Metadata not saving
« on: September 21, 2024, 09:48:28 PM »
Photo Mechanic Plus Version 6.0, build 7212 (90865b3) on imac 14.6.1 (23G93)

With the catalog tab, using the browse field selected metadata then creators identity to list a number of images.  Then opened the metadata info on each image, added some text to caption and job id field , hit save to move to the next image. But when went back to check the date the metadata had not been saved, still the original data was there.  Why?

However, when I selected the folder with the images under the first tab, folder tab and repeated this, the data saved.  Can you not amend metadata under the catalogue tabs?

Unless the images had the [Read-Only] moniker in the title of the Metadata dialog, they should have updated the files.  Is this problem reproducible?

It does not happen all the time, tried again today on same images and saved this time, would appear to be irregular occurrence

I'd like to see your Photo Mechanic log.  In Photo Mechanic go to the Help menu and choose "Reveal Support Data..." and moments later a Finder window will come forward with the zipped log file selected.  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your zipped PM log file.

Thanks,

-Kirk

Log file attached, this occurred around 21-22 Sept, and some of the image names are 57274; 68541; 73960 and close numbers around these, thanks
