Saving Metadata time

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why saving Metadata is so long with huge PSD files. It takes some many time and sometimes I get the Windows error message "Delete Write Failed". I would like to know if there really is a link between the Metadata and the PSD size. Do you have answers according this ? Or any ideas/solutions for fixing this problem ?
Thanks

Oh yes you're right, the error message is "Delay Write Failed" because of it takes too much time for saving Metadata.
By the way, I also work on a server, do you think it can be a network issue ?
I think you have it backwards. It is taking too much time to save the metadata because of a disk I/O problem. I don't know if it's because it's networked or because that drive is starting to fail. But I am willing to bet if you take X's advice and save to a local drive you will see that it doesn't take much time to wirte the metadata.
As X explained most of the time the size of the file does not matter. Only the metadata section is updated and the rest of the file is left unaltered. So it takes the same amout of time to update a 20mb file as a 200mb one.

  • Photo "...changed in external application" when saving metadata in LR2

    I am getting occasional error dialogs saying that one or more photos have been changed in an external application when saving metadata. I'm quite certain the photos have not been touched since the catalog was built--two days ago.
    I built an entirely new catalog after installing LR2. I changed some keywords as I not all images were keyworded in the same way. When I save metadata, either for an entire folder or for all files, I get occasional error dialogs about the image being changed externally. I'm quite certain that I changed nothing.
    Running Win XP Pro SP2 + all updates except SP3, LR2, on Xeon 3070 with 3GGB RAM and lots of hard drive space.

    If I didn't think my humor and irony would be misinterpreted as being rude, I might say "Why are you such a troublemaker, by asking this question? Don't you know from reading the forum, that there are multiple opinions about how LR works with changes done outside itself?" Ooops, I actually said it.<G>
    But, seriously, I've had many of the same questions, so I've been following the various threads, and still haven't got a clear and relatively simple answer to "how to work with LR images and catalogs using outside applications, and not mess stuff up?"
    So, again, seriously, thanks for asking. Hoping, like you, to get clearer understanding.
    Regards,

    I was having an issue where each time I would modify a photo, LR would change the Capture Date to the Modified Date. Upon a quick search, I believe the correct way to stop this from happening is for me to uncheck the auto write to XMP which I did. After correcting the myriad of inadvertent date changes, I selected all the photos I was working with and attempted to save the metadata only to get this warning/question: "One or more of these photos has been changed in an external application. Should Lightroom overwrite the settings on disk?" I searched this and I'm confused because I'm not editing the photos in an external application; the only external app that is even remotely touching these photos is Dropbox, which is where my LR catalog is stored. Does Dropbox have something to do with this message or am I missing something? To overwrite or not to overwrite is the question now, I guess, but I'd like to figure out why this question is being posed so I can fix it from the start.

  • Import statement vanishes while saving metadata

    Hi
    I am facing a strange problem.When I am saving metadata the import statements are erased from the //begin import and // end section in the implementation section of a view.But all packages are present.
    Pease help

    Check if there are errors with the metadata of your project, see "Problems" view in Eclipse.
    Another possibility may be an exception in the NWDS, open the "PDE runtime" -> "Error log" view.
    Do you find anything that might cause the problem?

    Could that read " . . . could not access . . ."?  If so, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If not, or if that doesn't help, see #A1 there. Use the TM Buddy widget it details to copy and post the messages here.

    Lightroom is not saving metadata. I have done several things to save and I still get the tag that states is is not saved. I have also created 2 smart collections. One showing metadata has been changed and one showing metadata is not up to date. No matter what I do it is not showing in LR that it is saved. I spent 2 days with Seth Resnick trying to correct this and we re created my catalog. It was ok, until I imported new images and same problem. Now I have a new problem, when I bring image to PS it saves it but does not bring back to LR. Am I the only one out there who has this problem?

  • New Message Saved Multiple Times In Drafts Folder

    I know that while I'm composing an email the program automatically saves a copy of that message to the drafts folder. This copy is updated while I'm composing the message. But recently, as I'm composing a message, the same composition is saved multiple times in the Drafts folder. So, if it took me 10 or 15 minutes to compose an email I'll have at least 4 or 5 separate copies of the email in different stages saved to my Drafts folder. When I send the email it will save a copy in my Sent folder, but won't remove the same email from my Drafts folder.
    Has anyone else had a problem like that? Have suggestons on what's going on and how to fix it?
    Thanks...

    What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your settings in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors for Drafts and Sent?

  • I have recently changed from a macbook to macbook pro and all my files were saved on time machine but some won't open. It says I need permission.. How do I open them?

    I have recently changed from a macbook to macbook pro and all my files were saved on time machine but some won't open. How do I open them?

    Are you trying to open the backup files via the Finder or an application?  If so, that's not how you should access your backups -- use the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    How did you get your stuff on the new Mac? 
    It sounds like you may have skipped the offer to transfer it when your Mac first started up, created a user account, then used the Migration Assistant app instead.  If so, that may be the problem;  doing it that way means you end up with an extra user account, and can lose permission to files on other volumes, especially backups.
    Please clarify just what you're seeing, and whether you still have the old Mac.

    Hi welcome.
    Are you able to furnish information about which files metadata is being saved - RAW files (XMP sidecar files in reality), JPEG, TIFF, PSD etc?
    Are there any patterns to this error message appearing?

  • Problems with saving metadata

    Hello,
    I have a new NAS and have started moving photos across to it.  I have noticed that I am having issues saving metadata. 
    e.g. i move 39 images to the new location, I then received messages saying that meta data is not in sync with file date.  I can correct this but some files metadata cannot be saved.  I get a "photos have read-only access", obviously it's not RO as I just uploaded them.
    If I repeat the save metadata action over and over, the number of affected files decreases until eventually they have all saved.  I can then wait a few minutes and  repeate the metadata save and 10 files or so are read-only again.  Sometimes more, sometimes less.
    Can anybody offer some advice for me on what is happening here?

    is mail saved on time machine if not can I add it thank you in advance

    Yes, at least it is saved on my machine.   iMac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.   Cannot see why it should be any different for Mountain Lion.   Incidentally, you are three updates short according to your profile.

    You have Sophos installed, which is certainly capable of causing panics. However, the panic logged above happened in safe mode, and wasn't caused by any third-party software. That type of panic is usually caused by a memory fault.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for the model.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
