Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
Thanks

In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTVIEW - how to check´out files to a SAP directory

Hello,
I have an issue with understanding and providing the FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTVIEW to check out files from KPRO to a SAP directory.
I use CV120_KPRO_CHECKOUT to checkout files to local PC and this runs fine, but not for checking out files to SAP directories. So I found the API.... FM.
But I am confused about the data required to run the FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTVIEW . I tried several times but it does not work either for check out to clnt nor to SAP server.
Parameters for DOKAR, DOKNR, DOKVR and DOKTL are clear to me. PF-CONTENT_PROVIDE is CLNT for PC check out and SRV for Server checkout. But what about the rest?
I am not sure how to provide the tables and the fields PF_FTP_DEST / PF_HTTP_DEST / PF_HOSTNAME and the PS_API_CONTROL.
Can anybody help me with the required import data.
Best regards
Dirk

Select Checked Out Files Within Folder

So if I right-click on a folder and choose Select->Checked
Out Files it looks on the whole site for files that are checked
out. The same is true if I have it look for files modified in the
last x days. Is it possible to select only the files checked out
from a particular folder?
My site is quite large and I often work on a folder at a
time. Other editors may be changing other files, so I don't want to
check in the whole folder in case I haven't downloaded their
edits.

I am having the same trouble with DW CS3. Any ideas?

How to handle check-out files of users that are no longer with the company?

We have cases that files were checked out and modified, but the engineers left before they check-in the files. What's the right way to handle such cases? Does the project admin have right to check-in for the engineers? How can we make another person to
check the files in?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your post.
Do you want check-in that files within the changes which that left engineer created to TFS Server? If yes, you need logon that engineer’s client using his account, then get modified files on this client and perform check-in.
If you don’t need that changes which modified by that left engineer, just the check-out files on this client caused other users cannot work on that files, you can ask the team project admin user to perform
tf undo command on that files to resolve this checked-out issue.
For example, the files be checked-out under workspace1, so execute this command “tf undo $/xx/xx(file path)
/collection:collectionURL /workspace:workspace1 /recursive” to undo it

Question about deletion of checked out file using CMIS connector

When testing file deletion with Adobe Drive connected to an implementation of CMIS server, I ran into some mildly unexpected behavior for when the file is checked out.
I successfully checked out a file through Adobe Drive then deleted the file. Our server has a constraint that checked out files are protected against deletions, renaming, and moves. So, I was expecting the operation to fail. Instead, the result was that the file had its check out canceled.
In the AtomPub binding, a cancel check out is specified by deleting the pwc version of the the checked out file. So, this behavior did not strike me as too far off my expectations and I confirmed that the objectid in the deletion request sent by Adobe Drive was the id for pwc version of the file.
Is this behavior intentional? Or is this an artifact of the way Adobe Drive caches the objectid of files? Check out requests do return an objectid and that objectid is that of the new pwc version of the file. So, the later behavior would not surprise me.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, this behavior is intentional.
To bypass the possible constraint during deleting a checked-out file, Adobe Drive intentionally try to cancel check out this file by deleting the pwc version of the checked-out file.

Gang

User has deleted checked out files

A user has deleted the local roboholp project folder with checked out files. (Robohelp HTML Version 9.0)
The files are published as a webpage so the content is in HTML files - is there a way to get the content back in Robohelp?
And how can I check-in her files (there is not option in Source Control (Version 3.1.), although I have administrative rights)
Thanks for any help.

Hi there
Not sure about RoboSource Control, but typically a source control application allows one to "Get latest version". The files should still be in the source control database, albeit with a status of "checked out". So you should be able to recover the project by simply getting the latest version. Not sure about how to go about forcing a check in from the user account that is no longer there.
Cheers... Rick

Temporary checked out Files on Server TempFolder (Howto?)

Hi Experts,
Can Someone help me with customizing the Data Carrier Type for Checked out Dokuments in DMS? Temporary Documents should not be stored on Front End Client, but in a Folder on the Server. What can i do for reaching that?

Select Checked Out Files

In the Files panel, if I use the option "Select Checked Out
Files", Dreamweaver will always crash (I just tried out and am
waiting for DW to fall apart).
Does anyone know how to overcome this (yes, without ditching
DW)?

I am having the same trouble with DW CS3. Any ideas?

Periodic Message: You have some checked-out files in the working directory

Hi,
we are recieving a periodic message (appearing every 5 minutes) saying:
"You have some checked-out files in the working directory. We recommend that you check in the files after editing. Click here to checkin the files.
After clicking on the message easyDMS is opened and Private- & Public-Folder are shown.
There are no checked out files on the client.
What happened?
Thanks a lot!
Edited by: B Lobascio on Feb 8, 2011 5:13 PM

After changing the Working directory in easyDMS preferences the message did not apear anymore.
That means that there have been some some damaged documents in origin working directory.

Out of memory errors when reporting on checked out files

My Dreamweaver CC version is up to date. I haven't been able to complete a report to find checked out files. I can see it running at a speed of about 2 files per second. We have a few thousand files on the web server, but I didn't have a problem with CS5.5. I can't understand why it takes so long to simply search for .LCK files. I can search for them using Agent Ransack in a matter of seconds. I've seen some other out of memory issues posted here too, so hopefully Adobe can get this fixed and release the next update soon.
(I haven't seen any improvement in performance with the 64-bit re-engineering.)

Hi AdobeJobie,
We would like to investigate your case. If you have a purchased version of DW, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details (email, phone number) over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

Cannot Check Out files in DreamWeaver 5.5

I have several websites hosted by the same company. Now when I use DreamWeaver 5.5 to visit these sites, I can see the files on the server and I can see my local files. But when viewing local files, I need to be able to Check Out files, edit them, save them and then check them back in so they get uploaded to the server.
In my current state, the Check Out File(s) icon is grayed out.
Thanks!

Go to Site > Manage Sites and choose the one you want to add Check In/Out to.
Go under the Basic tab and hit Next until you get to "Do you want to enable checking in and checking out..." switch the radio button to Yes.
Note: this is how you would turn it on in DWCS4, I'm assuming 5 isn't much different.

What's the function of "Manage checked out files" in library settings?

hi there,
can anyone tell the function of "Manage checked out files " in library settings? it seems the place to manage all the checked out files in that library. but i can't see any one there. thanks in advance.
allan

Hi,
The checked out files page will only show files which have no checked in version. It is a way for a library administrator to clean up a document library. Imagine you created a new document that was only checked out to you and had no checked in version. It wouldn't show up in list views for anyone else. You have to go to that page to delete this document.
If you want to see all the checked out files in your library, you can create a new view and filter the view by “check out to” column (“check out to” column “is greater than or equal to” give a value like character A)
Hope it can help you.
