Read Title, caption from LR XMP
Answered
In LR (6.14) I have file with XMP file that shows image's title and caption. If I open that file in on1, I am not seeing that show up. Does the file have to be in a on1 catalog to show up? Right now, I'm just browsing folders with on1.

No, catalogs are not needed. The program should be reading that EXIF data automatically.
Would you care to share one of your problem files? Zip together the image file with its .xmp file from Lr and post that to a file sharing site like Dropbox or WeTransfer then post the download link here. I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what is going on.

Sorry for late followup. Still not working for me. In LR 6.14, I save XMP (Ctrl-S) to xmp for a NEF RAW file. Title and description fields are listed in the file. I open on1 and file shows none of this metadata even if I manually read metadale from the file. I've tried closing and restarted on1 in case that was an issue with no change.
When I migrated that same image from a test catalog with that the folder of images, then it did include the title and description. At this point, I really don't want to migrate my LR catalog as it is so large.
Here is link to a NEF and LR XMP: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/2h1yf21r8f8ddph5d4ji2/h?rlkey=e70bgv9axl4zl1aqvavjrr76q&dl=0

I'm sorry but there isn't anything in your Public folder for me to download.

Must have put in wrong folder. Please retry. Thanks.

Got it. I'll take a look in a minute.

When I look at the .xmp file in a text editor I can see there are Description and Title fields which contain data (there are others which are empty) and both of those are showing up in Photo RAW 2023.5 on my system.
Are you not seeing this?

BTW, I'm leaving in the morning for the weekend and I'll be offline pretty much the whole time. Too much driving and no service when I'm not. 😀
If you don't hear from me I'm not ignoring you, I'm just out of reach.

I don't know what's up. Earlier this mornin, it seemed like no data would show but suddenly now it seems to show up (mostly.) Sometimes it shows up and other times it doesn't.
However, while digging around, I notice now that I have two network volumes pointing to the same drive. One is the actual network path and the other is the mapped drive. Any way to get rid of one of the duplicate volumes in on1?

Not from within Photo Raw. Browse shows whatever you have set up in your PC, so you'd need to remove one of them from the PC to fix that.
Unless you're using catalogs, you could set it up to keep one or both of them out of the Catalog structure.

For anyone else who sees both a network path and mapped drive pointing to same network drive in on1 volumes list, this happened to me when I imported some photos into a catalog using the network path instead of my mapped drive letter. Once I deleted the catalog using that network path, it did disappear from my volumes list.

Brian,
My conclusion about the XMP info not showing in on1 is this. It takes a LONG time for it to be seen by on1. Applying thumbnail view options to photos may speed up the process. For me, when I manually read in the XMP before on1 actually sees it, then it seems that it overwrites the XMP file with empty data. That is why I couldn't see the XMP data in on1.

You should report that to tech support then.
