IPTC Variables Not Filling IN

(1/5) > >>

Hey Guys,

Loving the speed of V5 just having an issue with IPTC variables not filling in as before. I haven't changed anything that I was doing in 4.6.9 and I even reloaded the variables in V5 to make sure they hadn't change. Any idea what is causing this it not to fill in now? I attached to screen shots to show before and after.

At what point in your workflow are you using these specific variables?  During Ingest?  After Ingest?  Do the photos have an IPTC date applied to them before you use those variables?

It's at the point of Ingest and it's not working post Ingest either, same thing that I did in 4.6.9 works just as normal.

Hi!

I tried your variables in one of my images.

variables: {iptcdow}, {iptcmonthnameap} {iptcday}, {tyr4}
result: Friday, June 29, 2012

This is done post-ingest

I gave it a try on a virtual Windows system, too.
During ingest it works also.

As the only date-related variable returned is {tyr4} (what is the year of today, what is the output of the variable {iptcyear4} on your end?
Open up the IPTC-Data, paste the variable and option-klick "OK" to get the variable evaluated without saving.

jlfmedia:
Yup that killed the year as well by switching to {iptcyear4} So something is wrong with the IPTC variables in 5 then? The same string of variables works just fine in 4.6.9.
