pgrondin Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I had a directory open in ViewNX. I noticed an error in the place name tags for about 60 of the pictures. When I changed this field using ViewNX with all 60 photos selected, it overwrote all of the other tag information (now blank). Silly me!! The Daminion catalogue still shows the original tags. The menu selection "Item / Action / Write Metadata to File " is greyed out as is "read". I presume this is the "Future" way to solve this problem. Is there now a way to re-synchronize the tag data short of deleting the photos from the Catalogue, re-adding the files, and re-assigning the tags? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 If you remove the files from the catalog you'll lose the assigned information (tags). At the moment Daminion writes only the changed information back to files: so if you, for instance, will assign a file to a "dummy" keyword it updates only keywords information... I suggest you to wait till the next build: we'll try to implement "Write Metadata to File" feature or may be we can create a special build for you. I'll talk with guys tomorrow.

pgrondin Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thanks for the offer, but I don't really need a special build. Its not that big an issue. Getting "Read and write metadata to file" in the next build would be nice though. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
