Update the metadata of image programmatically

Hello

I have developed a plugin that modifies the image exif information (using a third-party program). Is there a way to inform Lightroom programmatically to refresh the image metadata? Right now I have to right click on the folder and choose "synchronize folder...". ».

There is at least an ODBC driver for SQLLite http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/and perhaps command-line access to the database too

But there is nothing directly through Lightroom, and you will not be able to code Lightroom to update the EXIF data. There is no coding mechanism to write to the EXIF fields or to refresh the image (that is, unfortunately you can't automate metadata > read metadata).

If you write SQL directly while LR is open, the best you can expect is that the EXIF will use data updates to the database when you click Next on this image in the library. However, you are likely to experience problems of database locking and a good chance of corrupting the database. Abandon all hope, you who enter here?

    Hey Shiva.

    In regard to your original question, solve it correctly using SST. Just to remember the steps do not forget to assign a path of the cookie to the application of your portal.

    (1) configure connection WCP - UCM

    (2) configure ESS to access using the same port at WCP and UCM.

    (3) configure weblogic.xml add a cookie path using the same value as your context root: example: /myportal

    Regarding login confirmation you need SSO solution configured between your WCP and your WCC (OAM, Kerberos SSO, Oracle OSSO)....

    How to set up SSO for WebCenter Portal frame remember to add to the configuration of the CLIENT-CERT authentication.

  • Update the metadata of HFM 11.1.2.3

    Hello

    I update the metadata in HFM application. Version - 11.1.2.3 Classic application. I extracted the HFM workspace metadata and update dimension members by using the HFM desktop client.

    What will be the impact on the data if I'm changing the hierarchy in the app metadata file (I'm not remove all members.) Just create new members and change the hierarchy of existing members)? It erases data from HFM applications after loading the metadata file updated through the workspace?

    Thank you

    Michel K

    Hello. Your level of database will not be affected if you do not remove members at the basic level. For members of parent, if you change the descendants, it depends. If account or custom dimensions, everything is recalculated in the memory as requested, so the change is retroactive. For entities, it depends on if you help org by period and/or parent entities of locking. If one or both of those, entity hierarchy changes generally will not be affected. If you do not either of them, the hierarchy is affected, but you will need to rebind the data in order for the changes to be aggregated.

  • Problems of updating the metadata in the original files

    I'm trying the combo CC Lr/Pr on a Macbook Air. I tried to change the time of a few photos to correct an error of time zone, has functioned well. I tried to write metadata in the original files and all the fields "date created" originals have been updated date and time!  Any suggestions on how to fix?

    If I import the files in another application such as Photos or ACDSee photo, correct 'photo' time must see?

    As long as you did the metadata > save metadata to a file, or better, you have set the settings to catalogue option > metadata > automatically write changes into XMP, then any photo app reasonably in line with the standards of the industry will be able to read the capture time, you set in LR.  I am reasonably sure that the Photos and ACDSee are standard, but it is best to test to make sure.

  • update the slide show (image gallery)

    I used a lightbox (Gallery slide show/image) to my Web site. I added some first pictures, but I was wondering what happens if I want to add a few images more after my site is exported in the form of a finished html.
    Is there an easy way to simply drag drop images in a file and automatically update the light therapy device? I ask this because that Muse gave us amazing features but slideshows are often updated with new images and do it using muse each time is not so effective.

    Hello

    There's no option to the Muse at the moment. You must change the slideshow in Muse, add/remove images and download the site again.

  • Rename the name of the file without updating the metadata

    Hello

    I'm new to LR and would like to know if it is possible to rename the name of the file in LR 5 (after the import of images) without changing the name of the original file in the EXIF metadata? For example, the name of the original file is DSC_1234.NEF and I would like to rename it to "Hawaii_1234.NEF" in the catalog, as well as the name of the file on the HARD disk, but woud like to keep the original "DSC_1234.NEF" in the metadata.

    It seems that LR also renames file name in metadata if I read earlier rename after import (through the library - option Rename pictures) will not change the name of 'original' file in the metadata.

    Thank you.

    André.

    Hmm - confusing...

    I mean, Lr going to keep "DSC_1234.NEF" as the piece of metadata named "Original file name", after you rename the file "Hawaii_1234.NEF". The 'current' file name, in the metadata, will of course be the new file name (Hawaii_1234.NEF).

    Did you want something different?

  • Cannot update the metadata via the API

    Is there something wrong with the simple ordinary call?

    curl-x PUT d ' data = {"version": "0.2.0"}' https://build.PhoneGap.com/API/v1/apps/234...0?auth_token=x...Y

    I want to just update the title and some version information in the application before the build... but even if I get a 200 and information, the version is not updated.

    Any ideas?

    Yes as said Kerri, meta-data need to be updated through the config.xml file. It looks that the docs indicate that the meta-data can be updated through the API settings, but this isn't the case. Ensure that the updated docs up-to-date.

  • Update of the Image metadata in Image file

    Hi all

    I'm trying to update the value of image metadata such as title, subject, Description of the Image, comments, author, etc. through Java code but have failed to do.

    I tried a lot of code available online but that you have failed.

    However, I was able to read the values of metadata and print, but the writing is a problem.

    Could someone please help me with the part code writing or updating the metadata values in an Image.

    Precise scenario is - I have many images I want to compress to reduce the disk space used. But the compression code generates an image in which all the metadata (attributes of the image), the values are lost, who are important to me. So find a code by which I can copy read the metadata of the values of the original image and write it to the compressed image.

    Kind regards

    Hi all

    Thanks for your help and support.

    However, I found a solution to my problem.

    Here is the link for the same thing:

    In this, I removed the part of code that is related to android and my task was accomplished.

    In particular, those that are not needed are under classes. Just their comment and make the appropriate changes in the code to resolve the error and everything works fine.

    Import android.media.ExifInterface;

  • Update of metadata in ESP 12

    Example:

    I have a picture with the BIG BLUE MOON label. I'm updating the metadata and any program I use, I see the BIG BLUE MOON tag.

    On the road, I decided to change the name of this tag for BLUE MOON, thus eliminating the BIG Word. I update the metadata.

    Now, when I discover the metadata through any other program it has the two tags: Big Blue Moon and Blue Moon.

    So now, I have to go through all my photos and manually delete the word BIG.

    Is there an easier way?

    If you can still see the old tag in other programs, it is because you have "writing metadata to files", otherwise the tags would only be known to your catalog.

    You can get rid of the unwanted PSE11 and PSE12 tag:

    Select all files with the tag unwanted in the Organizer. In the Info Panel, click the "Edit IPTC information" button. From here, you can manage (modify, replace or add new tags) data in the metadata section of your image files.

  • How to synchronize the metadata of LR to bridge

    Hello. I have W7 64 bit, CS5 with ACR6.1 and LR 2.7. My Leica camera capturing in DNG natively. I use "Convert to DNG" import in order to take advantage of the lossless compression. I understand that the XMP sidecar files are not applicable and that the metadata is written into the header DNG. It's good for me, it should ensure that the metadata is always with my DNG, but I'm not sure how it affects the validity of any instructions, I found so far.

    Currently I use ACR and LR to develop files to take advantage of the new features and treatment until I can get LR3.

    I want to synchronize the development parameters. I learned to updated the metadata of files developed in ACR6.1 when I open them in LR2.7 but I can not work, how do the LR develop visible settings when I open the files in Bridge.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was unable to find the information in the forums or help so far.

    I'm also not sure if this is the best forum to post this, but he did not cross the. If I am better publish it on another forum, please excuse me and suggestions would be welcome.

  • Star rating does not update the export

    Hello

    When I change my RAW files I always use the stars to rate before I export it to JPEG.

    Sometimes after a while, I go on them, even once, even more change and sometimes change the rating.

    What I've discovered, is that when I crush them (with the standard export function Lightroom) ratings do not update.

    Can any of you confirm or happen just on my computer? And is this a bug or just an error on my side?

    Thanks, Philipp

    Don't think this is a bug in itself, but you must update the metadata for the exported photos that you crushed. You can do this by using 'Read metadata from a file' in the menu metadata or by synchronizing the folder with "scanning of metadata updates" and exports.
