Hello,
Spotlight and Finder are unable to find some of my jpeg pictures. However, if I include system files in the finder search, they all show up.
Any idea why this is or how to fix it?
Additional information:
- Only auto-rotate tagged pictures exported from iPhoto as originals are problematic (based on a couple of dozen or so tests).
- - The same pictures straight out of the memory card show up just fine.
- - Landscape oriented pictures exported from iPhoto at the same time and with the same settings show up without a problem.
- - I have the original, a backup and a rotated version of each problem picture. Only the rotated versions, which do not have the auto-rotate -tag anymore, show up (without turning the show system files -option on).
- Exif etc. data or finder settings don´t show any significant differences between problematic and non-problematic files.
- - However, only the problematic files have the combination of auto-rotate tag + color profile changed by iPhoto.
- Re-naming or moving to different folders doesn´t help. Neither does re-indexing the spotlight, restarting the computer or repairing permissions.
- I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Thank you in advance!
