Title: suddenly a reject-icon
Post by: sinus on October 20, 2016, 11:17:35 AM
Hi Mario
I do not know, is this a bug, or do I something wrong, hence I post it here.

Currently I do from time to time write back some nefs in the collection-view.
Sometimes this works fine.

Sometimes there are suddenly several files "half-deleted". Means, there is the reject-icon, sometimes for several dozens of files.
Here I have started IMatch quite new, and selected only 1 file, pushed the pencil and it ended with the icon.

Log is attached. Maybe you see something?

Look at the rating in the file. If the rating is -1, this means the file is rejected.
Note that some Nikon bodies write partial XMP records, with a rating tag. And this can cause trouble when you usually work with XMP in sidecar files (which is the standard way, but Nikon does not care).

Use the ExifTool Command Processor to look at the metadata in the NEF file. Look for the rating tag.
If the NEF has embedded XMP tag, you work with two XMP records with different data. Then you have to decide what to do.

Thanks, Mario, for the quick answer, I will do so.
