Lost keywords when they are copied photos to a new drive.

I just copied about 500 GB of photos from an external hard drive to a WD MyCloud device so I could access it from multiple computers.  Imported all back in Lightroom, which took hours and hours to be able to build new insights Standard.  In the process seems to have lost all of my keywords.  All other metadata seems to have transferred pictures, but the key words are not there.  I'm not sure it's a matter of Lightroom, so if I need to approach this also please leave me know where.

Thanks for any help on this.

I use Lightroom 5.7

HP desktop PC

Windows 7

In the future, to move the files in Lr (or place in the BONE and then move to Lr - if you are doing a great set with a common root..). i.e. do NOT re - import.

PS - If you have recorded (xmp) metadata before re-entry, you have lost your key words. If you do not save the xmp metadata, Lr stores keywords in the catalog only and spread them when the photos are removed from the catalogue, i.e. If you re-import...

  • Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Hello!!!

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it? I mean how to program a folder so that everything that he would automatically become hidden? I would be very grateful...

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Yes. A sort of roundabout.

    For this example, create a folder on your C drive named HideTest.

    Download http://winsupport.org/utilities/freedos-choice.html Choice.Exe (click on the link to download the utility program near the bottom of the page. "And save it in the C:\HideTest folder).

    Open Notepad and then copy and paste the following text in it:

    Off @Echo

    : All
    Set FilesToHide = No.

    : GoToDir
    C:
    cd\HideTest

    : Top
    CLS
    IF FilesToHide %! Is Yes! Attrib *. * + H

    : Choice
    Choice.Exe /c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide
    If ErrorLevel 2 Goto: exit

    : MakeList
    Dir > TempList.Txt

    : CheckFiles
    Set FilesToHide = No.
    Find.Exe "0 file (s)' TempList.Txt
    If ErrorLevel 1 Set FilesToHide = Yes
    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt

    : Loop
    Goto: Top

    : Output
    Set FilesToHide =
    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt
    Output

    Click on file, then save under...

    Go to C:\HideTest

    Name the file Hide.Bat

    Click Save

    Close Notepad

    Open Windows Explorer

    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start where user_name is your own username.

    In the right pane, right click, select New, and then click shortcut.

    Click Browse, and then navigate to C:\HideTest and click on Hide.Bat, click Next.

    Type a new name or accept the default name and click Finish.

    Right-click on the newly created shortcut, and click Properties.

    Change the race: from the normal window to reduced.

    Click on apply, and then click Ok.

    Restart your computer.

    Note: In the line above Choice.Exe c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide, 30 is the number of seconds it will wait before checking the new files. This can be from 1 to 99.

    Edit: Just to satisfy my curiosity, why do you do this?

  • Why my form buttons are not anchor when they are copied?

    Hello everyone. I was wondering if you could help understand me a solution for my buttons (form) do not anchor at the end of the timeline when they are copied as buttons and the normal items.

    skjermbilde       skjermbilde_2

    Thanks to anyone who can help us with that.

    Indeed, sorry about that. There seems to be no way to do that. Using apply to items of this Style in the distribution panel, moves all the keys with this style to the same starting point on a slide, but never the anchor will be preserved. I'm sorry, it's impossible to find a way.

  • LiveCycle Form - submit does not work when they are copied to the new application folder

    I basically copied my application folder app1 app2 of request code; nothing else has really changed.  I even did a global search and replace for 'app1\' to 'app2\ '; However, the submission process is used to working in the app1 file no longer works now.  Someone please guidance on what could be wrong?  I'm not allowed to post these forms.  Thanks in advance!

    It is a good idea.  In my case, I was able to solve the problem simply by performing a regular expression replacement:

    "\bapp1\b" with "app2"; of course, it's high risk, as "app1" was everywhere in my particular project.  In addition, the "xml" of resource file needs to be renamed in app2 when they are copied to the adobe/config file to avoid a collison name (if separate app1 and app2 to work).  For me, it worked; However, I could easily imagine a project where all this change of name would cause problems, I hope that those who would be easily traceable.  But thanks for the answer, it is always appreciated.

  • Trigger path changes grows when they are copied to the Position shape parameter

    Hello

    Richard Gerard has been useful and well as other people.

    I got sorta getting a stroke to a path.

    (So far), I can't get a form to follow the same path.

    My form is a small ellipse, commonly referred to as a circle!

    I saw this post- http://forums.CreativeCOW.NET/thread/2/959085 Interestingly,

    but does not work.  My shape layer consists of the name, "Blue Circle" and two properties below that:

    Content and Transform.  If I copy the path to the Transform-Position the path property is about 2

    times larger than the way I want to use, and does not start at the correct place.

    After reviewing the post above - I've added a 'path' to the ellipse in the 'Content' area, I see the path, it is the right size,

    but the circle does not follow this path.  If I try to copy this path to a position property, no dice,

    the path completely replaces the form for the wrong coordinates.

    I must be something basic is missing here, but remain to be discovered.

    Advice will help you.

    Thank you

    The way to the station is offset because your solid black with the mask is not in the default position. Point of anchor and Position must be reset. Parenting can also blame this upward. Here's how to fix it.

    First of all, until you copy and paste path remove parental and solid with the mask back to its default position by resetting Anchoe Point and Position. Now when you paste the path to your blue ball it will exactly match the path on the solid layer. Once the path is set, you can redo the parenting and reposition layers but you must include the blue ball. If it was me I create value null and do as the parent of the solid Black, the blue ball and the card. Now, you can animate the position of the null value to scroll on the map and the blue ball will follow.

    To match the date of the race for the blue ball just hanging out you the right most diamond keyframe on the position of the blue ball until it corresponds to the last position in the race... That's all he has. Your timeline should look like this:

    One last question. You have a non-standard publication size. It cannot make properly. What is the reason for the odd size. NTSC D1 widescreen should be 872 X 486, it is acceptable to have a model which is 872 X 480 also. MPEG compression requires an even number of pixels, so your 853 dimension is very likely to cause problems or be automatically resized to a standard frame size.

    Import is always an exemplary action and will never remove the original data.

  • does anyone know how to number the photos when they are exported so someone can choose the peak of number

    Anyone know how to number the photos when they are exported from LR, so someone can choose the photo they like with a number

    Sorry took with the last answer.

    More simple form used something like-Sequence_Filename number suffix

    If an image as _ABC0987.nef will become 0001_0987.nef and 0002_0988.nef, etc.

    Ask your customer to give you the full file name. The suffix indicates the original file.

    (I hope that you only need to search in a folder and do not have a bunch of images named the same that would cause problems!)

  • I can't get my pictures to download to my iPhone 6 s on my MacBook Air, even when they are connected by cable

    I can't get my pictures to download to my iPhone 6 s on my MacBook Air, even when they are connected by cable.

    What happens when you try?  Import window is empty in Photos for Mac, or if your iPhone is not recognized?

    If import window is empty or does not display do not all the pictures, you probably have iCloud activated on your iPhone photo library.  Then you can't import photos from your iPhone, because they are stored in iCloud and only mirrored on your device.   In this case to upload photos to your Mac using iCloud. You can download the photos from iCloud by using the Web page at www.icloud.com and the Photos.app it.

    What are your settings for iCloud on your iPhone?

  • Help! Photoshop edited jpg color false when they are imported into Muse

    Okay, so I try to build a Web page of photography (among others) and I change most of my photos in photoshop. All the photos I edit in photoshop and save it in jpg format, look great when printed, uploaded on facebook etc, but when I import them into Adobe Muse for and put them on my page Web, the colors of the photos becomes desatures or distort slightly (so that they appear dull). When I edit images in lightroom and save them in jpg format and import them into Muse, they look fine, but colours edited in photoshop seem to spoil my pictures when they are imported into Muse.

    What I am doing wrong?

    You are using some weird color management settings and do not convert to sRGB probably... Check your settings in PS itself and save for Web dialogue box and experiment around.
