The 'Update Metadata' icon displays even after saving metadata

After upgrading from v3 to v4.3, I opened my catalog (Lightroom made a copy of the file and converted it for v4.3). I didn't do anything to the images, but noticed several displayed the 'Update Metadata' icon. (I should note the 'update metadata automatically' option in the preferences is turned off to save ROM.)
Since I update the metadata manually, it's possible I forgot to save these several files — but when I try to save them, the icon persistently returns within seconds, or when I scroll away and come back.
I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and 165 GB of disc space. The Lightroom files are on an external drive, and the images are DNGs.

For DNG the best solution is to run the 'Update DNG Preview and Metadata' command, which can be found under the Metadata menu. This method builds a completely new DNG file before removing the old file.
As to the cause - two known at present:
1. Auto Exposure or Lens corrections, and
2. Applying Spot Heal corrections with opacity less than 100%
The first is complicated by the fact that it's also associated with updating of the thumbnail previews (basically a timing issue) and has been around for a long time, although not everyone sees it. The second is more recent and much easier to reproduce.
Adobe engineering are aware of these bugs, but I supect that the fix is still some way off. The user level fix for both is as mentioned above, but further develop adjustments can result in it returning.

  • Lightroom 3: file changes not propagating into Finder even after saving metadata?

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased Lightroom 3 and have spent the past couple days educating myself on the program.  I have developed a file in Lightroom and I am now trying to open it in Photoshop Elements 10. I am running into two problems. 
    1. I have defined Elements as an additional external editor.  When I try to launch the photo in Elements, Elements launches, but the file never actually opens in the program. My options are as follows: Edit a copy w/ Lightroom Adj., PSD format, sRGB, 8 bits, Res 240, stack with Orig.. When I click edit, the PSD is created and visible within the Lightroom library.  I can drag and drop the PSD into Elements as a workaround.
    2.  When I look at the (.NEF/.jpg) file in Finder, none of my changes are apparent.  I have saved the metadata both manually, and updated my preferences to automatically update the metadata into an xmp file. This is the bigger problem for me because I would like to edit my photo's in both programs.
    Can anyone shed some light on why I am having these problems?
    Thanks!
    Angelique

    Thanks Lee.  Yes, I knew it was non-destructive, but I thought I saw on a tutorial that if you saved the metadata, it was embedded in the file as opposed to just in the Lightroom db, and that subsequently, other products (like Elements) would/should be able to recognize it.  It makes sense that Finder wouldn't see it, but I do wonder as to why Elements didn't see it (when I finally dragged and dropped from finder). 
    Regardless, I exported to .dng and was able to open it Elements with the changed visible. 
    Thank you so much for your response.  I am going to open a new thread as to why I am having the problem listed in point 1. 
    Thanks again!

  • Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week, and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password.

    Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen.  I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
    Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Can anyone help me, I am trying to create courses using Captivate for Udemy, but even after saving the courses as pdf files, Udemy will not reconize them. NOw I am back to square one because according to Udemy techs, they do not support Captivate files.

    Trying to create my courses using Adobe Captivate, but even after saving the files as a pdf it will not upload in Udemy. What can I do?

    Yep, you lose all interactivity when publishing to video.
    Udemy, Lynda.com, Total Training and other similar models are based on simple "watch the video to learn" type of consumption. The only real interactivity you get is an ability to pause, rewind, fast forward. Basically anything you can do with a video.

  • Fields are still in EDIT mode even after Saving the Transaction in UI

    Hello Experts ,
    We are facing one problem in UI .
    We have added the BLOCK " Subject" in Complaint transaction ( BT120H_CPL) .
    We are able to fill the data in the fields for subject block like " Code, Code Gruppe etc, but even after saving the transaction these fields are in Edit mode .
    Can anyone give some pointers/solution to this ?
    Regards
    VB

    Hello,
    if the fields are in Edit mode or closed is controlled by the attribute VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT of the controller class (*IMPL).
    There are also methods to change this VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT depending on the requirement like "DISABLE_VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT".
    But as i understood you correctly you do not have a own developed view but a SAP standard view. In this case i would create a OSS-Message for the issue.
    But feel free to do some debugging on this VIEW_GROUP_CONTEXT.
    Best regards

  • Illustrator update won't install, even after uninstalling and retrying multiple times.

    Illustrator update won't install, even after uninstalling (using the "Uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS6" app and retrying (using Adobe Application Manager}multiple times. Now I can't open AI CS6 at all.
    The error message I get in Application Manager is:
    "Application could not be found. Restore in case it was trashed/moved to a different volume. Reinstall the application otherwise (U44M1P2B)"
    Help!

    Can you please try installing the Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.
    If that doesn't work then the safest course would be to remove all Adobe Creative Software using the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.  This should then remove the Adobe Application Manager folder also inside Utilities.  Once the software is completely uninstalled and the Adobe Application Manager is removed then you should be able to reinstall from https://creative.adobe.com/.

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

    Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
