Having just upgraded to new macpro wham bam machine, i finally have enough juice to run Lightroom, and i hope to introduce it is the key part of my workflow.
As i am still getting used to LR, i have also been editing and rating images through Bridge. So yesterday i realised i should be doing all this editing and selecting in LR and wanted to sync my ratings from Bridge into LR for images that had already been imported.
I found the Library>Sync Folder and ticked all boxes and then hit Synchronize. The images are then updated but the star ratings are not assigned to the thumb. Images that have had rating/metadata changes then have an up arrow in the top right corner, which i have to click again and then get another dialog box about "How should Lightroom synchronize this data?"
I click import from disk and my ratings appear. How can i get this step to do it automatically?
Furthermore i need to go through every folder and wait for thumbs to build before this arrow appears. I am thinking it is quicker and easier to just re-import the folders.
Is there a way to automate this process?
Also, will metadata edits in LR be readable in Bridge if i choose to sync back in other direction?
Thanks
