Problem with corrupted jpegs in macOS Sierra
Hi all
I have a weird problem with MP1 on macOS Sierra. I've been using iView MP then Expression Media 1 and 2 and then MP1 and my catalogue has grown over the years. Suddenly after installing the new macOS Sierra a load of files created and catalogued in 2006-9 are reported as corrupted by the OS. It won't preview them or open them even in Photoshop CC. It's not all the files in each folder (each event is held in its own folder), but usually about half.
After a lot of faffing about I realised that what all these files have in common is that they have lost their annotations in my MP catalogue. My normal workflow has been to annotate the files using hierarchical keywords and then export the annotations so they are embedded in the file. I'm guessing that whichever version of MP I was using when these files were saved was doing so in a non-standard way which was ok at the time but the latest catalogue and OS doesn't like.
Windows 10 and a mac running El Cap display and open these files absolutely fine but Sierra doesn't. MP1 previews the files fine on my Sierra Mac but when I try to open in PS it crashes PS. If I re-annotate the file so MP1 shows annotations again and reexport them to the file, Finder still doesn't like them but PS is happy to open and re-save.
I can go through the reannotation process and open/save in PS, but of course this will lose quality. Or I can run the files through Stellar Phoenix JPEG Repair which claims to losslessly fix then, then overwrite the damaged originals and re-annotate them, which is a ballache.
So my questions are - has anyone else had this problem and is there a better fix? And is there any way to select one image and copy its annotations, then paste that to multiple others in the set. As most folders contain at least one uncorrupted image, this would speed up the catalogue repair job.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

You could export the annotions into xmp-sidecars, than replace the jpg-files and export the annotions again. That writes the information from the xmp-files back into the image files. Maybe it helps a bit. 0 -
Hi sbn
Thanks for the helpful suggestion.
I've just tested exporting the annotations from the catalog on the pc which still has its annotations, copying the sidecar file across to the affected mac and importing annotations - it works a treat.
So I can use Stellar Phoenix to recover the damaged files and then re-annotate this way in bulk.
That's going to save me loads of time.
Many thanks for your help.0
