Transfer photos with custom metadata

I have all my photos on my Macbook pro (Photos app) and held them with faces and custom metadata.  I would like to transfer most of them to my iMac (photos app).  I tried various methods, including parachuting, but I lose the metadata.

is it possible to keep custom metadata?

is it possible to keep custom metadata?

The only way to EVS all the metadata transferred another Mac photo library. Make a copy of the photo library on an external drive and copy the complete library to your other Mac.

If you want to only copy the selected photos to a library on the other Mac with included metadata, export photos using the "file > export". Who will save most metadata (places, keywords, titles, descriptions), but you cannot transfer the faces in this way.  Photo library not even iCloud will now synchronize albums faces between macs or mobile devices.

    My Exif plugin Capture time is designed to update the EXIF metadata fields that your custom fields are duplicated (in part), and its main use is for scans as in your example. But it is designed for you enter data directly in the plugin, not the analysis of another field. So, it might be useful if you are still in the original metadata.

  • Class linking with custom metadata

    Referring to a class in the [Event] metadata (IE. [Event (type = "something"]) has the same effect in the SEO of code: the class is linked and included in the output. Y at - it an indicator of compiler that will allow me to activate the class linking to my own metadata fields (those that were included via - keep-as3-metadata)?

    If the answer is Yes (if not, you can skip this part), is 'stick' of this feature to libraries as - keep-as3-metadata? (ie. If you-keep-as3-metadata in libraryA and application, application will also keep as reference metadata)

    Unfortunately, the answer is no.  You must write a custom extension CSA and addition of this type of extension to the compiler is currently on display.  Please submit an enhancement request.

  • Custom metadata FrameworkFolder + FLD_CREATE_FOLDER

    Hi guys.

    I am trying to create a folder with custom metadata (created in the FolderFolders table). The file component I use is setting records.

    The steps I gave to try this was:

    # Create a new column in the FolderFolders table

    1. in the configuration manager, I accessed tab tables.

    2 - I chose FolderFolders table and clicked edit.

    3 - I created the new brAcoesBloqueadas column (varchar, 10).

    4. I checked if the database table has been updated with the new column.

    # Try to run the FLD_CREATE_FOLDER function to create a new folder by passing a value to the new column

    I tried to run the above service using the bellows of the url. Just after, run this service, the folder was created, but the metadata brAcoesBloqueadas still empty.

    http://webcenter/cs/IdcService=FLD_CREATE_FOLDER & brAcoesBloqueadas = test & fFolderName = Test & fParentGUID = F3FF801E74C33C157B9DF0FA1BFB6BD6

    Something that I do not forget to do?

    Services do not base their information from the tables, because they are in the Configuration Manager.

    If you want to add more data to the database, you need to change the insert statement that calls FLD_CREATE_FOLDER. You will need to do this in a custom component.

  • How can I transfer photos from the "iPhoto" to 'Photos' without losing info "date of creation"?

    I decided to transfer all the remaining photos, I have always in an old iPhoto Library in pictures. I was able to 'rebuild' the library within the new version of iPhoto (which still exists on my Mac) and then export all the photos in a folder on a hard drive. However, when I then imported in Photos, they all got a new 'creation date' the exact moment where I imported the - missing information about when they were shot. Is there anything I can do to keep this information in Photos? The problem is that I can't even sort the pictures in "Photos" - under the "Sort" in the "View" menu option, there is only one, gray, option: 'Keep sorted by oldest first' if I look 'Photos' or 'Album' 'All the Photos' in the sidebar. Why are there no more options? (For example, sort by title?) Why is "Photos" so clumsy and unwieldy and paradoxical? Why does he use the same generic name ("Photos") for the app and the real thing, he manages a link in the sidebar? What happened to the Mac user interface intuitive but customizable? Augggghhhh!

    If you export you create them new files with metadata selected although the date of the photos should stay in the fields of EXIF/IPTC - assistance to export from iPHoto see - export to iPhoto

    If the metadata is not correct after exporting it's user error - and if you perform the migration instead of export and import, nothing will change-- How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

    What about sorting in the Photos - all the photos of the user can be sorted by ascending or descending date or by title - see Photos (years/collections/moments) is always sorted by date of the photo with the oldest first and pictures is always sorted by date added

  • Custom metadata plugin: how to execute code automatically new files?

    I have a goal to see some fields of Fuji-specific metadata in Lightroom. I can see these when I run Fuji by Exiftool files from the command line. I would like to be able to filter and research on them. (Before you go, if anyone knows of an existing plugin that will import the EXIF Exiftool arbitrary, please let me know.)

    I can write a metadata custom for this plugin. Definition of custom fields and tagset is clear for me. I've done this before. What is not clear to me is to know how to trigger the code that parses the files for metadata, and imports. Can I get the user to do so manually by choosing images, then using a menu option - it's easy. Is it possible to automatically invoke instead? You say, when the files are imported?

    Other opinions on how this could work smoothly are welcome. Thank you

    DB

    There used to be an ExifMeta plugin that would automatically synchronize one or more fields of image metadata custom in the catalog, available for viewing, filtering, and research.   Unfortunately, the developer has disappeared, as well as its plugins, about 1.5 years ago.

    The Data Explorer plugin allows you to view and search for fields of arbitrary metadata accessible to Exiftool.  But you have to run it manually whenever you want to display the current values.

    What is not clear to me is to know how to trigger the code that parses the files for metadata, and imports.

    The plugin must have a background task (or tasks) that runs periodically and checks new files and files that have changed since the last time it extracted their metadata.  This can be done quite effective, but it takes effort.

    The background task can scan the new photos using the catalogue: getAllPhotos() and comparing the result with the last time he called it.   I guess that every 5 seconds would not consume any noticeable CPU.  It could be implemented in 10 or 20 lines.

    If you care about the plugin noticing changes made to the metadata of files once they have been imported into LR (for example because an external application changed), it would be harder to do in a reasonable time.  The plugin can save the modification date of the metadata for a photo file whenever it extracted metadata.  The background would periodically scan all the pictures in the catalog, search for files whose current modification date is more recent than that recorded in the custom metadata.   I don't have a good idea for the cost of CPU that it would impose, but I guess you could probably do 10 files per second without significant load.  This would mean that it would take several hours to sweep a catalog of files of 100K.   (Windows and OS X have mechanisms to notify applications of changes to the file system, but these mechanisms are not available through the SDK of course).

    With more complexity, you might also have a background task that periodically uses catalog: findPhotos() to run the smart collection criteria "Medata status is changed on the disk or the status of metadata is detected conflict."  This would be grafted onto the mechanism from LR to notice that files have changed and that he would be very low cost. You can run this query every few seconds without significant impact.  However, there is a chance that this task would be to miss a few modified photos, for example if the user did metadata > read metadata file before the task had a chance to see the file has changed.  So, you would still need the task that periodically scans all the photos in the catalog.

    I never asked the developer to ExifMetadata exactly what he did on this point, but I'm guessing that something similar.
