Lightroom Import carriage returns in the IPTC captions

I use Lightroom 3.3 with Windows.  When I import pictures that have the IPTC caption field created in another program (ThumbsPlus or IrfanView), in the original carriage returns do not appear in Lightroom.  Anyone know why or what to do about it?  I would like to import a lot of photos with existing captions, and some have carriage returns, I would like to keep.

Windows LR 3 has a bug of long date in the treatment of the line breaks in the metadata.  LR represents always returns to the line in the metadata with a single character (the Unix/Linux/Mac ' \n', Ctrl + J, ASCII decimal 10).  It will preserve the preexisting line breaks in the metadata (even if edit you it), and if you enter a line break in the metadata pane using Ctrl-J or Ctrl + Enter, this new line is going to get written correctly as a single character. However, LR does not correctly display the pre-existing line breaks - they get silently élidés.

So if you enter a new line in the caption area of the metadata pane using Ctrl + Enter, this new line is displayed correctly.  If you then save the metadata to a file, the line break is properly registered as a single character.  But if you then reread the metadata in LR with reading metadata file, the line break appears more correctly (it will be kept).

This is a bug of elementary programming caused by the differences between Mac (which uses a single character to represent returns on line) and Windows (which uses the two characters, Ctrl-Ctrl-M-J, although many modern Windows applications accepts a representation).

  • Indicator automatic resizing of string with carriage returns in the chain

    I try to have a string on my front indicator automatically resize to put different strings that are sent to it.

  • Remove the carriage returns in the text in an oracle SQL table column

    Hello

    Someone knows how to remove carriage returns in a text column in an Oracle table
    using SQL. So far, I have:

    Replace (text_field, Chr (13),' ')


    but this is ignored.

    (We use db 10g (enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0) and SQL * more 10.2.0.1.0)

    I would be very grateful for any help.

    -Mark

    How does the following:

    UPDATE table_name SET col_name = REPLACE (col_name, Chr (13), ");

    But if your new line is CR + LF, then use REPLACE (col_name, Chr (13) + Chr (10), ")

  • Carriage returns in the HTML Code, creating additional spaces between elements

    I looked everywhere online and cannot find the solution to my problem. I found several pages explaining a similar event, but no solution.

    When you put several divs side by side, I would like to visually display the code as a div by line: (see image) to do this, I have to use returns in my code (this method makes editing much easier visually). But doing so adds an extra space between the divs that turns a game of 3 columns of thumbnails to 2 columns. I can fix it if I adjust the physical margins between the divs, but this isn't the only solution.

    with-carriage-returns.jpg

    The other difficulty is that if I put the code back to back to back (see picture): what makes the div behave and appear as they should, but now the code is a Visual disorder because it is very crowded.

    no-carriage-returns.jpg

    What I want is to be able to use as many carriage returns in my code and for browsers to ignore these types of line breaks in the code. So, basically, how can I get away from these extra spaces when you use returns in the code?

    I think that your two pages have a missing at the end somewhere.

    OPPS... it happened when I was stripping down the page to create a working example of my question. I set the div missing and re-uploaded both pages. The problem is still there.

    Change display: inline; float: left; and add margin: 0 0 4px 4px; (as shown below)

    I had already tried to use floats, but something else in the code forced the columns to 2 instead of 3.

    'Apply Source Formatting' did you use?

    I use that religiously. I'm quite anal about visually clean code.

    Well, I just fixed the problem while responding... funny... I removed the margins of the element img real (.imageThumb img) and placed on the div that surrounds the img (.imageThumb). I also reapply the float. Thank you all for the help - it helped me rethink. But I could have sworn I had once placed the margins on .imageThumb before and it didn't work.

    {.imageThumb}

    Width: 100px;

    height: 75px;

    display: inline;

    float: left;

    margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

    cursor: pointer;

    }

    .imageThumb img {}

    / * margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; * /

    }

  • Carriage return to the AutoNumber Format?

    Hello

    I have configured my EDD structured with some headings as autodial.  I wonder if there is a way to put a return between the number and the text?

    In other words, can I do this:

    Chapter 2: This is the title of the chapter

    look like this:

    Chapter 2:

    This is the title of the chapter

    As a secondary issue, in my search for the answer to this question, I discovered the < r >. < r + >, < R >, etc. '' building blocks. ''  I can not find them mentioned anywhere in the user manual or the manual of structured development application.  Can someone tell me exactly what is their function?

    Thank you!

    I use \r in my prefixes to get a newline at the end of the prefix. I have not tried to use it in an auto-numbering format. HOWEVER, the structured development guide says:

    If a paragraph with an AutoNumber item features include a prefix or a suffix, prefix appears just after
    automatic numbering at the beginning of the paragraph and the suffix appears just before the
    AutoNumber at the end of the paragraph.

    Because the AutoNumber appears BEFORE the prefix, I think you just need to define your prefix like \r (or maybe \n) to insert a line break between your AutoNumber and content.

  • CC of Lightroom on Mac returned to the test

    I tried (without success) get my Lightroom CC to update 2015.4 to 2015.6 and leave Creative Cloud to see if it would do the trick. I just left CC without a signature, which was probably a mistake. When I rebooted creative cloud, then began to Lightroom, it said that I was running a trial version. I tried signing off CC and signing back in without success. My account info says that everything is OK. Still does not update Lightroom either, but is no longer my main concern.

  • How can I add a carriage return to the output?

    I have a listBox with 15 values. This list box is linked to a text box. The text box print only selected items in the list box (thanks try67 for aid put in place). Now I want to do is have each of the items that are selected to appear separately instead of having one continuous line. I think what I have to do is add a transport returne (or two) between each selected item. Here is the code I have for the custom calculation script

    var v = this.getField("DiagnosisList").value;

    If (typeof v == 'string') event.value = v;

    else event.value = v.join (",");

    I triend/r/n addition but I keep getting syntax error. Thank you for any assistance.

    Replace this:

  • Remove the carriage returns

    I'm trying to import a 8 column .csv file into my database column 7A unfortunately a carriage return at the end that causes CF raise error, 'Incorrect number of columns.

    How can I get rid of the carriage returns when importing?

    I suppose that, by using the parameter "name" you try to treat the file as a query. That's why you get the error. You might be better to try to treat it as a block of text.

    Get rid of the name and the content of the file will be in the CFHTTP variable. FileContent. You will need to develop a function to browse the file and analyze the content. Each record has a CR in column 7, for example, could you retrieve each record by searching every second CR. Then you treat as a list delimited by commas.

  • Exported text and carriage return

    Hello

    After you export a history selected with a JavaScript in an external text file, there is always a carriage return too the end of the file exported.

    How can I get rid of this CR?

    Thank you!

    I * think * "e" mode is messing things here, i.e., you * are * changing the string, but rewriting it replaces the original text less transport returns to the end, and because you stop to write here, the original file data remains. Don't know if it's like 'e' is supposed to work, but then again, remove from the equation makes things work.

    (It actually also needed a ' file.seek (0) ' at work.)

    It is a slightly better way: open for read only, read, close; Remove carriage returns (line feeds as well, and sometimes I work on Windows here); open for writing and recording.

    For safety, I replaced the blind slaughter of the 'last character' with one; any number of returns at the end is deleted, or none if there is none in a first time.

    function delCR(file)
    {
        var myFile = file.open("r") ;
        var myCont = file.read();
        file.close();
        var myShortCont = myCont;
        while (myShortCont.substr(myShortCont.length-1) == '\r' || myShortCont.substr(myShortCont.length-1) == '\n')
         myShortCont = myShortCont.substr(0, myShortCont.length - 1);

  • FDK: Problem with line breaks / carriage returns

    Hello


    I met a strange problem with strings when you use the FrameMaker API. We have a FAPI customer who translated documents FM reading in their content, by replacing their text by the new translated text and in return the change in writing.

    However, I found that some strings are starting with a \r (carriage return) character, when we read in and when we write their return, they begin with \r\n, which moves text to the bottom line, and can break things as references etc. I don't know exactly why this is happening, we are using Visual C++ and we do a lot of conversions between classes CString and StringT types so maybe this conversion process are to do.

    To be honest, I find the appearance of newlines and carriage returns in the frame channels somewhat odd frame API breaks up the text of a paragraph into fragments for you anyway, so I would have thought that the use of these characters is redundant. That's a big assumption however so correct me if I'm wrong.

    We have implemented a work around by which our program strips newlines off channels before writing their return

    but in reality, what we really need to undress returns to the main line of strings, before starts the printable text in a string.

    I wonder what others have to say about this WRT its security approach. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

    Eric

    Eric,

    I did a little greater experimentation, based on my previous comments (sorry, should have done that before I clicked on the Post before.)  When I programmatically add a \r one paragraph, I don't see no effect in page layout. This is consistent with my suspicions so far. I really think that, maybe, these characters are misleading and should be removed from the beginning.

  • Mapping of metadata fields for the Lightroom import process

    Does anyone know what metadata fields using Adobe when playing jpg in a Windows (2000, XP, 7) environment? I tried many variations of the title, caption (subject), comments, and other areas. It seems that the areas are interdependent. If one is missing, then the same field may be used to fill two or more other areas. Adobe publishes a mapping or logical flow for the transfer of the metadata fields when importing? Yes, I understand that Microsoft broke all the standards known in this area, but I was using the "Windows Explorer" program for 20 years to fill the metadata fields in my image files. I'm now import a lifetime of photos in Lightroom for better management.

    There are two separable issues: how Lightroom reads fields of metadata from photos, and how Windows Explorer writes of metadata fields.  Unfortunately, I don't think that there is a single document that authoritative describing each question.  The industry has made a mess inherited metadata, and very few programs trying to do quality work.

    Lightroom has done a reasonable job to follow the industry standard, published by the metadata working group.  This standard unifies the three main mechanisms in which the metadata is stored in JPEG files and other file formats: EXIF, IPTC and XMP.    Many fields have defined slots in each of these three mechanisms.  For example, the capture time can be stored in EXIF:DateTimeOriginal, IPTC:DateCreated and IPTC:TimeCreated and XMP:DateCreated.  The MWG standard specifies how applications should read and write these multiple fields.

    For a couple of the most commonly used fields, LR uses its own names: "caption" (for EXIF:ImageDescription, IPTC:Caption - Abstract, XMP:Description); "capture date" (see above); "title" (IPTC:ObjectName, XMP:Title).  But for the rest of the fields, LR usually uses the same name as that defined in EXIF or IPTC - standards are the names displayed in the presets EXIF and IPTC in the Panel metadata, in the right column of the library.

    There is a dark corner where LR has made a mess: capture photos missing time (scans or digital photos very old).  Some parts of the LR will use the last modified time of the file, others the time to create the file (as defined by the Windows or Mac operating systems).  This gives very confused, inconsistent results that is easily corrected using the metadata > command change the Capture time.

    About Windows File Explorer, as Windows 7, Microsoft has done a better job than average according to the standards of the industry (a little better), it's a pretty low bar, especially considering that there are many standards to choose but file Explorer has a lot of quirks.  It's been a while since I looked at File Explorer in depth, but I remember that he (like virtually all other applications, including LR) uses names for fields that do not necessarily closely match the names assigned by the standards.  For example, "Title" of the file Explorer Gets the mapping to EXIF:ImageDescription, EXIF:Title, EXIF:Description and IPTC:Caption - abstract.

    * * *

    If you really want to get your 20-years-worth of photos loaded properly in LR (and I think you do), then your best best is to download the free "exiftool" and learn how to use it.  This is the tool the more authority without exception to examine and manipulate metadata.  To see where fields, I use this command line:

    ExifTool - a g fichier.jpg

    I think that there are versions of Exiftool GUI, but in the past, they don't have to deal with the basic tool, and after a while, I found that they just in the way.

    Then with a little trial and error, you can see exactly where the fields that you have stored with the file Explorer and if LR is read correctly.
