Photo Supreme

I have encountered a few photos which, when opened from the thumbnail, after a second or so display as blank, although the thumbnail is OK. If I refresh the thumbnail (Operations, Rebuild selected thumbnails) then that too shows blank. The attached video clip shows some blank thumbnails, and the ...

'Yes' is the answer to your question, Geoff. Mine does, and it's about 18 months old!

Based on the points made by Vlad at the beginning of this thread, I’ve tried to list below issues related to label revocation which I think need addressing. If any of these are based on false premises, please put me right! If there are reasons for preserving the status quo I would really like to ...

Vlad, I’ve reported in Mantis #2914 the issue of the global setting “Include all parent level labels as keywords” causing parent level mapping.

I thought I would check whether the non-creation of metadata only applied to location labels, and experimented with a few object and people labels (the ...

Whatever the history, Michael, if PSU allows me to map a label to a Iptc4xmpExt:LocationShown field, then I would expect that field to be populated. It isn’t, and the same applies if I specify Iptc4xmpExt:LocationCreated fields. In checking this, I have discovered another anomaly.

In the global ...

Thanks Vlad. I haven't time now to deal with all the points you raise (just about to go away, and will have no PSU and generally no connection), but on this question: Are the mapped Iptc4xmpExt fields correctly written upon syncing? If yes, then the difference in timing between the updates may be ...

Thanks Vlad, for putting me straight

An interesting issue could arise, however, if Hert implements metadata clearing (update) upon label revocation. I’ve been giving the revocation issue a bit of thought – would seem better to deal with it that under the Label revocation: findings + comments ...

Vlad, let me deal first with something I’ve got completely wrong (sorry – I’ve been getting confused by too many cases I’ve considered!).
I said
One significant consequence of this not happening is when the wrong city (say) has been assigned. Whether that assignment is revoked or not, any ...

I also think it should default to creating a keyword. Long term thinking: I'd rather have the default settable (but overrideable) for the whole Places category rather than specifically for how location labels are created via the Geo Tag panel. That process should simply obey the default ...

For the moment, just a question.

Hert, you say PSU maintains the Event and People and Place metadata from catalog labels in the respective top category's structure.
My understanding is that this is true of Event and People, where the mapping is implicit (built into PSU), but Place metadata is only ...

Yes – thanks, Hert, for the global promise!

I have some questions beyond those raised by Vlad, concerned with different behaviours depending on whether a place is assigned directly or as a result of using the GEO Tag panel

1. If I create a label in the Catalog directly or by using the Assign panel ...

Thanks for the tips, Vlad, Mke. (You were right, vlad, about the “Do not ask me again?” box – no doubt inadvertent, because like you I don’t generally choose that).

Mke, I too would support the idea of an “X” button for location fields that you don’t want converted to labels. However, like vlad, I ...

Thanks Vlad, Hert, for responding.

For deleting the coordinates it wouldn’t have (didn’t!) occur to me to delete the map marker. The obvious thing I would have thought is to allow them to be highlighted and then deleted (in the GEO Tag panel or in the Details panel). I did subsequently stumble on ...

I have been identifying the location (places and coordinates) of some pictures of Nepal, and encountered a few issues.

(1) In the GEO Tag panel I set City = “Namche” and then did a lookup to get the coordinates. These were different from the coordinates on another picture, also with City = “Namche ...

Absolutely, Vlad - I'm being irrational.

Having disabled IE Protected Mode my system worked for another couple of days and then failed again. I eventually traced the problem to another piece of software which was behaving like a firewall (although not identified as one). I've re-set IE Protected ...
