Title: 03 Updating ExifMeta
Post by: areohbee on February 25, 2011, 03:43:52 pm
I recommend checking for updates periodically using the 'Check for Update' button in the plugin manager.

If there is an update, then its usually a good idea to download it and update the plugin, but there are some things to consider:

The newer version contains unpopulated "skeleton" versions of some automatically generated files, namely:
  • ExifMeta_MetadataDefinition_AutoGenerated(DoNotEdit).lua
  • MetadataTagsets_AutoGenerated(DoNotEdit).lua

So after installation, you will need to re-commit the database (which re-generates the above-mentioned files), and reload the plugin - which puts them into effect -

OR replace the above mentioned files with the ones from your previous installation, then reload the plugin without commiting.

Either way works...

UPDATE @2011-10-15: 'Update Plugin' button in plugin manager takes care of all this who-shot-john for you, so you don't miss a beat...
