Title: IM5, LR and Rating
Post by: Gerd on November 13, 2013, 09:49:28 AM
Hi,

if I set in IM5 a rating, then I can find it back via ExifToolGui in Xmp:Rating and Exif:Rating. If I do now a "Synchronise Folders" in LR, then nothing of the rating is shown, only if I choose for the selected files "Metadata-Read-Metadata from File", but this is a very time-consuming process.

If I set the rating-values direct via ExifToolGui, then I see the values in LR direct after a "Synchronise Folders", which is a very quick process.

What is IM5 writing/not writing in the metadata, that LR does not recognize the changes or have I to do a special setting in the preferences?

Do you perhaps have enabled the option to keep the file date/time under Edit > Preferences > Metadata 2?

I also use LR, PS and Bridge in my workflow and ratings and labels and other data modified by IMatch is immediately visible in LR.

Hi Mario,
