What happens when there is a conflict between settings stored in the metadata file and catalogue of development?

Hello

I was wondering if someone could quickly help me in understanding how the development parameters are read in lightroom... (I use lightroom 3.6) that I just had a little bit of panic that my lack of understanding of the system could have missed a bit!

As I do all my image DIY on a laptop with a small disc, I am often archiving of directories of images to an old server, we have, and then just get on my laptop whenever I need it again. I have a single on my laptop lightroom catalog, and I thought (now I think wrongly!) that all my settings updated is stored only in the catalog of lightroom on my development laptop and so I kept a copy of the original jpeg images hit somewhere so that I could bring my laptop when needed, I could always go back to the version most recently published of my images. Often, I copied an images directory from the server to the laptop, retouched with lightroom, then deleted the jpgs of the laptop thinking that the originals left on the server would be sufficient to restore my work later.

But recently just before the deletion of a lot of JPGs of the laptop, I did a quick comparison with the server and is horrified realize that the files if it is different, and that changes * are * written in jpeg files! Research in lightroom I have the 'include develop settings in metadata in JPEGs [etc.]' lit.

My questions would be:

1 have I lost their jobs by effectively removing metadata from jpeg files or is also preserved in the catalog?

2 What if some develop settings of an image are stored in the catalog, and a completely different set of development settings have been stored in the file - which should be a priority?

3. have I screwed up, and if so is there anything I can do to minimize the damage? : {

Thank you very much for all the advice!

My questions would be:

3. have I screwed up, and if so is there anything I can do to minimize the damage? : {

1 Lightroom ALWAYS stores the changes in its catalog file.

2 Lightroom ALWAYS uses changes in the catalog file. The information stored in the JPG file are NEVER used to display the image in Lightroom.

3. as long as you do not remove the photo from the catalogue, you are well, your changes are present in the file catalog and Lightroom can use those to display the image.

As I do all my image DIY on a laptop with a small disc, I am often archiving of directories of images to an old server, we have, and then just get on my laptop whenever I need it again.

If you moved the server, using Lightroom (or photos using Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing), there is no need to bring your laptop. You can leave photos on the server and access the server and everything works fine

  • What happens when you enable paging in the range?

    Hi all

    Recently, I started tuning VO potentially able to return a lot of data. Explore the documentation I've read on the beach of paging:
    section http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E16162_01/Web.1112/e16182/bcadvvo.htm#BCGHDDAD "42.1.5 scroll efficiently with large result sets using range paging"

    Section "42.1.5.3 What happens when you enable paging in the range" tells us that the thrust is enveloping the original query to produce a Top - N query like this
    The actual query produced to wrap a base query of:
    
    SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, SAL FROM EMP
    
    looks like this:
    
    SELECT * FROM (
      SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ IQ.*, ROWNUM AS Z_R_N FROM (
        SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, SAL FROM EMP
      ) IQ  WHERE ROWNUM < :0)
    WHERE Z_R_N > :1
    Oracle, told us http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10002.htm#i2171079
    >
    Use the ORDER byclause order the rows returned by the statement. Without an order_by_clause, there is no guarantee that the same query that is run more than once will retrieve the lines in the same order.
    >

    So, it seems that we can ignore certain lines of original request?
    The example below illustrates this situation.
    SQL> 
    SQL> create table tst(
      2    id    number

    In the first query, we lost name4 in second name1.

    Who can shed some light on this?
    Everything is so sad I think, and I should wait for unpredictable data? Or the internal mechanisms are not as described in the documentation and everything works well?

    Thank you very much.

    So what is your question? Without a deterministic order by, the top - N query used by the pagination of range feature will not do what you want. It can skip lines. It can reproduce lines on several pages.

    The documentation is correct; things are working properly. The other thing that should be obvious is that if the records are inserted in the game of records and committed between your look a page 1 and page 2, the specific records that appear on page 1 page vs 2 could change.

  • What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

    What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

    Your library system can be on an external drive, if the drive is Mac OS extended (journaled) format and mounted on-site.

    But you must be careful, your external drive is always connected and available before the Photos and to import new photos.

    If Photos opens a different library, news, you can switch to the library on your external drive by double clicking on an external library. You can have several libraries, no problem.

    But pictures don't have any tools to merge libraries. You can switch between libraries, then open them alternately.  To merge two libraries export the photos of the smallest library and import the photos exported in the largest library.

    Or use third-party "PowerPhotos" to move photos between libraries.  But the merger is not supported in the free trial version. You must purchase the full version. You can download it here: Fat Cat Software

  • What happens when ClearTask is never called?

    I use a NOR-6259 with the C API of Linux. What happens when a task program is interrupted and the ClearTask function is never called? Is it possible to query the driver for all running tasks, or better yet, is it possible I can assure that the device reset to a base state?

    In particular in the development, it is nice to be able to simply CTRL-C or something like that to kill a program bug.

    I don't think there is a good way to do it using our C API. If it was on a Windows machine, we have a program called MAX which will allow you to reset the device from there, but I don't think it is available on Linux. I think the only way is to reset the device.

  • I have a duel processor. C drive is nearly full E reader uses only 30%. What happens when the C drive is full?

    My laptop has 2 dual processor x 75 GB.  Tried to move the files to the E drive but they double and are difficult to locate. Life should be easier than this!  C drive is nearly full, E drive uses only 30%.  What happens when the C drive is full?

    [Moved from comments]

    Simple!

    You get a BIGGER hard drive.

    The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.

    Which is the same amount that I have in my table.

    2 x 250 GB.

    I have XP Pro on one single, Windows 7, on the other. (And each of them uses ONLY about HALF of these hard drives!)

    In a month or two, I'll upgrade to 2 x 1 terabyte hard drives. sounds a little one 'kill too much', I know, but hey, my computer IS able to be updated that he got so far it?

    Yours is in need of an upgrade too, suggest that there is, to solve your problem!

  • Drive mapping: How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.

    How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.  I tried to unplug and power, reboot etc.  There is no F: drive connected to the computer.

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / "disk management and select external reader by clicking on it and then right-click on it and select change drive letter and paths."  It should show the letter currently assigned (G I guess).  Click the button change.  To the right will be a drop of drive letters box.  Go ahead and select F and click on OK.  That should do it. If F is not available, then it is used by the system for something else.  Check disk management to see if you can find it.  If it is not, and is not available in the list, I'm afraid, you will not be able to change until find you what is using drive letter F and remove it, or change it to something else.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try to understand what is using F or why it is not available.

    Good luck!

  • vSAN Datastore - what happens when it meets?

    I understand that vSAN aggregates all of your capacity of magnetic disk in a datastore fat big, what happens when it fills up it kill all running virtual machines, as it normally would?  If Yes is there anything that can be done to protect said: a virtual vCenter in this server?

    With VSAN a disc is an object. An object exists several components. A component is located on a disk. However, VSAN can have 1 VMDK which is an object consisting of several components. These components can cross physical disks, disk groups, and hosts even if necessary. So there is a lot of flexibility.

  • What happens when an examiner saves a shared review file?

    Hello

    I sent PDF files for review of a few people using a link to the shared file on our network in an e-mail. Everything seems to work very well, but one of the reviewers said sometimes must stop his commenting to halfway through, that he does not want to publish his comments again. Thus, it records the review file to its own computer using the "save under". What happens when he does this? It creates a share full version of the file in revision that nobody else can share? If this is the case, is that it should copy his comments in the file shared its own version? Or if it publishes its own version, it will inform the shared file on the network?

    I'm curious to know what is happening with a "save under" it's because often my reviewers are asked if they want to save the file before closing, and they don't know what to do. I know that they can say 'No' and their comments are already saved, but what happens if they say 'Yes'? It records the shared version or create a new one?

    Kind regards

    zerozone110

    1. If the examiner wants to add comments, but not publish them, he can choose to 'Work offline' option drop-down menu button server icon in the bar of yellow color shown on top during the review.

    2 do a "Save as" does not create a new version. All comments added and published in this version will be present in the old control file as well and all other reveiwers. There is no need to copy the comments in return.

    3. If the reviewers add comments and close file without publication, they will be asked to save the file as a draft or publish comments or delete comments. They can choose to save it as a draft and go on adding comments in this copy, come back later and publish the unpublished comments.

    4. If all the commnts are published, there is no need to save the file. All comments can be recovered at any time by making a 'check for new comments.

  • TabNavigator - how to change what happens when a user clicks a tab

    I use a TabNavigator in my Flex application and I wish I could change what happens when a user clicks on a tab on the TabNavigator. I'd like to be able to manage the click on the tab myself and prevent Flex parade is the default actions. Someone has an idea how to do this? Any help would be appreciated!

    Mike

    I think you need to add an event listener for the TabNavigator to 'change' event

    In this case, you have access to the old tab and the new index of tab. If there is a problem, I think you can just reset the tab on the old index or whatever it is you do.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.
