Sharing to flickr doesn't push the metadata of modified photos

In iPhoto 09, we can share photo on flickr.
There is a very annoying problem though. If a photo has been modified in iPhoto, the metadata is lost (well, it's not lost really, since it's kept in a database outside of the file) but the file corresponding to the working copy of the photo doesn't contain the metadata of the original file. Although this is very annoying for many reasons, I understand that one photo in iPhoto is not necessarily 1 file. Fine.
The problem is that contrary to when a photo is exported, the metadata is not added to a photo that is shared on flickr (using the new 09 "share to flickr feature").
It works correctly when sharing on facebook though.
Here is a very basic scenario:
Take a photo in "landscape" mode and another in "portrait" mode.
Import them in iPhoto. Normally, the one in "portrait" mode will be rotated automatically by iPhoto so that it is displayed as it was meant to be display (great).
Select those 2 photos and share them on flickr.
The one in portrait mode will not have a "date/time taken" so the value will be the same as for "date/time uploaded". The one in "landscape" mode should be fine.
I think this is because the file that is shared for the picture in landscape mode is still the original file while the one for the portrait photo is a working copy that doesn't contain the metadata.
Is this a bug? Any chances to get a fix?

I believe so.
I have done some more tests and it looks like only the photos that have been rotated automatically because they were taken in portrait mode are affected.
For example, the pictures that I have modified in iphoto are exported AND shared on flickr with all the metadata. So it is not a matter of having a working copy of the original photo or having the original photo file.
It is really only for pictures that were taken in portrait mode.
I have done this simple test:
I import a photo that was taken in portrait mode, and export it with all the possible information check box checked (including location)
=> the exported photo doesn't contain the "generated date" and contains very little metadata (it does contain the location though).
I then go back to iPhoto, and "revert" the photo "to original". It doesn't appear to change, and it still is displayed in portrait mode. But now if I export it, the export contains the full metadata.
If I export a photo that got heavy modifications but that was taken in landscape mode, all the metadata is there.
So it really looks like a bug related to the "portrait" automatic orientation. The metadata is lost somehow...

  • When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing

    When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing the metadata and stop it?

    Thanks Sean,
    I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
    I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

  • The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application...

    Often, I am not sure how to answer that one. Usually, I'm not aware of having made any changes explicitly, either in Lightroom, or externally when I get this prompt. Generally what I'm dieing to know when I see this is:
         "What is the difference between the metadata Lightroom has for it, and the metadata on disk?"
    A feature that could show me what the difference is between the on-disk metadata and the in-catalog metadata would be most appreciated.
    Rob

    Sometimes I know I haven't changed anything in the external file. In this case, the supposed conflict seems to be a bug and I overwrite with Lightroom metadata without exception (but with fingers crossed) - that bug has been reported.
    Other times however, I have edited the file in an external editor, and its possible that the external editor wants to add some information that may be worth having, or it may be that its lost the original information - this is when its a dilemma:
    If I overwrite disk file with Lightroom metadata, I may be losing what the external editor added.
    If I overwrite Lightroom metadata with disk data, I may be losing what Lightroom had and the external editor dropped.
    This scenario has not been reported as a bug, since I don't know if it is one. If I could see the difference between the two, then I'd know.

  • The metadata for this photo has been changed by another application.

    getting this message on random photos....in different folders

    If file not changed outside Lightroom, just save metadata (from catalog to disk) to extinguish. - prolly a bug..
    If Lr still unhappy, then read metadata (from disk to catalog) afterward.
    Of course, make sure everything is backed up before doing such stuff.

  • HT4221 it is rediculous that we will need to edit the metadata on every photo to go to the right order.

    we have no preference to edit how the photos will desplayed on ipd with ios6.
    I looking for hours to take care the photos by alhpabetically order and its not possible with ipad.
    is there any other way?

    Spare yourself the frustration, use Photo Manager Pro. You can drag the photos anywhere you want.

  • Altering the metadata of photos to improve display order?

    I am having a problem organizing my photos. A few years ago, when I was stuck in PC world, I had a computer crash. I was dumb enough at that time to not have a recent HD backup. A friend of mine removed my hard drive and hooked it up as a slave drive to his computer to salvage many valuable photos, etc... This was in 2004.
    So the metadata of all photos up to that date was erased. It was no problem, as at that time I organized my photos through Windows Explorer and was able to file the photos by date manually in the folders.
    Now that I use iPhoto for all photo management, I'm having a problem with the display order of the photos. Photos that were taken in 2002 are displayed in the middle of the 2004 photos, because in the "photo info" screen there are no "original" or "digitized" dates. There is only the "modified date" in 2004 because this is when the photos were recovered from the slave drive.
    Is there any way to change the metadata in these files to make them show up in the correct chronological order? This is a very annoying situation.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    If you also want to change the Capture Date in the original file you can use PhotoInfo to batch change that date. If all in a folder are the same date you can then have them sequentially index by 1 minute per photo or whatever delta time you'd like. But iPhoto won't recognize that date until those files are imported again. If you don't want to reimport all of those files you can change the dates within iPhoto as Terence described for use within iPhoto and use PhotoInfo just to make sure the original files are up to date and later use outside of iPhoto. Just don't rename any of the files or move them via the Finder while updating the dates.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Why doesn't iPhone have the options to import photos directly in Windows 8 like in Windows 7?

    It used to be able to import photos directly into the same folder as the photos are synced under "Last Import" back in Windows 7. But now in windows 8, I have to use Dropbox to import photos, yet Dropbox doesn't have the options to erase photos already imported.
    Any solutions?

    Hi,
    I tried replicating your issue at my end on Safari v5.1.7 and when i navigated to http://www.bmc.org/cancer-center.htm > downloads > cancer support services newsletter , it prompts me to 'open', 'save' or 'cancel' the file.
    When i open it opens properly in Acrobat 9 Pro. And after saving it if I try to open with Reader X, it works perfectly fine with me.
    Try resetting safari, by clicking on the 'gear' icon at the top right corner i.e. tools > Reset safari. It will pop up a new window, if possible keep all the options checked and reset safari. Then retry opening the link and it should work fine.
    Let me know if that helped or not.

  • Message regarding Metadata for this photo has been changed

    We recently transferred from PC to Mac. We now get, over each image, an icon that when you hover over it the message says,  "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" What should our action be please?

    Normally, that message indicates that another program has changed the photo's metadata on disk after it was imported into the LR catalog.  But sometimes LR generates that message spuriously, i.e. it's a false alarm.  In this case, I think it is likely a false alarm, and you should choose Overwrite Settings.  However, before you do so, make sure you have a good backup of your catalog, just in case.  See Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog for how to make a manual backup of your catalog when LR exits.

  • When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

    When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.  I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail.  It used to print fine until recently.  Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

    I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

  • WEC7 Wave 2 - WEDU download fails to find shared source component, doesn't offer "download" option. Cancel is the only option.

    Deja vu, all over again.
    WEDU has spotted the arrival of Windows Embedded Compact 7 Wave 2; Unfortunately, I have installed shared source - and like when Wave 1 arrived, the shared source update doesn't seem to be available via WEDU; last time, this was fixed by a DVD ISO being
    made available on MSDN, so that the shared source MSI could be found by the layout manager from the DVD.
    I don't see any updated DVD ISO on MSDN, so am I stuck, unable to update WEC7 again.
    Does anyone know when the necessary update DVD is likely to tip up on MSDN?

    Same problem here. They need to just fix the download. As part of the update the Shared Source agreement is presented and accepted ... just can't download. I have a valid license from my original install but no longer have an MSDN subscription so a new
    ISO on MSDN would be no help for me.

  • In System Preferences- Sharing- Remote Management the address doesn't reflect the computer name.

    Hi,
    I have a dual boot system with two seperate hard drives, Lion and Snow Leopard.  One drive has a name of mac-pro2 for Lion and mac-pro2sl for Snow Leopard.  Something happened when I rebooted from Snow Leopard to Lion that in System Preferences->Sharing->Remote Management that the computer name had changed to the Snow Leopard  computer name it has a address and name of mac-pro2sl.  I have change the Computer Name: and it worked and was changed to mac-pro2 but Remote Management still has the address of mac-pro2sl and doesn't reflect the computer name.  I can ssh into Lion with mac-pro2sl but I have a conflict with from other computers when I log in with a warning of "Remote Host Identification has Changed".  How do you change the computer name for remote management and ssh?
    I have changed the hostname and it reflects the change when you login, mac-pro2 for Lion.  But when you ssh into Lion it requires mac-pro2sl not mac-pro2.
    When I change the computer name it shows below that the name in "Remote Management: On" "computer using the address mac-pro2sl" is selected but then doesn't change but remains the same when the dialog closes.  How do you change the address to reflect the computer name? Is there a command line utility?
    Thanks for any help.

    If this problem is due to DNS, look in your configuration. What is the number one DNS server address? Is it local, or is it on the Internet at large? Or post the Address here and folks can help you look it up.
    192.168.yyy.zzz
    10.xxx.yyy.zzz

  • My CSS box doesn't seem to be pushing the text out of the way

    Hi guys,
    Have
    a look here
    I've just managed to get CSS boxes working on my site, and as
    you'll see have applied them to the right hand side of a number of
    pages and added links. I looked at the site locally and online last
    night from my machine and everything seemed to be working as
    expected.
    However, I've just got to work and had a look at some of the
    pages and the text box A - doesn't seem to have extended enough to
    surround all of the linked text and B - doesn't seem to have pushed
    the surrounding text out of the way enough so now there's a
    horrible overlapping this going on.
    As I have set the box's height properties to something like
    150 (can't quite remem) I'm assuming this is what is causing A and
    B? So, how do I then set the box's properties so that it will
    shorten or lenghten depending on how much text I put inside it -
    just leave the height property field blank?
    Hope you can help guys!
    Let me know if you need more info.
    Cheers,
    James

    Yes. The answer is to never set the height of a box which
    contains text
    (unless its for a scrolling area). Let the amount of text
    within the box
    determine the height.

  • I am trying to send a picture from iphoto thru sharing with an email but it has an old email address...I changed it but now it says it doesn't recognize the password

    tryin to send a picture thru sharing email from iphoto...it shows an old email i changed it to my current email and when I go to send it says it doesn't recognize the name and password....

    go into keychain and delete the old email address from your keychain (for iphoto). you may want to back up the information if you still want keychain to have a copy of it. so note the password and email or sign in via the web.

  • Can you sync the metadata from Flickr to Aperture?

    Is it possible to sync the metadata from Flickr to Aperture without having previously uploaded the photos using the Aperture plugin?
    I originaly uplaoded all my photos using the Aperture plugin but i had so many issues with it either deleting or re-orgaising my photos that I decided to upload everything manually. I would love however to be able to sync my metadata from Flickr back down to Aperture. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    i push the cloud botton on the appstore to return the past purchased apps but it doesn't work.why?

    Oh gosh, this is ancient history for me.
    First, I remember some sort of third party boot enabler being required to install OSX on some G3s.  Not sure if it included iBook. http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=XPostFacto.htm l
    Second, which exact set of installer discs?  They have to be black colored retail discs, not grey ones which came with a specific model Mac and will only boot that model.
    What are the exact specifications of the computer?  Does it have sufficient RAM?  You're asking a lot for a G3 to run Tiger.
