Lightroom & Bridge: Missing Icon: “Metadata File Needs to be updated”
- Issue: When customer makes a change to Metadata in Bridge to a JPG file that already exists in Lightroom Classic Catalog the Metadata change icon should appear in Lightroom.
- Problem Created: Customer has no way of knowing that the image on his screen in Lightroom Classic Catalog is wrong and needs to be updated.
- This problem does NOT occur when the image is a RAW file. The icon DOES appear.
- Customer must sync the file in Lightroom for Icon to appear.
- Article: Advanced metadata actions: States the following definition for the icon:
Message: “Metadata Was Changed Externally”.
Indicates metadata changes made to the photo in an external application and not applied in Lightroom Classic. https://helpx.adobe.com/in/lightroom-classic/help/advanced-metadata-actions.html - Perform test. Add JPG file to Lightroom Classic catalog. Open Bridge, select that file, File on main menu/File Info/Enter Keyword change to the proper area (i.e. “Does icon appear? Keyword from Bridge”)/ok. Return to lightroom and the Keyword does not appear and the icon does not appear. Customer must sync the file for these two things to happen.
- This problem does not happen when the source file is a RAW file.
