Batch File Info problem: (CS3)

As was the case with CS2, when in bridge adding file info. to multiple files, the data entered within Copyright Notice, Copyright Status and Copyright Info URL is shown as entered and correct when checking back the file info. within Bridge - However, if one of those files is then opened in Photoshop and the file info. is checked, the data entered is either incomplete or simply not being shown.
This occurs when working working on TIFFS. When working with JPEG it does not.
Process:
1) Bridge - Adding file info.
- Select multiple files.
- Right click > File info
- Enter file info. data.
- Click ok.
2) Bridge - Checking file info.
- Select one of the files file info. has been applied to.
- Right click > File info.
- Check info. panels for correct data.
- All appears correct and as entered.
3) Photoshop - Checking file info.
- Open one of the files file info. has been applied to.
- Check file info:
i) Having chosen Copyrighted as the option within Copyright Status, now appears untouched and defaults to Unknown!!
ii)Data entered within Copyright Notice appears incomplete, showing only the first sentence and a half. (i.e 22 words, 107 characters (no spaces) 128 characters (with spaces))
iii)Data entered within Copyright Info URL does not appear.
I figured this would have been sorted for CS3?!
For me this is a really major issue, your assistance and a fix are desperately, desperately needed.
Kind regards
Will

I am using Vista, but have no problems with opening File Info on multiple files.

  • File Info problems in Photoshop CC & CS5.1 on OS X 10.8

    I have recently upgraded my Macs, running OS X Mountain Lion, from Photoshop CS5.1 to Photoshop CC for two reasons:
    1. Because it most the most cost efficeint way to obtain the latest Camera Raw plugins that are no longer supported in CS5.1
    2. Because I began experiencing issues on two Macs where initially only in Bridge, was I no longer able to input any File Info dialogue.
    I make extensive use of File Info templates, which are then applied to batches of files in Bridge before individual files, or groups of files requiring the identical metadata are modified.
    After a time, once the overall batch of File Info templates had been applied to files I discovered that I was unable to edit them further. Even after Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility it usually took a reboot to fix the problem, although the problem was always solved.
    However there came a point a few weeks ago when I was unable write any further metadata to File Info, in Bridge or Photoshop, no matter what I did. Again this issue happened on two Macs so I'm guessing that it is not a machine issue.
    As I needed the latest Camera RAW plugins as well I decided to upgrade to Photoshop CC, which I have to say I have been very pleased with - until now. The dreaded File Info problem has now occurred again, although currently only in Photoshop, not Bridge. When I try to add or modify any information in File Info in Photoshop CC the dialogue box just closes!
    Clearly it is not just a Photoshop CC issue although I never had the problem prior to CS5.1 and I leapfrogged CS6 and I find it hard to believe that it is a machine issue. Could it be a conflict with the OS or with Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4?
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Curt, Thanks for your rapid response.
    To answer your questions. I thought that, initially, the problem might be a permissions problem but it occurs on both boot drives and also when the same files are copied to Firewire external drives - on both Macs, but different external drives in each case. I followed your link but there was nothing there that I didn't already know or hadn't already tried, thanks.
    One computer is a 24" iMac and the other is a 15" MacBook Pro. I've also tried to replicate the problem on four PowerMac G5s running OS X 10.5.8 with Photoshop/Bridge CS4, with the same drives plugged in, but have experienced no problems at all. It's quite bizarre.
    Also, looking deeper into the conundrum, I find that I can't input any numbers, only letters! Using the keyboard all numbers, whether on the main or auxiliary keypads, cause the File Info dialogue box to either jump to a new tab or close. Using Shift on the numbered keys works perfectly however!
    It just goes on getting better...

  • Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

    I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
    Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
    I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
    Same problems.
    Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
    I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

    Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
    File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
    Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
    This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
    I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
    I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

  • File Info problem

    I have just recently upgraded from a Windows XP Pro desktop to a Vista Premium Laptop. I store all my MP3's (200GB+) on an external hard drive which is backed up on a second.
    I used the following programs on XP:
    CD Grabber
    MediaTagger
    iTunes
    Now when I come to access my mp3's on Vista using these programs I have the following problems:
    * When I try to edit the file info in iTunes the fields are grayed out and I cannot edit them.
    * When I open Media Tagger manually and edit the files I get a message saying I cannot access this file.
    All the MP3's play fine and I can edit any new files I have ripped or downloaded.
    I believe the problem may be something to do with file ownership. Can anybody advise?

    Yes, this is most likely a folder permission issue, Vista is very fussy about that.
    Your account needs to have full control of your iTunes Music folder.
    There is help on permissions here:

  • Batch File Creation Problem CS5.5

    I am having an issue creating aep files on our farm using aerender in CS5.5.  We have a script that uses a template aep to generate a new file for various shots.  It works fine in CS4.  When I use the same script in CS5.5 it creates a file, but when you try to open it, it gives the following messages:
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    After Effects error: strange situation [0/2].  (26 :: 84)
    At which point AE either crashes or leaves a blank file.
    However, if you try to import the same file, it works fine and everything appears as desired.
    If I run the same script through the CS5.5 UI (AfterFX.exe as opposed to aerender.exe) the file generated opens without issue.
    I also tried stripping out parts of the script to see if removing elements fixed the issue.  It did not - in fact I made a new script to try in batch mode that only saves a file.  This results in the the same
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    but no errors, though I imagine that's because it's a blank project to begin with. 
    Here is the code for that script:
    function testBuild() {
        var saveMe = new File("//server/job/comp/dev/work/test/shot/file_test.aep");
        app.project.save(saveMe);
    We are using a slightly modified version of commandLineRenderer.jsx that allows extra flags to run pre-render scripts and submit without rendering.  I merged our custom edits with the version that ships with CS5.5 to ensure continuity.  Again, the script works in CS4 (even w/ the updated custom CS5.5 version of the commandLineRenderer.jsx).
    Here's the command that runs on the farm:
    aerender -s 1 -e 1  -norender -script //server/job/bin/dev/testBuild.jsx -command "testBuild()"  2>&1
    the -norender -script and -command flags were things we added to commandLineRenderer.jsx, -norender indicates not to render the project, -script gives the script to load and -command the command to run.
    The issue seems directly related to saving using aerender.exe in CS5.5 since everyting works correctly in CS4 and in the CS5.5 UI
    We are running Windows 7 64-bit.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Hi Johny,
    I forgot to come back to this thread, sorry.
    So it seems that the save file in noui batch do not complete his job, in fact, when you save your file in aepx (xml file) you could see the change between a NOUI file and an UI file, there is 3 lines missing, near the end :
    </Fold>
    <wsns bdata="XXXX"/>
    <wsnm bdata="XXXXXXXX"/>
    <string>Standard</string>
    <fcid bdata="XXXXX"/>
    <LSIf>
    If you add those three line in your .aepx (at the right place) you can open your file in Ae without any problem (I do not know what it refers too and you should get your own figures, in place of XXX).
    Moreover, I tried too to contact adobe support, but even if you suceed to reach them, they will tell you that the problem come from your script, even if it's quite obvious that the save option for noui do not complete his job.
    Hope it will help you and other members,
    Best Regards.

    I am not expert is DOS but I think you can fix this with
    a simple programming logic elements in the script.
    You have 2 cases:
    1 case ) When you have only one parameter
    2 case ) When you have more or equal than two parameters
    if exist tbs1 == goto mark1
    if exist tbs2 == goto mark2
    mark2:
    echo BACKUP tablespace %tbs1% %tbs2% ; > c:\temp\tbs.rman
    goto end
    mark1:
    echo BACKUP tablespace %tbs1% ; > c:\temp\tbs.rman
    goto end
    end:
    rman TARGET / @ c:\temp\tbs.rman
    This can be one the case for 1 or 2 parameters . If
    you think to pass more parameters you have to use
    another logic.
    I hope this can help you!

  • Batch file naming in Photoshop 6.0

    I have tried every which way I can to rename photos I have scanned in using the Automate Batch process. I have used the batch to perform other tasks, but I am having no luck with renaming using the year, a 3 digit number (to keep the photos in order) and then the extension (Tiff). I downloaded the update which was supposed to take care of a problem they were having with the batch file naming problem, but I am still having no success. Please, any input will be appreciated.

  • Execute java class from a batch file called from runtime.exec

    Hi.
    I don´t know if this question fits here.
    I wan´t to execute a batch file (on Win XP) with runtime.exec. That batch file will execute another java program.
    I have the following code:
    Resolutor.java
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    public class Resolutor {
          * @param args

              Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
              //String[] command = { "cmd.exe", "/C",".\\lanzar.bat .\\ .\\ 001.res:001.dtt" };
              String[] command = { "cmd.exe", "/C",".\\tarea\\lanzar.bat " + args[0] + " " + args[1] + " " + args[2]};

                   //Process proceso = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("lanzar.bat");
                   Process proceso = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
                   InputStream stderr = proceso.getErrorStream();
                InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr);
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
                String line = null;
                System.out.println("<ERROR>");
                while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                    System.out.println(line);
                System.out.println("</ERROR>");
                   int exitVal = proceso.waitFor();
                   System.out.println("EXITVAL: " + exitVal);
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
    }lanzar.bat
    java Lanzador %1 %2 %3Lanzador.java
    import java.util.Vector;
    public class Lanzador {
          * @param args
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              Repetitiva rpt=new Repetitiva();
              String rutaFicheros=args[0];
              String rutaResultado=args[1];
              String[] ficheros=args[2].split(":");
              Vector<String> ficheroDatos=new Vector<String>();
              for(int i=0;i<ficheros.length;i++){
                   ficheroDatos.add(ficheros);
                   System.out.println(ficheros[i]);
              System.out.println("RUTA DE FICHEROS: " + rutaFicheros);
              System.out.println("RUTA DE RESULTADOS: " + rutaResultado);
              System.out.println("CALCULAR");
              rpt.setRepetitiva(ficheroDatos, rutaFicheros, rutaResultado);
              rpt.calcular();
    }I´ve got Resolutor.class in /res and the other two files (and the rest of the files for running) in /res/tarea.
    If I execute /res/tarea/lanzar.bat from the command line everything works fine, it calls java and runs lanzador without problem.
    The problem comes when I try to execute the batch file via Resolutor.class. It executes the batch file without problem, but it throws a *java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lanzador* when launching the new java application.
    Any ideas of how can I solve that problem. (It must do it via batch file).

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CS3 File File Info   ( Bug & Solution )

    I've faced a problem with rasterized EPS files form an Illustrator when I've tryied to add some meta data to the file info (keywords, descritpion, etc.) and I discovered that form time to time I can't paste any word to keywords and description from a clipboard using a cmd+V keystroke (I've text files with alll data required saved in separated text files) so I've tryied to restart Photoshop, turn off all software apart from Photoshop, computer restart, but it still happend from time to time.
    Yesterday I did realize that the problem are with a CAPS LOOK, so if the CPAS LOOK are ON ctrl+V in Photoshop would't work. So turn off CAPS LOOK and then everything will back to normal.
    Best Regards

    I don’t have CS3 installed anymore and, like I said, it is not my field of expertise but being able to keyword multiple files in one go alone sounds like an advantage.

    I'm creating a custom file info panel that uses the values of the dublin core description and keywords (subject) for two of it's own fields.  I'm having problems with the panel saving if they enter the description on the custom panel first, and with the keywords not echoing each other, or reappearing after a save.<br /><br />Here is the code for the panel<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0"><br /><!DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://ns.adobe.com/custompanels/1.0"><br /><panel title="$$$/matthew/FBPanelName=Testing for Matthew" version="1" type="custom_panel"><br />     group(placement: place_column, spacing:gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top)<br />     {<br />          group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top)<br />          {<br />               static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/keywords = Keywords', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);<br />               edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/keywordsFB = Keywords', locked: false, height: 60, v_scroller: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'dc', xmp_namespace: <br />'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/', xmp_path: 'subject');<br />          }<br />          group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top)<br />          {<br />               static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/description = Description', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);<br />               edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/descriptionFB = Description', locked: false, height: 60, v_scroller: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'dc', xmp_namespace: <br />'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/', xmp_path: 'description');<br />          }<br />          group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top)<br />          {<br />               static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/season = Season', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);<br />               popup(fbname: '$$$/matthew/seasonFB = Season', items: '$$$/matthew/Season/Items={};option 3{option 3};option 2{option 2};option 1{option 1}', xmp_namespace:'http://monkeys.com/demo/testingmatthew/namespace/', xmp_ns_prefix:'matthew', xmp_path:'season');<br />          }<br />          group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top)<br />          {<br />               static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/ltf = Limited Text Field', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);<br />               edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/ltf = Limited Text Field', locked: false, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_namespace:'http://monkeys.com/demo/testingmatthew/namespace/ ', <br />xmp_ns_prefix:'matthew', xmp_path:'ltf');<br />          }<br />     }<br /></panel><br /><br />Thanks for the help

    To answer my own question:
    The documentation really sucks.
    I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
    usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
    WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
    The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
    Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
    After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.
    Cheers,

  • Problems Force Running a batch file

    Hi There,
    I am trying to force-run a batch file to copy files from a local NBO Appliance to the C:\tmp directory on the user's workstation. The batch file lives at c:\tmp\branding.bat.
    I cant get the batch file to force run. Zen reporting advises that the batch file has distributed and launched successfully, however the files do not copy.
    However, if i click on the icon for the batch file app - the files copy no problem. I have tried running Workstation Associated and (Unrestricted) User Associated as well as Workstation - Force Run as User.
    Path to executable file:
    %*WinSysDir%\cmd.exe
    Parameters:
    /c "c:\tmp\branding.bat"
    Any ideas? The batch file has to refer to the P: drive as the application covers 40 different sites each with their own appliance containing source files.
    Running NBO2 - ZFD 4 Agent 4.0.1.60 - Clientless
    Desktop XP Workstations
    Thanks
    Thax

    Have the app object copy the batch file to the hard drive from the
    server and then run it locally. This should work with a Middle Tier server.

  • Problem with running rhcl.exe in batch file

    Hi,
    I'm running Robohelp 8 and trying to use rhcl.exe to generate multiple help projects. I'm having a problem with the folder where the rhcl.exe is generating the web help. It seems to ignore the "-o" switch and gets the generation folder from the project all the time. As you can see from the log file below, the exe appears to pick up the "-o" path  (......\Test\Opportunities.htm), but writes the generated files to the path in the project (.....\Opportunities\index.htm).
    Anyone else come across this problem?
    MY BATCH FILE IS:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\rhcl.exe" "C:\Data\RoboHelp\RoboHelp Projects\SubProjects\SupplierPortal\Opportunities\Opportunities.xpj" -l Webhelp -o "C:\Data\RoboHelp\GeneratedWebHelp\SupplierPortal\mergedProjects\Test" -g "C:\Data\RoboHelp\GeneratedWebHelp\Generate.log"
