Reading Advanced Metadata in Smart Collections, not working in Bridge CS6

In Bridge CS5 you could make an Smart collection that were looking for: All metadata > contains > "here we add a value from a metadata only visible from the Advanced tab in File info"
But this nolonger works in CS6.
Although I can go to File info and see the metadata value that are visible from Advanced. But the option All metadata, clearly doesn't support the advanced metadata in the file in CS6.
Could this be a bug in CS6?

If any one like to try this yourself and get same or other result, please let me know!
Otherwise this must be a bug to report to Adobe.
I don't have CS5 installed anymore but CS6 is still present while I use Bridge CC for my daily workflow (MacPro MacOSX 10.8.5).
I first copied 4 DNG files from my main folder to a subfolder. Those files I added a name to the IPTC extension persons name and saved.
Checked and this name shows in the IPTC extension persons name field in Metadata panel as well as in Advanced Tab in File Info IPTC Extended Properties / IPTC4xmpExt:PersonInImage(Bag container).
I closed the subfolder and used the smart collection icon to bring up the Find window.
I then selected All metadata and filled in the persons name, had subfolders and non indexed already included and put the source field to the main DNG folder.
The result was almost instant with the 4 files showing.
I then quitted Bridge CC and started Bridge CS6
Since I had not used this for a while and my main folder contained 4500 DNG I set the cache quality icon to embedded only. Selected the same folder and followed the same procedure as in CC.
Naturally it took a bit longer because the files needed to be indexed first, yet after this the result was still the same, the 4 DNG files with the persons name showed in the smart collection.
So on my behalf I can't reproduce your problem and for me it is not a bug also I'm afraid.

  • Preview in browser is not working in Bridge CS6. There also does not seem to be an option to change browsers.

    I am trying to create a web gallery in CS6. I have done this before in Photoshop with CS3, but now that it has changed to bridge it doesn't seem to work for me. There is no preview option within Bridge which is a bit frustrating, but I at least have the "preview in browser" options. Except, when I hit "preview in browser", my browser opens but it just opens to the current window open - I am not getting a preview at all. The only way I can seem to preview is to save the file, then open it in the browser - but this way I cannot play with the various settings and I am finding it very frustrating.
    There should be a way in Bridge to change the default browser. Perhaps my browser settings are not allowing it to open, however, I cannot find an option to switch it open in another browser... also very frustrating.
    This extremely simple web gallery creator, which I have used easily in CS3, seems to be less user friendly in Bridge.
    Any ideas on how to change browsers or fix the browser I am currently using to use the "preview in browser" button?

  • Problem when enterring punctuation in Metadata and Smart Collections

    It seems that Lightroom isn't applying the same logic to punctuation enterred in metadata and smart collections. For example:
    Create a photo with City set to "D'Hanis". Just type those keys, LR will replace the simple straight appostrophe with a nicer angled one. And yes, there is such a town--I have many relatives from there.
    Now create a smart collection matching City is "D'Hanis" (again, just type that from the keyboard). In this case the ' character seems to be left as the plain ASCII version. This also means that the smart collection will not match the metadata.
    Workaround is to select a relevant image, select the metadata and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl-C), and then paste that value into the smart collection dialog box so that the smart collection is truly searching for the value in the metadata.

    Hi,
    At any case the two headers will not be displayed if you select the both "start of table" and "at page break.". Please check whether there is another widow in the form from where the header is displaying.
    Thanks ,

  • AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

    Hi,
    The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
    I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
    The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
    DETAILS:
    - Flash CS6
    - AIR SDK 17
    - System: Windows 8,1
    - iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
    REPRODUCE:
    Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
    Anyone else got that error?

    I was getting this intermittently.   Not a super problem.   A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

  • Zoom not working on bridge CS5

    zoom function not working on bridge, when using zoom slider at base, the jpegs move off right of screen a bit before filling next row,

    There are two places on settings where you can tunr zoom on or off for the trackpad.
    They both need to be on for it to work.
    The first is under: system preferences>trackpad>scroll & zoom, then you just need to chekc the box to turn zoom on. ( this is the one you already have checked i think)
    The second is under: system preferences>universal access>seeing, then check the box that says zoom.
    Hope this helps.

  • For some reason the masking layer is not working in my CS6. I know I have all the settings correct!

    For some reason the masking layer is not working in my CS6. I know have everything set correctly! Please help.

    Hard to guess on this type of question at you are not offering any tip on what you are doing.  A screen shot might help to see how you have things set.

  • Linotype Decoration Pi will not work with InDesign CS6

    Linotype Decoration Pi Font will not work with InDesign CS6. If I buy a new version from the Sdobr store, will it work?

    Has the font ever worked in CS6? If not, did it work in a previous version? Did it ever work in any version of ID using your current OS version? I ask the last question because I helped someone on another forum today that had a font that did not survive migration on their Mac. In their case, the font was selectable but the application would crash exporting to PDF or printing.
    I'm using a PC. It works here.
    It is listed along with the fonts that start with D here.

  • Smart collections not reading correct number of images inside

    I have an issue with smart collections for the first time. I have just set up a new workflow with 4 stages and the number counter next to the collection is counting wrong despite the images being represented in the collection. For example if I click on the smart colection I can see 10 images inside but the counter reads 3. Does anybody have this experience?
    I have optimised my cataloge, however I do have some 20,000 images inside... will this reduce the ability of LR to keep up to running speed with such smart collection operations, giving incorrect readings.
    What are best practices for image numbers and the arguement for running multiple cats. I've just tried in a fresh catalogue and the results were perfect. Is this an inherent limitation of Lightroom? I was under the impression that I could manage my whole archive and current projects under one roof, as it were.
    Thanks,
    Graeme

    I suppose it would be worth optimising the catalog, if you haven't already done so.
    Another idea, may be to make a fresh catalog and "import from another catalog" your current one, into that. This transfers pictures and keywords, collections, smart collections etc. But if there is something "structural" or "infrastructural" wrong with your live catalog, I'd expect that to get left behind by this process - since everyting should AFAIK get re-indexed after being brought in.
    Then you'd go forward with the new catalog, if successful. Doing this makes no change to your present catalog so can do no harm to try - the various pictures' source files are simply shared across both catalogs - single file referenced by both, IOW.
    One thing in your post (which I did not fully understand) suggested to me that your workflow relies at some point, on external metadata being written. If your workflow and smart collections criteria rely on the LR tracking of the status of external metadata, such as "is up to date", I believe this specific aspect has been found quite buggy and unreliable by many people: the metadata status badges etc, being sometimes rather approximate in their correspondence to reality . So if some other criterion could be found on which to base your workflow, that would probably go more smoothly . 
    However, if you do have more than one catalog pointing to just one set of photo source files, that aspect of writing metadata out, will of course be a little problematic - since the latest catalog to have written to the file will "overwrite", and the other catalog(s) will regard that same image as having been externally modified meanwhile.

  • Smart Collections Not-so-smart?

    I have recently started using smart collections to gather various pictures I have taken of works of art.  I have mutliple shots of the same art works, and I want to see all the shots at once in order to delete some and edit others.  There are several hundred files in the collection.  But each time I make any change to a file (edit or delete it), the entire collection must be re-built (perhaps just re-indexed, but, the panel goes blank it must be re-displayed).  This is time consuming and makes working my way through the collection practially impossible.  Is there something wrong, or is just the nature of smart collections?

    Thanks Curt.
    I have avoided the problem by copying all the files in my smart collection into a regular (not "smart") collection.
    I was having problems with regular collections, but I eventually solved this problem.  (You responded to my post on this issue a couple of weeks back.)  Bridge would not remember all the items in a collection after re-starting.  All the files were listed in the collection filelist, but the collection would contain only those at the beginning of the list.  I discovered the solution by examining the files that caused the problem (i.e., if the collection contained only 57 items after re-starting Bridge, I examined the 58th file named in the filelist).  The problematic files all contained apostraphes (') or hyphens (-).  Bridge (and Photoshop) allows these characters in filenames, but the filelist is a straight DOS textfile, and so filenames with these characters caused Bridge to stop reading collections files from a filelist as soon at it came across such a character.  I used batch renaming to get rid of the offending characters, and now Bridge remembers all the files in my collections.
    So, this solved my problem, but it is definitely a bug in the program that Bridge allows characters in filenames that other functions in the program can't recognize.

  • CS6 smart collections quit working

    Bridge CS6 smart collections worked last week, but this week are empty.  I've verified that there *are* still files/photos which should match the criteria.  Troubleshooting didn't help (see screen shot); both "include" boxes are checked; and newly-created smart collections don't work either.  Why? 
    I'm using CS6 Extended (64 bit) running on Win 7 64-bit, both with all applicable updates.  The only thing which I know changed is that Microsoft released a few Windows updates.

    Curt:  Thanks very much for your reply.  I hadn’t tried that exact route, but I had tried Edit > Preferences > Cache > Purge cache.  No success. 
    Omke:  Yes, they sure were present (and are still).
    The winning reply –  from NAPP’s Peter Bauer via its 1-on-1 help desk for members (you too can join, and membership rocks!) – was the following procedure.  It worked like a charm. 
    Gentlemen, my sincere thanks for your considered replies.  I really appreciate them.
    - doug
    Peter Bauer @ the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) had the winning solution:
    --Open Bridge.
    --Use the Keywords panel menu command Export to save your keywords (not in the Bridge or Photoshop folders or their support folders).
    --Quit Bridge.
    --Position your fingers over the Control-Alt-Shift keys.
    --Launch Bridge from the Start menu.
    --Immediately after launching Bridge (not before) press and hold down the three keys.
    --When the small dialog box appears, release the keys and elect to replace the Preferences and purge the Cache.

  • Smart Collection not letting me click Save

    Hello,
    I have no smart collections or regular collections created.
    I am trying to create a smart collection containing all the photographs with the keyword Goofy in them.
    1. I click "Create new smart collection"
    2. Look in: 'my photos' folder
    3. Criteria; select Keywords - contains - and type in Goofy
    4. In results, Match if any criteria are met and both check boxes stay selected.
    5. Click Save.
    When I click save, nothing happens, the window stays open and it doesnt seem like it acknowledge my click.
    Suggestions?

    That is odd.
    I don't know what influence startup scripts have but you might check and see if you have them checked in preferences/startup scripts.
    Is this on an internal dirve?  If external may have permission problems.  Just as a test close Bridge, right click on Bridge icon and choose "run as administrator".
    If that does not work I am out of bullets.  Might want to try reset preferences.  Hold down Ctrl key and start Bridge.  Should get a reset window with 3 options.

  • Smart feed not working correctly

    hello,
    the smart feed are not working correctly in this course page :
    https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/BrowsePrivately/upmc.fr.2857894925. 02857894930
    Modified=01ca6e794f33e660
    I don't understand why...

    C, sorry…I read your posts out of order. I see that you have links to your smart groups after all. My apologies.
    It's as you say, the course pages load up, but I don't see anything in the smart groups. Just thinking out loud here…maybe the search criteria don't genuinely match anything on your site? Perhaps there are actual matches, but you've hidden content with a new credential?…I accessed both pages using the "Unauthenticated" and "All" credentials. My last/craziest guess is that it has something to do with localization…français versus anglais?

  • Smart Sharpen not Working in CC 2014

    Recently I upgraded from CC to CC 2014.  Since then I can't get Smart Sharpen to work.  Lens and motion blur don't work at all.  Sometimes when I choose Gaussian blur it works other times not.
    It's not just me, a friend who has it installed on two computers can't make it work either.
    Any ideas?

    In order to preview .php pages locally, you need a local testing server (Wamp, Xampp, Mamp).  Is yours properly defined in DW CC?  See screenshots.
