Apply Automation to assets already in catalog

Hi,
it seems I missed something in the manual.
I can't find a way how to do this.
1. I have a device 'D', let's say network volume.
2. When I upload asset 'A' to the FCS, my automation copy this file to the network device 'D' and also move it to the FCS library.
3. Asset 'A' is already in FCS (in its Library)
4. I have also network device 'D1'. I need to copy asset 'A', that is already in FCS to this device.
How to do it ? I don't want to cache file and upload it again to FCS ...
I would expect something like to invoke the same dialog ( that appears when file is upploading to FCS ) with the asset(s) currently selected.
Thank you.
Peter

Hi, I am sorry for unclear post ...
Suppose you have an assets in FCS. One day you want to upload some of your assets to device that is FCS' FTP device. How to do it if asset is already in FCS ?
1. you can cache the asset to your machine and then upload it to FTP device or to FCS's device with response assigned to it which upload it there. But is not what I need (to move asset up and down).
2. I am just looking for something like "right click" on asset in FCS and choose a command "Upload to device ..." or "Execute response" ....
I hope it is clear now.

Missing Photos Already in Catalog

Photos in one of my Collections are shown as Missing, and I can not update them because Lightroom thinks they are Already in Catalog. In fact there are two versions of all these photos in the Catalog grid view: one is shown as Missing and the other is not missing. How can I update the Collection photos without manually recreating the Collection?
In detail: I had some photos in my Lightroom Catalog. I added them to a Lightroom Collection. All was well.
Later, outside of Lightroom, I decided to copy the photos to a new folder on a new hard drive. Then I deleted the original photos and folder.
The LR Catalog now shows two instances of these photos, a good one and a Missing Photo. When I ask to Locate in Finder the good one, LR accurately shows it s location on my hard drive. Both instances of the photos have identical names and thumbnails. The LR Collection shows only one instance of the photos and they all show Missing Photos icons.
When I try to Locate the Missing Photo, I get this message "Already in Catalog. the file "xxx" is associated with another photo in the catalog. Each file can only be associated with one photo." In other words, I am unable to get the LR Collection to recognize the new location of the digital file.
If I delete the photo duplicate with the Missing Photo icon, the photo is removed from my Collection. This is not acceptable for two reasons: I have now 449 "Missing" images in this Collection and I do not want to manually list, delete and then replace each one. I think this is the job of an asset management database like Lightroom, and I depend on it to keep accurate track of everything.
It has been 17 days since I opened a Customer Support case and I have had numerous exchanges with the Adobe reps, including a 1.75 hr. phone conversation, and still no solution. Sometimes there seems to be a language problem but at other times a lack of product knowledge. Is there anyone out there that can help?

Ok, thanks for clarifying.
Lightroom does not create duplicates on its own. They arise usually because the user did something, perhaps accidentally. By any chance, did you ever tell Lightroom to "Synchronize Folders..." ?
Lightroom does not follow or find your photos if you move them outside of Lightroom. My recommendation for newcomers to Lightroom is to always move or rename files and folders from inside of Lightroom.
If I understand your situation properly, I think the solution to your mess is as follows: First ... in Windows or Mac Finder (the only time I ever recommend moving things in WIndows or Mac Finder is to fix or unfix previous moves in Windows or Mac Finder) ... move (cut and paste, not copy and paste) the photos back to where they were. This should connect the copy that is now "bad", and fixing the problem in your collections. Second, in Lightroom, delete the copies on the new hard drive, which should now be disconnected. Now, you should have one copy of everything (including in your collections) that is connected and usable in Lightroom. Finally (optionally), if you want your photos to reside on the new hard drive, then inside Lightroom, move them to the new hard drive.

Already in catalog

Hi. I'm new to lightroom. I'm trying to figure out the meaning of the files that are in the "Already in Catalog" part of the library. Are those the duplicate files or are they the files that were there first? I want to delete the duplicates but I'm not too saavy with this program yet and I would hate to do something I might regret.

>I'm trying to figure out the meaning of the files that are in the "Already in Catalog" part of the library. Are those the duplicate files or are they the files that were there first?
"Already in Catalog" is a collection and shows the files that already exist in catalog. If you try to import photos and they are already in catalog, you will be shown an "Import Results" screen. If you click "Show in Library" on this screen, Lightroom will create/modify the collection "Already in Catalog".
If you wish, you can right-click on any thumbnail in grid view, for this collection and choose "Go to Folder in Library". This will highlight the folder where the photos already exist. You can right-click this highlighted folder and choose "Synchornize Folder..." to update/verify the folder contents in Lightroom.
>I want to delete the duplicates but I'm not too saavy with this program yet and I would hate to do something I might regret.
The "Already in Catalog" is a collection that you can delete once you are happy that the photos do already exist in the catalog. A useful check that you can also do is to look at the count of photos in the "All Photographs" collection and ensure that it matches the total of the counts shown next to folders in the folders panel.

Imported items not in folder Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer; when import error states already in catalog

I have several folders that are in the same folder in Windows. Most folders are visible, but some are not. I attempted moved the folders I could not see in organizer to a folder not in the watch list. Re-booted, and tried to move them back into the watch folder. It started the process of importing into Organizer, but failed and stated already in catalog, the they are not visible. I've uninstalled Photoshop, moved items off the machine, re-installed Photoshop and moved the files back to the watch folder. But still, not all folders will show up. Looked at all settings I could find that could impact. Not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

Adobe workbench errors on checkin: Asset already exists / file already exists

Adobe workbench for Myserver checkin gives errors: "Could not create the asset because the asset already exists" and/or "File already exists in global store with that name". How does one fix this?
This seems to especially happen when I change login to workbench user/configuration/"mode" etc.

If worst comes to worst:
Save relevant directories in completely separate windows backup directory path.
Remove all sub-folders from LC workbench (everything below the /1.0 leaf).
Restore directories from backup path.
This seems to ALWAYS work.

Assets already depreciated

Hi All,
Though the problem has raised out of PS but found this is the appropriate group to raise my question. Actually there were a number of assets which were created last year in 2011 through normal acquisitions. Some of these assets already has depreciated values. Now our client wants to post these assets through settlement of WBS i.e. re route through PS.
What may be the procedure now? I think I may create a new asset for the ones which does not have any depreciation values and assign this to a WBS but what about the ones which already has depreciated values. Can I revert the acquistion? What will be the impact then on accounting of these assets?

Hi,
i have posted a fourm with user534587 adding a parameter to existing report in GL module
does any one please help me in this issue its very urgent my client is asking for this report.
i will be very thankful to you .
Regards,
Azeez.

Apple Script to automatically apply automator folder action workflows

Hello
     I'm trying to get an applescript to automatically apply an automator folder action workflow to a folder..
     Getting applescript to apply a scpt file to a folder as a folder action is straight forward. However, it seems that scpt files are different than automator folder action workflows..
     Normally I would just script the folder action in apple script, but this is for someone that can handle automator, but not apple script coding. This whole scripting is to solve the issue of subdirectories being creating and then files or subfolders being created there after. So we need to try to get automator folder actions to propagate though.. easy enough with applescript..
Any help would be appreciated...

Here is the code that I needed to happen... Maybe I just missed something in automator... but this applescript properly applies itself to subfolders, which then allows me to apply specific scripts based on folder names and locations. Also if the subfolders already exist.. the scirpt also is applied to those.
on adding folder items to this_folder
createlist(this_folder)
end adding folder items to
on createlist(item_list)
          set ActionScript to " REMOVED FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY:ApplyScriptSubfolders.scpt"
          set the the_items to list folder item_list without invisibles
          set item_list to item_list as string
               repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the the_items
                 set the_item to item i of the the_items
                                   set the_item to (item_list & the_item) as alias
                                   set this_info to info for the_item
                                   if folder of this_info is true then
                          tell application "System Events"
                                                                      display dialog "Attching script to " & the_item as text --
                                 attach action to folder (the_item as text) using ActionScript
                                                       end tell
                            my createlist(the_item)
                                   end if
               end repeat
end createlist
I appreciate your help.. if you now know what has to happen and have a shorter way of doing so, please do so..
Thank you again,

Trouble importing files because "files are already in Catalog"

First off, I am using Elements Organizer (v 10). There are certain folders that I can access in the Folders View but they are empty according to Organizer. If I switch to Windows Explorer, these same folders have lots of images in them. When I attempt to "Import to Elements Organizer", I get a message indicating "the files are already in this Catalog".
Any ideas?

When you install Lightroom on a new system, and start it, a default empty catalog is created if you don't point Lightroom to an existing catalog. In your case, you could have either:
1. Copied your catalog over, install Lightroom, then start it by double-clicking on that copied catalog. No empty "default" catalog is created, you've told Lightroom where the catalog is that you want it to use.
2. Or you could start Lightroom, new empty catalog is created, do File>Open Catalog, select the copied catalog, after it opens go to the Preferences menu>General Tab and make sure the copied catalog is selected in the Defaulf Catalog section, then delete that empty default catalog.
Absolutely no need whatsoever to use "Import from another Catalog" in that situation.

I set up Icloud, now when I try to listen to a song on my ipone 5s it asks me if I want to "download over cellular"? and additional fees may apply. I've already bought this music, why would there be any more fees?

I bought my first Iphone - the Iphone S about a month ago. I was able to listen to music no problem. I recently figured out how to get my photos off of my phone and on to my PC, but was prompted to sign up for ICloud to do it. Now when I try to listen to music on my phone, it asks me to download it from Icloud and asks "download over cellular"? "Additional fees may apply when downloading phones over cellular". I've already bought all my music, why would there be more fees and shouldn't ICloud have mentioned this? Seems I need to take a class just to figure all this out.

The clouds you see next to your music on the device and iCloud are two different things. When your music is not on your device it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Not the same thing as iCloud which is used to sync information between devices and house backups of your device contents. So that little cloud you see next to your songs is telling you that the music is not on your device. That's why it is giving you the message - because when you click on it, it is attempting to download it to your device.
What may have happened is when you imported your photos to the PC, you may have sync'd your device via iTunes, and you did not have the Sync Music option checked in your device Profile screen.
Hook up your device to your PC and open iTunes. Make sure the sidebar is showing (Control+S if you cannot see the sidebar with Devices listed), and click on your device to open the Device Profile screens to the right. Click on the Music tab, and make sure that the Sync All Music or Sync Selected Music box is checked. If you have Sync Selected Music checked, then below that, make sure you check all music that you want on your device. Then click on SYNC at the bottom (or APPLY).
Once you have successfully sync'd your music to your device, you will no longer see the cloud next to the songs, and you also will no longer get a message since you will have the songs physically on your device and not in iTunes in the Cloud.
Cheers,
GB

Find previously imported images (Already in Catalog)

Back in LR1 and LR2, when I tried to import images that were already present in the catalog, I had an option to show me / select the already imported images. This is gone in LR4. How can I find in the library the already imported images without fecthing them one by one ?

Thanks john but after trying your suggestion things didn't change (importing an already existing image I get the message "no phots or videos were found to import"). As for my reasons of having such workflow, here is the explanation: I work as fashion photographer and I shoot about 500 pics per session. I use an external software to select the "good enough" images (as its preview is 20 times faster than the ridicously slow LR or other Adobe softwares) and the images selected in a first time can be (almost always are) different from those chose in a second time (as different people are involved in the editing process). @cornelia: images must be good enough to me or to the editor, not to LR, and we might have different opinion and in different moment. At the same time I cannot import 500 images a day in LR.
In any case my main point is that this feature (i.e. the warning that the images were already in the catalog, and where) existed on previous releases of LR and now disappeared, apparently.

How to apply sort on an already dispaled resultset from a procedure

Hi,
I have a data block for which the 'query data source type' is PROCEDURE. When I query the block all the records in the procedure are displayed. Then I query for a specific value for the DATE column (ex: 27/07/2010) and it displays records for only 27/07/2010. Now I want to sort the displayed records.
My columns are DATE, TRANSACTION NUMBER, PROJECT CODE
I have a button each for DATE, TRANSACTION NUMBER, PROJECT CODE to do the sorting. When I click on the PROJECT CODE sort button , the already retireved records for 27/07/2010 must be sorted according to project code.
But this is not happening. The current coding will query the data block for all the records and then apply the sorting for DATE column.
Please advise.

Actually i don't know but what i gave u but i have read that If you attempt setting the where clause in the block it is totally ignored.
i hardly search just found the following...
Subject: How to Filter Rows on Block Based on Stored Procedure in Oracle Forms?
Doc ID: Note:1078147.6 Type: PROBLEM
Last Revision Date: 22-JUN-2004 Status: PUBLISHED
Problem Description:
====================
Whilst in ENTER QUERY mode you would like to specify a search criteria to
restrict the results of your query. The block on which this query resides
is based on a stored procedure.
Problem Explanation:
====================
If you attempt setting the where clause in the block it is totally ignored.
This happens with both the 'Ref Cursor' or 'Table of Records' variable.
Problem References:
===================
[Search Words: filter ]
Solution Summary:
=================
With Forms 5.0 and above, you can use the Tools--> Datablock Wizard menu
in the Object Navigator to enter the datablock wizard in a re-enterant mode.
You can then specify the query criteria there.
Alternatively, you can pass the query criteria from Forms to the stored
procedure as an IN argument. You can then use the parameter with the
select statement (in the procedure you have created using the 'Table of Records
or 'Ref Cursor').
Solution Description:
=====================
If the blocks were created using the Datablock Wizard with the
"stored procedure" radio button, you can always re-enter the datablock wizard
for that block by clicking on the Tools-->Datablock Wizard. If you go to the
Query tab on the bottom of the tab page you will notice that it requests the
name of the parameter. This is where you enter -
   :parameter.<parameter_name>
This method relies on having a parameter in the form that passes the
value, for example p_deptno, into the stored procedure. This is done in order
to get the corresponding records from the emp table for all employees who work
in that deptartment.
Additionally create a PRE-QUERY trigger and assign the value of the deptno you
are passing through this parameter using the following:
   (:parameter.<parameter_name>:= :dept.deptno).
If the blocks were created manually, however, YOU CANNOT use the re-enterant
option to go to the Datablock Wizard. For these type of blocks, use the method
suggested below.
METHOD FOR MANUALLY CREATED BLOCKS:
===================================
Re-enter the Datablock Wizard by using the Tools--> Datablock Wizard menu of the
Object Navigator. You will notice that you will not be able to see any
procedure in the Datablock Wizard in re-enterant mode.
To use this method, you will need to include one more parameter to your query
procedure as an IN parameter. For example, if you are passing deptno as query
criteria, click on the "Query Data Source Arguments" of your block property
sheet and include the following:
    ARGUMENT NAME: set to P_DEPTNO or (any variable name)
    TYPE: set to the appropriate datatype, for example, NUMBER
    TYPENAME: set to dept.deptno%type, for example
    MODE: set to IN
    VALUE: set to :dept.deptno(the :blockname.itemname you are passing
                               as query criteria.).
In the query procedure, include this parameter as an IN argument, and as the
2nd parameter. For example:
    Procedure empquery_refcur(emp_data IN OUT empcur, v_dno IN number) AS ....
Finally, include this paramter in your select statement of either 'Table of
Records' or 'Ref Cursor' as
    select empno, ename
     from emp
      where deptno=nvl(v_dno, deptno);But no chance to Sort it may be from inside the procedure itself.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Abdetu...

Best Practices for Unlinked Assets in Custom Catalogs

Hello,
Is it a best practice to have unlinked categories, products, skus in the product catalog?
How do folks typically deal with assets that are no longer active?
thanks!
J

It is better to have one dummy category to assign all these unlinked assets, and you have to make sure this category should restricted from search engine and it should not display in b2c site. its just a temparay category which will have all the unliked assets under that category.
if you want to show a particular product in b2c site in near future, then you have assign that product to respective category and you can delete that product relationship from this dummy category.

Can't update programs: "Unable to apply updates You are already running Adobe Application Manager. ..." HELP!

So, I try to update Photoshop CC 2014 Camera Raw patch, install Fireworks CS6, and InDesign CC, but get this error on my new MacBook Pro:
The only instance of AAM that is running is the one that opens automatically when I click "Updates" in the PS Help menu. I've also tried it from the AAM widget at the top of my screen.
And before solutions are presented:
I have closed down EVERY instance of AAM first.
I have opened the Activity Monitor to make sure that nothing of Adobe was running in between each update attempt, just to make sure.
I have force quit everything Adobe that was running in between each update attempt, just to make sure.
I have tried it two ways:
Opened Photoshop, Clicked "Updates" in the Help menu, chose the update for "Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5 (CC)", clicked "Update" and still get the error.
I have quit Photoshop, ran Activity Monitor and checked Force Quit...launched the AAM Launcher Utility, See big red button at top that says "1 Update", click button, Click 'Update', put in my password, update still fails with same error.
It's a freaking loop of frustration!!! There is no end. It keeps telling me to close "ALL" instances of AAM, but there's not other way to apply an update for it. I try and just keep getting the same an error! Uggh! Someone please...PLEASE help!

Serious SEO problem--How does one apply SEO description, keywords etc. to catalog and product pages?

I'm working with the BC template TRIBECA. It comes with 2 page templates. I used one of the templates to create the catalog and product pages. Now I'm stuck with a single description tag and keyword tag for SEO purposes. Is there a workaround other than creating multiple template pages, one for each catalog and product page?
UPDATE- I mistakenly mentioned I used template to create product pages. Actually product pages are created with a template but not one you can choose. This mystery template uses 2 h1 tags which is an SEO no,no. How do I remove one of the h1s?

You should be able to ammend that layout by going to your Admin>>Site Manager>>Module Templates>>Online Shop Layouts.
All the necessary files will be there. I suspect it is the Overall Layout and Individual Product - Large you are after...
You can also make use of custom 1,2,3 and 4 tags for extra descriptions etc as BC will automatically render meta tags in the corect spot if they are included in the layout.
...also, note that when creating a catalog, you can add a title and description...
...and you can create custom layout templates too>> refer to this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/using-custom-templates-modules.html
