Editing IPTC data using the Image Details editor

I am trying to add headlines, descriptions, and sometimes other IPTC information, using the Image Details editor, but having problems getting it to work. My sequence is:


select an image
open the Image Details editor
amend the relevant Image Details field in the panel in the editor (eg add a ...

Re: "Apply import detail profile" issue

I have now found the solution to the problem. When I entered the detail profile editor, I was choosing a profile from the list at the top of the editor, rather than the one immediately offered in the editor. Editing direct works correctly.

Re: "Apply import detail profile" issue

Yes it does. Also, where appropriate, red indicators set to clear fields and yellowish to not make changes. I dont use the append to content setting anywhere.

"Apply import detail profile" issue

When importing images the Apply import detail profile option does not appear to work.

I can select the option; can select the profile editor via the button; can select a detail profile in the editor; can edit it and choose OK to exit.

When I go on to complete the import, none of the changes in ...

Subfolder mask difficulty

I have a problem with the folder mask for import. It is not behaving the way I expect, and does not operate in the same way that the filename mask does.

I set up a custom defined filename (%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh-%nn-%ss %FileName.%FileExtension)
saved the file
applied the file
saved the import profile ...

Re: IdImager v5 to Photo Supreme v4 migration

I was not aware that migration might be as simple as opening an IdImager database in Photo Supreme. I was anticipating having to write a complex query to convert an IdI database in SQL Server 2005 to a PSu database in SQLite. I did not know how close the database schemas for IdI and PSu were.

I did ...

Re: IdImager v5 to Photo Supreme v4 migration

My installation of IdI does NOT write out the ICS to the images under any circumstances. All settings are as appropriate to write the ICS; it just does not work.

(I indicated previously that there is functionality in my setup that no longer works. This is another such failing functionality, and is ...

Re: IdImager v5 to Photo Supreme v4 migration


Option 2 :
a. In IDimager, enable ICS writing (if not active yet)
b. Write metadata to your images if they don't have ICS in them
c. Install PSU SIngle User edition
d. In Preferences, enable the Synchronize-Read-ICS setting
e. Import the images from the file system

PSU will then re-generate your ...

Re: IdImager v5 to Photo Supreme v4 migration

Thank you.

While I am not likely to use option 1, if it becomes necessary, is SQL Server 2017 Express a suitable database to underpin the proposed migration?

Option 2 is my way forward I think. ICS writing is enabled, and has been for a long time. If the catalog is based on a working (partial ...

IdImager v5 to Photo Supreme v4 migration

I have reached the position that I must migrate from IdImager. My obvious migration path is to Photo Supreme. I am doing a lot of testing of possible migration processes. I have encountered a problem converting the catalog from IdI to PSu.

If any of the following are available, could you please ...
