Last post by Moffie - April 03, 2025, 12:56:09 PM
Aus unerfindlichen Gründen ist mein ursprünglichen Fotoordner verschwunden. Vermutlich ist das durch die testweise installation von ACDSee passiert? Alle Bilder sind off-line. Die Relocate Funktion ist nicht zur verwendenm da der Quellordner nicht mehr existiert. Mein Fotoordner ist gesichert. Kann ich die Fotos neu einlesen, oder?

Quote from: Mario on April 03, 2025, 10:14:20 AMI've added more logging in the 2025.2.2 release.
I think you've mentioned that additional logging was added in 2025.2.4, which was released 19.03.2025.

My two posts above (post 1, post 2, 19.03.2025, IMatch 2025.2.4) should have the additional logging and you've already replied to both.

Also Mees has replied with the additional logging (his post with additional logging) and you have also already replied to his post.

Do you need anything else? I'm still experiencing the slow opening.

I did not experience any issues. Do you mean Axel?

@Mees and @thrinn

Can you still reproduce this? If so, switch to debug logging, open the Viewer. If it's still slow, use Help > Support > Copy Logfile, ZIP and attach. 

I've added more logging in the 2025.2.2 release.

Fixed for the next release, thanks.

Mario, it was Tag XMP::xmpMM\PreservedFileName\PreservedFileName\0.

I performed another test, using a single file that already had that tag set, and when I ran my Template on it, the file did not become pending for writeback.

So I repeated the test, this time with a contiguous range of 9 files, 4 of which lacked the PreservedFileName Tag, and the other 5 having it already:

    1.) 72982
    2.) 75251
    3.) 75253
    4.) 75257 <=
    5.) 75261
    6.) 75263 <=
    7.) 78332 <=
    8.) 75268 <=
    9.) 75270

I selected all 9, ran my MD Template on them, and all 9 became pending for write-back.  But only the 4 that were actually updated (and now had a new value in PreservedFileName) showed the tooltip:

...and the other 5 (although also having an active pen icon), did not put up a tooltip when hovering over the pen.

The next Database Diagnostics mentioned all 5 of those OIDs:

Checking Metabase:
        should be not pending: [72982]...
        should be not pending: [75251]...
        should be not pending: [75253]...
        should be not pending: [75261]...
        should be not pending: [75270]...

...and afterwards, the 9 files were now in the correct state (with only the 4 of them needing writeback).

I turned on Debug Logging before running the MD Template, and can send that, and the Diagnostics log, if needed.

Which tags with which options does your template update?

I tried to reproduce this with a template that sets headline and hierarchicalSubject with the option "Insert only if tag is empty" and when I applied the template to a file with existing headline / keywords, the pending state was not set.

Quote from: JohnZeman on March 30, 2025, 12:52:26 AMJust to throw my 2 cents worth in here my file names are very simple as I've mentioned before so the way I see the extra details in the file window is to use the File Window Tip (see attached screen shot).
Thank you, John, for your input. I see another 2 cents toward simple, and I am trying to heed the warnings as much as I can.

The File Window tip looks very useful.  I may go this route, but I really want a system that I can see everything at a glance.

IMatch is licensed per user. The licensed user can use IMatch on any number of computers.
I trust my users that they respect the license and that works well. IMatch users are cool obviously :)

FastSpring offers a small discount when you buy two licenses at once. And if you have a IMatch 2023 license, the coupon code can be applied to the entire purchase, saving you some extra bucks.

QuoteThanks heaps Mario. You do GREAT work. In my 50+ years of HW/FW/SW work I've never seen a developer create a better supported / enhanced over time product. EVER. I'm starting to talk about iMatch every chance I get.  :)
 

Thanks, much appreciated :)
