PM to EM2 ratings not appearing for NEF files

[noemi]

Hello,
I have been using Photo Mechanic for nearly 6 months now and I am very happy with it. I decided to use EM2 as cataloguing software as it was important to organize the large photo library I have. Until recently I had no problems in having changes made in PM appear in EM2, including the ratings on the photographs.
I recently imported a large number of photographs from PM to EM2. Mostly Nikon NEF, some Canon CR2 and some jpgs. The process was VERY slow and I have just realized that a lot of the information such as star ratings initially defined in PM do not show up in EM2.

I am using Mac OS.X 10.6.2, PhotoMechanic 4.6.3 and EM2.0.

I don't know if this new situation is related do some of the upgrades in operating systems or software.

Thanks for any help in this matter.

Did anything change in your IPTC/XMP settings in Photo Mechanic recently?  Ratings and color labels are written to the XMP data.

Hello,
I do not recall making any modifications to the IPTC/XMP settings.
Attached is a screen shot of my current settings if you can see anything that might be causing the problem.
Thank you.
