Damselfly is a server-based Photograph Management app. The goal of Damselfly is to index an extremely large collection of images, and allow easy search and retrieval of those images, using metadata such as the IPTC keyword tags, as well as the folder and file names.

Metadata Scan Not Completing #523

Closed grainsoflight closed 4 months ago

grainsoflight commented 5 months ago

Running a metadata scan on the full library is only returning keywords and other metadata for a portion of the library before completing. Files have been checked with Metadata++ and Adobe Bridge to confirm that the keywords do in fact exist in the files, but this information does not appear in Damselfly. Metadata format is uniform across every image in the library, so you would think if It can read one it would read all, but it never seems to populate metadata fields for certain images

Never seen this. Anything in the logs to indicate that there's errors during metadata scanning or other parts of the process?

You mention in the other issue that you're seeing errors about invalid metadata - it's likely the same underlying cause, right?

Possibly? I really dont know how to get around it. These are thousands of family photos that were all created with the same two scanners in the same way. They are all cataloged in lightroom, and at the end of evenings spent tagging, captioning and dating images, I write the all of the metadata to the files at the same time. So I am not entirely sure why a chunk of them are showing an issue, but the rest are not.

I exported everything as new PNG files and honestly I think it made it worse, I am seeing more of the "Observed multiple instances of PNG chunk 'iCCP', for which multiples are not allowed" notifications than I did previously

I can confirm that for files with that error, no metadata appears in the front end, including keywords

Can you attach an example of a file that triggers that error and I'll see if I can repro and get the metadata scanner fixed for it?
