Title: Moving photos loses tag
Post by: chirpp on June 25, 2009, 09:51:18 pm

I decided to go through my photos and tag them accordingly using MC.  To do this, I copied all photos to a laptop running MC13. This way I could be off line and tag. I kept as much of the directory structure as I could.  My main photos are on a server referenced as Z:\My Pictures\. I copied to my local laptop under My Documents\My pictures.

So I tagged them with Events, People, and Places, about 2 years worth anyway, not all. I decided last night to upload what I have done thus far so I don't lose anything. 

 

First I moved my Z:\My Pictures\2008_12_1\Files, and several other folders as well (the ones I knew I had tagged on my laptop) to a different location.  Then I copied from my laptop to the Z:\My Pictures. Same folder structure and files just should have the tags included. 

 

I opened MC14 and viewed my pictures and there are no tags in Events, People or places are that I previously had done. Does it not keep the tag in the file itself?  If not, can I some how export this data and import into my library that points to Z:\My Pictures?

Not all formats may have tags.  jpg files do.

Try Library Tools/update tags from library.

Sounds so easy....They are jpg. I updated tags and we are in business. 

Thanks!
