More XMP questions / filtering on edit settings

alright, i've imported one or two of my old CS projects into LR1.0.
now i have a couple of questions.
in CS, i used sidecar XMP files, both as a way to avoid the mystery of the photoshop database, and to future proof myself for when something like LR came around.
now, if i import a CS 'raw' directory into LR, LR is picking up the XMP data. nice! but what happens if i import files in their current location, and then tell LR to use XMP files as well? will LR overwrite the CS .xmp that's sitting there? or do the LR .xmp files go somewhere else?
also, when i check 'use XMP' files in the LR preferences, i hear the disk starting to churn. does it go off and create XMPs for every file in the library which existed prior to turning on the XMP switch?
related to this, generally speaking, the files in my CS directories with a corresponding .xmp file are the ones which i also flagged as 'keep'. being a packrat, i never deleted the duds. is there a way in LR to filter on files which have had edits made? if i can do this, then i can very easily delete all the duds from the LR library. for now, i have to scan thru the filmstrip view for the +/- icon, select and label... this is going to be kind of time consuming for 10,000+ images...
i suppose another solution to this problem would be if LR could read the CS database and import flags, but this is probably too much to ask!
thanks for any replies.

its not unreasonable to read "CS" as "CS2" given that probably most of the known universe has upgraded... except for me :)
anyway it was my other post in which i emphasized it was not CS2. oh well.
also i made post #9 which post #7 was the last post, so i didnt see your response, sean. we must have posted simultaneously.
anyway... time for bed... ugh.

How do I import xmp files that contain edits from another computer?

I edited some images on my laptop and the Metadata Catalog settings show changes are written into the .xmp files. I copied both the CR2 and corresponding .xmp files to my Desktop computer. When I imported the images into LR 5.5, the edits did not show up.
How do I get the corresponding .xmp files to update the CR2 files? Or do I have to start over and import the LR Catalog from my Laptop for just this series of images?
If I send off my CR2 files for someone to edit and they send me back the .xmp files containing the edits, shouldn't I be able to update my original CR2 files???
Thanks, Marc

Also for the info to be read 100% both computers need to be using the same version of LR. (e.g. Lr 4.x will not apply all the info from LR 5.x)

Sequencing question: app requires IE settings change before first launch

hi.
I need to sequence an app that will open in IE.
I did a quick try, got some errors... Found later that it requires IE not above 9. I had 11.
Sure I will try it again with right browser version and if necessary few tries. So in case of problem I can ask providing the errors
But as preliminary question I want to ask an advice for the sequencing in the next installation scenario:
1. Run msi (55MB package, so it is not just a shortcut)
2. Before first launch, installation instruction requires to open IE and set "use username and password" for Internet and Intranet zones to YES.
The question is would IE settings be captured during the installation and monitoring process if I will do it as required.
Or it worth to set IE before starting sequencer, or I can set a registry for IE after editing Appv package after saving.
Also, domain GPO can be used probably. But I know that I need to enter the app during monitoring.
What will be appropriate to try?
Thanks.
"When you hit a wrong note it's the next note that makes it good or bad". Miles Davis

I suggest that when you re-sequence you have the correct version of IE on your sequencing VM. Also, ensure IE has been launched before attempting to sequence to ensure any first run user settings are not going to be captured in your virtual package.
Also, please take a look at this excellent article posted by Dan Gough around overriding Group Policy Settings and consider it's impact for what you may be trying to do:

Appraisal: Editability settings for employee

Hi,
I have a small query in the editability settings for employee in Appraisal.
All my status flows are properly working. The employee declares goals and objectives in the beginning of the year, the appraiser approves/rejects. If the appraiser rejects, employee has to correct the goals and objectives. I have made the criterion and the ratings invisible till the appraiser approves (since I have made the ratings mandatory). The employee writes against each of the criterion, just before the appraiser rates at the end of the year. The appraiser rates against the criterion. The reviewer rates against the criterion. The cycle is completed.
My question:
1. After the employee writes something against the crtieria, the appriaser rates at the end of the year. If the employee logs into the portal after the appraiser rates, he is able to edit what he has written against each criteria. How to make this non-editable for the employee once he has written and the appraiser has rated him against the criteria?
After the reviewer rates the employee anything in the template is becoming non-editable for employee, appraiser and reviewer since it is in the status completed which is absolutely fine.
Please help.
Regards,
Sasi.

How to make this non-editable for the employee once he has written and the appraiser has rated him against the criteria?
I am sure you must be having different substatus for above scenarios. Please ensure, when EE is logging into system in particular status and substatus you are making EE's coulmn as editable and for all other status subststas combination, it is in Display mode only.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

How to save edit settings under preferrences to use when creating or printing a PDF from word 2003 Windows PC 8.1

I have tried to save my PDF settings after editing them, but when I go to "Print" to PDF and check the settings I keep getting Standard default settings.
There is no Adobe PDF listed as a file heading to change conversion settings on my Word screen.
I have tried to create a PDF by open file through the Adobe application and also by trying to print through the Word application with document open and using Adobe PDF as the printer driver.I have changed or edited the settings but they do not appear as an option to select, just the standard default settings.
I have been able to save my setting as a Adobe PDF job options, but can't access them or use them when it comes time to convert to PDF.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have apprached it 3 different ways:
- by opening acrobat and going to preferrences, clining on convert to PDf
- Microsoft Word, then changes each section of the edit settings, ie
general, fonts, images, etc make the cahneges then hit OK, at this point I
get a save as option rather than a save. It saves my changes as a PDF, but I
am not able to access it when I go to make the PDF.
- I also have tried to print PDF from Word and got to properties to make
the changs with the same results as above.
- Then I tried yur suggestion and went to the printer in the control panel
and had the same results.
I am using mircosoft word 2003 which has been compatable with my windows 8.1
I think the problem may be I am using a "trial" version of Adobe Acrotbat DC
2105 version. It must not belettingme save the setting changes.But this
shouldnot be if they want me to really experience the full effects of the
program.
I appreciate your help, thanks

Can't edit settings.

When I try to edit settings on anything I can't. For example, when I go to tools, options the window opens and I can't selct anything. When I hover the mouse over the icons or buttons they highlight, but when I click the mouse button it doesn't work. I can't even shut down the browser with the red square, I have to shut down via task manager. It started after I added the Windows Media Player add on. I tried to remove it, but I can't because the exact same thing happens when I open the Add on menu!! It happens to everything from the top menu.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed windows media player add on

Every time I try to get on the Ipod games, it says I have to add more security questions, but no questions are listed, just two buttons that say "Submit" and places to put the answers to the unstated questions.

There is nothing on the apple website about having additional security questions other than the one, or having a second email to operate the ipod.

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

Why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end. Constant

why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end. Constant rendering means its almost impossible to edit anything. Please help.

H TheGamer
What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? It will not influence my answer but will give me information in case I need to get into version specifics to detail my answer further.
Timeline rendering is a preview matter. It does not fix anything, but it is your window of opportunity to catch of problem sooner than latter. If the Timeline rendering indicator displays orange (11 or higher) for the line above the Timeline content, that is the project telling you that you are not getting the best possible preview of the playback of that content in the Edit area monitor. And, every time you edit a file, you have altered the file from the time before. So, if you want to see the best possible for what you now have, you Timeline render. This is particularly helpful when you are dealing with titles, effects, transitions, and non native formats. You cannot turn off the Timeline render indicator system, at least none that I have ever found nor seen reported. You can do selective Timeline rendering by having the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span only the Timeline segment that you want Timeline rendered.
Consequently, you either ignore the Timeline render indicator system, move on in the project, and take your chances in the outcome or you Timeline render to get your best possible preview if the Timeline render indicator is suggesting that you do so.
I am not approving or disapproving of this project feature, just commenting on the what is.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to have your voice heard at Adobe, you might consider filing an Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Please consider.

Add On...it is also possible to do Timeline rendering in a project, save close the project, and reopen it to find your previously "green" lined content now "orange", indicating unrendered. Yet the preview files generated originally by Timeline rendering are still existing in their hard drive save location. That is another story for other time.

A Simpler, More Direct Question About Merge Joins

This thread is related to Merge Joins Should Be Faster and Merge Join but asks a simpler, more direct question:
Why does merge sort join choose to sort data that is already sorted? Here are some Explain query plans to illustrate my point.
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT * FROM spoTriples ORDER BY s;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |              |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
|   1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice that the plan does not involve a SORT operation. This is because spoTriples is an Index-Organized Table on the primary key index of (s,p,o), which contains all of the columns in the table. This means the table is already sorted on s, which is the column in the ORDER BY clause. The optimizer is taking advantage of the fact that the table is already sorted, which it should.
Now look at this plan:
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT /*+ USE_MERGE(t1 t2) */ t1.s, t2.s
3 FROM spoTriples t1, spoTriples t2
4 WHERE t1.s = t2.s;
Explained.
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT       |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   1 | MERGE JOIN            |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   2 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   3 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
|* 4 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   5 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   4 - access("T1"."S"="T2"."S")
       filter("T1"."S"="T2"."S")I'm doing a self join on the column by which the table is sorted. I'm using a hint to force a merge join, but despite the data already being sorted, the optimizer insists on sorting each instance of spoTriples before doing the merge join. The sort should be unnecessary for the same reason that it is unnecessary in the case with the ORDER BY above.
Is there anyway to make Oracle be aware of and take advantage of the fact that it doesn't have to sort this data before merge joining it?

XMP questions and more switching from LR questions too.

Hey all,
I recently downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3, as I'm thinking about switching from Lightroom 2. I do have a couple questions about XMP data though.
I understand that if I switch over my library to Aperture, I will lose all edits I currently have in LR because that information is subjective to Adobe dialog and so on. That's not a big deal, as I could just start new with Aperture while still keeping my old LR catalogs.
What I don't understand is if it's true that you can't save out edited XMP data? I work for a color-correction company, and we typically save out XMPs to send back to our clients. It appears that the only XMP data Aperture saves is core data, such as date, time, et cetera, but no adjustments. Sometimes I'll work on a photo, and, if I'm not liking my result, then send the original to a friend to see how they edit it. They will send their XMP back to me, and that way it's easy to compare and make small adjustments without having to work off a jpeg. XMP support would be the one huge thing that might be a dealbreaker.
Some thing I miss in Lightroom are before/after view mode, the ability to see my history and take snapshots (and easily revert to the original), and the ability to see what channels were clipping in my histogram.
The last question is speed. Most of the articles I've read have pointed out speed as a big jump of Aperture over LR. While I've definitely had my share of slow LR, Aperture doesn't seem to be significantly faster, if it is at all. I'm working on a MBP with 4GB of RAM and 40 free GBs on a 160GB HD...any ideas?
All feedback is much appreciated!

I had sidecar XMP files with my Lightroom masters. Everything worked perfectly when I imported my images into Aperture 3. I would like to use both applications as I really love the map in Aperture 3, but I cannot embed the geotag information into the image, and if I want this information to be read by both applications, I use Geotagger, or Geophoto which can embed the image into the file, and that will be read by both Lightroom and Aperture immediately.
I was really pleased when I found that Aperture 3 read all the other metadata correctly!

Problem writing meta data changes in xmp in spite of enabled settings

Dear Adobe Community
After struggling with this for two full days and one night, you are my last hope before I give up and migrate to Aperture instead.
I am having problems with Lightroom 5 writing meta data changes into xmp and including development settings in JPEG, inspite of having ticked all three boxed in catalog settings.
In spite of having checked all boxes, Lightroom refused to actually perform the actions. I allowed the save action to take a lot longer than the saving indicator showed was needed, but regardless of this no edits made in the photo would be visible outside Lightroom. I also tried unticking and ticking and restarting my compute.
Therefore, I uninstalled the program and the reinstalled it again (the trial version both times). I added about 5000 images to Lightroom (i.e. referenced). After having made a couple of changes for one photo in development settings, I tried closing the program. However, then this message was then displayed:
I left the program open and running for about 5-5 hours, then tried closing the program, but the message still came up so I closed the program and restarted the computer. I tried making changes to another photo, saving and then closing and the same message comes up. The program also becomes unresponsive, and of course still no meta data has been saved to the photo, i.e. when opening it outside Lightroom, the edits of the photos is not shown.
What do do? I would greatly appreciate any insights, since I have now completely hit the wall.
Oh yes, that´s right:
What version of Lightroom? Include the minor version number (e.g., Lighroom 4 with the 4.1 update).
Lightroom 5.3
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
I installed the program two days ago and then for the second time today.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36
What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
JPEG
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Please see screen dumps above
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Trying to save metadata + trying to open images that it seemed I had saved meta data to
Has this ever worked before?
No
What other software are you running?
For some time Chrome, Firefox, Itunes. Then I closed all other software.
Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs?
No, the problems have been there all the time.

Hi Rob
I think you succeeded in partly convincing me. : ) I think I will go for a non-destrucitve program like LR when I am back in Sweden, but will opt for a destructive one for now. Unfortuntately, I have an Olypmus- so judging from your comment NX2 might not be for me.
Hi AnnaK (see below).

My old snaps are JPEG, but I recently upgraded to an Olympus e-pl5 and will notw (edited by RC) start shooting RAW.
Note: I edited your statement: I assume you meant now instead of not.
If you start shooting raw, then you're gonna need a raw processor, regardless of what the next step in the process will be. And there are none better for this purpose than Lightroom, in my opinion. As has been said, you can export those back to Lightroom as jpeg then delete the raws, if storage is a major issue, or convert to Lossy DNG. Both of those options assume you're willing to adopt a non-destructive workflow, from there on out anyway (not an absolute requirement, but probably makes the most sense). It's generally a bad idea to edit a jpeg then resave it as a jpeg, because quality gets progressively worse every time you do that. Still, it's what I (and everybody else) did for years before Lightroom, and if you want to adopt such a workflow then yeah: you'll need a destructive editor that you like (or as I said, you can continue to use Lightroom in that fashion, by exporting new jpegs and deleting originals - really? that's how you want to go???). Reminder: NX2 works great on jpegs, and so is still very much a candidate in my mind - my biggest reservation in recommending it is uncertainty of it's future (it's kinda in limbo right now).

There is a plugin which will automatically delete originals upon export, but relying on plugins makes for additional complication too.

Exportant (the option is invisible by default, but can be made visible by editing a text config file). To be clear: I do not recommend using Exportant for this purpose until after you've got everything else setup and functioning, and even then it would be worth reconsidering.

Via Publish Services.
PS - I also use features in 'Publish Service Assistant' and 'Change Manager' plugins (for complete automation), but most people just select publish collections and/or sets and click 'Publish' - if you only have a few collections/services it's convenient enough.
