Robin

I have been using EM happily for a year now, storing all my DNG files (up to
20,000 files / 400 mb).
I wanted to check on performance of a questionable lens so thought I would
find all files taken
1. on my D50
2. with my 80-400 lens
3. at varying apertures.

When I pulled up the 'Find' box I was surprised that I could only get as far
as selecting by camera. Among all the other options there was no mention of
the Exif lens info (unless I'm missing something really obvious).

I spent 20 minutes searching these forums, sure that someone else must have
come up against this wall, no luck so far. If anyone has any insight I'd
much appreciate hearing from you.

Regards

Robin

Robin,

Unfortunately we have limited functionality related to sorting by EXIF
data. The source device is available, but we do not have available sort
options for the lens or aperture. This is a feature that has been
suggested to our developers and is under review for future versions of
Expression Media. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Best Regards,

Robin,

That's correct; these features are also unavailable in Media 2.

While we are all waiting for MS to get EM 2 'whipped-into-shape' --you might
try using 'Exposure Plot', either use the standalone program or use the same
'Exposure Plot' functionality within Wega2.

( http://www.wega2.vandel.nl/ )

This may not do everything you had in mind with EM 2, or it might just
surprise you --I sure like it.

Hi Robin,

Alternatively, you can use the script called "Description from EXIF
fields.vbs" (Scripts menu > Annotate) which will write all the EXIF data
into Caption. The data in Caption field is searchable. You can modify the
script to write only the required EXIF fields into Caption (comment
unwanted fields in the code). Also, this script can be modified to write
EXIF data to your custom fields instead.

Hi Robin,

I apologize for the delay. I've modified the script so that it can write
the EXIF information into your custom fields. You can download the script
from here: http://cid-2911b33408e8f6f9.skydrive...se.aspx/Public

Please follow the steps given below to configure and use the script:

1) Download the script and change file extension from .txt to .vbs.
2) Place the "EXIFToCustomFields.vbs" file into "C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\Expression Media 2\Plug-ins\Scripts"
folder.
3) Launch Expression Media and create following custom fields (Fields names
should be exactly same as given below):
Model
ISO
Aperture
Focal Length
Shutter Speed
Lens
4) Open the catalog, select images, and click Scripts > EXIFToCustomFields.
The script will write the EXIF data to respective custom fields.

Warning: This script is not tested completely. Please test this script
before trying this on your production workflow. Also, take back-up of your
pictures before running the script. Feel Free to modify the code as
necessary.
