PLU Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Windows Server 2019 Daminion Server 6.3 Handling of XMP files seems to be totally broken. 1. In Daminion, I've assigned a title, description, colour tag and rating to a file 2. Right clicked the file and selected 'Actions -> Write tags to file' 3. A sidecar XMP is created as expected 4. Right clicked the file and selected 'Actions -> Read tags from file' 5. The title, description, colour tag and rating are wiped out in the Daminion catalog 6. 'Actions -> Show all metadata' and the '.xmp' button continues to show the metadata as expected. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi, can you please tell me what files formats you are having this issue with? RAW or videos? I cannot reproduce this either on videos or RAWs. Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germie Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hi there, I am encountering the same problem from version 6.4 throgh 6.8 for .RW2 files with an attached XMP In 6.2 everything seemed to work fine but starting 6.4 if I click read metadata from file keywords etc are cleared. Is this a user error or can anyone confirm this? Kind regards from Holland Germ Wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hi Germ, can you send an example (RW2+XMP) here in the forum? Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germie Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hi Uwe, Thaanks for your reply. A sample file? Sure. Thy the attached files. Kind regards from Holland Germ Wind P1000006.xmp P1000006.RW2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerina Karpenko Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hello, The problem with reading and writing to RW2 is registered in our bug tracking system. We'll try to fix it soon. Regards, Kate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germie Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Thanks for the qauick replies. Will you let me know when a fixed version is available? There is another side to this matter: It does create or update .xmp files for RW2 file when write metadata. Another quick question: Version 6.2 (now in use for the above reason) does not read CR3 files for the Canon G5X mark II. Do the newer Daminion versions support this format or can I add this myself someway? Kind regards from Holland Germie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi Germie, yes, sure, you can add this format to the list of import filters - please check out here how to do it Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germie Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi Daria, Thanks for your reply. If I would do the adjustment of the import filters, would Daminion also read the metadata, and build the thumbnail and previews of these files? Kind regards from Holland Germ Wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi Germie, unfortunately, only the file information will be read. For all unknow file formats. Daminion cannot generate thumbnails or read tags from file. You can still assign tags to the files, and export them to CSV to backup them. As a temporary solution, you can add custom thumbnails to the files kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germie Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Thanks for your answer, Daria. I'm sorry to hear there will be no native support for this camera in the near future. For a photographer like me this gets quite impractical. Kind regards from Holland Germ Wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi Germ, We have registered the request to add support for this file format, the only thing is that we cannot tell you how soon it will be added. Kind regards Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
