Adding non-Adobe file formats metadata

I'm guessing this might be tough, if not impossible. While it's great to be able to add labels to formats which are critical to my workflow, such as .max, file sequences (.tif, .tga, .png, .rpf, .rla), and others, the ability to really track projects lies in the Metadata. Could some sort of wrapper be placed on a file when it appears in Bridge which would allow this? By the way - Bridge CS4, Vista Business 64 bit.

Dear Jowry,
I'm still not very clear about your request.
Bridge can add labels and ratings to any file formats (include folders and XMP-unsupported files). The labels and ratings value will be recorded into a hidden file (named .BridgeLablesAndRatings) that in the same location of the folders and XMP-unsupported files. The file is also hidden in Windows or Mac OS. If you try to move/copy the labeled/rated folders or XMP-unsupported files in Bridge, the labels and ratings will be moved/copied to the corresponding hidden file in the new location automatically. While if you try to move/copy the folders or XMP-unsupported files in Explorer of Finder, the labels or ratings will lost.
Do you think the exist label feature in Bridge can solve your problem? Or I misunderstood your meaning?
Sincerely,
Melissa

Need instructions for downloading a CD in non-compressed file format

Friends, I have purchased some woo-woo brain wave meditation CD that requires it be downloaded to my ipod in a non-compressed file format -- either .wav or aiff. I have absolutely no idea what that means or how to do it. HELP!!

Change your import settings to AIFF or WAV and import the CD. Go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Importing and from the "import using" menu choose AIFF encoder or WAV encoder: How To Choose Import Settings

Suddenly non supported file format

My HDD where the project files reside crashed and after a few day's work I manage to get everything back.
Premiere Pro CS6 Crash. First "this project contained a sequence that could not be opened" And now "The file has an unsupported compression type". First issue solved but not the file system one. This is on a project I've been working on for a few months. Other software like VLC can use the files so the files seems to be ok. The problem file format is m2ts untouched from cam. And it have been working for a long time before this crash. Dedicated this weekend for the final editing of this project and now.... Sitting here with a beer and cant do nothing.....
Anyone having a few good cards up their sleeves?

First. It is not the lack of payment issue I complain about. It is the fact that when payment is not made I get "punished" by having to reinstall the whole cloud. Why isnt the restrictions alone enough? Since it goes back to trail why isnt that enough? If I cant have money on my card when it's time for the monthly payment, I should face limitations for that. That I do. But lets put this in a example. I'm away on a film job out in the field. It gets extended by a week and when I get back home the schedule for editing is down a week due to the extra filming. And since it was hectic out in the field I forgot/no time to make sure there was enough with money on the card for the subscribtion. So when I get home and have set aside time for editing around the clock I have to start with the payment issue. That is taken care of in a few seconds. But then the annoying part is starting. Uninstalling everything, downloading, installing, updating, installing plugins, updating. 100 reboots.... That is extremely annoying. A lot of inspiration for the editing project and a lot of time is lost. And for what reason?
Second. Who is going to pay the extra credit card I have to have if following your suggestion? Adobe? Probably not. You? Probably not. Meaning that the fee for the cloud went up a little for me. I understand the benefits for that function but in my case it would only be good for the cloud subscription. And that alone is not a good solution for this issue.
Third. Well I still think this is a bug, unless Adobe have this function implemented to punish people who doesnt pay on time. Then naturally it is not a bug. Maybe Adobe can answer if this is a function that they like or if this is a bug?
Fourth. If I should get punished why not having a re activation fee instead? I would gladly pay a few bucks to get the software funcioning directly after I pay my subscribtion. That would benefit both me and Adobe. Why sabotage my work? Who is gaining from that?
Fifth. I have no proof for this. But I also do not want to try it again next month. The time to un-install and re-install is to expencive right now. If I'm wrong I will crawl to the altar and say I'm sorry. But It would also be nice if Adobe did the same if they are wrong.

LabVIEW 2015 - Fast File Format and PlugIn Architecture

In LabVIEW 2015 the new "fast file format" was introduced:
"Improving Load Time for LabVIEW-Built Applications and Shared Libraries.
You can build stand-alone applications (EXE) and DLLs that load faster by using the fast file format in LabVIEW. <...> When you enable the fast file format, LabVIEW does not use the Application Builder object cache"
The question about PlugIn architecture, when lot of SubVIs called dynamically (for example, from external LLBs) from relative small core application. What I observed is - the size of the executable with this option was significantly reduced (roughly twice) and the core application itself starts faster, but PlugIns load time is the same regardless from this option (I understand why - when application fully loaded then Dynamic calls just "normal" LabVIEW code and therefore this option takes no effect). Unfortunately in code distribution build spec (as well as in packed libraries) this option is not available.
Is it possible to get "fast" application also for PlugIn-based architecture and get LLBs or packed libraries in "fast file format"? Can someone explain, what means "LabVIEW does not use the Application Builder object cache" and how this "fast load" mechanism technically working?
Thank you in advance,
Andrey.

Hey Andrey! It's good to see that you guys have been getting some good mileage out of this project. I'll go through your questions in order ...
1) These optimization are actually always enabled by default for packed project libraries. In fact, the load time benefits for packed libraries should generally be better than what you observe for .EXEs and .DLLs!
2) The app builder cache is something that is enabled for EXEs and DLLs that works to cache the results of previous compiles when the source has not been updated. It is somewhat analogous to the .obj object files generated by a C++ compiler.
3) I won't get into too many nitty gritty details but the gist of it is... LabVIEWs various non optimized file formats are treated somewhat similarly to the way that we treat 'loose' VIs. In a DLL/EXE/LVLibp we know at build time what the contents and dependencies of a given built binary are going to be. With this knowledge we can go ahead and construct something that is more similar to a statically linked PE or ELF file (clearly we're not using either of those) while the analogy is not 100% perfect it's the best I can do without going into a couple pages worth of description In addition to these basic file format changes we did a large amount of work on implementing a new loader which is able to take advantage of the large amounts of precomputed file data that is now included in the format which enabled us to cut a lot of corners that were there previously.

Converting my photoshop files to a non-adobe program readable format

I have got a number of photoshop files which i cannot use because i dont have Photoshop. So i downloaded the trail version of Photoshop (MacOSX) to convert them to something that i can use with other programs.
My question is now ... What file format can i export them to?
I need a format that keeps all the information about the layers and all the other stuff - So i guess this is called workable file. What format does exist in Photoshop so that i can export it for later use with any other (means NON-Adobe) programm?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, your assumptions are correct. I would recommend to work on a copy of the files to maintain their integrity, and avoid losing features.
Basically that is the point .. I want to keep it editable in any way. I can not afford to spend hundreds of Euros or Dollars for such a Program. But i would need the possibility to change the text layers in the PSD files i have as well as changing some minor other things.
As it seems there is no alternative to the Photoshop. :-( As mentioned also the adobe chat support told me that the Photoshop Elements will not be able to open PSD files. So if this is true, ... then there is no way around the Photoshop. That means for me that i can not edit them ever again! :-(

New Adobe update does not accept Sony NEX .MTS file format - help?!

I've seen some 'solutions' to this problem but none apply to me. I do not have older versions of Premiere to work with these files and then import into the new Adobe CC 2014. I also tried renaming the file folder with the video files but that does not work for me either - unless there is a step by step process someone can provide so I can see what I am doing wrong.
Main point is this should not happen in the first place - it has never been a problem with Adobe before.
.MTS is a very popular file format - many people use the fs100 and fs700, etc.
ADOBE PLEASE FIX!

Keyword and metadata for non-image files.

Hi, everyone.
As I have started to use Bridge to browse files in my system including those that are not image files I tried to find information on how Bridge handles the assignment of keywords and metadata to these files but couldn't find anything on Adobe's site.
Considering non-image files such as PDF's, MS Office (Word, Excel), Text, HTML, and others, how does Bridge handles the assignment of metadata and keywords ? Where are they stored ? Embedded in the files themselves or in a sidecar file similar to what happens to RAW image files ?
I've read some posts from other users about problems with this. Some report that they are able to assign keywords but these aren't maintained once the file is re-saved.
Is there a manual on Adobe's site that covers the handling of keywords and metadata in Bridge ?
TIA,
Joe

Joe,
Being a digital archivist dealing primarily with pages digitized from the turn of the 20th Century for a religious sect I am highly involved in the usage of keywords. Each page of a work, be it either a volume of a newspaper or a book, contains keywords. I do not use side-car files but instead incorporate my keywords directly into the resultant TIF file.
So I used your posting to see what the answer was. To that end I am presently working on a 1922 title, Thirty-One Years of Organized Work in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana by Church of the Brethren from 1891 to 1922, that will consist of slightly over 500 pages. To test your question I placed the title of the work as a keyword. I then used Bridge's find ability. It did not work.
I forgot that Bridge converts all commas into semi-colons. And changing the colons into semi-colons still returned no results. An examination of the keywords tab showed the string broken down in to sections. Searching for the longest string showed the problem. Returning to my keyowrd string I removed all instances of the semi-colons and re-searched. This resulted in a properyl found file.
So. The longest string I have tested to date is 120 characters, the title of the work minus the commas. I suspect that Curt is correct in his assumption that it is limited by the operation system. I tested this theory by incorporating a double string (without the commas) of my book's title. This was 241 characters including the space between the duplicated title. The search was successful. A triple set of the title returned no hits.

Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!

Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:

If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj
