Can I do a find/replace operation "in bulk" in the metadata field "caption"?

I have about 3000 images in a genealogy library in Lightroom.  I need to go through all the legends and standardize the names of the people.  Is it possible, in Lightroom, or a 3rd party app, which will allow me to find all the "Bill Smith" occurrences in the legends and change to 'William B Smith' (for example).  Edition legends, one by one, in the metadata Panel is much too tedious, and there are many other names as well as Bill Smith to work on. I know that I can find all the images, using the text search cabability.  This is to isolate the channel I want to replace and then by individually typing in the correction for each image that is the problem.

  • Any plugin filter can use the metadata fields ignored by LR?

    Hello

    Assuming I want to install a filter based on the fields LensID or LensIDNumber, LR cannot help. He simply ignores these fields (and others). Y at - it a plugin which is able to do? I tried AnyFilter but it does not work for these fields.

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, any filter does not have the ability to filter fields that are not already available (which includes LensID and LensIDNumber).

    However, you can use the Data Explorer plugin for group photos with any visible metadata field to the free utility of Exiftool.

  • Bug: Find/replace does not work if the statement contains the string is too long

    Hello

    in my sequence, I press Ctrl + F to open the Find dialog box and enter a string. All the checkboxes are checked 'Elements for search' and ' limit the search to "is not enabled.

    Now comes the finding it is only announcing the discovery in the main sequence.

    Other places in a sous-suite that are part of a labview vi action setting is not in the list. Also if I open the sequence and I'm looking at this place.

    If I create a comment in the subsequence containing the searchstring, then it is.

  • Can you help me find a WYSIWYG tool to change the Dreamweaver code?

    Hello

    I managed a very small nonprofit.  Recently, a professional Web Designer volunteered for the redesign of my site.  He used Dreamweaver and the new look is exceptional.

    My problem is that I have to be able to update the site.  The tool I used iWeb to Apple, isn't an import function.  Dreamweaver is much too sophisticated and costly for my needs.  Does anyone know how to use iWeb to update a Web site created in Dreamweaver?  Or know another point and click (easy) and inexpensive software tool that I can use to make an update based on the new site (posting new links, updating text, etc.)?

    Thank you.

  • Can someone help me find my lost layer styles and the photo effects in the effect controls panel?

    I use the trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded and tried to install a glitter style. When I returned to my workspace I had no layer styles or the photo of the effects in the Panel effects... not one. The filters are the only ones to be there now. What have I done?

    Exit the editor, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_US (or your location) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. When you restart the editor, give it time to rebuild the content panel until you try to use the PSE.

  • Y at - it a keyboard shortcut for find/replace?

    Hello and thank you in advance,

    Using the functionality of InDesign CS - 5 find/replace, I am always using the search/replace button.

    Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut for this option, replace/find? ***

    Since I use it so often, it would be good that it could be one of the 'F' keys: F1, F2 or something else.

    I looked in 'Edit-> keyboard shortcuts'... but I couldn't find the option replace/find here.  Have I missed?

    Thanks again,

    Zorba

    It's here: System, section keyboard preferences. Check the box to enable access direct function key, or uncheck it and hold down the "Fn" key then press F4.

  • Can I import words from the file name as keywords in the metadata when you import pictures?

    Hello

    My apologies if this question has already been asked. I can't find the answer: will / Lightroom can import words filename for my photos as keywords in the metadata when you import the photos from my hard drive? And if so, how can I do this?

    I'm new to Lightroom from iPhoto. After reading several articles on the transfer of photos from iPhoto, I exported some 7000 photos in an electronic file on my hard drive. I'm following the advice, sort and rename the photo files on my hard drive to be able to import them into Lightroom in an orderly fashion. It is not too difficult because iPhoto already for most changed the filenames for event names as ordered in iPhoto. I also prefer to do it manually rather than using any iPhoto / Aperture plugin because my iPhoto organization was far from perfect and I have already started to significantly improve by changing the file names.

    I'm renaming the files of images with additional information to improve the organisation even more with what would anyway keywords "DATE/NAME/NAME OF PERSON (S) IN THE EVENT PHOTO" so it would be good to not have enter these keywords in the metadata after import for each photo. It's automatic and if not is there a way to do this? All the other tips are welcome!

    Thank you

    Hi adiscerningeye,

    You can create metadata Preset and then apply this preset on import for images.

    Link partners: -.

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Shares of advanced metadata

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 * create and apply metadata presets

    Once you create a metadata preset, you must select it during import so it will be applied on all images when importing.

    You can also type a few words under key words, so it will work like keywords for this specific to import Images.

    Let us know if it helps.

  • Can I globally you sign up/unsubscribe a contact using the API as a whole?

    I use E10 and bulk API 1.0, and I try the world you register/unregister (as seen in the tab preferences on a contact's details) a large number of contacts by using the bulk API. With the help of the SyncActions (as described here: in bulk API how-to: create the definition for your import), I can you sign up/opt-out of specific e-mail groups, but I did not understand how the global preference. I tried to leave out of the destinationUri in the SyncAction and set to null or empty, but it returns an error indicating that the destinationUri is required or invalid.

    Is this possible? If so, how?

    Thank you!

    It is an approach that works for us:

    1. create a contact called OPTED_OUT field. The default value is empty.

    2. create a filter that selects all of your contacts who are subscribers across the world right now, but have OPTED_OUT = 1.

    3. use the filter for a feeding program. Configure the program to unsubscribe contacts coming.

    4 create a filter that selects all your contacts that are in the world right now unsubscribed, but have OPTED_OUT = 0.

    5. use the filter to feed another program. Configure the program to purchase contacts coming.

    Now, in order to use it, you could download an excel file with an OPTED_OUT column, where its values reflect the State of the subscription for each contact (0 = subscribed, 1 = not subscribed).

    Or you could do the same thing via the API in bulk, including the OPTED_OUT field in the import. They will be fed into the program automatically every hour.

    Let me know what you think.

  • How to replace a "null" in the date field to zero

    Hi guys,.

    I'm a lil stuck with this problem.
    I have a requirement where I need to replace a null value in the date field to zero.
    For example,.

    Cancel_date Cancel_date
    20120301 20120301
    20120908 20120908
    value null-> > > > > 0


    Thank you
    Anita

    Hi, Anita,.

    0 is not a DATE, so you cannot view it in a DATE column.
    There is no '0' display problem in a VARCHAR2 column, so use TO_CHAR to display dates, even if the default format, it's exactly what you want.

    SELECT     NVL ( TO_CHAR (date_column, 'YYYYMMDD')
             , '0'             -- or '       0', if you want it right-justified
             )          AS date_string
    FROM     table_x
    ;
    

    I hope that answers your question.
    If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).
