    Metadata Templates Disabled

    Jack Community Member

      fter performing some maintenance on metadata templates, with Bridge CS4 in OSX-Lion, when I go to Tools | Replace Metadata, all items in the list of templates are disabled (grayed out). Have tried stopping/restarting Bridge and restarting my Mac. Result is the same.

       

      Would you please show me how to re-enable the templates shown in the list.

       

      Best,

          As I recall selecting an older file in Bridge that already has a (former) template would activate the new ones, if you don't have one in present folder choose a folder with older files. Don't know why or what for but think this is what I did to reveal the templates again.

            Tried that but it did not help in my case. I narrowed the problem down to only 20 images. Will try to delete and reload from SD card, since I still have them. This is one weird problem, however. Happened with images from my Panasonic Lumix G2K, RW2 files converted to DNG.

              First check if those files are not locked and the folder or drive they are on has read and write permission. If so try to select these files and with right mouse click choose purge cache for selection, maybe that will help
