1. Re: How to refresh tags in PSE8 Organizer
johnrellis Mar 1, 2010 8:37 PM (in response to Peter_McC)The command Edit > Update Thumbnail will re-read a photo's date/time, caption, note, star rating, and GPS/map location. But unfortunatley, it doesn't re-read the tags -- for tags, you have to re-import the photo.

2. Re: How to refresh tags in PSE8 Organizer
Peter_McC Mar 2, 2010 12:14 AM (in response to johnrellis)Thanks for this.
I've just done a few tests and I see that, when I update the thumbnail, the caption is updated but the star rating is not updated.
I find the whole system of not writing out the metadata to the image, unless requested, and there being no way to update certein metadata, other than re-import somewhat unsatisfactory. I suppose that this is the downside of using a database to hold the information.

I was mistaken about the rating -- date/time, caption, notes, and GPS/map location are imported, but rating isn't.

It has nothing to do with the use of a database -- it's a design decision that Adobe made for PSE. There are other organizers that use a database and also keep files' metadata up-to-date (e.g. Windows Live Photo Gallery).
