Advanced file info

In windows, I can right click>properties>advanced and 'add' ID3 data to say an MP3 file, is there an equivalent OS feature, I dont want to DL a program to do this.
I know i can do it in itunes, but i need to change the raw data file so that my Sonos sytems orders the files correctly.
I alos tried automator to rename a batch of files from say
01-Paul_Harcastle_Chime_andysmix.mp3
to
01 Chimes.mp3
I just couldnt get it to work without indiviaully renaming EVERY FILE, I want automator to delete certs text, am I doing somehitng wrong
Media Monkey is great on Windows for this, but alas there is no Mac version

Besides iTunes, there isn't a way to set the tags within the OS. (although it may be possible from the command line). You might try ID3Mod or ID3 Editor.
Unless you can tell Automator ahead of time what to remove with a pattern, it won't do what you want. There is no way I can envision a regular expression that could possibly get Chimes out of Paul_Harcastle_Chime_andysmix, except one written specifically for that specific instance, which would be superfluous since you could more easily just rename it manually.

  • Photoshop CC 2014: lost advance tab in menu Archive file info

    Hi to all.
    Recently I install Photoshop CC 2014, and I can't find the advance tab in the window "File Info" inside the Archive Menu, when I choose it.
    did we lost this tab in CC2014?
    Can I find this "advance" tab in other menu into Photoshop CC 2014?
    I appreciate any help, because there are a valid info for me inside this tab for my work.
    Thanks in advance and best wishes

    (sorry for my bad english  :S

    Hi JJMack, thanks for your answer 
    This missing info file tab in Photoshop CC 2014, advanced, it's very important to me because I must see a lot of images info all the day, and this tab makes my work a few easy and fast.
    All the exif data are still in the tab "raw data" but in xml format, too hard to my aged eyes   and the thousand pictures I must see in a day...
    Would be nice to include it again in the corresponding tab. Please Adobe!!!
    Thanks for your answer and for your comparative upload image between CC and CC 2014

  • File Info Dialog problem

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing a setting someplace.
    Problem: I write a lengthy caption in the "Description" window of the File Info dialog. Later on I want to use that same caption on a different image.
    Using CS3 on Windows I can click on the flyout arrow next to the "Description" window and input the entire caption.
    Using CS3 on Mac, the flyout will only input sections of the caption. It seems like the Mac version breaks the caption apart based on any punctuation that is in the caption.
    Ex. If my caption is "01 July 2008, Los Angeles, California, USA - Paul has issues with Photoshop, causing a problem when captioning files."
    Windows puts the entire caption in the field. Mac breaks it down like this:
    01 July 2008
    Los Angeles
    California
    USA
    Paul has issues with Photoshop
    causing a problem when captioning files
    I don't recall this being an issue with PS7 or CS1. Am I missing something or is this just the way CS3 works?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    -Paul

    I narrowed down the issue even more. Non-English languages have their strings, tags, and texts stored in a file named strings.txt in a language-specific subdirectory in the Resources directory in the Adobe Bridge CS6 program folder. The strings.txt file includes, among many other things, a language-specific decimal separator character—which in English is a dot but in many non-English languages is a comma.
    When I replace the comma as the decimal separator in the German-language strings.txt file by a dot then all of sudden the f-stops are displayed correctly in the thumbnail pane ... well, except that e. g. "f/2,8" now gets displayed as "f/2.8" which in German is wrong but acceptable—and definitely much better than "f/2,0" which is unacceptably wrong when the actual value is 2.8.
    The idea to try this dawned on me when I noticed that in some places in the metadata pane, decimal numbers are displayed with a comma (respecting the decimal separator character given in strings.txt); in other places, they're displayed with a decimal point (ignoring strings.txt). Those using a dot are correct; those using a comma are wrong. So there's two bugs in Bridge rather than just one. First bug: In some places, the language-specific decimal separator character is ignored. Second bug: When it is not ignored then the number displayed will be wrong.
    So my workaround now is to use a dot as the decimal separator character rather than a comma.

  • Do I need to do more than make a Custom File Info Panel

    I downloaded the spec for XMP Custom Panels and have it partially working in Photoshop CS--see the code below.<br /><br />The problem is with namespaces.  I want to put my info into a danser namespace in JPEGs. <br />1. The code below partially works in PS-CS but it puts the "Title" into dc:title and the "Season" into xap:Season<br />2. If I add xmp_namespace: danser  to the edit_text then the panel fails to load in PS-CS.<br />3. I'm not clear on the purpose of the Metadata templates in Photoshops "File Info" Advanced tab.   Do I need to make a template there? How? --or point me to instructions.  (I made one but it didn't help.)<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0"><br /><!DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://ns.adobe.com/custompanels/1.0"><br /><panel title="$$$/DISC/PanelName=danser" version="1" type="custom_panel"><br />group(placement: place_column, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top)<br />     {<br />     static_text(name: '$$$/danser/Title1=Title:', horizontal: align_left);<br />     edit_text(horizontal: align_fill, xmp_path: 'Title', vertical: align_top);<br />          <br />     static_text(name: '$$$/danser/Title1=Season:', vertical: align_left);<br />     edit_text(horizontal: align_fill, xmp_path: 'Season', vertical: align_top);<br />     }<br /></panel>

    I found the problem and also an easier way to do create Custom info panels.
    The docs don't mention that you have to use an "xmp_ns_prefix" along with an "xmp_namespace". I found this parameter in the code generated by the free MetaLab application from poundhill.com
    For example, the first editText line in my earlier post should be:
    edit_text(horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'danser', xmp_namespace: 'http://ns.danser.com/danser/1/', xmp_path: 'Title', vertical: align_top);
    MetaLab makes this process a lot easier. Do the rough work in it and then hand tweak the code to specify things like field height.
    Once I made that change, everything worked--there's no need (for this purpose) to load XMP or templates in the advanced tab).

  • MetaData in file not shown in Illustrator cs6 file info panel

    I have a command line application that puts meta-data into files.  It was created using the 5.1.2 xmp toolkit.  The metadata is in the file.  I can see it if I just use TextEdit to look at the file.  I can also see the custom metadata in the Illustrator CS5 File Info Panel AND the Photoshop CS6 File Info Panel.  The information doesn't show up in the Illustrator CS6 file info panel.  Any clue why?

    The files I am testing with are .jpg's.  They ultimately need to be opened with Illustrator which is why I posted.  I only tested with Photoshop to see what would happen and was pretty surprised to see the data there.  Like I said, it works in CS5 Illustrator, CS6 Photoshop, but the data just doesn't show up in the CS6 Illustrator (in the advanced nor the raw tab), and when I view the .jpg with textedit the data is difinitely there.  Pretty weird.

  • XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded to CC

    For several versions of Photoshop, I have been able to use a modified custom file info panel to input, update, and track psd files. With each version of photoshop there are always some changes in the way the object data is handled. The lastest challenge is:
    1. XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded CC from CS6.
    2. Raw data is not visible in CC in the File info panel.
    3. This occurs in new documents where we create the xmp wrapper while the file template is built.
    4. When metadata is manually entered into the file, the data is not added to the XMP wrapper when it is recreated on the save.
    5. When a file that was created in CS6 is opened that contains the Metadata in the file info template. It is visible. the Raw data is also visible. Once the XMP wrapper is recreated - write and then close. The data is no longer available. the Raw data will not pull up in the file info panel.
    Any feedback or a direction will be appreciated.

    I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
    in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
    is no longer the node that can be appended.
    Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
    <rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
    it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are  XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
    with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

  • Metadata fields missing in File Info

    I had to reinstall PSCS3 and Bridge this morning. Have all of the updates as of today. Now, for some unknown reason, when I go to "File Info" I am missing many of categories on the left. All I have are "Description, Origin, and Advanced". Did I toggle off a setting in prefs that I didn't catch? Help keep me from going insane.

    Problem solved on another site. If interested in the answer; I've included the link to the other forum post.

  • The "File Info..." box does not appear, how to fix?

    I have sent this in on the bug fix form and thought id ask on here as well. Basically I am trying to find out the information for my document which I am in the middle of editing, though after clicking on file info within the file menu nothing appears. It wont let me exit indesign as it says there is a dialog box there, the only way i can "exit" this is by selecting enter on the keyboard before closing down indesign. I have tested this on a new document, tried making my screen scale smaller, checked the other desktops and I cannot find or see any file info dialog box when it is apparently in use. I am using an Apple MacBook Pro on operating system "Mavericks-10.9.5". I have done the same sequence of creating a document and selecting file info on photoshop as a test to see whether it crosses over all the software, though this isnt the case. Therefore I have tried to clear my workspace preferences and again to no avail. Can anyone figure this problem out?
    Thanking you in advance
    Nicole
    P.S
    This issue has been resolved after finding the below linked post. I reinstalled Indesign and it seems to work fine now, though if the error reoccurs I will add this to my thread. Also something that is worthy of noting is that I also use multiple screens, i vary between using the macbook's screen alone and that of the macbook plus a HD desktop monitor.
    P.P.S
    Further to using the guidance found in the below thread my illustrator CC has once again encountered this issue. I have been using multiple screens as usual and I am wondering if there is a simpler way to sort the issue out rather then re-installing the software?
    Re: file info... window invisible

    You need to burn the CD
    using the "Rock Ridge" file extension. This creates
    (or adds on to the CDFS, I'm not sure which) a Unix
    file system which OBP can understand.No. RockRidge extensions only apply to ISO-9660 filesystems and they can only be applied if you're actually creating the filesystem in the first place. Installation CDs boot from a UFS filesystem that doesn't require RR. (Although they may have an additional hsfs filesystem).
    If you have a .ISO file, then the filesystem is already constructed. You can't affect RR extensions at that point. Even simple little ISO burning scripts that don't have any understanding of UFS or RR should be able to construct the disk properly.
    I have made it
    to this point. I have systematically burned around 25
    CDs (all made on Wintel -- an old Gateway PC running
    WinXP Pro), taking notes on which configuration
    settings were used to make each one, attempting to
    install Solaris 10 for SPARC. I am at the point now
    where OBP recognizes the CD (I no longer see the
    "can't execute" error message), but it can't tell
    which CD it is i.e. #1, #2, etc. So, I need to open
    up the CD catalog once again, and try to determine in
    which logical block the disk ID is located, and then
    try to figure out where to enter that information in
    my CD burning software (currently experimenting with
    "Magic ISO".
    Also, if you are atttempting to boot your SPARC
    machine from the .iso disk #1, you will need to make
    that CD bootable. Use your favorite search engine
    with the terms "el torito" "bootable CD" and you will
    discover a lot of information on this subject.The .ISO file contains the information for a bootable CD. There's nothing extra you have to do. You'd have to worry about that if you wanted to create a new CD and make it bootable, not if you just want to burn the Sun provided ISO images.
    In addition, I'm pretty sure that El Torito is an x86/BIOS standard and doesn't apply to SPARC/OBP.

  • Photoshop CS2 File Info Templates fill in all pages, not just it's own

    I just purchased an Acer Laptop computer, has an AMD 64x2 Dual Core Processor, 2GB of DDR2 Ram, 160GB hard drive with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled. I'm not sure how any of this could be of any help, though.
    I've just installed Photoshop CS2, Neat image noise remover, Nik sharpener, and Huey pro calibrator on it.
    This is to be a second computer to a Dell desktop, that will be used when out of town and we want to work on our images.
    Today we opened Photoshop CS2 and tried to work on some Raw images. We were just going to crop them and fill in the File Info on them then save them to jpeg.
    The cropping went fine. When we tried to enter file info and save the Metadata Templates we had trouble. There are 7 of 12 different pages of info that can be changed, the other 5 can't be, I think. Anyway, we were filling in the Description, IPTC Contact, ITPC Content, IPTC Image and IPTC Status pages. We saved the IPTC Contact page as a Metadata Template.
    The first image went fine, but when we opened other images, and typed in the information it all changed back to the information on the first image we did when the saved Contact template was used. When we saved the IPTC template for the first image it save the information on all of the pages, not just the Contact page. When we realized this, I started playing around with it and whatever template was saved last will give you all the information typed in on all pages that was there when that template was saved. I also checked the Photoshop CS2 installed on the Dell Desk Top and it is working correctly. We have templates for Description, IPTC Contact, and IPTC Image saved on it. These will give you the information on the individual page not all.
    Why would it be doing this on the Laptop and more importantly, how can I fix it?
    I sure hope this makes sense and do apologize for the length of it. Thanks in advance for any help I can get. Linda

    I was having a similar problem - I was saving an SVG from Illustrator, only to find that when I tried to open it or place it back in Illustrator, I got the error "This SVG is Invalid. Validate it before opening."
    You can run the SVG through the W3C validator, remove all the parts causing errors using a simple text editor like Notepad, and then Illustrator should be able to open it. This is a laborious process though if you have a lot of SVGs to save.
    After a discussion with Apple support, I learned that it was actually one of my graphics in the Illustrator file that was causing the issue. I had placed an SVG I received from a co-worker, changed the colors, and was trying to save it as an SVG again, but for some reason I kept getting that error, even when I tried save other icons/layers in the same document. When I deleted the two layers that were corrupt, the Save As SVG worked perfectly, no errors when opening the file.
    I don't know details, but if you are getting this error, try the Flatten Transparency thing like witkacy suggests. If you're still having problems, it may be caused by an SVG you placed in your file. After a little bit of trial and error, you may be able to find the culprit. You may then have to re-create the graphic yourself (like I did). Converting it to outlines or a shape or something may work as well, but I'm not sure.
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • File Info XAP XMP XML

    I'm not having any luck trying to figure out how to store some XML data into an AI file using the SDK. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to accomplish what I am trying to do:<br /><br />My plugin is notified when the file is being saved.<br /><br />At this point, I extract some information, and want it to be stored with the file when it's saved, so it can be extracted later.<br /><br />If you open the AI file in a text editor, you will see that there is a readable XML packet (<x:xmpmeta>) near the top of the file.<br /><br />Using AIXMLDocumentSuite and AIXMLNodeSuite I'm able to save some nodes to the file, however, that information does -not- get stored in the human readable <x:xmpmeta> text packet at the top of the file. This is not good enough for my purposes.<br /><br />I tried using:<br /><br />AIDocumentSuite::GetDocumentXAP<br />Which seems to return exactly the information I'm referring to in the file.. Make modifications, then:<br />AIDocumentSuite::SetDocumentXAP<br /><br />My changes are not saved into the file. I suspect that maybe I write the data with Set, and then immediately afterward, as Illustrator finishes the saving process, it's overwritten.<br /><br />I need to insert my data into the AI structure somehow, so that it is written when the file is saved...<br /><br />This information is available through illustrator if you choose the menu options "File -> File Info" then click on "Advanced" in the list on the left.<br /><br />Does anyone know how I can properly manipulate this "File Info" data? and store custom information? There are no XML related examples in the Illustrator SDK, and very little documentation on how it is supposed to be used.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

    Ok, I've made some progress on this issue, that being I finally forced my way to getting my data saved into the file.<br /><br />I talked about this a bit in another thread, but I'll reiterate here, hoping that someone else searching for solutions to this problem can know where to start.<br /><br />I did exactly as I suggested above:<br /><br />AIDocumentSuite::GetDocumentXAP<br /><br />Make modifications, then:<br /><br />AIDocumentSuite::SetDocumentXAP <br /><br />It was not easy to avoid the phenomenon I described above however.<br /><br />The modifications you make must comply with some undocumented rules; because if you pass some text in that does not pass the rule, all of your changes are discarded; replaced by whatever was there originally.<br /><br />There is no error reported. There should be an error when calling SetDocumentXAP if you pass in 'invalid' data, or at the very least, the valid data structure (schema) should be defined in the documentation (it's not).<br /><br />What I did was put all of my additions inside a <rdf:Description> tag and put it right after the other ones already in there.<br /><br />Sample:<br /><br />     <rdf:Description rdf:about=""<br />            xmlns:my_tagname="http://www.mycompany.com/1.0/"><br />         <my_tagname:my_metadata rdf:parseType="Resource"><br />            <my_tagname:my_parameter>value</my_tagname:my_parameter><br />            <my_tagname:my_data_1><br />               <rdf:Bag><br />                 <rdf:lirdf:parseType="Resource">                     <br /><my_tagname:my_parameter_2>Value</my_tagname:my_parameter_2><br />                     <my_tagname:my_parameter_3>Value</my_tagname:my_parameter_3><br />                     <my_tagname:my_parameter_4><br />                        <rdf:Seq>                        <br />                        <rdf:li>some data</rdf:li><br />                        <rdf:li>some data</rdf:li><br />                        </rdf:Seq><br />                     </my_tagname:my_parameter_4><br />                  </rdf:li><br />               </rdf:Bag><br />            </my_tagname:my_data_1><br />         </my_tagname:my_metadata><br />      </rdf:Description><br /><br />I hope this helps someone else.

  • File-File Info not working

    I was told that I could find the image count of my camera if I view the advanced section of "file info" but I have found that "file info" does not even function.  I have tried NEF files, JPEG files, PSD files and no joy.  All I get is a blank window.  I can't close the window, I can't close the program, I can't do nuthin'...
    I have to go to Task Manager and close the program from there.  My system is 64 bit Windows 7 running Photoshop CS5 64 bit.  (I tried running the 32 bit version of PS and had the same issue.)
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Any ideas?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Randy

    I'm assuming all your CS5 updates have been installed.
    If the File Info window is hanging,I would try resetting Photoshop preferences. (Hold down alt-shift-ctrl keys and click on the PS icon) When asked to discard prefs,choose Yes,
    If that fails,get your original disk or installer and use the Repair option.
    I'm not having this problem,but those are the first two I would try.

  • Finder relaunches when viewing M2V file info ...

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I imagine I'm most likely to find an answer here. So, here it goes:
    As the topic states, the Finder relaunches itself whenever I try to view the file info of a M2V file. This happens when I'm attempting to "Get Info" or simply scrolling the window to the right. More specifically, this occurs when I reach the "Kind" column (removing "Kind" from the window disables the problem). While I wouldn't mind simply excluding "Kind" from my windows, I am still unable to "Get Info" on any M2V files. Any ideas why this may be occuring?
    The Files:
    - compressed with Compressor 2.0.1, via Final Cut Pro 5.0.2 (source media uses "Animation" codec)
    - MPEG-2 compression
    - 1-pass, 7.5 Mbs CBR, 29.97fps progressive, 720x 480
    The System:
    - Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5
    - 2.5 GB RAM
    - 372.62 GB SATA RAID (96.11 GB available)
    - OS 10.3.9 (all "Software Updates" installed)
    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    take care & God bless,
    Steve Cole

    I suspect you are seeing a variation of the problem discussed in the following link:
    Waymen, "quicktime 7.0.2. and m2v" #4, 11:35pm Sep 8, 2005 CDT
    However, since you experience a crash in the Finder when you try to access the Get Info you will have to use a different technique to reset the file association. Select one of the .m2v files that is giving you a problem and then do a control-click (or right click) to show the Finder's contextual menu, then go to the Open With item and select Other... and click the Always Open With checkbox and then navigate to your QuickTime Player and select it as the application to open. This will change the file association for the .m2v file kind and it should fix the problem. You may want to do a system reboot after you do the above fix.
    Summary: control-click or right click on the problem .m2v file then:
    Open With -> Other... -> (select "Always Open With" checkbox) -> Open (choose) QuickTime Player.
    If this suggestion helps in any way, a confirmation or acknowledgment would be appreciated, since that would also help others who may be having the same difficulty. Do for others as you would have them help you.

  • Can "File Info" data be deleted?

    Hello,
    Currently using FM11 and creating unstructured documents.  We make custom types of equipment and tend to start a new document from a previous version.  We'd like to delete the previous "File Info" data and update with current data for the new document.  We delete the "File Info" data and save the document, but when reopened, the data is still there.
    Thanks you in advance,
    WRB

    Is this a book, or a single FM document file?
    If a book, make sure you delete file info in the Book dialog, and just for good measure, if leaving empty, also make sure all of the component files have no File Info. I haven't tested it, but it wouldn't surprise me if FM uses the first-found when building the PDFinfo.
    In our release process, we routinely process the PDFs in Acrobat Pro, Examine Document, and let it remove (only) Metadata and File Attachements (since it's buggy on everthing else). Removing Metadata deletes almost all of the PDFInfo (FM File Info).
    We end up pasting the desired values back in, so that search engines can find our stuff. Some search engines may only index PDFinfo, either because that's all they do, or because that may be the only plaintext available if you have certain security settings.
    I suspect Google indexes everything, as long as it can open the PDF at all, even if it needs to OCR the whole thing.
    Attention Authors: on the Windows platform, your user/login name is often written to the PDFinfo by default. This is either a benefit or a hazard. If it's a benefit, it's not my problem .
