Hello, I rencently wanted to merge some settings to a binch of photos.
I set everything to the first one, adjusted to fit my taste, then copy the selected values, and finally pasted those same values to over 1200 photos. At this time, I realized that I had left the parmeter set to overwrite instead of merge (or stack, I don't remember the english parameter). Anyway, I lost all the previous settings, which is terrible since I had spent over 5 hours (at least) to get the photos match what I wanted. No worry, I thought : I had exported them to jpeg, so it might be easy to retrieve the settings. What I did : 1- erase the entries from the current library 2- close DT and rename the current library 3- import the jpegs, save all as sidecars and close DT 4- rename the sidecars from .jpg.xml to .nef.xml and replace those in the pictures' directory 5- delete the newly created library and restore the previous one 6- open DT, re-import the folder containing my photos. At this time, I expected to see the history for each photo, but, despites the fact all seem to display as before I overwrote instead of merging, the only entries in the history are Original and Orientation. So, when I attempt to apply the new settings as I first wanted, they display over-over-over-exposed. Any idea what I could have done wrong ?
