Title: UserComments tag not updating when exporting image Post by: sweetrobot on June 30, 2011, 05:38:08 pm Hi!
I have an issue with updating the UserComment (and XPComment) fields. For example, when I import a photo with data in either filed, it will show the tag data in LR. However, if I modify the tag data in LR, and export, the exported tag data contains the original tag data, and not the data I had entered in LR. I have made sure to commit/ save the meta before exporting. (http://i51.tinypic.com/t7c0gx.jpg) When I use ExifTool GUI and edit the User Comments field under exif, the changes are committed, and saved as expected. Since I am using the same exiftool executable for both, it means I'm likely doing somethign wrong when using the RC exif plugin in LR. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I *think* exiftool or the like is only way to change those things - not otherwise changeable in Lightroom. Title: Re: UserComments tag not updating when exporting image Post by: sweetrobot on July 06, 2011, 10:20:45 pm Good to know! Thank you!

I just released ExifMeta 3.4.2 whose fields are read-only to eliminate that confusion - thanks for pointing this out. (the big block still needs to be "editable" even thought its not really - long story...) |
