Bug? catalog:batchGetRawMetadata doesn't recognize many keys

[John R Ellis]

The method catalog:batchGetRawMetadata raises an error when presented with any of these keys:

countVirtualCopies, masterPhoto, isVirtualCopy, countStackInFolderMembers, isInStackInFolder, stackInFolderIsCollapsed, stackPositionInFolder, topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto, durationInSeconds, keywords

The error is:

An internal errr has occurred: Unknown key: "<key>"

These keys don't raise an error when passed to photo:getRawMetadata. (While a functional workaround is to call getRawMetadata, when processing many photos that's 5-10 times slow.)

Assuming this indeed is a bug, what's the best way to report it?

Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think (based on my  memory of the answer to this same question having been asked in the  past) this forum is the proper channel for reporting SDK bugs - the  official channel for bugs in most other products is  https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Thanks.

It means I answered a lot of questions on the Photoshop Elements forum.

It does indeed appear to be a bug, and I will log it internally. (Thanks for the detail in your report.)

Regarding how to report a bug, issues reported here on this forum are not guaranteed to be noticed by an employee. To be certain that Adobe eyes will see it, a bug should be reported here, as stated elsewhere in this thread:
