Update image metadata programatically

Hi
I developed a plugin, which changes exif information of the image (using a third party program). Is there a way to inform Lightroom programatically to refresh image metadata? Right now I have to right-click on the folder and choose "Synchronize Folder...".

There's at least one ODBC driver for SQLLite http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/, and maybe command line access to the database too
But there's nothing directly through Lightroom, and you won't be able to code Lightroom to refresh EXIF data. There is no coding mechanism to write to EXIF fields or to refresh the image (ie sadly you can't automate Metadata > Read Metadata).
If you write directly to the SQL while LR is open, the best you can expect is that the EXIF will use updated data from the database when you next click on that image in Library. However, you are likely to encounter database locking problems  and stand a good chance of corrupting the database. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here?

  • Unable to update advanced metadata of document?

    Hi All,
    I have create portal application in Jdev 11.1.1.7.0  and integrated UCM. added document service taskflow(document manager).
    I am able to see the  documents and upload/download are working. when I am open document and trying to update advanced metadata of document its show forbidden error in popup.
    here is the  image error link.

    even i am not getting any error in log. can any one please give me resolution on this.
    any help will be appreciated
    Regards
    Sankar

    Hi Jiri,
    I found the solution for this! by enabled OHS on environment,this working fine.
    but I am facing other issue.its again asking for UCM login details for update metadata.(I thought I need to enable SSO .may be will not ask for login) please correct me if am wrong.
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78609236/metadata.png
    I am facing other issue while uploading document into UCM.actually I have create one profile in ucm with certain custom metadata fields.
    when i am uploading I am selecting that profile so similarly its navigating to ucm page (login and its opening check0in form).
    here requirement is.
    1. by default I have provide one profile fixed when uploading?
    2.i have upload multiple documents simply drag and drop.I don't want to goto ucm page and check in like that ect. so simple one I drag and drop when I click on upload i need to upload document as well as need to update custom metadata.
    to achieve this requirement OTB taskflow is sufficient? or do need to customize the taskflow or only through RIDC.?
    Please let me know the possibility and suggest me to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Updated image is not continuing with the State Restore Phase

    MDT 2010 Update 1
    Our MDT guru quit about a month ago.   I've done basic stuff here and there
    But have never updated an image..
    1.  I deployed our current image to a Vmware workstation.  Added about 200 updates. Nothing else done.
         I than rebooted and logged in as local admin and ran litetouch.wsf in a command prompt.
         And ran the "Sysprep and Capture image" task sequence.
         This sysprep'd and imaged with no errors to the captures folder.
    2.  I than moved that updated image to the "Operating Systems" folder on the deployment share.  Renamed the old .wim file and renamed the new one to be the same as the old one..    (Not completely sure this is the correct
    way to do this)  But couldn't find any info on how this is done)
    I than proceeded to reimage a machine with the updated .wim.
    It gets all the way to the State Restore phase and just stops.   After the final reboot.  I logon with the local admin account as usual and it does not continue.   the Minint and _SMSTaskSequence folder are still there..  If
    I let it set for hours nothing happens...
    I compared the BDD.log file for both images.    They seem to be identical up until the State Restore phase is supposed to start.
    I see NO errors in the BDD log file...
    So I am lost as in what to do to try and remedy this issue..
    Info From Sharepoint

    Its the new WIM that is not continuing...
    I did try the import.   and it did the same thing.
    here is the ending of the BDD.log file

  • For all Jedi Masters: How can I update images in ScrollingImagePanels ?????

    I have posted an old topic but now i understand my error.
    Please people!!!! I think it is very simple, but i am not getting results at updating images in ScrollingImagePanels.
    My ScrollingImagePanel in a JInternalFrame, and the JInternalFrame is in a JDesktopPane.
    In my code i try to remove the actual ScrollingImagePanel and create a new other. But the are no references to the ScrollingImagePanel in the else block. The code doesn't compile. Please, see the code below for a good compreension:
    public void atualiza(){
    if (ziboro == false){ //no images displayed yet
         ziboro = true;     
         JInternalFrame teste = new JInternalFrame("teste",true,true,true,true);
    teste.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    teste.addInternalFrameListener(this);
    teste.setLocation(10,10);
    teste.setSize(new Dimension(200,200));
    ScrollingImagePanel FlipVPanel = new ScrollingImagePanel(imagemBufa, 800, 800);
    teste.getContentPane().add(FlipVPanel);
    displayPanel.add(teste);
    teste.setVisible(true);
    teste.moveToFront(); return;
    else{
    System.out.println("Jedi!");
    teste.getContentPane().remove(FlipVPanel);//This part is my problem
    ScrollingImagePanel FlipVPanel = new ScrollingImagePanel(imagemBufa, 800, 800);
    teste.getContentPane().add(FlipVPanel);
    teste.setVisible(true);
    teste.moveToFront();
    return;
    Thank you for your atention!
    Poxa se vc entende portugu�s e quiser e souber me ajudar eu ia ficar agradecido pra caramba!

    Ah! I'm sorry. Probably I couldn't explain you my problem. So let me give you some background.
    We used to generate the preview of all the pages in an InDesign document using the export functionality. But we found that, it's a slow process especially when the document uses images that are huge in size (can even be 2 or more GB). So we decided that since InDesign already has the preview (we can see this even the image link is broken), why shouldn't we use this?
    But while doing this, I realized that I can't get the preview of other pages except the first page.
    So, can we say the script can't generate preview images of all the pages (I'm not talking about the individual images placed in a page), or the script is OK but it can do that only for CS5?
    Best Regards,
    -Arafat

  • How do I correctly update images on my Gallery page in Adobe Muse 2011-2013?

    I am trying to update images on my Gallery page  at: www.glennmcfall.com. When I add new images those new images are not active. When I click on the thumbnail (when I use Preview Page in Browser) the slideshow image appears , when I click on that image a larger image or video should appear but doesn't. I noticed when an image is active an image of a hand appears when hovering over the art/photo/video but this hand does not appear when I am trying to access the largest image. What do I need to do to correct this? I am using Adobe Muse 2011-2013 version.

    Hi
    Can you provide steps to follow for replication ?
    I checked the site , but which thumbnails exactly shows this behavior etc ?
    Thanks,

  • Update Managed Metadata field in SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow for O365

    Hi Guys,
    I need to update the managed metadata field in SharePoint Custom List using Workflow but its not working. I have also tried to use the HTTP WebService POST Operation but no luck.
    Am doing this for a SharePoint Online (O365) Site.
    Has anyone worked on something similar and was able to get it running ?
    I saw a post to create a custom Workflow Activity but I don't have a choice to go with the custom code option.
    http://patrickboom.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/workflow-activity-set-managed-metadata-column/
    I was able to achieve this by creating a SP 2010 based Workflow for O365. Which means that it worked well with SP 2010.
    Is there a different way to do it in 2013 ? I tried almost all options apart from creating custom Activity but nothing worked out. 
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Nutan
    Nutan Sharma

    Hi Nutan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update Managed Metadata field with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint Online.
    As far as I know, there is not an OOB action to achieve your requirement with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint 2013. Customizing a workflow action is a better option to achieve it.  Why didn’t you customize a workflow action as Patrick’s blog?
    In addition, please take a look at the article about Nintex workflow, check whether it is useful for you:
    http://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/setting-managed-metadata-fields-in-a-nintex-workflow#.UykBSf6KDHo
    As this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicessharepoint . More experts will assist you.
    I hope this helps.

  • Iphoto updating images from Mac to iPad

    Hi
    When I have edited photos on my mac in iPhoto, I then plug in my iPad to sync the new edited photos into the same event, but the updated images that I have edited will not update on the iPad? It used to do this but not anymore, not sure if I have done something on my syncing, of which I get really confused with.
    Thank you
    Sheena

    This is a long shot but close iPhoto, go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    Look for a folder named iPod Photo Cache
    Move it to the Trash in the Dock. That's a folder that will be recreated then next time you sync.
    Launch iPhoto and try syncing the iPad again.

  • Muse image metadata and global caption styling

    When will Muse be able to import image metadata and perform global caption styling with accurate positioning for lightboxes and slideshows?

    I've done some testing.
    if images are uploaded to the Facebook Wall, the Comments field that Aperture presents before uploading the image becomes the Description field on Facebook.
    however, if the images are uploaded to a known Facebook Album, the Version Name becomes the Description.
    both of these situations are not logical. in the case of uploading to the Wall, 'Comments' should probably be 'Description'. I'll report them to Apple's bugreport.
    images seem to be scaled down to fit within 2048x2048 pixels.

  • Reading Image Metadata..

    Hi,
    I am converting some PHP pages to JSP. There is an image gallery page where images are being displayed and also the comment and Author names is displayed under that image.Those things are set as image metadata.
    The code for doing this in PHP looks like....
    $exif = exif_read_data($full_file_path, 0, true);
    foreach ($exif as $key => $section)
                                            foreach ($section as $name => $val)
    echo $section['Comments'];
    echo $section['Author'];
    How can I achieve this in java i.e. how can I read author and comment metadata fields using java....

  • Image metadata is not retained(stripped) in lightbox slideshow widget

    How is this corrected

    Can someone at Adobe please confirm that there is no reading of the image metadata.  I thought it was limiting that it was only the caption field available.  I am stunned if this is the case that no metadata is being read.  I am working on a photo web site and got to the point of importing photos with the 'captions' checked.  Huge surprise.  It is hard to believe that something as fundamental as basic metadata fields (caption, title, filename, copyright) isn't pulled with the image and available as needed.  C'mon, you are the company that has Photoshop and Lightroom.  Do you guys talk to the other teams?
    I was looking at Muse galleries as an alternative to the LR web module for 2 reasons:  one is flexibility in layout, and the other is speed, since the LR gallery export cranks along at a glacial pace to the point of being almost unusable.  And this is the LR4 upgrade; much slower than LR3.  See the LR threads on this if you're interested.  Still waiting for that fix.
    The thought of manually entering caption info to a dozen galleries, each with 20 or 30 images, is nonsense.  This makes Muse a non-starter for photo galleries.  This is basic capability.  Adobe should be embarrassed that LR4 doesn't do what it should in this regard, and that the feature needed don't even exist in Muse.  Everyone expects a few bugs in the early days of a new software, but not missing essential, fundamental features to make web galleries useful. 
    Rant now over and I will happily apologize if the metada fields are, indeed, available.  Please explain how.  Thanks.

  • Image Metadata Editor

    I have been looking for inserting descriptions into my pictures. Unfortunately, there isn't any option to edit Metadata in File Explorers (I tried Thunar and Nautilus). I wouldn't like to have a photo gallery software just to do that, and, by the way, I couldn't find any of those that allows me to edit metadata in a straight-forward way. I have to navigate through a lot of menus in order to do that.
    Basically, I was looking for a plugin or other software that enhanced the "Image" tab on Thunar, so I could see and edit all file metadata there. Honestly, I don't know how do you guys keep your photo albums organized without this feature.

    I've found Shotwell pretty straightforward to edit tags. However, I personally also use feh + dmenu + a script I found somewhere to view and edit metadata. The latter method I find quite speedy when I've imported a bunch of photos. The script is
    image-metadata.sh:
    #!/bin/bash
    if [ $# -lt 2 ]
    then
    echo -e usage: "$0 <action> <filename>\n actions: edit-comment, edit-tags"
    exit -1
    fi
    action=$1
    file=$2
    if [ "$action" == "edit-comment" ]
    then
    commentText=$(echo | dmenu -t "$(exiv2 -Pt -g Exif.Photo.UserComment $file)")
    if [ $? -ne 1 ] # not aborted
    then
    if [ -z "$commentText" ]
    then
    exiv2 -M"del Exif.Photo.UserComment" $file
    else
    exiv2 -M"set Exif.Photo.UserComment $commentText" $file
    fi
    fi
    fi
    if [ "$action" == "edit-tags" ]
    then
    exiv2 -Pt -g Iptc.Application2.Keywords $file > /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
    selection=$(exiv2 -Pt -g Iptc.Application2.Keywords $file | dmenu -sb "#000" -nf "#aaa" -nb "#222" -sf "#509ba6" -fn 'Deja Vu Sans Mono-14:bold' -l 10)
    if [ -n "$selection" ]
    then
    exiv2 -M "del Iptc.Application2.Keywords" $file
    while read keyword
    do
    if [ "$selection" != "$keyword" ]
    then
    exiv2 -M "add Iptc.Application2.Keywords String $keyword" $file
    else
    deleted=true
    fi
    done < /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
    if [ -z $deleted ]
    then
    exiv2 -M "add Iptc.Application2.Keywords String $selection" $file
    fi
    fi
    rm /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
    fi
    if [ "$action" == "show" ]
    then
    comment=$(exiv2 -Pt -g Exif.Photo.UserComment $file)
    exiv2 -Pt -g Iptc.Application2.Keywords $file > /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
    echo -n Comment: $comment, "Keywords: "
    first=true
    while read keyword
    do
    if [ $first == "false" ]
    then
    echo -n ", "
    fi
    echo -n $keyword
    first="false"
    done < /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
    echo
    rm /tmp/._image_keywords.txt
    fi
    It requires exiv2, iptc, and dmenu. (Also ttf-dejavu, but you can edit out that font choice ) The script is not mine; unfortunately, I cannot remember where I found it.
    Then in .config/feh/themes, put
    tag --action2 ";/path/to/image-metadata.sh edit-comment %f" --action1 ";/path/to/image-metadata.sh edit-tags %f" --info "/path/to/image-metadata.sh show %f"
    Browse pictures with "feh -Ttag *.jpg" for instance, then press 1 to edit tags, press 2 to edit comments.
