With FastRawViewer and PhotoLab you have the core of the most efficient and high quality photo post-production workflow known to man.īased on what I have observed, the only thing that comes over from FRV is rating, which is read from the FRV created XMP file. However, there is no rating key in the “dop” file. Instead, it seems it is recorded in the ZRANK field of the ZDOPITEM table of a database file at ~/Library/DxO PhotoLab v2/DOPDatabaseV2.dopdata.

Once it is in the database, it can not be updated by changes made to an xmp file.

Even deleting that value (or replacing with a null char) in the database will not cause the value to be reread from the xmp file. I had to delete the database to to get ratings in xmp files to reimport. This behavior is unfortunate as once a file has been touched by DxO, its rating is only changed from there, and once changed, will not be updated in any other app you may be using for culling and DAM.

In contrast, FRV and NeoFinder play nice together (seeing changes each other make to metadata).

IMHO… unless I’m missing something, this should be fixed as it negates a big chunk of functionality from PhotoLab… but as I don’t use it as a DAM it is not that big a deal to me.How can Uninstall FastRawViewer 1.4.3 Totally from Your Mac Because of this I choose to simply ignore ratings in DxO. When there is a need to uninstall FastRawViewer 1.4.3 on your Mac computer, do you think it is just a piece of cake or a difficult task for you? Different people may give different answer to this question, but it is a fact that some problems always exist and trouble you to remove this app under the OS X.
