Filled in caption in Lightroom is lost in Bridge

[johnp28898988]

Hi,

I work in Lightroom where I fill in the caption and rate my pictures with stars.

Normally when I open the same set of pictures in Bridge the caption is filled in, with the same star rating.

But since this week not anymore. When I open my folder with pictures the caption is blank and no rating. When I want to move my folder to my back up disk, I will be moving pictures with an empty caption. So now I have to fill in and rate the pictures again also in Bridge

Does anybody know, how to solve this?

Hi JohnP,

Please refer the solution of this forum thread Special characters in the Caption/Abstract metadata field and let us know if the explanation helps sorting the issue.

Thanks.

Ensure that you are either manually or automatically writing changes to XMP to the file and not just the catalogue.

Thnx,

Like in Stephen's answer I found out that I had to tick the box in catalogue settings: Automatically write changes into XMP

Also I didn't see that in the export settings in Lightroom under metadata the boxes Delete Personal info and Location info, were also ticked. So I unchecked them, and the problem is solved.
