focus Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey again! Why the Daminion doesn't create .xmp files for big video files? By big I mean something starting from 30-40 MB and higher. It creates .xmp for video files less than 20 MB for me though. Could be nice to create .xmp for files of any size, since it would help to restore files in catalog automatically, without setting tags for big files again.

Murat Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Before writing tags into the XMP metadata, Daminion tries to load the existing XMP block if any. I've determined that Adobe XMPToolKit that we use crashed on large video files and thus we don't write tags into the XMP sidecars. We'll analyze this issue on the upcoming days and will try to find a solution for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
focus Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks again, Murat! Looks like that Adobe XMPToolkit is a pretty buggy thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 We've wrote a new wrapper for the latest Adobe XMP Toolkit. It will be available with the next Daminion version (1.0 RC1 or 1.0 RC2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

focus Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hey. Murat! Any news on it? I see still no .xmp files created for large videos (in latest 817 build atm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 We disabled this feature while migrating to a new Adobe XMP Toolkit version. We'll be enabled in the next Daminion update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
focus Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Great, thanks for a good news! Could be nice to have any chance to find such video files (without xmp tags nearby) right inside the Daminion, or to easily find unsynced files in whole photos\videos collection at all. Some kind of catalog maintenance functionality, you know... Maybe show such files in Unsynced Saved Searched category after Catalog Optimize... command (optionally?)?
