Writing to XMP file or one file per folder?

I am about to start using LR2. Used to using PS and Bridge. I use DNG and tiffs, and jpgs. I am used to having one file per folder for bridge's info. I do NOT want an XMP file per picture file. How does LR2 do this? I have read a few posts about XMP files and such. Is there a setting to make one file per folder, or does LR2 make XMP files for each picture?

>XMP sidecars are only created for proprietary raw files (eg CR2, NEF, etc) and only when you save metadata out to file.
Good, so since I do not use proprierary RAW's, I am safe. Thanks. I do plan to save metadata to the files, so in the future, other programs can use it.

  • Ex post data writing in XMP files

    Dear all
    Usually, I do not use the option to include lightroom modifications in xmp files or something like that but trust on the catalogue as storage utility for all information.
    Nevertheless, I read a few articles recommending to use XMP capability of LR in order to keep all information on how a raw file has been treated in order to come to the actual picture - irrespective of the existence of LR.
    Is there any chance to use an ex post process that basically checks all information on the files I have in LR and creates automatically the corresponding XMP files for all photos?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Best regards
    dornkaat

    Those articles aren't of much value! The xmp files are only useful for that purpose if you open the files in Bridge/ACR. or if you open them in a text editor and can figure out what the code means. Their value is only for opening the files directly in Bridge/ACR or for exchanging keywords and IPTC metadata with another program. Note as well that the XMP doesn't contain all your work - eg history steps, virtual copies. So use the catalogue, and focus on backing it up anf testing that you could restore it if disaster strikes.

  • Importing From Excel file will not import assignments correctly where there are more than one assignment per task

    I am trying to import an excel file ... see below.   It appears if you select both Tasks and Assignments tables it will not allow you to do this, says file is not in a project recognized format.  So I import Tasks tab first then run the
    wizard again and import the assignments tab while selecting merge with project option.   This works with one exception:
    If there are more than one assignment per task.  It does not merge in the 2nd assignment, only the first.
    Is there a way to import a task with 2 or more assignments?
    Background
    To figure out what the format for the file needed to be, I started with a MPP file and from project saved as Excel and selected the "Project Template" file.  Now I am trying to import that XLS to see how it works

    Andrew,
    I did a quick test using your example although I didn't include the Predecessor or Outline Level fields to keep things a little simpler. I imported the Excel data into a new Project file with a single import of task and assignment data. It is very important
    to set up the Excel Workbook correctly. On Sheet 1 I entered the task data (Name, Duration, Start). I did not include the ID or finish date as that is redundant - Project generates its own ID and will calculate the finish date based on the start date and duration.
    On Sheet 2 I entered the assignment data basically just as you show it except I didn't include the Units.
    The data imported as expected.

  • How to convert XMP files into JPEG ones?

    I need to convert 16 xmp files into jpeg or tiff ones.

    XMP files are metadata files, so you are wanting to print out the text metadata associated with these 16 images? You will usually see them once a raw file (like NEF or CRW) is processed through Adobe Camera Raw. XMP files are not images.

  • LR not writing XMP files in an exisitng catalog

    Hi Folks
    My problem is regarding XMP files. I read on a couple of forums that turning on the xmp files is a good idea...... (Automatically write changes into xmp) OK so I thought lets try it....
    If I turn this option on in my existing catalog it does not work, no xmp files are written.
    I have tried creating a new catalog and importing some RAW files and it seems to work just fine..... xmp files are created as expected.
    So is this option only for new catalogs or can I use it on existing catalogs....
    Many thanks in advance
    Regards
    batandball
    My config is the following
    LR 5.7
    Win 8.1

    The files that were previously imported prior to the activating the "Auto write to xmp" will have to be updated using the menu bar> Metadata> and selecting the option to write to xmp. (or Ctrl-S)
    Be aware that the develop module edits saved as xmp is only useful to an equivalent version of Adobe Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop.

  • .XMP files no longer appear as sidecars--how to clear metadata?

    Photoshop CS2 ver 9.0.2
    Bridge ver 1.0.4.6
    ACR ver 3.7
    eMac G4 800 MHz
    Mac OS X ver 10.4.9
    1 Meg RAM
    12 GB available disk space
    Bridge and Photoshop are set to save metadata in .XMP sidecar files, but sidecar files no longer appear. That is, up till a few days ago, .XMP files appeared when I opened raw files, but no longer. The drop-down menu is still set to save metadata in sidecar files.
    Cannot clear metadata in Bridge. I can select "Camera Raw Defaults" in ACR, but that doesn't clear cropping.
    1) How do I return already-stored metadata to .XMP files?
    2) How do I get PSCS2 to store future metadata as .XMP files?
    3) How do I clear metadata currently stored in ACR/PS database?
    4) What did I do to cause system to store metadata in ACR/PS database despite being set to save in sidecar files?
    Thanks.
    --HC

    Noel,
    Excellent point.  I have no idea.  Maybe this was only working for
    .PSDs/etc. (which contain the metadata embedded in the file itself[,
    right?]).  I may have been deluding myself this whole time.  It's
    possible that it never really worked the way I thought it did to begin with.
    But, more specifically, here's the current question:  If I have this
    file (which is a backup from long ago):
    J:\backup of M90\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application
    Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
    ...assuming that drives are currently mapped (by drive letter) the same
    way they were when that backup was made), can I just replace the current
    file:
    C\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
    ...with the one from J: and expect it to work correctly?
    What's the worst that can happen if I do this?
    BTW, the file on J: is 2,569 Kb; the (new) one on C: is 2,754 Kb.  This
    doesn't seem to bode well, since the old one (J:) should have much, much
    more data in it (assuming that the "Database" file per se is where the
    metadata is stored): the older file has complex,
    multi-tiered data for 10s of 1000s of images.  "??"
    Thanks again for your willingness to help with this!!

  • 4.1.1 SDK Problems with missing xpacket tags in sidecar XMP files

    The current 4.1.1 SDK has problems with sidecar XMP files that don't have the xpacket headers and trailers, i.e:
    <?xpacket begin='' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d'?>
    <?xpacket end='w'?>
    is missing. Now, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS2/CS3 does not export these xpackets in sidecar XMP files.
    The standard, http://www.aiim.org/documents/standards/xmpspecification.pdf, is also very vague about it all:
    ● Write external metadata as though it were embedded and then had the XMP Packets
    extracted and catenated by a postprocessor.
    The grammar is strange(past tense had) and the spec implies that the xpacket should be extracted and again catenated... Someone should review this document and clearly state if xpacket statements should be in sidecar files or not. I suspect myself that they should be there, but the standard is very vague.
    Anyway, there are two places in the SDK code where changes might be needed:
    XMPFiles::Initialize has XMP_Asserts in case the xpacket header/trailer is missing, but the underlying assert is only active in debug builds.
    XMPScanner::PacketMachine::FindNextPacket () also has in its truth table the assumption that the xpackets exist.
    There could be even other places in the code that assumes that the xpacket tags are present in all files, which includes text XMP sidecar files.
    Anyway.
    a) Shouldn't bridge export the xpacket tags? Same with any other application?
    b) If the spec is vague, then the SDK should not assume that the xpacket tags are present.
    Any comments? Has someone already fixed this issue as I suspect a lot of apps using the the XMP SDK would break concerning reading XMP sidecar files? Thx, Kent

    I was able to work around the problem by creating a mapped view of the .xmp file (this creates an array in memory backed by the file on disk, so there's no need to read the file into a separate internal buffer), and constructing the SXMPMeta object directly from the buffer. (The ctor for that class calls ParseFromBuffer, so this is the same thing as was suggested by other messages in this thread.)
    It seems that Adobe needs to do one of these things:
    (1) say that Bridge CS3 has a bug, and agree that Bridge CS3 should include a proper xpacket header when writing xmp sidecar files
    (2) say that the XMP Toolkit has a bug, and that the SDK should be able to parse sidecar files without an xpacket header, and agree to fix the toolkit
    (3) say that Bridge CS3 and the XMP Toolkit behave as expected, but then provide a sequence of steps by which users of the XMP Toolkit are expected to read xmp sidecar files written by Bridge CS3
    Does Bridge CS4 write an xpacket header to the xmp sidecar files?
    Maybe what I could do is create a custom file handler for .xmp sidecar files, so I could use the SXMPFiles for everything, instead of having to special-case .xmp files.
    My needs are pretty modest though, and it might be just as simple to use the MS DOM-based XML parser for load the xmp sidecar file. I bet I could get the data I need (only the "Rating" for now) using a simple XPath expression.

  • .xmp files showing up in my SD card when accessing RAW files in Finder... Very weird!

    Hi,
    I'm having a very weird problem...  I'm using a 4GB Scandisk SD card and am shooting my RAW photos on a Canon Rebel 2ti.  I'm using a Macbook Pro, 2011 2.3Ghz i5, 4gb of Ram, with Lion v. 10.7.2 and am accessing the SD card RAW files through Finder.  I'm secondary clicking on the image file or double clicking them as PS is my default opening program for RAW files.  When I hit the "Done" key on any of the Photoshop files, a new .xmp file shows up in Finder.  When I open it, it's a Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8 License Agreement...
    I do have Microsoft Office 11 installed and have never used Messenger.  It's not a huge deal, but it's driving me crazy and it's totally weird!
    Thanks,
    -Dave

    It's a lot of separate, unrelated things happening to you in one long chain, but each step is normal and explainable.
    You are opening raw files straight from a card into Photoshop. Photoshop will open them in Camera Raw. Camera Raw's preferences are set to save changes in XMP sidecar files. You are clicking Done, which applies the default Camera Raw processing, and that change generates an XMP file to store these new settings. That's why an XMP file is showing up in the same folder. On a computer, that's fine. But writing back out to a camera card with a device other than the camera is not recommended. What is recommended is to use another, faster way to preview raw files on a card without changing them (Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Apple Aperture, Photo Mechanic, etc.), so that the card's left untouched as it should be.
    If you don't want the XMP file to be generated, you have to do just one of the following:
    In Camera Raw preferences, change the "Save image settings in" option to "Camera Raw database", not "Sidecar XMP files".
    Instead of clicking Done every time, which applies any changes, click Cancel instead, if you were just looking and not editing.
    Use something other than Photoshop to preview raw files. Most of the other ways are faster than opening them in Photoshop. The recommended workflow is to use a camera downloading utility to look through all the images on the card at once (instead of one by one as you are doing), and then select only the ones you want to bring into your computer. Bridge (via File > Get Photos from Camera, not by browsing), Lightroom, Aperture, and iPhoto all have that capability.
    As to why double-clicking an XMP file opens a Messenger license agreement: As you probably know, the system has to figure out what program should open a file with a given filename extension. It sounds like maybe both Adobe and Microsoft have used the XMP extension, and the Office installer probably associated it with some type of MS Messenger file. So when you double-click an XMP file, Mac OS X opens Messenger. Since you have not used Messenger before, it's showing you the "first run" screen for Messenger, and Microsoft has set it up so that you have to click Agree on the license agreement before using it. If you never click Agree, it will still be the "first run" next time you open Messenger, whether you meant to or not. You can use Get Info in the Mac Finder to reassign XMP to open in another program.
    You probably didn't expect so many things to happen from just opening a raw file off a card, but that's the way it worked out.

  • Binary search tree - writing to a file in alphabetic order words from tree

    Hi
    I have written a program that will read a list of words from a file, insert these into a binary search tree, write words from the tree to another file, so that the resulting list contains words in ascending order. My input file Alpha1.txt contains the following contents in the order and format given (one word per line):
    Dawn
    Dave
    Mike
    Beth     
    David
    Gina
    Pat
    Cindy
    Sue
    My program is supposed to be producing an alphabetical list of these words in another file "final.txt".
    Instead it gives me the following list:
    Dave Beth David Gina Cindy Sue Pat Mike Dawn
    This is obviously wrong, right? My correct list in "final.txt" should be

    All help is highly appreciated. Thanks for your time and consideration.

    You suggest that I do away with the inner class
    then?Absolutely. In fact I strongly suggest this. You are learning how to code and need to do things cleanly and in small steps. That means first creating your Node class and making sure it works. Then creating your Tree class, and making sure it works. In fact I would load the Strings into the Tree class first directly and testing things before even thinking about reading to and from files. Only then should you implement the file input and output steps.
    The key here is that you don't go on to the next step until you're reasonably sure that your current code works. Remember, it's MUCH easier to code than to debug.

  • XMP file have Dream Weaver Logo

    Hello,
    I work on my pictures with Camera Raw on NEF raw files. I wanted to edit lots of pictures taken under same light conditions. Therefore I just edited one file. Normally I could for exemple open the next file say " load settings" and chose the XMP file of the picture I just edited.
    But now, I get an error message saying the the XMP file has no data in it (but if I open it as text, there is a lot written there). I notice that the file has the logo DW (Dream Weaver). On my other computer, the file open per default with Mac Script. I tried to change this, but it doesnt work. I don't get the error message, but none of the according settings neither...
    Is this a known issue?
    What can I do?
    I work on Mac OS X 10.8.5 and I am customer of Adobe Creative Cloud (I work with Photoshop CC6).
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help and hints!!

  • How can I use an old XMP file on a new set of images??

    I have an older XMP file that contains settings used to retouch some previous images in a particular way. I'd like to apply those same settings to a new set of images. How can I use that older XMP file on a new set of images in Lightroom?
    The contents of the XMP file are as follows:

    I’m pretty sure Adobe NEVER intended for someone to copy an XMP file from one photo to another outside of LR as a way to replicate settings.   You can make a preset from a photo, as discussed, or if you don’t want to do that, copy-paste the settings from a representative photo that you initially select to one or more new photos.  You could have a special LR folder that holds standard photos to copy/paste from.  Of course creating a Develop preset from the representative photo is the “normal” way to handle such situations, but maybe you have hundreds of different situations to copy settings from and don’t want to create presets for each one, but I’d argue that you could create a complex folder hierarchy for your presets and still have them findable without that much problem.
    As far as the mystery about why some photos show Reset and some show From Metadata, is the Process Version (down in Camera Calibration) of the photo before reading the settings the same between the two situations?  And in general, are these virgin photos newly imported into LR or have some been modified in LR, already?  Does an XMP file already exist for any of these, where that XMP is being overwritten by your external-to-LR copying?  Or do you have auto-write-XMP enabled and your hand-copied XMP is getting overwritten by LR, automatically, before you have a chance to read in anything?

  • How do I reconnect my xmp files in PE9?

    After moving and copying photos between two internal and one external hard drive I find I have a lot of xmp files in the Recycle bin.  Can I "reconnect" these files to the images and video clips they belong to?  The dates are messed up and tags are missing from a lot of my stuff after all the moving.

  • Error in writing to export file

    Hi,
    I am getting the below error on running export:-
    EXP-00002: error in writing to export file
    The query is as given below:-
    exp cam3_mpcb2/cam3_mpcb2@ORA10G file='c:\MPCB_cam_20120113.dmp' log='c:\MPCB_20120113.log'
    CAn i overcome this error by adding "ignore" at the end of the query or how can i modify the above query ?

    Are there any other error messages that accompany the one you posted?
    EXP-00002: error in writing to export file
    Cause: Export could not write to the export file, probably because of a device error. This message is usually followed by a device message from the operating system.
    Action: Take appropriate action to restore the device. Do you have permissions to write to this location?
