
fastest way to correct this is to again to Bridge preferences metadata
section and deselect the checkmark (minus) in front of the name in bold,
this deselects all fields in one time. Now you have only choose the fields
you want to show again in the Metadata panel.
When you also choose to hide empty fields you will have a clean oversight in
the Metadata panel. Also remember, changing checkmarks in Bridge prefs only
affects the view ability of the fields and info in the metadata panel, all
info and metadata is still present in the file (which you can also check in
the menu File/File info or cmd+i)
Is there a way to return to the workspace with larger thumbnails?
Yes, reset workspace or use the slider bottom right to adjust size of
thumbs.
However useless, like you rightly said, I used to use it to type in individual
descriptions for each tumbnails,from the metadata panel, and the description,
together with the copyright notice and maybe the author, from the template,
did show in the metadata workspace with the larger thumbnails.
As I already stated never to use the Metadata workspace I would advice you
to play around with a workspace for your own workflow. Drag the panels to
left or right (grab the tab with the name of the panel) and move it until
you see a blue line. A single blue line means it fits between the other
panels, a surrounding blue line means it nests as a tab to the same panel.
You have 3 columns to work with and you can also resize the columns and
panels until you are satisfied. After this go to the triangle top right next
to workspace names and choose new workspace. Save it with a proper name and
you can always use this workspace again.
If you have to add info in metadata use the metadata panel for it. Having
same info for multiple files just select all those files and type in this
info only once to apply it to all those files. You can fine tune description
afterwards if you need so for one or more other files by selecting them
again.
Also Batch rename is a very useful feature (shiftcmdR or tools/batch
rename). You can rename all the selected files in one go with different
sequence number or other options, explore the fields and add or delete a
field with the plus and minus sign.
Is there an attach button in the post so I can send you a screenshot

I seem to have lost my wifi profile on my macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

seem to have lost my WiFi profile on my Macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

The profile will automatically be added back again when you connect to the network again. Here, I assume that you have a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined.
If the box is checked and the network does not appear, then there may be an operating system problem with your Mac.
That would be beyond the scope of what we handle here with the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, so you would want to post in the appropriate operating system community to follow up on that.

Metadata Panel in Bridge - Greyed Out - what did I do?

I am using CS2 and the metadata panel (view - Metadata panel) is greyed out. What can I do to make it active?
Thanks very much.
Joanne

Does it gray out for files in other folders, have you tried to create a new window?
Check if your files are not write protected or locked and try to reset the preferences. In Bridge 2 that means holding down the shift + option + command key while restarting bridge and check the rest options you will.
Don't know if that is the same for Bridge 1 but you can try.

Metadata Panel - Resolve Conflict?

In the Metadata panel, when Metadata Status is “Up to Date”, why does LR still display the “Resolve Conflict” button to the right. Is this normal behavior for LR 3.2? I tried both Save Metadata to File and Read Metadata from File, and the Resolve Conflict button stills shows. Clicking on Resolve Conflict does not appear to do anything.
Mac OS X, ver 10.6.4

Jeff - Thank you for the response.
I use the thumbnail Unsaved Metadata badge to save metadata to files; I can read and write metadata to/from files without any problems. I have verified this with Bridge. On my system, the little icon that appears to the right of the Metadata Status field that displays Resolve Conflict when you hover over it does not seem to serve a useful purpose. Nothing happens when you click on the icon; and Resolve Conflict is displayed for both Metadata status set to "up to date" or "Has been changed".
Is this normal for LR3.2 or is it unique to my system?

Where can I get iPhoto v5 Templates for iPhoto 08?

My wife and I are very disappointed to see our favorite photo book templates missing in iPhoto '08. It has delayed our purchase of two new iBooks and/or upgrades to Leopard.
We have enjoyed making photo books together. And we purchased a 30" screen and a 17" MacBook Pro to enhance the experience. We have discovered that iPhoto 06 will not run remotely through the MacBook Pro because of library conflicts. We are limited to using iPhoto 06 on our old G4 Macbooks, but it is not the same as sharing the enjoyment on the large screen.
Apple Computer has disappointed us here. Any way we can get the old templates so we can either buy Family Pack Leopard and enjoy iPhoto '08, or are all parties stuck here?
Karen & Rick

Rick:
I tried using an older theme with iPhoto 8 and it just wouldn't work. One user claimed to have been able to get them installed for iPhoto 8. Do a search for "older themes" or "iPhoto 6 themes" in the iPhoto 8 forum.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Creating metadata templates

I've completely ignored metadata templates over the 5 years I have been using Bridge. After reading an article on protecting IP, I decided that I should take an interest, and at least apply personal metadata on image import.
So, the first thing I did was look at Create Metadata Template. When I activate this dialog box, I get this:
I was stumped as to how to proceed, until I saw a website screenshot, and realised this is wrong. I searched the forums but came up empty.
Can anyone suggest how I might solve this, please?

{smacks forehead}
Try this a little longer because it took you 4 years to start using this very useful option... :-) :-)
Here is an example of my template that I have selected to be added on import using Photodownloader. When the 'keepers' are ready I only need to add additional info in the Description field, the city and keywords. Sometimes I need to change the province or even country but these filled template settings are most common for my work area so I decided it is easier to fill them in already and when needed change them.
Mind also the copyright fields. Just an example, there are more ways of doing it :-)

Create metadata template

Does the metadata template contain info that is common to all the pictures in a folder, that is my impression, and for idividual captions I should go
to the metadata panel, right?
It was a relief to see the window asking Do you want to apply this metadata to this image, when did it come out?

A metadata template contains info you can add yourself and can be applied to one or multiple files (even automatically on importing files when having this option selected in Adobe Photodownloader). You can create several metadata templates and save them with a proper name. When needed select the files you want to add the info to and from the metadata panel choose the pop up (very small menu icon top right in the metadata panel) menu add template to add the info to the selected files.
It was a relief to see the window asking Do you want to apply this metadata to this image, when did it come out?
Not sure it is a new feature, it has been there for a while but you can select the option 'do not show again' (there are more menus with this option) and once you selected this option the message will not show any longer until you have reset the preferences, then they appear again as if first time after install

Creating custom Metadata panels in Bridge CS3

I want to create a custom panel that allows me to enter 14+ pieces of information about an image that are not contained within the existing metadata panels.
I can create a custonm panel in photoshop that is seen under 'File info' but I cannot see this information against a file in the metadata in Bridge.
In the Bridge metadata panels you have individual panels such as GPS, IPTC Core, History, etc. Can I create my own custom panel to add to this list?
If so how is it done? Where are the custom panel files stored?
Many thanks

Hi Bob,
It seems that almost every day there is a new secret to explore on this forum... :-)
According to the description in the link you had only a small typo (XML instead of XMP)
here is a copy of the file locations text from the PDF:

Please make "Copyright Status" an editable option in creating metadata templates

I'm new to the Adobe eLearning suite, including Bridge CS4. I've found a workaround in the forums for this issue already, but I really think this is something that Adobe should fix in the Bridge software itself. Apologies if someone else has already posted this as a feature request in this forum, but as it seems I'm unable to search within just this forum, I gave up looking.
In a nutshell: "Copyright Status" should be a field available when choosing what IPTC Core metadata to include in a new metadata template. And it's also not an editable field when looking at the metadata for an image! The whole point of metadata templates is to make it unnecessary to edit a single field (like "Copyright Status") one image at a time. Yet even with the new Bridge CS4, the Copyright Status field is not an option you can include in a new metadata template. Surely it wouldn't be that big a deal to make the 3-item pick list of "Unknown," "Copyrighted" and "Public Domain" available on the Create Metadata Template checklist. Or if having a pick list is too tricky to code on that form and it must be just a checkbox item, do that, and let us populate the text in the field ourselves.
Currently, it's necessary to tweak the metadata on a single image to include the "Copyrighted" status, then Export it and save it as a new metadata template, just to have that one field populated by default. Supplying copyright status as part of a template is a fundamental need for anyone creating or dealing with large numbers of images, and it shouldn't require a workaround to create a properly inclusive metadata template.
Thanks!

In Bridge CS4, highlight your thumbnail, go to the File Menu and select File and then File Info. There you will be able to choose your Copyright Status under the Description tab. What a pain in the butt! Mine kept coming up "Public Domain!"

Should i use pipeline in order to get data from file path to create metadata?

Hi,
we use sharepoint 2013 to index file share and the folders structure represents data as project name / subject etc.
Do you reccomend use pipeline capabilities in order to create metadata from those folders name? (so we will be able to use it as refiners later).
In case so - how to do it?
thanks
keren tsur

Hi Keren,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to convert folder structure to SharePoint metadata.
For achieving your demand, you can use the tool in codeplex:
Folders To SharePoint Metadata Migrator (Folders2SP)
Also you can have a look at the blog:

P2 ingested footage with wrong date created metadata

Hello, we're trying to standarize all of the media for our systems. Part of this includes ingesting P2 footage using Prelude and encoding it as DVCHDPro quicktime files. I know that the recommended method that adobe gives for ingesting P2 footage is to keep the file structure in tact and use the media browser function of Premiere; this, however, doesn't suit our company's needs of maintaining a relativaly NLE-agnostic media library and having quicktime compatiable discrete video clips of all our media. We're using Mac OSX operating systems, by the way.
The problem is that, when using Prelude to ingest, it seems that Prelude obliterates the "date created" metadata and file data (e.g. when selecting the "get info" on the clip itself; that file data). After ingesting a clip, if I open it in Premiere, there is no date-based metadata that matches the original record time on the .mxf file itself. Nor when I view the clip in OSX's "get info" does the "date created" panel reflect the date that the original file was created. It seems that it should be possible to write the original "date created" data to the ingested file (in the ingest panel in Prelude I can see the correct "date created" time); FCPX is able to do this when ingesting P2 media using their systems. Is there an option that I'm missing or is this simply not possible with this version of Prelude?
To illustrate: here's a screencap of the ingest panel in prelude, notice the "date created" column reads 2013-06-28T11:43:05; which is the correct record date of that clip:
However, after I ingest the clip, both within Premiere and the "get info" panel in OSX, the "date created" now refers only to my import time:

Thanks both for your responses. I checked the .mxf file "date created" and it is indeed empty (see picture).
The "date modified time" however, is correct. I do understand that when dragging media directly from the media browser in premiere that the metadata displays correctly; what I think should also happen is that when the footage is ingested and transcoded via Prelude, it should also display correct metadata. As shown in my pictures above, prelude does indeed see the correct "date created" (wherever it gets that information); it just obliterates it after it transcodes the clip; it's not available either in the "get info data" (which, somehow, FCPX does do when importing P2 media through their system) nor (most strangely) in premiere. Any settings or changes that could be made to address this would be appreciated.

Customized metadata panel?

Can I create a customized metadata panel that displays just the fields of my choice? For example, just country, state, city, sub location, GPS, title, caption, label, keywords.

Well, it won't necessarily be any simpler (in fact, one might consider it less simple) to do using a text editor, but if for whatever reason you still prefer a plugin-less solution (roof-roof), here it is:
* Create a directory in with your Lr presets named 'Metadata Field Lists' (exactly), e.g.
* Download a starter template from here:
http://www.robcole.com/Lightroom/Metadata Field Lists/All Possible Items.lrtemplate
(you may need to right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) and choose "Save Link As..." to download)
* Copy it to 'Metadata Field Lists' folder and rename it 'My Metadata Field List #1.lrtemplate' (or whatever you prefer as long as it ends with .lrtemplate).
* Customize using text editor - be sure to change the title and ID at the bottom to "match" (by example/analogy) the name you gave the file in previous step.
* Restart Lightroom
Note: the starter template has (almost) all possible items (e.g. excludes custom metadata, but you don't have any, yet), so your job is to delete stuff, and re-order to your liking.
Also, if you can figure out how, you can make selected fields multi-line, and move the label to the top of the field, and/or add (optionally labeled) separators...
Have fun, and don't forget: if you're not having fun, consider jf's plugin (meow)..
Cheers,
Rob

Metadata Panel has disappeared

I was adding a Camera Model to the Metadata and did remove the check next to "Show Metadata Placard", and almost immediately returned and rechecked the "Show Metadata Placard". I've queried the Help files and cannot find any definition of Metadata Placard so I don't know whether this created my problem or not. The bottom line is that I can no longer see the Metadata Panel in any view! Please ... how do I get it back? I even turned off the computer and re-started thinking that might help and nothing! We need the Metadata, please help!

I was adding a Camera Model to the Metadata
Not sure what you mean by that, you can put checkmarks in front of the
metadata fields in Bridge prefs where you can select or deselect the placard
so that they show themselves in the metadata panel but to my knowledge not
adding a camera model to it?
The bottom line is that I can no longer see the Metadata Panel in any
view!
Whenever Bridge start behaving other than before first try to reset the
preferences by holding down option key while restarting Bridge.

Where do I find the original filename in metadata panels?

I posted this question about retaining the filename but got no answers, so I'm trying again. It used to be in LR prior to Version 2 that you could select "Location" in the Metadata panel and you would see the original camera-generated filename. All my pictures in my LR database have this up until I upgraded to Version 2. Now, it's not there anymore. I want to be able to trace back to the original RAW file if the LR database copy goes corrupt (which has happened three times in 2 years). Any help would be appreciated - I can't locate any forum question/answer that addresses this.
