Last post by Mario - November 28, 2023, 06:06:50 PMHi, John
you've exported all templates. My instructions were incomplete, sorry.
Which of the many templates to you use to produce the problem? Any that has SubLocationShown?
I've tried "Grod ... 80 Field". It sets all the tags, but there is no duplication, ever after a write-back.

Last post by Mario - November 28, 2023, 04:59:18 PMQuoteI know, Mario, that you are not a friend of DNGWrong. I'm a big fan of DNG.
I'm just no fan of the fact that Adobe makes changes to DNG whenever they need it for one of their applications and then all other vendors, Microsoft, the LibRaw project etc. have to catch up - which can take a long time.
And I won't go the road to implement full DNG support manually in IMatch. Way to much work and future maintenance debt in my opinion. The specification alone has over 120 pages now! The DNG SDK depends on third party software like libjpg, expat, zlib, libjxl and the Adobe XMP SDK...
QuoteQuestion: is there any other RAW file format which is documented?Nope.
If you have to use the latest features of DNG, stick to Adobe software for so long, use the DNG Converter to convert it into a support DNG variant or wait until Microsoft and LibRaw support it.

Last post by ubacher - November 28, 2023, 04:25:25 PMI know, Mario, that you are not a friend of DNG - but look at it this way: It is at least documented and in the
public domain. Here is what I found on the Adobe website:
public domain. Here is what I found on the Adobe website:
QuoteDNG 1.7.0.0 Specification (June 2023)Question: is there any other RAW file format which is documented?
Download the specification, which describes a nonproprietary file format for storing camera raw files that can be used by a wide range of hardware and software vendors.

DNG SDK
The DNG SDK provides support for reading and writing DNG files as well as for converting DNG data to a format that is easily displayed or processed by imaging applications. This SDK can serve as a starting point for the addition of DNG support to existing applications that use and manipulate images or as an aid to the inclusion of DNG support within cameras.

Last post by Rene Toepfer - November 28, 2023, 10:46:27 AMAuto pause is a general setting for me but it can be waived. As Mario confirmed manual pause remains.

Last post by Mario - November 28, 2023, 10:36:40 AMStrange. Pause works here both by clicking the button and the Ctrl+SPACE keyboard shortcut.
If a user has enabled an auto pause it is still active after switching to the ribbon. But cannot longer be disabled.
Turn off auto pause using the regular toolbar and then switch to the ribbon.
I have already removed all the auto pause stuff for the next release.

Last post by Rene Toepfer - November 28, 2023, 10:32:03 AMIt's mainly not auto pause I was asking for. I cannot switch off the pause with new ribbon if it was switched on with old menu.
This is what I have done:
For the auto pause I will give my vote in linked thread.
This is what I have done:
- With old menu I have activated the auto pause (was a general setting in my workflow)
- Then I have switched to the new ribbon
- With new ribbon I cannot switch off pause generally not only related to auto pause. Each time I click the new pause button it changes to off but almost immediatly the pause will be activated again while file window reloads the folder.
- If I switch back to old menu, I can switch off pause
- Now I change back to the new ribbon and the pause remains switched off
For the auto pause I will give my vote in linked thread.

Last post by Mario - November 28, 2023, 10:27:49 AMI understand that Adobe, again, has changed or enhanced the DNG format to support a feature in one of their applications.
When I look at your image with the IMatch WIC diagnosis I see:
So, neither the DNG codecs integrated in Windows nor LibRaw support your new fancy DNG variant yet.
You will have to wait until (and if) Microsoft and the LibRaw project run by a volunteer catch up with the changes Adobe has done to DNG this time. So much for a "standard" format.
Or, Adobe, as a billion dollar company, could spend a couple of thousand dollars to provide a DNG WIC codec that handles all their DNG variants? They did once, in the past. But then stopped. Probably with the same reason they closed the formerly open PSD format with version 6 and stopped documenting it...it's all about customer retention and lock-in.

QuoteThe newest dng converter can handle these files and convert them to an older dng standard version.That should solve your problem then?

General Discussion and Questions / Re: Files With No Attribues
Last post by Mario - November 28, 2023, 10:20:24 AMThere is no ready-made filter that processes all Attributes in all Attribute Sets and to find files without any Attribute.
You would have to setup a variable which combines all Attributes from all your Attribute sets and use it in a data-driven category. All files without any Attribute value should then end up in "Other". Not sure how fast this would be, but it should work.
