Batch Import Files

We have a need to post hundreds of documents to one of our content areas. I dread the thought of having to upload those documents one-by-one.
Is there a batch import application that we can use to get all those documents into the content area?

Scott,
Zip all of your files into one zip file. Add this zip file to the content area as a "zip file" item type. Once this has been added, you will see an "unzip" option. (If you don't see this, then the folder region style is set to not show the "associated functions" attribute. Modify the folder style and edit the region where the zip file exists. Add the "associated functions" attribute to be displayed.) Unzip the file, and all of your documents will be added as items.
Regards,
Kendra

Importing batches if files

Is there a way to import a batch of files, say, AIFFs into iTunes ? Problem is that when I first got iTunes the import pref was set at AIFF resulting in many huge files. Now I want to convert them to mp3s to save space, but there are so many that it would be a daunting task. I thought that by copying them to the desktop and importing them as mp3 I could reduce the size of my collection to a fraction of the space it now takes up, but I can't figure out how to import them as batches.Any help would be appreciated greatly.

You can leave the AIFF files in iTunes and go to iTunes prefs>Advanced>Importing and set your preferences for importing. Then from the main iTunes window select the tune(s) that you want to convert and hi-light them - then go to the iTunes Menu bar>Advanced>Convert Selection to mp3/mp4 (what ever your importing settings are).
Once converted to what ever - you can burn the AIFF to a CD/DVD as future b/u (if you have the original CD's then you can trash the AIFF's) - then remove them from iTunes to free up space.
You could also check to see if Automator can take care of the task for you.

Batch import lyrics from file

Hello
I have collected lyrics over the years. They are written in text files. Is there a way to batch import these lyrics into itunes? or do I have to do it one at a time? I have looked at many of the importer/search apps but none seem to have the capabilities of searching a file folder on the hard drive. Might be missing something here.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

In Library Module, select Grid Mode. Select all images you wish to read metadata from. Go to Metadata>Read Metadata from Files
Similarly, you can edit time for time zone/ AM-PM issues, etc by going to Metadata>Edit Capture Time

Batch importing Word files into separate InDesign files

Hi,
I have what I though would be a fairly common question, but I can't seem to find any information about it in this forum or on the web.
I have a folder of Word files (over 100, which is why I don't want to do this manually) and one InDesign CS4 file that I'd like to use as a template (basically it's just a couple of pages with some threaded text boxes and a few images). I would like to write a script that will go through the Word files, one by one, and pull each into the text box in the InDesign file before saving it as a new copy (ideally with the same name as the Word file). So, if I have 100 Word files and one InDesign file in a folder, I'd like to be able to run a script and end up with 100 new InDesign files.
I think I can deal with importing and placing the text, and saving the file again. It's mostly the question of using javascript to go through a folder to find all of the filenames so that I can pass the name to the import file command that is confusing me.
Oh, I'm on a Mac with OS 10.6 and using InDesign CS4.
Thanks!

Before reinstalling (which is most often unneeded) it would be useful to test the way the app behave when it is used in an other User Account.
If it behave flawlessly, no need to reinstall it.
If it doesn't, it *_may be useful_* to reinstall it but it's not sure.
Nothing prove that the problem is really linked to the installed application's files.
It may be linked to a file built on the fly like preferences or fonts cache…

Microsoft Word:mac - Batch Import Photos from file

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to montain lion and the latest update to the office:mac 2011. I have noticed that my automator workflow is now no longer working. I created a workflow that allowed the batch importing of photos into a document. The workflow works if you run it from within automator but does not work from within word.
I have also noticed that the sample workflows now no longer work. Very strange. I did some searching on the internet and other people have posted these issues on forums but no one suggested a solution.
Anyone else having this problem?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Adrian

You're very close to what needs to be done. Make sure that your new presentation is in a view that shows slide thumbnails (either Navigator or Light Table view). Then, when you select the photos, drag to the thumbnail area. This action will create a separate slide for each photo that was dragged and dropped in the thumbnail area.

Imported Files going in the wrong folder

Elements Organizer 10 started misplacing all the Imported Files in the folder above at some point.
In Folder Location view (under Display) I right click folder B and chose Import to Elements Organizer. Once the Import is finished, all photos but one are under folder A instead... needless to say my catalog now looks very messy because photos show in folders with different names. In Finder they appear in the right place, and even the File Properties in Elements show the correct location. Just not the Folders.
I have about 20k files imported in my catalogue, this started happening recently and affects only files imported in certain external drives or partitions.
I tried the repairs, optimizations, reconnects etc. for the catalogue, looked for updates and restarted the software many times now.
How can I fix this?

Hi guys,
Sorry about slow time to reply.
I'll try to be a bit more specific.
The problem seems to happen only with a new firewire drive, Lacie Rugged 1gb.
I have Mac OS X v10.6.8, processor 2.26Ghz, intel core duo, 8Gb 1067 DDR3; Elements Organizer 10.0
The problem happens regardless of how I import the files, ie in thumbnail or folder view, and my procedures have not changed since using previous drives (right click folder and chose Import to Elements Organizer). If I am in thumbnail view or folder batch view the files are there, however having to browse among Ks of files is not my preference, I like folder view better.
I think the image below explains it better: the folder selected is called Group Tax team day (bottom left). The photo at the top is actually from this folder, but the one at the bottom (and all the others then) are from a folder called HK Dez 2012, which is the last that was imported directly below. You can actually see that the path at the top of the image does not match the selected folder on the lower left. And btw, this means that the files at the top folder in the drive cannot be found in folder view, since they have no folder to move to.
Appreciate any help on this!

Batch importing from an Xcell spreadsheet

Hey all,
Sorry for the long post, but I've been hounding these forums and the cow and have found a lot of great information, just not the last little bit I'm looking for. So bear with me...
Trying to import an Xcell spreadsheet as logging information in FCP. Footage is P2 media (DVCroHD 1080p30) already stored on an external HD (with all file structure intact). Producer has a macbook, so no cool intel based logging software can be used. He is using P2pro, but is apparently unable to change timecode fields - a big drawback if you're trying to subclip.
We've got Larry Jordan's template log, and another one that a friend gave us. Exported producer's log as a tab delimited txt file. Imports into FCP just fine (with the exception of 40 or so blank clips (no name, no reel, duration of 01 frame). Fields are as follows:
*Name Reel Media Start Media End Log Note Description*
The clip name is the (random) number assigned by the camera, the start and end times are accurate & the big old log notes he entered are all there. So that seems good.
I was hoping to batch import those clips from the external HD using our new "subclip" in and out times. I am not seeing a "batch import" menu (am I?) If I drag the clip into the log & transfer window if launches the capture tool and tells me there is no deck present.
If I simply try to "reconnect" the media it balks at the different start and end times - also at number of audio tracks, and frame rates - which makes sense since none of that is in the log file.
If I use the log & transfer tool and cut and paste fields from the txt file, we get exactly what we want. So that's what we've been doing, but you can imagine it gets a little tedious. Tried to import the log file directly into that tool, but didn't find a way to do it.
So to recap:
I can import a funtional (as far as I can tell) log into FCP, but I can't get it to transfer the clips.
And to the questions:
1. is there a batch IMPORT function in FCP and I'm just missing it?
2. Can I import a list directly into log & transfer?
3. Is there a way point the batch capture function/tool to a file?
4. Can I modify the item properties for a logged clip (other than # of tracks - got that one.)
5. Do I just need to knuckle down and cut & paste and stop whining?
6. Is there a really obvious solution I've missed?
Again, sorry for the long post. Shane & David S., you guys have helped me with log & transfer in the past, any thoughts on this one?
Thanks for listening, I'm back to googling and manual perusal...

Mac OS 10.5.5
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB ram
GeForce 8600M GT Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 Quicktime 7.5.5

New info:
If I make one of the clips that I have imported (using the cut & paste method) offline, and do a batch CAPTURE on that, it does in fact launch log & transfer and retransfers it correctly. If I could modify the logged clip to reflect that, maybe it would work. The "source" field for example. But FCP won't let me modify that field in the logged clip. I'll try adding it to my txt log and report back.

Need to export customer master data in a batch input file

Hello all,
I'm searching for a solution to export customer master data out of a R/3 system (Release 470).
The challenge is that the file must have the same structure like the file for batch input of customer master data (import file of the program RFBIDE00).
So, has anybody an idea, if there is a standard tool to get such a file? Or has anybody developed a report creating this structure by his own?
Thanks for your help,
kind regards,
Dietmar

Hi,
I have also come across the same problem as above. There is a standard program RFBIDET0 which has to be customized to get the file which can be uploaded to RFBIDE00. Do anybody come across this kind of problem before and have a program already. It will be of great help, if you can forward the program or guide.

Custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_YYMMDD_0023.cr2? I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such, as well as extract only the camera file

Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2? I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example). Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.

In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

Import files not successfully uploading/rendering

I'm having trouble importing files successfully. Just tried uploading a batch of about 20 clips. Maybe 3 actually successfully rendered and appeard with a corresponding thumbnail in my Event window. The rest appear as an image of a white document icon and yellow caution sign on a red background. I never used to have this issue. Recently I installed OS X Mavericks and have really struggled to succesully import clips. Sometimes I have to upload 5, 6 or even 7 times to get all of the clips I need into the events page.
Anyone have advice? Thanks!

Nope. Not a pirate. Admittedly, I have been using this version for some time, and I don't get prompts for software updates. I'll make sure I do this now. Didn't realize the solution was that simple. Thanks for your help.

DTW batch import problem

Hi all,
I've got a problem when trying to batch import from sql statement via odbc:
"Can not connect to ODBC data source" and then "Can not get SQL handler"
Manual import is working well with this odbc connection !
The statement looks like: SELECT ItemCode AS 'Record Key', ItemCode, 'Y' AS 'Properties1' FROM OITM WHERE ItemCode = '4711'
While manually importing I saved the xml and after that call: dtw.exe -s config.xml
I used a SQL (Server 2005) Native Client DSN and only set db auth (sa...) and left other properties as default
Anybody knows this behavior? Is the statement wrong? Or the odbc connection?
(DTW Version 2005.0.0.29)
Thanks in advance
Marco
Edited by: Marco Willems on Jun 29, 2010 6:34 PM

Hi Marco,
I checked this issue using the 2007A DTW (version 2005.0.30) and the 8.8 DTW (version 88.0.11). I haven't had success.
The 8.8 version runs without error but did'nt update my test item. If you run it manually, the DTW reports one updated value. If I run it by a command (DTW -S <File>) it runs fine and reports zero successful update.
I don't know if the DTW is able to run sceduled ODBC updates or not and would hope for an answer to this thread!
All the best
Torsten

Problem with batch import and ReadAloud flag

We use the batch import to get our books into the Content Server. We have a couple of books where we want to allow the read-aloud feature. According to the manual setting the flag acs:RightReadAloud to -1 in the XML import file should take care of this but it doesn't work for us. I have tried setting the flag to -1 and 0 but the result is the same. Below is an excerpt from our XML file: <acs:PublishInfo> <acs:RightReadAloud>-1</acs:RightReadAloud> Any suggestions?

What version of ACS are you using and what process are you using? The following should work: - export the XML for the books you want to change - modify the XML tags for acs:RightReadAloud from 0 to -1 - make sure the values for the NotifcationType tags are set to 04 (update)--rather than 03 (replace) <Product> <NotificationType>03</NotificationType> - import the XML Do a new search for the books in ACS (to make sure you're seeing the new values) and check that the read aloud rights have changed. There is a problem in the importer which could cause an update like this to fail. See: http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/53803.htm

Batch Import of User Parameters

Hello,
I've got situation as follows:
- UME J2EE datasource is corporate LDAP,
- users are available in J2EE ume.
I need to load initial information about portal roles assigned to users and mapping info to backend systems.
Is it allowed via Batch Import utility of J2EE UME? Is it possible to 'overwrite originals' when user come from LDAP, instead UME db?
regards,
Mry

Hi,
I tried procedure proposed by you, and it seems that NW04s SP09 has issues...
What I did was (all done using Admins account):
1. created group in ume database (users come from ldap), and then assigned role to group,
2. assigned this group permission (read / enduser) to particular PCD folder,
3. prepared flat file for batch import utility
[Group]
gid=group_name
user=user1;user2
4. started the batch import utility
5. procedure went well
Complete Import Record
user=[user1, user2]
gid=group_name
status=UPDATED
6. afterwards, no assignement between group and user is visible in ume
7. in defaulttrace.log i can find the exception
Undefined User Attribute debugParameters; return empty string
