Hello,

I'm using Lightroom 2 and an LR/Transporter plugin that allows me to automatically create a text file which contains metadata line caption or additional fields. As long as I add one photo, or several photos browsed one by one, with an relevant metainfo.txt file, everything is fine. I upload several photos and all metadata is properly propagated with them.

The problem appears when I want to upload the same several photos but in one ZIP file. In this case metainfo file is uploaded (I can see "Metainfo found" message, see below), but is totally ignored - no data from metainfo file appears with uploaded photos.

I was searching the forum but found only this discussion: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/19666#comment-95305, which happened three years ago.

Does this feature work for you?
