Smart Collection for images with changed metadata not written to disk?

The thumbnails in the grid view have a little icon in the upper right corner when the metadata for the file has been changed but not written to the XMP (or whatever) files.
Is it possible to create a LR2 Smart Collection, or maybe a filter, that will find all such images?

Dave, good to know that Ctrl-S on everything will write it all out.
John, I *hate* being blind about what is going on. So I can Ctrl-S on everything and get it all written out. But I can't tell how many images I have changed, or perhaps also sort them by type so I can see what kinds of files will have to be rewritten. I can't even tell if I've remembered to do a Ctrl-S and whether there are images with data only in the catalog and not in the XMP etc. files.
I'm one of those who are more comfortable if everything that can be recorded in XMP is recorded there. But I don't want to leave auto-write to XMP on while re-organizing everything.

Can I create a Smart Collection for images with Paths?

I'd like a folder that automatically collects any image i have in my library in which i've drawn a vector clipping path in Photoshop. Is this possible?

I couldn't figure that out.
I was hoping the file would contain a metadata call that said "Path: yes" or something like that on which I could set up the smart collection but I couldn't find one either in Lightroom or Finder.
It's possible this piece of metadata doesn't exist, and if so I'll solve my problem with keywords, but I wanted to ask before i assumed.

Searching for images with no keywords in large catalogs - LR5

I have a catalog with several thousand images and 98% have keywords. Is there any way to do a global search for the images which I may have missed adding keywords to?

Thanks Geoff, that was very helpful!

I think the easiest would be a Smart Collection like this:

Create a smart folder for images imported "TODAY"

Is it possible to create a smart folder for images imported today? The only close option I have been able to find is by selecting the "import session" option, but that forces me to select from a series of sessions that have already been imported. I'd like to be able to have a single folder, day after day of what I imported today almost like the iPhoto "last roll" folder. Possible?

There is a Filter Rule "Import Session" but as implemented (as you discovered) it isn't easy to use.
What I do is:
. add "Import Session" to the "List -- Expanded View" Metadata Overlay
. click "Photos"
. change to List
. change to Expanded Overlay if needed
. click the column header "Import Session" (note that this adds "Import Session" to the sort drop-down)
. change back to Grid view as needed
I use this to confirm imports, and to find any that I mis-placed.
HTH.

Smart collection of images that have been printed

I'd like to create a smart collection of images that have been printed. Is there any way to do this? If not, is there a way to search for images that have been printed?
Separately, one my smart collections screens by edit date so that I can find out what I have worked on recently. However, it also picks up everything I shot and imported recently, even if I haven't edited the images. Is there any way to filter these out?
I'm using LR 5.3 for Windows.
Thank you,
Robert

Here's how I get there. This filters images that have had Develop adjustments within the last three weeks.

The software for communicating with ipod is not installed correctly..

Everything used to work fine on my laptop. I'm fairly sure it was after I had uninstalled Zune crap from my laptop when my iTunes started messing up and saying "the software for communicating with ipod is not installed correctly".
I've searched the whole internet front to back about this error and most things I find are from 2005'ish. I've tried changing the registry permissions, reinstalling itunes, clearing out everything that has to do with itunes, doing all the msconfig things, manually starting the ipodservice.exe.
I still cannot figure it out and I've had this error for like 3 months. Only thing that I notice that MIGHT be odd is that I'll have ipodservice.exe running (from System) and when I open iTunes another ipodservice.exe will open (from my username) and then close after a few seconds and then I plug my ipod up and bam, the error from above comes up. Anyone have any clue? Like I said everything worked fine at one point!
Thanks!

Another thing is that iPod Touch shows up fine...I've tried every other ipod from older 4gig Nanos to 120gb Classics and none of them work..this is really annoying!

What would cause images with captions to not show up?

Still struggling with this issue. Images with captions are not showing up on the iPad preview.
Please help!
Thx!

Hi Andrew,
I have been struggling with this for days. I am working on it with Apple. We re-installed the software, I re-installed OSLion, I re-started in safe mode, looked at startup items, cache, etc.
Now I am about to create a partition and test again to determine if the issue is with another software program on my system.
BTW, I noticed this starting AFTER I upgraded to 1.1, but maybe that is a coincidence. Do you know if it started for you after the update? ALSO, check your help screen in IBA. Does it look the attached? This started happening at the same time as the caption/image issue.
Please stay in touch as you the first person other than myself (that I know about), who is having this issue.
I look forward to hearing if you have the Heklp issue.
THANKS!
Belinda

In iPhoto, how can I export images with the metadata - including the title and caption information - intact as part of the image?

My new IPOD "the software for communicating with ipod is not installed pro"

The message "the software for communicating with ipod is not installed properly keeps on showing up no matter what I do.
I have removed the program several times and reinstalled it several times. I have updated my windows. I have tried just about evertying. I have wasted several hours on this ipod, I am about to return it and be over with it..
I have even went to the homesite to download the updates and the newest version of ipod manager.
My ipod charges from the USB port but I think it is recognising it as a seperate drive.
I dont know what else to do.

Filter or Smart Collection for Exported Images?

I want to keep track of the images I export. (in most cases to skydrive). Can I set up a filter or criteria for a smart collection to do this?
Thanks

You perhaps have the free uploader rather than the full plug-in which costs about $10 and can be used with the LR Publish Service function which identifies modified photos that need re-publishing and gives you a record of what has been uploaded, in the form of a collection.
See this link, but you need to go directly to the developer’s website for the latest version.

Smart collection of image files linked to InDesign documents?

I would like to create a Smart Collection that finds all of the image files linked to InDesign documents in a specific folder.
I am the yearbook advisor at school and I need to easily find all of the images that have been placed so that we don't reuse images by mistake.
I have no scripting experience, so I can't create something myself, and I haven't been able to find anything that does such a thing.
Many yearbook design software programs do offer something like this - indicating that an image has been used previously.
I guess it would need to look at the metadata of the InDesign Files for the Linked Files and then pit all of the files found there into a Smart Collection. Ideally, I would be able to further limit it by file type. ANd to not include Master pages if so desired (although that would just be a bonus!)
I greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can give.
Thanks!

I'd be glad to give it a shot, even though I'm a beginner (and I am afraid I am out of my depth), but i'm missing something obvious because I could download and install the script, but if I try to open it to edit it, I just get gobbeldygook. Any chance you could paste the script here?
Again, I really appreciate your help.

DBAdapter polling for new or changed records not issuing callback?

I have a process which includes a partner link with a database adapter.
The database adapter is to poll a table for new records using an external database server.
I have no relationships setup, it's a single-table query.
The adapter is configured to delete rows after they are read.
I have the receive process of that partner link tied to a receive activity and its own input variable assigned.
My process compiles and deploys successfully. When I initiate the process through the BPEL console, the instance of the process waits at the receive activity and nothing happens, even after I manually add records to the table being polled. (which do get deleted, apparently by the partner link.)
I have other dbadapter partner links in the same process using the same connection that work fine, specifically using procedure execution and custom sql queries.
I can't find any errors or warnings about this, and the interactions manager in the BPEL Console allows me to manually send a message to the instance, allowing it to continue.
The application server is 10.1.3.1.0 and I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0.4066

When I set activation logging to debug, I get the following in domain.log

From looking at this it may be that the callback to the receive activity is not occurring?

Second follow-up:
I'm still having this issue but must give up on troubleshooting.
Documentation on polling adapter says nothing about handling callbacks, I've been trying to use correlations here with no luck. I'm also not seeing any documentation about setting up correlations for use with the database adapter.
now the issue I'm having is that the inbound database adapter is still polling my table and deleting records, even though I've undeployed my process.

I did not. Currently the manual recovery area is empty. I've tried re-deploying my process and am now getting the following in my logs (all debugging on):

As reflected in the log messages, the process is automatically turned off. Turning it back on is ineffective, the server turns it back off with the same exception.
This is a separate issue, but I'm not seeing much reason for this to be happening either. I've scrapped the process and started over, using my own BPEL process that simulates what I would expect that the dbadapter is supposed to do when it's configured to poll for records.

Smart collection containing matches with only two keywords

I have added keyword tags to all my photos with the names of the people in the picture. I then created a smart collection with two names in it. For example Jessica and Ryan. That collection then returns all pictures that have Jessica or Ryan in them. I am trying to get pictures than contain both Jessica and Ryan, but not other names. The only way I have figured out how to do this is by entering in the other names in the doesn't contain field. That seems like a lot of work when I have many other names, and it must be updated each time I add new keywords. Is there an easier way?

There's no way built-in to LR to do what you want without listing every keyword you want to exclude. The Any Filter plugin lets you do it, though you need to understand boolean expressions. See the "Exactly one person in the keywords" example for how to match exactly one person. To get exactly two people, you'd define the filter:
All of
Explicit Keywords = Ryan
Explicit Keywords = Jessica
Explicit Keywords all items
Some of
Keyword = Ryan
Keyword = Jessica
None of
Keyword subkeyword of People

Smart Collection for flagged doesn't update

For some reason flagging new entries doesn't reflect in the smart collection. Even after recreating it always picks up the same 32 entries and disregards others. I tried using both "any" or "all" conditions, even though it's the only one.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Better SOP for images with image captions?

Hi,
FM 8.04, Win XP.
When I work with images that shall have image captions, I use a pre-defined one row, one column table format that has a a table caption set to below. I then import the image into the one cell.
However, in some cases I would like images be anchored at bottom of columns, rather than at top of columns (or floating). The thing is that since the anchored frame sits inside a table cell, it is the table's placement that I must change. And tables do not have the "At bottom of column" option.
Any suggestion for a better standard of procedure for "At bottom of column" images, with retained caption functionality?
TIA,
/Mats

Mats,
You could always just use only anchored frames and add an additional
text frame to the anchored frame in the proper location relative to
the inserted graphic. Since the anchored frame is part of the flow,
the included text frames in these behave correctly with respect to
autonumbering and being picked up in the proper in generated lists.
If you create the styled anchored on a Reference page (in a text frame
of course) then you can quickly get at the proper "template" of what
you need using copy & paste.
