Nordlicht Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hello, After a long time I can devote myself to my photos again and build up my database. But now I have a problem with the metadata. When reading, Daminion does not recognize the metadata stored in the XMP file of the RAW files. So neither colors, labels nor locations are adopted. The metadata are created with Photop Mechanic and LR. I took a look at the XMP file once. The entries are formatted as follows: xmp:Label="Rot" xmp:Rating="3" If I change the metadata in Daminion and write it back to the XMP file, the format looks like this: <xmp:Rating>2.000000</xmp:Rating> <xmp:Label>Gelb</xmp:Label> Photomechanic and LR can read the changed metadata. I'm using Daminion Server and Client 6.8.0 I'm at a loss right now. Can someone help me? Thanks Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlicht Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I installed Daminion 6.4 on a test machine. Importing the metadata from the same XMP files works. Writing and re-reading too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlicht Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I don't think it's the format of the XMP file. As a test, I set the color label and rating of an image in Daminion (local DB) and had the tags written to the XMP. I have attached the file that was created as an excerpt from the metadata display. If I read this file again, the label and rating in Daminion will be deleted. Daminion is not able to read in the self-generated XMP file and deletes existing settings.

Katerina Karpenko Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hello, Could you please send me the sample of your RAW file to reproduce the problem? The label and rating were not deleted after writing/reading metadata when I was checking with my CR2 files. I use Daminion 6.8. too. Regards, Kate.

Daria Kotilainen Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hello Nordlicht, can we schedule a remote session to take a look at this issue? Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlicht Posted January 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hello, that would be helpful. I've made a test at another Windows-Installation. There it's working; with the same pictures. I will send you a pm. Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi Matthias, I've sent you a DM. Please try to uninstall Daminion on your main PC, remove the mediaprocessor folder and then install Daminion again. kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
