Adding EXTRA metadata into description field Pshop Bridge

Hi
I have got lots of pictures in photoshop which are all captioned neatly.
However one of the agencies I supply to, requires me to add my credit details into the description field after the description.
Is there anyway I can do this as a batch.
Many thanks

Not as far as I know, you can only select the files with the same description, then point the mouse at the place in the description field to add the details (which off course you can copy paste) but when there are different descriptions choosing the description fields and add the copyright details this will replace the existing info.
You could try the scripting forum for this:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.3bba983b
and for the future: create a template with al the details (including the copyright info in description field) and use this while importing the files using photodownloader.

Copy keywords into description-field

Hello,
I have to work on many pictures so i don't want to do every step for every picture. I have no experience with scription so i ask you.
I'm searching for a script (or somthing else) that copies the keywords of one file into the description-field of the same file automaticly.

Adding the G/L description field in the report FAGLL03

Dear all
I would like to add the G/L description field in the report FAGLL03. Can you tell me how this can be done.
Many thanks
PG

Hi Peter,
You can do the changes as per Moeze suggestion.
What we have did is that we have writeen a exit in substitution rule for the offsetting G/L code (assumptioning that you want the description for offsetting g/l code).
We have added the offsetting g/l code in special feild and accordingly the system displays the corresponding description of the offsetting g/l code.
Try it,it will work.
If not do revert for the needful.

Extract image metadata into form fields

hi gurus
i have an image that contains important metadata,
i need this metadata to be used in forms 6i or to be directly inserted into a database table so i can use them in a report.
i dont have any tools other that plsql - forms&reports 6i
please help urgent

If you have some java experience, you can likely use javax.imageio.metadata. To use within Forms simply import your resulting class file using the Forms Java Importer. The only problem I see is that you mentioned the use of the long since desupported Forms 6i, which was based on JDK 1.2/1.3. This means that you would need to compile your java using a 1.3.1 comiler. You may be able to use 1.4, but I doubt it. Also, I don't know if the imageio package was available in 1.3.
Here are some references which may help. Also try Google ;)

Adding XMP metadata into new illustrator document

var app:Application = Illustrator.app;
var doc:Document = app.activeDocument;
var xmpString:String = doc.XMPString;
var xmpMeta : XMPMeta = new XMPMeta(xmpString);
var myNamespace : Namespace = new Namespace("test", "http://test.thisiscool");
xmpMeta.myNamespace::stringName = "supercool";
var tmp : String = xmpMeta.serialize();
doc.XMPString = tmp;
If I execute the above code block I end up with the following metadata inside the document:
<rdf:Description rdf:about=""
            xmlns:ns1="http://test.thisiscool">
         <ns1:stringName>supercool</ns1:stringName>
      </rdf:Description>
Why is the prefix defaulted to ns1 when I specified that it should be "test"?
The documentation says you can register your own custom prefixes. But it doesn't say weather it's possible to do that programatically. Is it? If not, how is it done?:
Prefixes are not stored in the data model, but only in namespace URIs. The parser collects the namespace prefixes, to be used when the same XMPMeta object is serialized after modification. For the Adobe standard namespaces, defined in the XMP Specification: Part 2, Standard Schemas, the default namespaces are stored in a global namespace registry of the library. You can also register custom prefixes for your own namespaces; if the serializer does not find a registered prefix for a certain namespace, it generates prefixes of the form "ns1", "ns2" and so on.

The CS SDK forum is actually probably more correct, but this is probably an Illustrator scripting question.
You might be able to add the namespace using the XMP Namespace Designer, but I'm not sure...

IPTC field codes -- Bridge IPTC Core metadata

Is there a reference somewhere as to which IPTC codes match up with the IPTC Core fields in Bridge metadata?
A list of the codes is here, so you know what I'm talking about. For example, the Description field in Bridge metadata corresponds to the Caption / #120 code in this list:
http://www.fotoware.com/binaries/fsp50/userguide/28.htm
I'm using a plug-in that writes image info from a database into the corresponding file's IPTC fields based on the IPTC code, but the names of the fields on the list of codes don't match up with what they're called in Bridge, so it's taking a lot of trial and error to figure out where things go.

Never mind, found one. It doesn't mention Bridge specifically, but it has Photoshop and Lightroom (along with several other image-browsing apps) and both seem similar to Bridge:

Cannot remove description field after adding to the Custom List

Hello,
Applies To: SharePoint 2013
Problem: We created a Custom List and added a Description column from "Add from existing site columns" link. Now we need to remove it and it seems to have been sealed. We are not able to delete it.
There is no remove/delete link/button when we click on the field. Moreover in the Content Type it only shows Required, Optional, Hidden.
Requirement: Need to remove this field from the Custom List. Incidentally we added two of the description fields. We need to remove both of them without deleting the list itself.
Thank you and
Regards

Hi Tanzim,
Try the following code. I tested it and it should work for you.
Add-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
$web = Get-SPWeb "Web URL"
$list = $web.Lists["List Name"]
$field = $list.Fields["Description"]
$field.AllowDeletion = $true
$field.Sealed = $false
$field.Delete()
$list.Update()

Strange formatting and symbols appearing in podcast description fields

Hey guys!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. I'm having problems with the text formatting in the podcast description sections. For some reason strange characters are added in the podcast description fields that aren't there when I initially enter them in. Examples "nbsp;" "mdash", "ersquo;s". I feel like its related to the font or when I use punctuation. Can anybody here point me to the solution?
Check out what I mean here. This happens in both the main description and in the individual show descriptions:
http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=327062493a8Aw
Thank you in advance guys! Really appreciate it
Fei-Fei

These are incomplete html codes for characters - you've left off the ampersand which must begin them.
is a non-breaking space
’ is the apostrophe or quote - '
&emdash; is a wide dash.
Firstly: you cannot use these named codes in XML, you have to use the numerical equivalents. If you are handwriting the code you can use ' for the apostrophe. But in general you should avoid using any of these codes: the iTunes Store usually does not render them but displays them. You should stick to plain text and paragraph returns. You've used a straightforward apostrophe elsewhere - 'She's been pIcked up by al the major labels' - and that's worked; so use that instead of the quote, use a straight dash - instead of the emdash, and replace the non-breaking space with an ordinary one.

Import Bridge CS4 metadata into LR3?

Is it possible to import metadata into LR3 that I've created in Bridge CS4?
Another thread here said it's possible, but there was no explanation on how to proceed.

Yes it is possible.
The "metadata shuttle" between Bridge and Lr is the XMP-file.
( As an aside: Strictly speaking LR writes metadata to xmp-file (side-car file) only in the case of Raw images, whereas in the case of JPGs, TIFFs, PSDs the metadata is written into the header of the file. I suspect that this is the same in Bridge. But in >Catalog Settings >Metadata tab the term "XMP" is used indiscriminately.)
To import the metadata that was created in Bridge in Lr, do a <Read metadata from file> via >Metadata >Read Metadata from file (in the Library Module), or >Photo >Read metadata from file (in the Develop Module).
Please be aware that by < read metadata from file> the complete set of metadata will be imported, including any develop steps you might have done in Bridge, and this will overwrite all metadata already done in Lr (including develop edits which are also metadata). I believe this will even be so in case you have done no develop steps in Bridge, i.e. any develop steps done in Lr will be overwritten with "0". <Read metadata from file> cannot be undone, and there will be a warning to that effect. A selective reading of metadata (for instance keywords only) is not possible.
So you have to import the metadata from Bridge as a first step right after importing the photo in Lr, and before you do anything in Lr.
The "metadata shuttle" works also from Lr to Bridge if you <Write metadata to file>.
Color labels will be imported correctly only if the textual descriptions for the individual labels are identical in Bridge and in Lr.

Additional information is being added to the description field in iPhoto

Hi all
I have an Events file in iPhoto for Aircraft I have taken photographs of.   They are stored in 'registration order - ( eg. A-ABCD - Z-EFGH, etc.)    To each photograph I have added a description in the 'description field ' which includes make, model, construction number, owner and where seen including flight information.    When I had about 200 photographs I noted information from one photograph had been added to many of the others.    In due course I deleted the additional information, leaving just the information I originally entered.   Now I have over 900 photographs and this problem has arisen again.   On many of the photographs information added to a particular aircraft has been added to many of the others - added not over written.   In some instances information from two aircraft has been added.
Obviously I can go through each photograph and delete the additional information but this will take time.   Can anyone offer advice as to why this is happening and how can I ensure it does not repeat again.   I have many more photographs to add to the Aircraft folder but I am reluctant to do so until I can prevent recurrence.
TIA
Regards
Bill

I would try rebuild iPhoto.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Workflow Action: Trouble adding a new line in "Description" field.

Hi folks. I'm really having a difficult time with this one and it seems so simple...
I am struggling with how to get a field update action to enter a line break in a note field. I've tried "\n", "\n\r", "chr(13)", "chr(10)", "<br>" and so on.... it just puts the text of what I use into the Description.
Here's the simplified workflow action...
[<NextStep>] + "\ \n" + PRE('<Description>')
What it's supposed to do.. is every time someone updates the field [<NextStep>], I want to replace the contents of the description field with the new value for nextstep (plus a new line) and then followed by everything that was in the description field previously. This way I have a running log in the description field.
Idealy it should put:
Today() + ": " + [<NextStep>] + <line break> + PRE('<Description>')
but when I add the Today() it ignores everything that follows. I'm not as worried about that as I am about the inablity to put in the line beak. Please help!!!
Thanks!
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:13 AM because the forum interpreted the "\\n"
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:15 AM (I put a space between the two back slashes so that the forum doesn't interpret it as a new line)

I had used the "\\n" in my expressions to add a new line in the Description field. Only issue is also add a \ to the end of line but that was acceptable in my case. We are on OOD R16.

Export Bridge Assets including metadata into searchable web gallery

Hi,
We have several thousand images that we have tagged with metadata in Adobe Bridge. We want to be able to export these images and their associated metadata into a searchable web gallery so that customers can search keywords or at the very least pick attributes in order to narrow down the image selection process.
What software has the ability to do this?
Thank you!
-Mike

Apologies.. my advice may have been wrong.. it is a while since I figured it out.. trying to remember what it was I did..you do have to shorten that file name.. but it may not be the caption you need to change. I suspect I may have selected all the images.. then gone to meta data batch change and done something under the custom button which then applied to all images.
In my case I needed to get the web address for the gallery created from:
http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Smartbins™%20Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20and%20Cigarett e%20Bin%20Image%20Gallery/
down to:
http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20Cigarette%20Bin/
I did manage it but can't quite remember how I did it.
I will keep playing and when I figure out what I did that worked will post again.
The web gallery name you choose affects how Google sees the site as when you publish the web gallery - the web gallery name can pop up in Google
It's quite difficult to figure out exactly what to do. If anyone else knows a definitive answer please advise!

Adding metadate in the field

hi
we are just now recieving our FCSVr and i would love to be able to add metadata in the field with the videographers on their laptops any ideas on workflow??? will "check in" be the way to bring this info back into the entire a facility?? also, what besides FCP are people using to make.movs from the .m2t

Unless you have your FCSvr on your extranet, you'll need to script this somehow. You could write a webpage that subsequently writes an XML file, and then set up a response from FCSvr to read in that XML file. Or you can set up an email account that people email information to, and is parsed by a script and then writes out the XML file. Or, if they are sending in quicktime files, they can add annotations to the quicktime files. Setup a metadata map in FCSvr so that the annotations map to your custom metadata field.
Check out this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502389&tstart=15
As for the m2t from MOV, maybe something like Visual Hub? Does FCSvr not transcode the files?

Form Validation using Javascript error when adding extra fields

Hi,

My problem is that they are not showing via the behaviours/validation box and I can't figure out how to sort it! They are contained within the form element.
