ImageIngester not applying Catalog Sets?

[bcarlson]

First off, I'm new to DAM so please be patient.

I'm doing some preliminary tests to make sure my programs are working and I'm doing everything correct. I applied catalog sets in ImageIngester like Peter does in the book:

Catalog Sets
   Jobs
      {@client.name}
          {@project.name}

I go through the process of checking the images, applying some metadata, and doing some rating in Bridge. Then I move these images out of the 'Rate and Adjust' folder into the 'Transfer Me' folder (where they go into their buckets). Once I drag this folder into Media Pro everything seems to show up except the Catalog Sets I applied in Image Ingester.

Would someone please help me out with this? I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8. If you've got any additional questions feel free to ask away

Thanks in advance!

Is the sidecar (XMP file) written by ImageIngester still with the image?

Note that if the image already has a sidecar when II is run, II will not create a new one or modify the existing one.

I am converting to DNG so there shouldn't be a sidecar, correct?
