Hi,

I am attempting to use LRTimelapse. When I select a folder for the images I want and click Initialize it reads in data and creates the Mean (Yellow) and Exposure (Blue) lines then a message appears that says "Transferring Exif-Data into XMP..." and it hangs there.

I have waited an hour and nothing changes

Define Ref-Area doesn't work and Keyframes Wizard is greyed out.

If I click Save XMP, it responds "Please wait until the background process finishes or abort it".

I have waited over an hour and still no change.
I have exited, restarted the computer, and LRT and tried a different folder and get the same results.

Windows 7 64bit
32 Gigs of RAM
120 Gigs free space on the working drive
263 Gigs free on temp drive
LRT 2.3.1

Uninstalled, Restarted Computer, Reinstalled. That appears to have fixed the problem. :-)

Okay, good to hear. There seemed to be an issue with Exiftool according to the log. I'm glad you sorted it out!
