Ability to search specific metadata (from all metadata)

The ability to search metadata is currently very limited.
I'd like to be able to search a specific metadata/exif field for text. In my case I want to search for any images that don't have copyright metadata but the scenario applies to almost any field.

yes it does

  • Searching specific mails from pst in outlook

    Is there a script to search mails sent or received by specific users from the archive PST, then move those mails to a separate folder according to the user name.
    For instance let say i have 100000 emails and i have 4000 users. I need to separate according to the user name if username is present in From, To, CC or Subject of the mails.

    Hi,
    Generally, If we want to move specific mails(From User1) to a specific folder(User1), we can try the following steps:
    1. Open the Archive pst file in Outlook.
    2. Click the Inbox folder in Archive.
    3. Click View > From. Then all messages in Inbox folder would be viewed by coming from specific users.
    4. Right-click the user name, click Move > Other Folder…
    5. We can click New to create a new folder for these specific messages from the specific user, and move them to this new created folder.
    As for moving messages to 4000 users, maybe we can’t move them manually in Outlook. I don’t know whether we can create a script to achieve it in Outlook or not. I suggest we can ask a question in Script Center for more suggestions:

  • Retrieve / Search specific Node from XML File

    Hello,
    i have a question about reading (searching) XML File within PL SQL:
    There is a XML file with following structure:
    <root>
      <Hnode1 attr1="value1" />
      <Hnode2 attr1="value1" />
         <node1_of_Hnode2 id="10" personname="Steven"/>
         <node2_of_Hnode2 id="20" personname="Christian"/>
         <node3_of_Hnode2 id="30" personname="Arnold"/>
      <Hnode2/>
    <root/>How it is possible to filter a node by one of its attribute value. For example:
    I know the id of a person - lets say id =20. In this case i would like to get the whole node (in this case node2_of_Hnode2) to get the personname => "Christian".
    Just like a SELECT statement (WHERE ID = 20)
    Is there a possibility the get this by one command or should it be looped over all Rows of the Document?. Can you please provide an example for me.
    Thank you in advice!

    Database version is 10.Sorry, that's not a version.
    For example :
    SQL> select * from v$version;
    BANNER
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi
    PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
    CORE     10.2.0.5.0     Production
    TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
    How to use the extraction of values?
    1.Better in Select statement; assigning directli in a variable or using xmlquery function?.PL/SQL or SQL calls to XMLType methods such as extract() or getStringVal() should be equivalent (putting aside the context switch).
    However, none of them is the correct way to retrieve a scalar value from a given node.
    You must use extractValue() function instead (SQL only) for release < 11.2 and XMLCast/XMLQuery starting with 11.2.
    One more Question:
    I have seen a lot of options to handle with XML Files.
    So in my case only querying data in XML Files is relevant.
    I have seen many APIs called XMLDOM, DMBS_XMLDOM, XMLTYPE...
    When to use these APIS. Can you give me some input on that please?That's a broad topic.
    A relevant answer will depend on your requirement.
    - Do you have to process large files, and if so how large?
    - Is performance/memory management a concern for you?
    - Do you want to extract single values, or process the XML content as relational data?
    If you have any specific test case to show us, please post in the {forum:id=34} forum, and make sure you include all the necessary details (see the FAQ).

    Sorry I'm just beginning coding and I'm still a noob. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Ok, so if I'm following this correctly you should be able to just loop through all of the files in that folder whose file name matches the pattern and then read the first 22 lines, recording only the first and the last.
    Exactly how you store the animal data probably depends on how you are going to display it and what else you are going to do with it.  Is there anything other than name and cage number that should be associated with each animal?
    You might want to make a dataset with a datatable to describe the animal, or you might write a class, or you might just use something generic like a Tuple.  Here's a simple class example:
    Public Class Animal
    Public Property Name As String
    Public Property Cage As String
    Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
    Return String.Format("{0} - {1}", Name, Cage)
    End Function
    End Class
    With that you can use a routine like the following to loop through all of the files and read each one:
    Dim animals As New List(Of Animal)
    Dim folderPath As String = "E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\"
    For Each filePath As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "Report Q?.txt")
    Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filePath)
    Dim lineIndex As Integer = 0
    Dim currentAnimal As New Animal
    While Not reader.EndOfStream
    Dim line As String = reader.ReadLine
    If lineIndex = 0 Then
    currentAnimal.Name = line
    ElseIf lineIndex = 22 Then
    currentAnimal.Cage = line
    Exit While
    End If
    lineIndex += 1
    End While
    animals.Add(currentAnimal)
    End Using
    Next
    'do something to display the animals list
    Then you might bind the animals list to a ListBox, or loop through the list and populate a ListView.  If you decided to fill a datatable instead of making Animal instances, then you might bind the resulting table to a DataGridView.
    There are lots of options depending on what you want and what all you need to do.

  • Assign specific metadata for folder structures in the Content Server

    Assign specific metadata for folder structures in the Content Server
    Hi to all,
    I working with Oracle Content Server 10g and Desktop Integration Suite and I will like to know how can I restrict or enable some specific metadatas from the default metadata, for differents content folder. This is different from the function: Information Field Inherit Configuration.
    tnks!

    I am a bit unclear about your question:
    - do you ask about metadata assigned to folders, or
    - do you ask about metadata assigned to items in folders?
    Starting from #2, if you forget about folders, there is standard functionality that you can use to restrict, enable, ... metadata for an item. Read this chapter: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c04_metadata.htm#sthref288 to get full details.
    I am not sure whether you can use anything of this functionality (profiles, option lists, etc.) when you check in a new folder. I doubt it, though. The logic of folders is slightly different - whilst e.g. profiles correspond to "content item", you don't find such a correspondence in folder's hierarchy (why a folder could not contain various content types, for instance?)
    Last question is, from where you want to use this functionality - even for items. In 10g, Desktop Integration Suite's functionality was rather limited (often it was supposed that a user will just 'throw' an item to a folder, and metadata will be inherited from folders). You might have to upgrade your DIS to 11g; it should work even with 10g Content Server, but make sure you verify it before mass upgrade. In 11g, DIS should offer profiles, etc. with full capabilities.

  • Exporting Images With Only Specific Metadata

    How do I export images from Aperture with only specific metadata. Example: I want to export my images with only the copyright IPTC metadata (and maybe the keywords or contact info etc., but I don't want the world to see the EXIF data.
    Aperture manual (page 507 I think) says to do this I need to make a separate version with only the metadata I want to appear. Er right? How does one do that then Apple!? I know how to make another version by the way, but how can I switch off/strip the exif, but keep the IPTC? Surely the monment I tick the include metadata checkbox in the Export panel and hit go this EXIF data will be inserted as it is inherent with the file?
    Can anyone enlighten me please?
    Kevin

    Time to hit the Aperture feedback page. If you include metadata, you include the EXIF data.
    About all you could do is export with no metadata, import the new 'stripped' file and then lift-n-stamp the IPTC data onto it, then export that.

  • Searching file metadata or file properties

    Does Oracle Text index file metadata? For example, when you select File, then Properties in MS Word, you can specify Author, Subject, Manager and other information. This is "metadata" inside the file.
    Since Oracle uses Stellent's InsideOut Content Access technology and www.stellent.com states that it does indeed pull metadata from all supported file types, does Oracle Text take advantage of this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Ahem, well this is interesting.  I haven't found a way to write a custom panel to display the JobName in CS and make it editable - perhaps a limitation to the panel language.<br /><br />One option is to create a template to apply to multiple files - either through the flyout menu in File Info, Replace in the Advanced panel or via the File Browser > Edit > Replace Metadata.<br /><br />Below is a template that I created.  Best way to create your own is to save a template with the JobName property present, then go in an edit the file to remove the other template data and retain the jobName section as I did below.<br /><br />Edit the jobName value between the tags and rename the template - then use the Replace command to apply it to files in CS.<br /><br />Not a pretty work around.  Otherwise I would suggest using another field going forward.<br /><br />Gunar<br /><br /><?xpacket begin='Ôªø' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d'?><x:xmpmeta xmlns:x='adobe:ns:meta/' x:xmptk='XMP toolkit 3.0-29, framework 1.6'><br /><rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#' xmlns:iX='http://ns.adobe.com/iX/1.0/'><br /><br /> <rdf:Description rdf:about=''<br />  xmlns:stJob='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/sType/Job#'<br />  xmlns:xapBJ='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/bj/'><br />  <xapBJ:JobRef><br />   <rdf:Bag><br />    <rdf:li rdf:parseType='Resource'><br />     <stJob:name>new info goes into here</stJob:name><br />    </rdf:li><br />   </rdf:Bag><br />  </xapBJ:JobRef><br /> </rdf:Description><br /><br /></rdf:RDF><br /></x:xmpmeta><br /><?xpacket end='r'?>

  • Way to view camera-specific metadata

    Is there a way to view camera specific metadata? My camera has a variety of fields that include the mode the camera was using when the picture was taken. This is not part of the standard EXIF/IPTC I believe, so bridge doesn't display it. I know it's there because other programs such as OPANDA's IEXIF does display it.
    Thanks!
    Carlos

    Curt and Jim,
    Thanks for your responses.
    I do get all the "standard" fields like exposure settings and focal length. And I know how to set the preferences to display or not display any of the standard fields
    b that Adobe knows about.
    However, there are other fields that my camera uses. For instance, my wife often takes pictures in Canon "vivid" mode. I have used the
    i exiftool
    utility, and I cantell that the metadata actually has an entry called "My Color Mode" that tells me the picture was taken with vivid or normal. Similarly another entry will tell me whether the picture was part of a panoramic (and even whether it was left to right or right to left) or the fact that drive mode was in "single shot"
    In other words, Canon actually puts in there just about every setting the camera has. Not surprising, Adobe doesn't know about all of these settings, and one wouldn't expect it to, given the huge amount of cameras on the market.
    The question was whether there is an extension or some other way to "train" Adobe products to recognize other data that may be in the file. Exiftool is great for checking one or two pictures, but its command line interface doesn't lend itself well to working with the actual picture at the same time.

  • Has anyone else noticed that iBooks search does not find all information that should be located for a specific search criteria?

    I am converting a novel to ePub format.  I am currently in the process of adding "end notes" to the book.  Each will have a flag embedded at the proper spot in the various chapters that is coded as "[See End Note xx]" where xx is a one or two digit number.  Each of the flags has those words surrounded by the HTML that links the flag to the proper end note at the back of the book.
    To verify that I have indeed inserted correctly each end note, I copy the book's epub file from my desktop PC to the iPad.  I then do a search in iBooks to locate each occurance of "[See End Note" or just "End Note".  I should see each of these flags listed.  Last night it would list all of them except "[See End Note 28]"!   If I did a search for "28", it would appear.
    I then copied just the flag itself ("[See End Note 28]") without the associated linkage HTML to the back of the document, and placed the copy just in front of the paragraph that contains it. Neither of the two flags were found.
    I then duplicated just the flags for end notes 27 and 29 which the search function had located.  I placed the copies surrounding the copied flag for 29.  The result was as follows in the text of the book:
    [See End Note 27]
    [See End Note 28]
    [See End Note 29]
    Although 27 and 29 were still being shown in their normal places, none of the above three inserted (test) flags was displayed by the search!
    It seemed that the iBooks search goes through part of the book, but cannot take the whole book in one piece.  It then continues, but leaves a gap that is not scanned per the search criteria.  To test that theory, I removed the entire text of several chapters that did not contain any end notes.  I then loaded this modified copy of the book into the iPad.  When I ran a search using "End Note", all of the flags (including the special test flags) were displayed.  The list included the "missing" "[See End Note 28]" that cannot be found if the all of the chapters have their text!
    I shall be calling Apple in a few minutes to again attempt to get the apparent "bug" (aka design or coding flaw) removed such that it does not
    impact the ability of the iPad to be a useful tool.

    Not all movie studio signed up to the agreement with Apple to allow redownloading of movies, only those that did will have their movies available in the purchased section of iTunes.

  • Threading- Can I call methods from specific threads or from all in a group?

    I've just recently started working with threads. I've done a lot of searching and reading but I haven't seen the specific questions I'm wondering answered. Of course, it's about communication.
    The amount of newly created threads that will exist is indefinite. Sometimes I'll have one, sometimes ten. So I'll just call them t1 - t9. When I create them, I add them to a ThreadGroup - tg.
    This project contains 2 class files, Main and ThreadClass. I'll post all of the code so you can see what I'm doing.
    public class Main {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
                ThreadGroup tg = new ThreadGroup("tg1");
                Thread t = new Thread(tg, new ThreadClass("t" + i));
                t.start();
    public class ThreadClass extends Thread {
        public ThreadClass(String name) {
            super(name);
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("New Thread - " + getName());
            while (true) {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(100);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
        public void printText() {
            System.out.println("Printing text from " + getName());
    }So whenever a new thread is created, it prints "New Thread - [ThreadNameHere]". But I also have printText() in ThreadClass that has not been used yet and that is what I really want to accomplish. Is there a way to call printText() by the thread group (tg1 in this case) so it is executed across all threads that belong to the group? Is there a way to call printText() in a specific thread from my Main class, such as "t3"?
    Thank you for your help!
    Edited by: sdouble on Sep 9, 2008 10:10 AM - Fixed a typo

    Yes, usually you want to implement Runnable, not extend Thread. You're not adding new functionality to Threads or making some kind of more-specific version of them.
    You can get each thread in your ThreadGroup back out into an array by using one of the varients of Enumerate, but nothing stops you from just putting your objects (that implement Runnable) into an ArrayList or any collection of your own that you want to as you make them, and then later iterating over it and calling the method that you want.
    Something like this...
    public class MyThread implements Runnable {
       public void run() { ... }
       public void printStuff() { ... }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       MyThread a = new MyThread();
       MyThread b = new MyThread();
       ArrayList threadList = new ArrayList();
       threadList.add(a);
       threadList.add(b);
       for(MyThread thread : threadLIst) {
          thread.printStuff();
    }

  • Photoshop 10 Save As removes Camera Specific Metadata

    I have Photoshop 10.0 (Windows XP) and use it to edit my photos from my new Nikon D300 camera. I create and maintain my images in JPG format as a preference and have no plans of saving in RAW. My D300 includes 40 to 50 camera info/metadata elements including the camera and lens settings at the time the photo is taken. When I do a simple "Save As" in Photoshop 10 to a new JPG file (whether image adjustments are done to the source image or not), the new JPG file is stripped of about half or more of the original camera-specific metadata elements. Is there a Photoshop setting or Nikon/Photoshop plug-in that will force the software to preserve/retain the original metadata? (The Capture NX2 solution is not an option as the one key feature I use is Auto Levels - The Auto Levels feature in Capture NX2 washes out my photos to an undesireable state). Therefore, I need to continue using Adobe for the benefit of their better Auto Levels feature and I also use their automation heavily as I process 100's of photos at a time. The only drawback of Adobe right now is they discard most of the camera specific shooting data at the time of save. RAW is not an option as the file sizes are too large for my storage, sharing and usage needs.

    You may need to define custom XMP data fields for the extra data, which is done in the XMP control panel in Bridge. Photoshop should respect these fields and retain matching info by transfering it to XMP. Possibly someone has done this already and may provide a template somewhere for download. If that does not work, then I would guess waiting for CS4, due to be released officially on September 23, or using Lightroom 2 wil lbe your only option.

  • Is there a way to export metadata specific metadata

    Regardless of the metadata view I choose, Aperture exports only 21 columns of metadata, and not in the order that they appear in Ap. Actually it exports metadata that don't even appear in the view I'm using.
    Is there a way export metadata specific metadata, so it can be used in Numbers, or Excel?

    Do you have any suggestions for how to pass distribute .mov files with my contact info and description info?
    Just two ideas:
    if you like commandline tools, you could try "exiftool" to write "Artist", "copyright", and "user comment" to your movies. Download from here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/  The documentation says, that MOV files are supported; I did not try it with MOV, however.
    Or use the "spotlight comment field (see above). But that would only be visible on a mac.
    To write to the Spotlight Comment field open "Get Info" for the exported movie.
    Can other programs like Bridge or lightroom read that metadata?
    Sorry, I don't know since I do not work with those programs.
