Metadata not updating

Permanently deleted user

Let me set the stage a bit to help with the issue.

I use LightRoom to ingest, file into folders and rename all my images.  LR is set to write XMP files.

My Capture One usage is a bit odd as I use a "session" but don't import any files to it. I merely navigate to the folder of choice, select an image and work from there.  The first time doing this, C1 writes a plethora of files into a subfolder in containing all the pertinent development info. C1 is set to sync XMP files.

But C1 is not writing the ratings and colors assigned to the XMP files for raw files or directly to the files for jpg.

How do I get C1 to write the metadata? I want to use LR to manage photos after processing in C1, and not having updated metadata makes this a bit of a non-starter.

Thanks,

    Okay,

    A bit more info. LR sees Metadata for RAW files, but not jpg's. ExiftooGUI nor Windows Explorer show either.

    Can someone please provide some insight?

    thanks

    Arg. Well this is decidedly "sub-optimal"....

    Preface this with I've got an old version of LR v6.1.5. Also, I shoot RAW and jpg and rename/number them in LR so that they have the same name with different extensions. Major causality issue here.

    Doing some testing, I created a folder and brought in 1 jpg file. Set the color and stars. C1 creates an XMP file. Ding! Alert!

    LR sees none of this as it expects metadata to be written in the jpg file. 

    I copy the corresponding RAW file into the test folder.  Do a refresh in LR and boom, without making any data updates in C1, LR reads the xmp file and assigns the metadata accordingly.

    Using exiftool, I read the XMP and write into the jpg.  Ding, LR sees the data.

    Well, that gives me a path to resolution.

    Just a final entry

    John Beardworth's Syncomatic tool makes writing the XMP metadata to the jpg's in LR effortless.

    Problem solved.

    C1 will not write to/update/overwrite existing image files. C1 writes to XMP files, but they are not image files.

    You should be able to make C1 include basic metadata when processing an image to a jpeg output file. Embedding metadata at jpeg creation time is ok, that differs from updating an existing jpeg. Take a look at the Metadata pane in the recipe you use to create your jpegs.

    Every other application that I've used, except DarkTable, writes metadata to jpg files in a completely safe way as there are data areas within jpg files for doing that. Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#File_format_structure 

    Thank goodness that Phil Harvey has provided us with the wonderful exiftool app. Exiftool will allow me to write a data synchronization tool in python that makes certain metadata is correctly written in jpg files.
