I hope that without too much difficulty, you can tweak all the beautiful work you've done and make them available in v2. Gratefully yours, Christopher Campbell <span class='jfriedl'>They should work just fine in 2.0... I'm still using the one I made for LR1.0. —Jeffrey</span> Hi Jeffrey, I have found your Metadata Viewer Presets to be absolutely indispensable, but not surprisingly, they don’t seem to be working in Lightroom 2.

Got the same error Im using Lightroom 1.3.1 and Using Windows Vista Ultimate

An unexpected error occured while loading a module:

Assertion failed: lua_pcall(L, 2, 1, 0) == 0

Lightroom freezes and need it to clotes with Control + ALT + Del and close the program The problem was fixed by deleting the Metadata Field Lists.

When I do that with Fotostation, I can alo see my metadata in for example 'file info' of Photoshop and vice versa. With Lightroom however I can only read my metadata on that program but when I open an image in Photoshop or Fotostation ... no metadata ... !? Comments welcome ...

File caused LR to freeze and had to use ctrl/alt/del to terminate program. Empty folder "Metadata Field Lists" caused no problems. File placed in the folder caused the freeze. Using LR 1.3 Followed all directions. File caused LR to freeze and had to use ctrl/alt/del to terminate program. Empty folder “Metadata Field Lists” caused no problems. File placed in the folder caused the freeze.

Using LR 1.3

It's just what I was looking for. I found one issue which I hope can be addressed. I've created the following Metadata set: http://regex.info/Lightroom/Meta/View=csa In the 'Creator' section it lists all the labels correctly on the website but when using the set in Lightroom 1.3, all labels in this section automatically get a 'Creator' prefix. This results in large labels, especially in case of the 'State / Province' label, leaving less room for all the input fields behind the labels. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? A work-around for this issue is providing custom labels with basically the same labels without the prefix as in: http://regex.info/Lightroom/Meta/View=e65 Many thanks for this great tool.

I'd really like to display the "lensID" information, since that usually includes the manufacturer. I had been testing various brands of almost identical wide angle lenses. It's sometimes difficult to remember whether the 11-18mm/f3.5-5.6, the 12-24mm/f4.5-5.6, or the 12-24mm/f4, is made by Tokina, Sigma, Tamron or Nikon. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, cool tool. Thanks. This came so close to fixing my problem.

I want to create 3 keyword fields: Main Keywords, Essential Keywords and Comprehensive Keywords. It seems that the Keyword field only allows a category and a supplemental category, but not another supplemental category. Having tried having two supplementals they both input the same keywords. Is there a way to have a third or is it limited by the database? Thanks again Jeffry, this is a great piece of work - so thanks for sharing!

Works perfect without any problems on my Tiger MacBook Pro with Lightroom 1.2. Many thanks Jeffrey! This way, I could also rename and move the unfortunate and confusing "Title" field that Adobe adopted to place above the Caption -- that "Title" field, according to the IPTC standard, is intended as a shorthand reference for the image, primarily for identification, NOT as a headline title! Aperture uses the original "Object Name" for that field. In the RDF project (a kind of successor to IPTC), that field is called Identifier. I renamed the field to 'Reference Title', and have instead moved the "real" IPTC Headline field right above the Caption. Naming it 'Reference Title' conveys the purpose while at the same time reminding me that it is just called Title in the IPTC Status section. With the Best Regards Awesome!

The Metadata set seems to work fine with XP Pro. We're setting up a studio for 15 - 20 art conservators with a range of computer familiarity. Simplify is our mantra and you've helped a great deal. Any thoughts on hiding or turning off some of the module components? Extensis Portfolio offers this (which could be a deal breaker), but I'd rather use Lightroom. Thank you.
