How to access the "Genre", "Artist", and "Album" Panel via COM/script

I thought I posted this a couple of days ago, but checking on "My Posts", it appears I didn't. Oooops
I'm using the COM interface, which is also same as the scripting one.
I'm trying to discover what elements in the iTunes main window have been selected, and thus "highlighted".
The main window appears, to the interface, to be the "BrowserWindow", not to be confused with the View -> Show Browser window. Within this main window, I can identify which Playlist is currently selected, and/or which individual tracks are selected.
But, what I'm trying to do, is also identify if any elements in the View -> Show Browser window are also selected. "Genre", "Artist", and "Album".
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how do I achieve it.
Cheers,
Eddie

In case you don't get any replies here, Eddie (your post might get buried under queries about iTunes 7.7), it might also be worth checking in at Teridon's google discussions. Robert's post here has a link through to those:

(Robert is the person I think of immediately in the context of scripting issues.)

  • How to activate the song, artist and album windows so you can type in those entries

    how do you activate the windows for song, artist, album in iTunes library? I used to put the cursor over the category, double click on it, then type in the song name, artist name, album, genre etc., but that technique doesn't seem to work now.

  • How to access the visibility of layer comps in indesign through scripting? [JS][CS5.5]

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to scripting in adobe, but I thought this should be a simple one (think again...):
    I wanted to go over an array of all the psd-images in a selection or on a page in indesign, and then try to set their layer comp to a specific one (like "Diffuse".
    In photoshop I could make an action that would do this for me, but it seems that there are no easy ways in Indesign to do this.
    There also seems no way to change the layer comp or layer visibility for multiple selection...
    If anyone knows if it is possible at this moment to use layer comps in scripting (and how) or some kind of action for Indesign, I'll try to tackle the rest of the problem myself (and be forever grateful).
    If it isn't possible, I how it will be in CS6.
    Thanks to anyone interested,
    Mattaias
    ps: currently trying to solve this in JavaScript for CS5.5.

    Thanks for the information so far, but I've been looking at the links you added and haven't found anything about the scripting of layer comps...
    Here is the adjusted sample of your code:
    function Main() {
        var mySelection = app.selection;
        for(var n=0;n<mySelection.length;n++){
            if(mySelection[n].graphics.length === 1 && mySelection[n].graphics[0].imageTypeName === "Photoshop"){
                //Do your stuff on the selected frame or on the individual placed PSD file:
                // Adjusted Sample code:
                mySelection[n].images[0].graphicLayerOptions.graphicLayers.itemByName("Heat").currentVisib ility = true;
                alert(mySelection[n].images[0].graphicLayerOptions.graphicLayers.itemByName("Heat").curre ntVisibility);
    but what I actually need is more like
    mySelection[n].images[0].graphicLayerOptions.graphicLayerComps.itemByName("Heat").currentVisibility = true;
    It seems a bit strange (or I am looking on the wrong places) but there is no way to access layer comps in Indesign.
    Do I have to change the file in PhotoShop and save to get the result I need? Looks a bit strange that there isn't a more logical way then...
    The reason I want to script this, is because when there are 100 PSD's on one page and they should al get the same Layer Comp... you have to do this manually for every image.
    I like to use this feature to build texture-atlasses and have a dynamic result, but at this moment it would take at least 10 seconds for every picture... for 3 pages, and that for 7 files (and even more in the future).
    If anybody has ever scripted something with LayerComps, please let me know. (and something like recording Actions in photoshop is equally usefull)
    Otherwise I guess the Adobe programmers just didn't want to share this feature yet in CS5.5.

  • How to Read the "text file and csv file" through powershell Scripts

    Hi All
    i need to add a multiple users in a particular Group through powershell Script how to read the text and CSV files in powershell
    am completly new to Powershell scripts any one pls respond ASAP.with step by step process pls
    Regards:
    Rajeshreddy.k

    Hi Rajeshreddy.k,
    To add multiple users to one group, I wouldn't use a .csv file since the only value you need from a list is the users to be added.
    To start create a list of users that should be added to the group, import this list in a variable called $users, the group distinguishedName in a variable called $Group and simply call the ActiveDirectory cmdlet Add-GroupMember.
    $Users = Get-Content -Path 'C:\ListOfUsernames.txt'
    $Group = 'CN=MyGroup,OU=MyOrg,DC=domain,DC=lcl'
    Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group -Members $Users

  • ITunes 12 sorting artists and albums wrong/out of order

    Hi,
    So I'm using iTunes 12, though this problem occurred with 11 too...
    As you can see in the image, I'm using Mac DeMarco as an example, it happens with selected other artists too. I have two albums of his, yet they don't appear together and there are multiple instances of the artist. Even the albums don't appear together. Both of them have the same "Artist" and "Album Artist" information.
    Here you can see one instance:
    Here's the second instance. Note, the artist appears amongst the "D" artists, after Deftones for some reason, instead of "M" with the other album:
    What is going on? Please help.

    Enable the Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist columns, chances are that the fields have been set inconsistently.

  • How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?

    How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?
    That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
    I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
    Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder  that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
    Thank you.

    Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
    you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library.  As Terence Devlin said:
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What you should set up:
    Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
    Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
    Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
    Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.
    Regards

  • How to get back artist and album name

    I have bought or imported all of my music through itunes. However, when I updated to itunes 10, most of my artist and album information was lost.

  • I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

    I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

    I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    Hi there
    I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these.  Instead it just took me to the
    adobe page with nowhere visible to update.  I then  sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
    functionality  It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe. 
    I have since remedied the problem as  my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that.  I do feel that this is a bit
    of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
    Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.

    You don't have to use the same ID for iCloud as you do for purchasing.  You can just set up iCloud using your other ID. 
    If your have already have another account, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted, set up your new account with the other ID, turn on your iCloud data syncing and when prompted, choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

    Then you write a wrapper in JNI to call your C/C++ code.
