Updated Ratings, Labels and Flags in LR3?

I understand in LR2 that ratings and labels are global -- apply them in any folder or collection and they will appear everywhere and that flags are local -- apply them to a folder or collection and they will only appear in that local folder or collection.
Is this still true in LR3? Has there been an update so that individual photos in specific collections can have can have their own specific stars separate from the original star in their original folder?

Flags remain local!
No to your other question.

Exporting Ratings, Labels, and Keywords to DNG/XMP

I am a long-time Lightroom user in search of an efficient iPad rating and labeling solution. I've recently found PixelSync which provides an amazing UI just for that, but syncing to Aperture. So I got that to see if I can export my ratings, labels, and keywords, and also compare Aperture with Lightroom.
Following Peter Krogh's excellent workflow idea. I prefer to sync my metadata edits back to DNG specifically for the purpose of using it as the package tying the RAW iimage and ratings, keywords, etc. Lightroom syncs such data back to DNG upon demand (a menu choice).
Aperture has a menu item to sync IPTC data back to master, and I see a DNG is updated in some way. Yet I don't see the rating, not label, updated, when syncing to Media Pro (or any other EXIF viewer which reads DNG). There are also some presets which have checkboxes next to IPTC fields; selecting Rating and Label as checked in several of them did not lead to them appearing in the DNG though.
I've bought the Lightbox XMP export plugin, but that wants to run in 32-bit mode, and though does its job, you have to select the location for the export. Similarly, exporting master from Aperture, I could do IPTC4XMP, but then again I have to select the location and I don't care about the RAW. Export Metadata menu item again asks for output location and exports in plain text.
While all this seems scriptable, I wonder is there a way to just sync back to DNG?
Cheers,
Alexy

OK -- the problem was with my EXIF viewer, Media Pro. When I checked the DNGs in Adobe Bridge, I see the ratings are in fact exported from Aperture vie the Metadata=>Write IPTC Metadata to Master. Keep in kind that I found all possivle "IPTC presets" dialogues and checked Rating and Label checkboxes in them, so I'm not sure it will work out of the box.
Now there's a great rating workflow with DNG=>Lightroom AND Aperture=>iPad rating=>Aperture=>DNG=>Lightroom.

Lost labels and flag in Aperture 3

All of a sudden, using Aperture 3, my color labels and flags disappeared from my split view,
I've seen this once before, but I can't find out how to turn in the view of both the color label and orange flag in the upper right corner.
Thanks, !

"View ▹ Metadata Display ▹ Switch ... ".
If that doesn't work, customize the Metadata Overlays at "View ▹ Metadata Display ▹ Customize".
There are some posts on this forum as well.
Note there is a Tool Strip icon for this as well. The Tool Strip is in the bottom border of both the Browser and the Viewer. The icon depicts a paper luggage tag with a 5-pointed star on it.
If that doesn't help you straighten things out, post back.

ODI 11g SCD@ IKM is not updating End Time and Flag

I am implementing this IKM from Oracle ODI 11g and after executing it inserts a new row/dimension [which is correct] but sets the flag indicator for old and new ros both to '1' and Ending Timestamp value is not set for old row [I was expecting the ending timestamp will be updated ot todays timestamp but not happening]. I follwed all the steps mentioend in SCD2 [in this forum] and made the column behaviour to appropirate SCD Behavior. I do not have any "Update Row on change" but all the details are "Add row on change" apart from Starting Timestamp, ending timestamp and Current Indicator flag.
Can any one help me with this issue? Please let me know what details you need to debug or make analyze it.
Thank you and appreciate in advance for your help

I guess that is correct. 'historize old rows' was missing in my SCD2 [I have copied it from Oracle SCD2 and might have removed that command [??] But after your response, I checked and used the original SCD2 and it's working after fixing few issues with End Date in my data. Thanks .
'Mav (watch TopGun?)' ofcourse Yeah!!

Need Help to update the labels in the GUI syncronously - Swing application

Hello everyone,
I need some help regarding a swing application. I am not able to syncronously update the counters and labels that display on my Swing GUI as the application runs in the background. But when the running of application is completed, then the labels on the GUI are getting updated, But I want update the labels and counters on the GUI syncronously as the code executes... below I am giving the format of the code I have written..............
public class SwingApp extends JFrame{
        // here i have declared the label and component varibles like...
                  private JTextField startTextField;

public Swing(){
//I used gridbaglayout and wrote the code for the GUI to appear....
startButton = new JButton("Start Downloading");
    startButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        try{
             actionSearch();   //actionSearch will contain all the code and the function calls of my application...........

    constraints.insets = new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5);
    layout.setConstraints(startButton, constraints);

Please its a bit urgent...............
Thank you very much in advance

First off, note that this question should have been posted in the Swing section.
GUI events run in a separate thread (the AWT / Event Dispatch Thread) than your program.
You should be invoking AWT/Swing events via SwingUtilities.invokeLater().
If for whatever reason you want to have the program thread wait for the event to process
you can use invokeAndWait().

Bridge CS4 looses my labels and ratings if edited in Camera RAW

Hi there. This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I make any errors of normal posting procedure. I'm hoping someone might be able to identify this problem please.
I am using Bridge CS4 v.3.0.0.464 and Photoshop CS4 v.11.0 and Camera RAW 5.0.0.178
On Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit service pack 2, and working mainly with jpg files from a Nikon D300s
I've noticed recently the following behaviour. If I label and/or rate some photos in Bridge, and then open those photos via Camera RAW, and then make adjustments to those photos in Camera RAW and open them directly from there into Photoshop, then the original file in Bridge looses all it's rating and label info, and shows a new modified date and time as of that moment.
This only seems to happen if I actually edit the photo in Camera RAW, I do not ask to save it (and remember these are JPG files so as I understand it any changes in Camera RAW would not be saved unless I ask to resave the file itself) but to open it directly into Photoshop (and I then save the finished work as a copy to a different place from Photoshop) but the act of making an edit in Camera RAW seems to affect the original file settings in some way, and that looses the labelling etc.
However, just a couple of days ago something even odder happened. I opened Bridge, navigated to a recent (and recently labelled) folder to browse some photos (at this point I had not opened either Camera RAW or Photoshop and was not doing editing of any sort). When I got to the folder I wanted and Bridge started to display the thumbnails, I immediately heard my hard drive working very hard, and watched as over the course of a few seconds all my labels, ratings etc, were erased from the files in that folder, you could actually see it happening in real time in the filter pane as the number of red-labelled photos counted down from 30 to 0, and the modified dates for those 30 shifted from two days before to the current time/date. it only happened for the labelled and/or rated photos, the others remained unchanged, with their modified dates still the same as when I created the folder a few days before. This has so far happened to me just once, a couple of days ago, it was as if Bridge was somehow refreshing a cache or something, and that caused it to to clear all the changes I had made.
Anyway, I couldn't really find any reference online or on these forums to that specific behaviour. After reading some slightly similar problems online I tried a few changes to settings. Allowing Bridge to automatically export the cache to folders where possible, and making sure that the main Adobe cache location is writable (not read only) in windows folder settings. However, although I have not yet had a repeat of the weird incident above, that hadn't happened before either so I cant really claim that I've cured it. But moreover the issue of loosing labels/rating when editing with Camera RAW still persists consistantly even after those changes, so that is definitely still a problem
Can anyone shed any light please? if it's a known problem, a flaw, or maybe (hopefully) can be sorted with some settings that I have missed.
Thanks for any help
Best regards
Will

Welcome to the froum. Your submittal was great.
I don't know if this will fix your problems, but you need to update to the current versions and see where that takes you. Click on Downloads/updates at top of page.
You have Bridge CS4 v.3.0.0.464 and Photoshop CS4 v.11.0 and Camera RAW 5.0.0.178. Don't know what current version of Bridge is, but you need PS v. 11.0.1 which fixed a number of mistakes. Also, the current RAW is 5.6 I believe. I am still on CS3.

Edits, keywords, and rating can be stored in the XMP file. This has the same name as the file and needs to move with the file or you will loose info. If you move or rename the file, and don't use Bridge, this file could be left behind. You can see this file in Bridge, if you have show hidden files clicked in View. You can look at it in Windows Explorer if you have "show hidden files".
Check to see if you have an XMP file in the new location. If not then do you workflow in stages and see if you have an XMP file after edits before you save it to another location.
Hope this helps.

Bridge labels and ratings problems involving Premiere Pro

I recently went on vacations and took a lot of video with my DSLR. I took a lot of time to organize the footage by batch renaming as well as adding labels and ratings within Bridge. I had assumed that adding this kind of metadata would stay with the clips upon importing to Premiere Pro but found today when I imported all of my footage the ratings and labels did not appear in Premiere but still appeared in Bridge. I couldn't find any helpful information on this topic online so any help that could be provided would be much appreciated.
P.S. All of the footage was recorded to AVCHD .mts filed on a Sony A65 DSLR and im using a 2011 I7 iMac not sure if this information is usful but I thought it couldn't hurt to provide it

LR not getting labels and ratings from Bridge - SOMETIMES?

I'm starting to feel a bit masochistic 'cause I just keep trying to use Lightroom... But, there are enough things that are so much easier to do in Bridge that I still use it for everything but Lightroom's Develop module...
Anyhow, in Lightroom I loaded a directory of images (about 70). In Bridge I examined the same directory of images and rated some with 5 stars, and some of those with GREEN...
Back to LR... None of the changes show up. Looked around LR for something that would tell it to update the images in its library. The only thing I could find was the metadata/XMP/Import XMP thing, and that didn't do anything (is there something else in there that I'm just missing?). Finally, I DELETED the whole directory, and imported the images again. STILL no labels or ratings. I even shut down LR and Bridge and restarted LR to see if that'd help... Then did the metadata/XMP/Import again. Still no change.
Now I KNOW this has worked before, 'cause I've seen the images with the labels and ratings... Any ideas how come it refuses to work on these images?
BTW: If I change a label or rating in LR it shows up immediately in Bridge.

Tried that as part of the "how do I get metadata from Bridge into here" activity... On this set it still didn't bring in the changes... It may just be an aberation but its really bizarre to have different sets of images appear differently... But, since I just got killed by LR and its "Out of Memory" message I'm back to square one again anyhow.

IPod Classic updating ratings and not play counts in iTunes

I am currently using an iPod classic purchased in 2010 with iTunes 10.5.3.3. however I encountered the same issue on 10.6.1 which made me think that if I downgraded that it would solve my problem but it hasn't.
Here is my problem. Over the past two weeks, I noticed that when I synched my iPod my recenlty played playlist number went from 835 to 720. I typically listen to over fifty songs throughout the course of the day. I have playlist set up to select songs based on a last played date. Last played not in the last 14 days. I last synched my iPod yesterday and I recently setup a new library that is less than 2 weeks old.
On the iPod everything was working fine. When I synched the iPod I noticed that the playlist reverted back to yesterday's status and that my ratings had changed but not the last played date and play counts did not update. Hence breaking the smart playlist functionality of Top 25 Most Played and any other playlist based on play counts. Also my podcasts are not updating as well. I listened to a podcast today and it is still showing up as new after syncing with iTunes.
I noticed that if I do a hard reset (Menu+center button) and resync then the playlist update from the point of the last. I have not encountered this problem until upgrading to 10.6.1.
I even went has far as deleting the itl files and letting iTunes create them again based off the XML and still the problem persists. I even created a new library and added new songs and the problem persist.
I would like to know a good way to getting the sync functionality to work properly and not just sync my ratings. Has anybody encountered this problem?

The rules for my recently played list is as follows:
Last Played is in the last 2 weeks
Kind does not contain video
Live updating
Oh and I forgot the Match all is checked.
I have changed my playlist from Apple's default playlist of:
Match all
Last Played is in the last 2 weeks
Media Kind is not Podcast
I have found that Media Kind balloon breaks live updating on iPod Classics but the Kind or Genre balloon does not. In the past I could go two to three weeks without syncing as I have over 100 Gigs of music and sometimes could go into recently played to find a song quicker because it would be at the top. Now that isn't the case. Most of my smart playlist start with Last Played is not with a certain range so I can listen to new songs and I rate songs as I play them so I can get rid of 1 & 2 star songs off my library at a later date. However when I sync my device the songs reappear on certain smart playlist with no play counts but updated ratings. Like Mix Rap or 4&5 star unplayed.
For example, Mix: Rap
Match all is checked
Last Played is not in the last 14 days
Last Skipped is not in the last 7 days
Rating is not 1 star
Rating is not 2 star
any
Genre contains Hip-Hop
Genre contains Rap
Limit to 25 items Random
Live updating
I am going by the recently played list because I wiped the entire library as of April 3, 2012 so everything I play is still within the two week window. I have a few other playlist that are not updating after syncing. Meaning they are updating on the device and revert after syncing with iTunes.
After writing my post last night I did a clean install of 10.6.1.7. By clean install I mean I deleted all information from my Users\AppData folder related to Apple Computer in Local, Roaming, and LocalLow. I also deleted my .itl, itdb, and sentinel files and imported my Library xml file. I also performed a super fix on my iPod classic as well. I played a few songs last night and they seem to be running fine. But that's how it always starts out.
Any feedback would be helpful....Thanks for the response turingtest2 by the way

Massive Update of Return Vendor flag and creation of Customer Data

Dear.
For many vendors I need to run a massive update of return vendor flag of purchasing data and creation of the linked customer.
I have tried to create a batch input recording using LSMW but the system send an error message WY164 It is not possible to copy data from field 'Returns with shipping proc.'
How can I solve this problem ?
Or do you know another solution to run a massive update of return vendor flag of purchasing data and creation of the linked customer ?
Thanks

hi,
Pls go through the SAP note 447070...
This may solve the problem...

Reminders are not appearing in Mail - and its the only way to set labels for flags.

Every place I look for information about how to set the labels for flags in Mountain Lion Mail shows that they're editable once you click "show" next to "REMINDERS" in the sidebar. However, my sidebar has no "REMINDERS" heading, and there seems to be no preference or option anywhere related to this. I upgraded from Snow Leopard today; I had reminders showing (as "To Do's"). I really really want to change the labels on the flags because they're useless otherwise.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Flags and reminders are no longer coupled in Mountain Lion. So I'll try to explain how to see your flagged messages.
You can see a sidebar in Mail that looks like this. Yours may not display the "Flagged" row yet. I'll explain that in a minute, If you don't see this sidebar, make it visible by clicking that arrow on top that would say "Show" if the sidebar were invisible (it says "Hide" here):
You can flag a message by clicking the "Flag Selected Message" in your favorites bar, which should appear just above the screenshot. Once you have at least one flagged message, the "Flagged" row shown above will appear.
I hope this helps.

Clip Label and Name not automatically updating in the timeline

I just finished a major project, so now it's time to take the plunge and upgrade Premiere. So far, it's going well, but clip labels and names aren't automatically updating in the timeline when I change them in the bin. Is that something that only works on new projects (rather than old projects updated in this new version)? Or...?

Go to the menu File > Project Settings > General and when the Project Pane opens, check the box for "Display the project items name and label color for all instances"

Losing folder labels and ratings

This has been a very frustrating problem that I've had for years, now, and across several versions of Adobe Bridge. In a nutshell, Bridge seems to randomly lose labels and ratings on folders.
Further information: I am not moving nor copying these folders. If anything, I periodically add some files to some of them, but there are several that I don't even touch. One day, I'll give some of these folders a label and a rating, and the next day, some of them have lost their labels and all of them have lost their ratings. Why is this? I know that labels and ratings are primarily meant for individual files, particularly images likes JPGs, but I've never seen anything that says they cannot be used with folders. Also, note that none of my labels and ratings have disappeared from files; this only seems to be a problem with folders. Please help me to understand and fix this issue.

Also, note that none of my labels and ratings have disappeared from files; this only seems to be a problem with folders. Please help me to understand and fix this issue.
Can't help you much because I never have used labels and ratings for folders. However, like a Raw file, folders itself are not capable of storing XMP metadata, while DNG, jpeg, tiff PSD etc, can store this metadata in the file itself. When you rate or label a folder in Bridge this metadata is stored in a hidden file with a document icon called ".BridgeLabelsAndRatings".
You can check yourself on a folder with subfolders you have not rated before, in Menu View check the option to show hidden files, rate or label one folder and this file will show up. So either something has gone wrong with this file or you did unknowingly removed it somehow, just my guess.

URGENT: labels and ratings lost from CS3 to CS5

Hi, I have been using Bridge CS3 for categorize my photos and i have instaled CS5 recently (i have the two now).
All the ratings and labels were lost. In jpeg files, in CS3 i can see the rating in the xmp metadata "rating" (in file info, advanced) but not in CS5 (the xmp metadata is there but without "rating"). In CS5 i can rating the photos with problems.
If i export (save) xmp from jpeg in CS3:

The only difference being xmp is being used instead of xap. I have also looked at CS4 and it is the same as CS5, except they are in reversed order but still show correctly.
I wonder what version of Bridge you have for CS5 mine is .. 4.0.4.2
Sorry I can't help.

Labels and Ratings Unavailable in Bridge

I'm able to apply neither labels nor ratings to pictures in Bridge. Additionally, although the Labels and Filters are offered under Select Filter Categories, neither actually appears in the Filter list. Seems to affect CS5 now as well.

Can you right click an image from within bridge and goto the label menu, and select a label from there?
Also to add a rating using a keyboard shortcut, press CMD-1 - 5 depending on the rating level you'd like to rate an image.
Both labels and ratings can be found under the "Label" menu as well.
Once labels and rating have been applied, the filter categories will become available.
If no labels or ratings are found, then the filter categories will not be visible.
If this doesn't help, let us know what else you're seeing, and what OS you're using
thanks.
