I wrote metadata for a couple models that I created in ArcGIS Pro, and upon finding something in the metadata I wanted to change, I went back again to edit the metadata (right clicked on model in Catalog pane > Edit Metadata). However, after making my changes and clicking "Save," my work did not save. I have tried opening and closing the metadata editor, restarting Pro, restarting my computer...nothing.

Does anyone know why this is happening or how (any way, custom python scripts, whatever) I can most easily work around this bug and update my metadata? This is the latest in a long line of difficulties I have been having in saving metadata for models and script tools in ArcGIS Pro.
- My models are saved in a custom toolbox that I created. Originally I created the toolbox in ArcGIS Pro, but I have been cycling through different versions of my final toolbox so I copied the toolbox (several times now) in ArcCatalog and then continued to edit the new copy in ArcGIS Pro. The tools run fine. I just have trouble creating metadata that persists.
- The other week, when I was using ArcGIS Pro version 2.1.2, I discovered that changing the name of a parameter in a model deletes the metadata for that parameter (taught me to save all my model metadata in an external file), but I have not made any changes to the model that I am trying to update today.
Thank you for posting this. I had this same issue and found a related bug in the Esri support KB: BUG-000139203 Editing and saving changes made to a model removes any changes made to the metadata when the model is opened for editing. Closing the model seemed to work for me. I also was curious about whether I had to both save the metadata using Save on the Metadata ribbon and save the Pro project. I tested and found that saving on the ribbon only was sufficient.
I created metadata when I made a shapefile using ArcGIS. I saved the shapefile to my computer. I want to edit that metadata in ArcPro, but I get a message saying it is Read Only. How do I change this?
My overall goal is to edit that metadata and then have it connected to the layer when I upload it into AGOL, but I understand ArcGIS will not do that so I need to go through Pro. Correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
How did you create the shapefile's metadata? Do you mean the metadata you have shows up under the "FGDC Metadata (read-only)" heading in the ArcMap/ArcCatalog metadata display, and the Upgrade button is available in the Description tab? That content is not visible in ArcGIS Pro at all.
The ArcGIS platform, including ArcMap/ArcCatalog, ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online, requires metadata content to be stored with the data in the ArcGIS metadata format. That means you will have to "Upgrade" the CSDGM XML format metadata content that you have to the ArcGIS metadata XML format in either ArcMap/ArcCatalog or ArcGIS Pro before you can publish it with your data to ArcGIS Online. The same is true regardless of which application you use to publish your data.
Hi Richard, it's actually the designed behavior. The layer metadata is populated from the feature class metadata and is read-only by default to keep them in synch. If you want to edit the layer metadata independently of its source metadata, open the layer properties, click the Metadata tab on the left side of the Layer Properties dialog box, and change the drop-down setting at the top to Layer has its own metadata.
I am trying to create a new metadata object, push it into the layer's metadata, and then publish it to ArcGIS Online with that metadata intact. I don't want to attach the metadata to the feature class in the gdb, because I have different layers with the same data source, but each with different metadata, to be published as AGOL hosted feature layers.
ExifTool is a platform-independent Perl library plus a command-line application for reading, writing and editing meta information in a wide variety of files. ExifTool supports many different metadata formats including EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3, as well as the maker notes of many digital cameras.ExifTool
From the project's website:pyExifToolGui is a graphical frontend for the excellent open source command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey. pyExifToolGui is a python pySide QT4 script program that reads and writes all kind of metadata tags from/to image files. A strong point of this software is the ability to write the data, copied or not from a source image (reference image), to multiple images at once.
GIMP 2.9.4 and later has a built-in metadata editor. It is accessed by selecting Image -> Metadata -> Edit Metadata. The GIMP Metadata Editor can edit a wide variety of image metadata fields including GPS metadata. To write metadata click the Write Metadata button in the lower right corner of the Metadata Editor window.
Image::ExifTool (libimage-exiftool-perl) is a library and program (exiftool) to read and write metadata information in multimedia files. To install libimage-exiftool-perl in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:
With Nautilus and Nemo, you have a tab with image properties where you can find the metadata.If you're using Dolphin like me (with Kubuntu for example), wherethere is not a such information, you can install Nemo and use it instead of Dolphin for this purpose.I use Nemo for this kind of operations and I am still using Dolphin for the other ordinary ones.
Anyone who has tried to edit the metadata of a digital file will know that the task can be quite daunting and time-consuming, especially if there are a large quantity of files to edit. Metadata editing software simplifies this process and gives users more power and control.
One of the main reasons users who need a metadata editor cite is its ability to prevent unwanted errors and inaccuracies within important files. Having a system so capable of preventing and fixing errors keeps work moving along smoothly. On top of this, the editor often handles processes that manual entering, which we will go over later, cannot.
ExifTool allows users who need extensive metadata editing within highly specific digital files to accomplish their goals. ExifTool handles common as well as uncommon file types, making this program extremely useful to the few who do use them often. The program is available for Windows, Mac and even lesser-used operating systems.
Note that, like many editing systems, ExifTool also acts as a way for users to open obscure digital file types for viewing and reading. This includes numerous camera file types from most makes and models. It also does helpful processes outside metadata editing, such as backing up images automatically and allowing users to input their own keywords.
TigoTago operates by acting like a simplified editing tool which brings up a window over items you wish to edit. This gives users an easy way to change metadata within something like an MP3, such as the title or artist. Use TigoTago if you prioritize ease of use over technologically-advanced systems.
One way the MP4 Video & Tag Editor is helpful is in its organizational prowess, giving users the chance to add important keywords and even images/covers to videos and songs with minimal effort. This makes this program unique. Consider using it if you need metadata editing with a more personalized touch for your digital media collection.
Metadata++ is a system that exists only to edit metadata efficiently. Note that not every metadata editor, including the ones listed here, are exclusively metadata editors. Good or bad, this reality makes Metadata++ a solid freeware program since it focuses solely on making your metadata editing tasks easier.
Metadata++ is a Windows system that offers a smooth interface and fast editing. There are even different hotkeys that let users quickly move through their metadata editing tasks without constant clicking of the mouse.
2021 is an exciting time for metadata, as we continue to see epic growth and expansion of data and its many uses. Make sure that you have an editing system that fits your specific needs. Chances are it will come in handy more than you think.
Having said that, I was able to Edit the metadata on Tidal tags in Serato and then use them for filtering tracks. I believe this is the only core feature missing for me from DjayPro. Looking back at comments it seems this has been requested since 2013, curious if this is on any roadmap?
How can I change the metadata of a file with ffmpeg/avconv without changing the audio or video of it and without creating a new file? Is there another commandline/python tool which would do the job for me?
I thought ffmpeg/avconv could be such a tool, because it can handle nearly all media formats. I hoped, that if I set -i input_file and the output_file to the same file, ffmpeg/avconv will be smart enough to leave the file unchanged. Then I could set -metadata key=value and just the metadata will be changed.
Since changing the metadata will change the length of the file, and I expect the metadata is near the beginning of the file, the audio and video would start at a different offset from the beginning of the file. So you cannot alter the metadata without first creating a temporary file, then renaming files after.
If the new metadata were exactly the same size, and you know where the metadata was located in the container (file) you might be able to use a hex editor of some kind to simply replace characters. Good luck with that.
This depends on the physical location of the metadata in the file. If the data is at the head of the file, you might be able to 'slice' that section off and edit the data then 'splice' the sections back together. This would only be useful if you had a lot of files to do in a batch. If only one is to be edited, use one of the two-copy methods.
My other option is to write a python script that uses Exiftool to parse the existing metadata and write new values. But this seems like a common enough problem, I would think that someone had already figured out a quick solution.
