Whenever I try to transfer files, either over a network or via a portable hard drive, the file browser behaves unpredictably. On the new computer, the thumbnails sometimes pop right up perfectly, other times the new computer needs to re-write all the xmp information and then redraw all the previews. Sometimes the pictures I had turned to vertical come in on their side, sometimes not. Sometimes the file will open up with the correct appearance, but the thumbnail will look like it’s in "camera default".
Example: I just moved a folder full of raw files and updated cache info from a storage hard drive to my main drive on the PC. The new thumbnails now have no ranking info, they are all in horizontal orientation, and the exposure settings for some, but not all, of them looks out of date.
I’m using the CS File Browser with Fuji S-2 raw files on a G-4 iBook (640 MB ram) and a PC with Windows XP (1 GB ram). (The problem happens on the Mac iBook as well.)
I always run "export cache" after I’ve first adjusted the settings on a batch of files, and I have the preferences set to keep the "sidecar" files with the master files. I know that the three little data files the "export" commands creates are getting transferred to the new location.
Anyway, I’m really confused about this. I feel like I have read as much as the manual tells me, but the whole issue of xmp, cache, sidecar, iptc is just awfully confusing.
Is it me or is it the program?
Thanks, MB
