Missing metadata browser/panel

The tutorials refer to a metadata panel or browser, on left side of screen. Nothing like that shows in my version. How do I get at it?

In Lightroom 2 the Metadata Browser panel is replaced by the Metadata Filter element of the Library Filter bar, which is located at the top of the thumbnail grid. You need to tap the "\" backslash key to toggle the Library Filter on/off.

Force Metadata Browser to update

When importing from a CF card and copying as DNG, I see the following:
If, after import, I select images and add City, State, Country info, the metadata browser still shows Unknown Country>Unknown State>Unknown City groupings that contain these same images. THe only way to get the Metadata Browser to refresh itself and show the correct status is to relaunch LR. Even a Find using the just entered metadata comes up empty until I relaunch. Is anyone else seeing this?

Just filed it as a bug. Oddly enough, if image selection is made via Find, and you alter any metadata used both in the find criteria and Metadata Browser panel, Meatadata Browser will indeed update. Even with this though, LR takes quite a few seconds to refresh the data, which makes it a bit clunky to work with. Even if LR is not being touted as a full-fledged DAM, the limited features it does have in that regard should work much more seamlessly on the whole.

No metadata browser available

When I click on the metadata browser it does not expand to show the metadata browser panel. All the other panels expand, and the metadata is showing in the metadata panel on the right.
It worked on my other computer at home.

Thanks Lee. I'm home now, basking in the splendour of an expanded metadata browser <grin>. I will re-install tomorrow at work.

Missing numbers in metadata browser under OS X Mavericks & LR5

Every since upgrading to Mavericks my Lightroom metadata browser has had missing numbers. It used to show the total count of photos that matched the criteria and it no longer does that. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to resolve it? It's not really that big of a deal but it is a constant annoyance. I've attached a screen shot of the issue.

Known bug in LR5 on Mavericks.

Lens Metadata in the Metadata Browser question

Hi,
I just noticed something peculiar while importing a DNG file converted from a 1D Mark III raw file :
The lens used is reported being an "EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM". The same lens used on a 20D is showed as "70.0-200.0 mm".
Why the difference? Is it because the metadata is taken from a DNG? Because the Mk III reports lens differently?
And now, I have 2 lens data for the same lens in the "Metadata Browser". Do I have a way to move pictures from one lens to the other? Or somehow edit that data?
Thanks,
Louis

>It would be nice if LR had the equivalent of synonyms for this field, and built in so it showed them all as the same.
Problem is that 24-70 might be a Sigma, Canon, Tamron, etc etc. So treating them all the same would be silly.
>Ideally, you could just click on a couple of lenses and then choose a menu item to inform LR that the entries are in fact for the same lens.
The best solution is one were users can edit this and other similar fields from within the metadata panel. For example, my camera may have © Ian Lyons registered in EXIF but I can already change this to read Ian Lyons, and it will be reflected in both the metadata panel and the metadata browser. Using this approach for the Lens field I could reduce from 40 entries to just 20. With your approach I would still have 40 entries and twice as many clicks to find the same batch of images. No thanks.

Application Metadata browser

See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=27246:500
Had some free time on my hands so I created this Application Metadata browser application on all the handy APEX_DICTIONARY views.
1. Each page basically displays the contents of one view with drilldown links to other pages as appropriate
2. Each page has a Glossary section at the top with the comments for that view from the apex_dictionary view
3. All pages have the column show/hide functionality to let you see just the columns you need.
4. The Reports tab tries to highlight potentially unusual situations. I am sure there are many other creative uses of the dictionary views. Ideas welcome.
5. Clicking on an application on the homepage drills down into recent page views for that application. Optionally, you can even see session state data, but your app's parsing schema needs direct SELECT privilege on flows_nnnnnn.wwv_flow_data. Hopefully the APEX team will add a APEX_SESSION_STATE view in a future release.
If there is interest, I can make an application export available so you can install it in your own workspace and browse your own applications.

Vikas,
Sorry I'd missed that in your original post and thanks for adding my query! :)
Have you seen what the iAdvise guys are doing on using the APEX views for QA. They are also building an application to do this. They have chosen certain views (or groups as they call them) to check, and then have error codes assigned to each group. (Such as 'APRC-001 = Wrong date format' for incorrect date formats in application report columns).

Metadata Browser - selected view

I may be missing something, however....
It appears to me that the 'Metadat Browser' only acts on the entire 'Library'. Is it possible to select a folder...or just a selection of images...and have the "Metadata Browser' so the breakdown for just those items?
thanks...JOHN

Just select all the images you want to change and go to the Menu »Metadata > XMP > Export XMP Metadata to File«. This will create a sidecar (text file) to each of your image files containing all the Metadata Lightroom uses. Now find all those .xmp files with your favourite File Browser (Spotlight on Mac, ??? on Windows) and load them into a text or xml editor that supports batch search and replace with multiple files (I use TextMate on the Mac, I'm not sure what the Windows world has to offer on this). Within those text files you'll find a line like this: <aux:Lens>EF-S17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM</aux:Lens> Replace the text as you see fit or create the line just above the aux:ImageNumber entry if no aux:Lens entry exists. Now go back into Lightroom (make sure all the images are still selected) and go to »Metadata > XMP > Import XMP Metadata from File«. Give LR some time to update the Metadata Browser and have fun.

Tag "Other Categories" in Metadata Browser

Not only I find tag "Other Categories" (as the name imply) very usefull, it allows also multiple values inside -similar to "Keyword" tag.
So why not have it inside Metadata Browser? This would allow more precise searching/selecting of images.
Bogdan

I did the same thing. I think what we all have accidentally done was select a dimension that we wanted to hide then went to the properties window to set the Visible property. What I just noticed is that if you click on on one of the dimensions while on the Cube Structure tab the properties window does not change to the dimension and the Visible property on the cube gets set to false accidentally. At least that how I ended up doing it. I hope this helps someone else realize how it happened to them.

Metadata filtering panel options not present in a library

How do I get a metadata filtering panel in a document library? I have activated feature "Metadata navigation and filtering". But in the library there doesn't appear any related links in Library Settings.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the managed metadata filtering not appear in a document library.
To narrow down whether the issue is related to the document library, you can create a new document library then check whether it works.
As another site collection, the managed metadata filtering works well, the issue may be related to the site itself.
To quickly and accurately find the issue, I recommend you can check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

Hi,
There was two options for changing the JSP pages.
1. Go the installation directory /usr/sap/systemname/installationname/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com in that path u can find out the application crm~b2b there in the root folder all the JSP pages are available.Go the respective page and change accordingly.
2. You need create the Enterprise Application in NWDS and import all the source and prepare the ear file and deploy it from NWDS. For deploying the application you required the SDM user Id and passowrd.
Please check with ur basis team then can provide u the required credentials.

Obtaining Metadata Browser data for a single collection within a catalog?

I have 8075 images out of 29000 in a catalog. These images are in
approximately 35 folders but are all tied to a single unique keyword. I
have moved the images to a new collection.
What I want is to have the Metadata browser query only the collection to
give me statistics on lens use, camera used, etc. I seem to be only able to
get information here for the entire catalog. Is there a way to have the
Metadata browser query only a portion of a catalog?
If not, how can I export this collection to a catalog so that I can query
the information?
LR 1.1, Vista,
Thank you
Rikk Flohr

I noticed this too - really a non-starter to use the Metadata browser with a large catalog when you want a more 'local' search.
I keep coming back to the observation that it would be really helpful for the community of users if the LR team could maybe communicate a bit with the Bridge team, and get the benefit of the several iterations of the latter tool.
I still can't do all my work, effectively, in just LR. I switch back and forth between the two.
Is this a case of NIH syndrome in the LR team?

Is there a time line for when this will be fixed?

Considering the length of time they have been in there. No.
Have a guess to the length you think they been down there, then add a few years

Timeshift in Metadata Browser Date

There is some strange time shift occuring between the actual EXIF Date shown and the day the image is listed under the metadata browser, e.g. if I set the capture date to 1.9.2000T00:00.00, the images are listed under 31.8.2000.
Same happens on year boundaries.

There are Date/Time bugs that Adobe are trying to isolate and fix. They do read this forum, so hopefully this will be added to the info pile on the bugs.
What platform are you on?

Get metadata browser back in sync

I changed the State/Province field for about 300 pictures a couple of days ago, and Lightroom hung trying to make the change. After about 15 minutes I killed the process and started again. Now, when I change the State/Province field, LR doesn't adjust the metadata browser to reflect the change. It looks like something has gotten stuck. Any suggestions on how to get the metadata browser back in sync?

Hi Simonfish --
I think the metadata worklist table is probably the one you found. If you make a change to the location fields of a few of the images, do at least the edited ones correct themselves in the metadata browser? If so, I'd recommend doing these in smaller batches for now. It may have just gotten jammed up for a bit and just needs to be prodded to try again (still a bug, but at least recoverable).
If not, hopefully we can find the error that is preventing it from processing the worklist entries with a bit more investigation.
I was able to get the app to hang for quite a while by doing a batch edit and will file this as a bug internally. I'll hopefully be able to repro the issue where the list entries get jammed as well. Thanks!

P.S. Regarding BogdanH's question:
> I'm not sure if SQLite database has rollback feature.
SQLite does have transaction support with rollback capability, so generally I haven't seen cases where simply killing the app causes database corruption, though it will certainly cause the contents of the last (incomplete) transaction to be lost since it rolls it back next time the DB is opened. One thing that SQLite doesn't have is enforcement of referential integrity constraints, but that's quite a bit less critical than risk of corruption of the database file structure itself.
All that said, It is still strongly recommended that you make regular backups of the database file. It should be quite rare, but hardware failures and other extreme circumstances can certainly result in a corrupted database. The usual best practices for backups also apply, of course (keeping them on a separate machine/disk and regularly pushing copies to a different geographic location if possible).
