BeVegan Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I just bought the server version 3.0.994 and am using a shared catalog over the network as 1 user. I have been having trouble checking files back in. When I use exiftool to write the filename to the title field, and if I do the Read Tags from FIle before checking in, the file remains checked out and locked and nothing can be done to it. I cant' check it back in, nor remove it from catalog, nor do anything with it. I would have to delete the whole folder from the catalog and reimport. This locking of the checkin also happens if there was some error using the exiftool like when a long file name is written to the title field. How do I get the locked files checked back in? That Checkin button is greyed out. I can't do anything with this catalogued item. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeVegan Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 How do I disable Check OUT altogether? I now can't checkout anything since Daminion keeps erroring out saying it can't find the Delete Me value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Could you please update to the Daminion 3.3b (1034) build and let me know if the problem still exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeVegan Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 will try as you suggest. would I need to uninstall both the server and standalone before updating without full uninstall is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hey BeVegan, simply install the software you downloaded. Daminion will automatically be uninstalled and than reinstalled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 BeVegan, a small improvement to your workflow: you can assign Filename to your image title via the Daminion: - Select an image in the Daminion Thumbnail View - Open the Window > Assign Tag Preset window - Select the Title key and write in the "%filename" without quotes - Click on the "Assign to Selected Items" button This works much faster than using the ExifTool.

BeVegan Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks Rene.. Thanks Murat. That workflow is much faster. I had to do 2 steps before with exiftool and then Read Tags from File. Your way does it all in one step. Great. For the problem I first posted, I just fought through the problem by deleting whole folders (sometimes thousands of pictures) just to get rid of 1 that was stuck in the Checked Out stage and not able to be checked in. The deleting and reimporting fixed it. I installed the new version but since I have already finished doing the above exiftool work, I don't know if there are anymore problems with the latest beta on this issue. Thanks for the help though.

Murat Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 The latest Daminion 3.3 (1039) version contains some bug-fixes related to the Version Control in comparison to the 3.0 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
