Save metadata to file problem

It's really confusing to me... In catalog settings, I automatically "save changes into XMP" NOT checked. When I want to record, I select all, then "save metadata to file. However, most of the time this saves only the image "Most selected", it does not t create/write to XMP for all files selected? However, I know that it is intended to save all of the selected files and I also know that sometimes it is / has recorded all of the XMP files for me. I can't understand why sometimes it saves all files and some time only "most selected"? I tried in the library and develop Modules. Is there a reason for this or is this some sort of bug?

I use Lightroom version 3 on a Mac. But I also used to have the same problem on Version 2 as well.

Thank you very much

  • Save metadata to file? What is this good for?

    I believe that file > save metadata to file is not really necessary.  I changed some of the metadata as the legend and notes and I do not choose this option in the menu. Then I look at the file in Photoshop, and the metadata has already been updated. Metadata are updated by itself for JPG files, and the XMP file in RAW files gets updated too without getting something more.

    What is good save metadata to file then? Am I missing something?

    Thank you.

    Some types of metadata like captions, notes are written automatically headers file, others, such as keywords, are not.

  • Save metadata to file

    I keyworded on 1000 images today. I knew that the a few months, I had sometimes added keywords without their writing in the file, so I had a number of images with the status of metadata reading "Has been changed" rather than "updated".

    I searched this forum and online to see if there was a way to find images that were not only "date". I found a message on this forum that said it wasn't really a way to do it, but Lightroom would be to update only the files that were, in fact, changed, even if I selected all the. (The vast majority of my files have been 'informed'.)

    So, I selected all the images and "Save metadata to file." But now, each image has the current date as the update.

    Would be happening because I had never clicked "save metadata to file" for most of my images that I started using Lightroom in August 2009? The first day I used Lightroom, I imported about 25,000 images, but they previously all iView and were all keyworded already.

    I'm a littled weirded out by that, but I guess that everything is fine. Even if it isn't, I 2 copies of each image backup on my computer, as well as catalog backups.

    Thanks for any advice.

    In General, when you select all of the images and do a save metadata to file all files is updated in some way, even if it is at the time of update. The best way to update only the files that have changed in fact is to select the folder, and then run the save metadata command (note the absence of the word file) in the folder context menu. Also, you don't need to select all files when you use this method.

  • Lightroom 3 - save metadata to file?

    I wonder when, and if, it is necessary to register the metadata in the file?  I copy the RAW images of the card from camera to the DNG data type.  I deleted once accidentally a picture edited with unsaved metadata.   I discovered the image I re-imported from my trash was the original image without the updates that I applied.  I guess that if I had saved the metadata of the image, changes were brought back.  Other that lose changes and other metadata when you accidentally delete a picture, is there other reasons I have to save the metadata in the file?

    In a related question, is the original image without metadata available in any other software, except Lightroom if the metadata has been recorded in the file of the image?

    It is a secondary backup, a convenience. I do use DNG and rely primarily on my backups of the catalog, but I also have the automatic writing of metadata on. It is not slow things down, and my backup target these copies of the DNG work (I have other blank copies so there's little interest).

  • Save metadata because of files

    LR 5

    I try in vain to save changes in the module development to the original files. In general, I was able to simply use the dropdown under metadata or do a right click on the image and select "save metadata...". ». That the option is currently grey however.

    I opened the file in PsCs5 to see if I had perhaps already saved changes, but the file is located in its original undeveloped state. I'm sure its something fundamental, and it would be nice if a balloon would popup when you try to click a command grayed out to say, ' you have to _ first in order to use this feature ", but I digress. All Adobe are updated.

    As a side note, I like to make a copy of my original files, (in this case CR2), adjustments to perfom on. That my skills, (I hope!), I have the ability to create a new copy and try a completely different approach without overlay of new adjustments above a file with the previous settings saved to it. Is it possible to simply make a copy duplicate, not virtual reality, in lightroom? This seems, to me, a basic function that Lr seems to discourage the use of the if not deny completely. I don't know it's asking a lot.

    Thank you for your time!

    You can not save the metadata in a virtual copy. It would be my guess as to why the option is grayed out. You can only save to the original metadata. The "original" and "copy" being essentially arbitrary, you can exchange the virtual to the original by using the "set as master copy" under the Photo menu.

    Regarding duplication of files in Lightroom, the only way I can think to do that is for export, which can create a duplicate file (set the file settings > Format of Image to Moose). Leave the rest out (i.e. Image calibration) options, but you will need to rename the files, if you plan on placing them in the same folder. Make sure that "Add to catalogue" is enabled (in the export location).

  • No option to save/open Pages files to the hard drive

    In the Pages on my MacBook Pro, I can access only now the iCloud.

    If I want to open a file, it only gives me those in the cloud, no way to navigate to those recorded on the real MBP.

    If I want to save a file, it only gives me the ability to save in the cloud, not for the real MBP.

    I checked "Help", which only says: choose "save under" and choose the folder. Who don't show up with two problems 1) no "Save as" in the menu more and 2) no way to choose any place other than the cloud.

    I had a quick glance at all parameters which seemed even vaguely be connected to Pages, but found nothing useful either. I have no idea if or what I changed in the first place.

    Naturally, I don't want or need to save ALL my files on a cloud. So, how can I teach Pages to simply do what I want?

    The following example was made with v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.5 Pages.

    When you save a document, Pages remembers this location for the next open or save operation. The default open view will probably look like this in iCloud Drive: folder Pages. If you click on this Pages - iCloud selector, you can see the locations of the other folders. Choose one and then click on new Document.

    If you click on that left most button on the open Panel, it will hide the left panel of Favorites and give you this point of view even more disconcerting:

    You have a few choices to save a document. The first thing you need to do when you create a new document is to select the file menu: Save... and choose a location to save it under one name other than Untitled.pages. This will start the automatic backup (about every 15 seconds locally) and also the version back to history. There is also a facilitator Option key for the file that changes menu duplicate in save under... The default save Pages panel is minimalist and can cause some confusion over available save slots.

    Again, you can develop the where: selector to choose a local drive location, or you can click on the arrow pointing downwards in the annotation of the red circle. When you do this, a much larger window appears with the familiar left from the Favorites panel, and to choose a new save location. Once you have done this, you can also choose to make a new folder in this location to save and by clicking on the "Save" button, your document is placed in the folder that you just created.

  • I'm unable to save all the files on my pc which runs with Vista Ultimate operating system

    I'm unable to save all the files in any application. The dialog box type of flickers in the background, but nothing happens.
    Happens if I am recording a chart on the web using a web browser. Happens when I create a file in Excel or Word, Paint, and Serif (possibly other applications which I am not using at the moment) and then click on "Save as."

    It happens if I opened a pdf file from any source (be it on my drive hard or on the web) and click on "Save as" to save another copy.

    It happens when I'm using a web-based e-mail service, and if I want to add an attachment, as soon as I click on the Upload button, nothing happens.

    It happens when I try to export a scanned image of my scanner, to a file.

    I get no error with the exception of this shimmering when one would expect to see a dialog box.

    But, it happens when I create a new file in Notepad, which is a weird exception

    It started to arrive 3 days ago, and I have not loaded any new software changed the settings I can think. (with the exception of mcAfee who has downloaded an update almost everyday)

    I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.

  • Unable to save a PDF file to the desktop or the Paticular folder

    Hi all.

    I had problems for the last two days trying to save my PDF invoices, etc. When I download the PDF and select, "save under" another window will open that displays usually my files I have, but now it appears white. No idea why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?

  • Save a PDF file cannot be modified, losing the file HAVE changed.

    It's great that illustrator can edit PDF files and it's great that Illustrator can record on a non editable PDF. But why, for the love of sanity, I would like to save a PDF file cannot be modified, but then have the original file, currently open HAVE disappear leaving only this little pointless PDF file? I STILL want the file HAVE to remain the main current job file original. But it doesn't work.

    Or if, for some reason I can't understand, this behavior is necessary, and right, then at least it should show unequivocally that I am to modify a PDF file cannot be modified and strongly suggest to me that I might want to save an editable PDF or HAVE a file, or even do it automatically until I close the file (or Illustrator crashes as it is wont to do).

    I'm working on a file HAVE and I need to save a small file of WIP not editable for the customer display. I go to file - save as-> PDF / smaller file size / uncheck "preserve Illustrator editing capabilities". I send the PDF file to the client and continue to work and save, assuming that I'm working on the original. The file looks and behaves exactly as it did until I taped that, intuitively, I guess that is the file HAVE same, original, with the PDF file in a copy. However, when I come back the next morning, after having closed the file, only the low resolution not editable PDF file remains. The file doesn't help, and I have to redo all the work all the way back to the last time, I saved the file I saved the PDF.

    Much trouble, loss of hair, the time wasted, face Palm trees, etc.

    The thing is, I now /know/ does and I'm going out of my way to avoid it happening, but in the race at the end of the work and send commands to the client and manage multiple versions of files, it still happens. Now clearly this is my fault, but heck, Illustrator could behave much more usefully in this regard!

    Well, I must be missing something, I guess.

    I asked how "save a copy...". "is the way lasts, and you replied that you were referring to not using Save a Copy... So I re - submit that by using Save a Copy is the solution to your original problem.

    • Work in Illustrator; number of objects; several layers, live effects, etc.
    • Want a copy of WIP for the customer as you have described originally...
    • Choose file > save a copy... Format is not question could make no editable PDF, raster format, whatever...
    • Continue to work in Illustrator... under a State record which is absolutely no different than if I had never done the Save a Copy... There is no "silent dump' edit-ability or any such similar event. If I record, I save it HAVE original, or a new if the State was not saved.

    Hi sgodwin2468,

    Make sure that Acrobat Reader DC is updated Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader.

    If the problem persists, try the solution below.

    The default "save under" Acrobat/Reader DC dialog box is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat/Reader tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:

  • additional window opens each time I want to save a pdf file

    Hello

    I use adobe acrobat reader on a windows 7 Professional laptop (lenovo) dc.

    It's really annoying that every time I wanto to save a pdf file, it opens this additional window where I am asked to choose a carpet for the file. Then, there are 4 different mats, I have used it before and then opens the normal window where I can actually save the file. I just want to cancel the first step, because it takes so long if there's always a step more before the Save.

    can someone help me with this problem?
