Batch text change

I have two psd files that will be merged with a green screened head shot of the individual. I need to produce a custom version of the psd with the text layers for each individual. The last time I did this I manually changed the text for each of over 100 psds! I am hoping someone can point me at an automated method of doing this. I have looked at the "internals" of the psd and the text appears to be there in plain text - but my attempts to modify the text have failed.
Anyone know of a tool or method for automating this task?
Photoshop Elements 8 on Mac with leopard.

If text is same then probably Process Multiple Files can be used. http://www.photokaboom.com/photography/learn/Photoshop_Elements/batch_processing/1_batch_p rocessing.htm
Else there is no direct way of doing it for diff text on each of the PSDs.

Maintain Batch long text - change log

Hi,
Any pointers as to how to maintain Change log for long texts.
kiki

Tolga,
I don't know what method member Kiki decided upon, but if it were me, I would be inclined to use the Auditing feature of ERP to keep, display, and manage Long text change logs.

AppleScript for Batch Title Changes Needed

I need to change the title of 75 items in a folder on my G5 by one character. Help says there's a Script Menu in the Finder bar, but I suspect the Help is for Tiger & I have Panther, and there is no such option. I only have Script Editor.
Would anyone be willing to provide an AppleScript for batch title changes so I can make the needed change? I'm not a programmer. Secondly, how do I activate the script?
David

Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. In Example Scripts/Finder Scripts, I see Replace Text in Item Names.scpt. I'm thinking this is the script I need. Not so?
Can you recommend a resource that would tell me how to fill in the blanks? Apple refers to Getting Started With AppleScript, but I don't see it as an available PDF file. AppleScript Language Guide is available, but all I really want is something simple, very basic.

How can I recover from a Botched BATCH DATE CHANGE in iPhoto?

Botched Batch Date Change iPhoto08
Short Story: Intending to change the date for one photo I managed to change the dates for all 8,525 images in my iPhoto08 library to the SAME DATE!! I found that the original creation dates were saved in the in the Modified field that appears in the Photo Info Window / File metadata subsection. I would like some help figuring out how to set the Date Created to this File Modified Date that appears in the Photo Info Window.
GORY DETAILS:
I used iPhoto08/ Photos menu / BATCH CHANGE... /“Set DATE to 20100723 1:20:54 PM” with “Modify original files” checked. iPhoto changed all 8,525 images to the same date.
I now realize I should have used Photos menu / Adjust Date and Time ... But the damage was already done. Unfortunately there was no Edit menu / Undo for this operation. ALL 8,525 images have the same date. I checked in the the iPhoto Information sidebar--same date all images.
Next, as a test, I dragged an image to the desktop and opened it in Graphic Converter7.0.3. The same date “20100723 1:20:54 PM” appeared in the Image Browser List /”Date Created”, “Date Modified”, “Date Captured” metadata fields.
The following appeared in the Graphic Converter
Image Preview sidebar (subWindow) going left to right

<<<<<<OH MY GOD >>>>>> the BATCH CHANGE / SET DATE not only RESET the date for EVERY IMAGE in my library, it also changed the date metadata EVERYWHERE inside each individual image file.
Actually it's my Mom and Dad's iPhoto library containing all the kids and grand kids pictures, family trips, important events, everything. There is no backup. I feel as if I have tipped over a file cabinet containing all our photos. Our “date and event” organized 8,525 image iPhoto library was now as useful as a giant shoebox. On second thought, a shoe box full of real photo prints would be more useful than my iPhoto library because the prints would have the print date stamped on them.
At this point feeling desperate I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer to Saint Rita - Patron Saint of the Impossible.
I returned to iPhoto .................and noticed the Show Photo Info MENU item in the Photo Menu.
I selected it.
And Low and behold,
in the Photo Info WINDOW,
under the Meta data File SUBSECTION, the correct photo creation date appeared -->" Modified: 20071002 05:46:07 PM" I checked different photos ... They all had different FILE MODIFIED dates. These dates were/are the old creation dates! My prayers were answered: THANK YOU SAINT RITA!
But now I am really stumped! This File Modified Date seems to be some kind of external metadata that is indexed or keyed to each image. How is this metadata stored in the iPhoto library? How can I access this File Modified date? I now turn to you GREAT iPhoto WIZARDS. Pray tell, how can I set the “Creation Date to the file Modified Date” that appears in the Photo Info Window as a (scriptable?) batch process.
I am on my knees for this one...please help. we have iphoto11 but afraid to upgrade to it. until i know more i don't want to loose this Modified Date metadata.

thanks for the quick response...
no simple solution because no backup to restore from
iPhoto seems to be using file metadata as some sort of index key in the
Photo Info Window. open up the iphoto library package and take a look at
the .xml file -- ModDate is used everywhere. hoping to export this data and merge/join it to
each image.
still trying to figure it out.
thanks,
Tom

Blocking long text change if open PR and open PO found for material

Dear SAP MM Gurus,
Our client is having one requirement. Their requirement is like this,
If there is any open PR, PO, contract etc. for a material , system should not allow to change the long text of the material.
Is there any way out. Any user exit or BADi, which will trigger on the long text change of material master then please let me know.
Thanking you.

Batch status change with UD

Hi Everybody,
I have a question about batch status change while taking UD. I understand that stock posting and batch status for each UD code is decided by the value in 'Posting proposal UD' field in Selected Set settings. I understand that I can customize the movement types for the values (eg VMENGE01, VMENGE02 etc) in config. But that is only for stock posting. From what setting is the Batch status decided eg. If we approve, the batch is unrestricted and if we reject it is restricted.
Can I customize those values which are available in the drop down in the 'Posting proposal UD' ? Can I create a value of my own ?
Regards,
Manish Saraswat

Manish,
execute tcode QS51
you will be able to see 'Posting Proposal UD' in "Selected Set ". Now select that line (Posting Proposal UD line). Status for Posting Proposal UD should be "Released"
After selecting that line on left hand side there is " Dialog Structure " in that there is " Selected Set Code " Click on that.
Complete list of code will come you can add and modify those codes.
Hope now its clear to you.

How to restrict header text changes in sales order level

Dear Experts,
how to restrict header text changes in sales order level change mode
thanks

Hello Chandu,
how to restrict header text changes in sales order level change mode
In order to restrict changes to Sales Order Header Text, the appropriate User Exit would be USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_TVCOM_H. With the help of ABAPer, you can include the simple logic on the basis of Header Text type such that whenever any changes are incurred on the Sales Order header text, updates would be prevented.
Please try out this approach and let us know your latest observation on this issue.

[svn:fx-trunk] 10075: Cleanups from the spark text changes and some bug fixes for VideoElement.

Log Message:
Cleanups from the spark text changes and some bug fixes for VideoElement. Also some PARB changes for UIComponent.
TitleBar: Changing the skin part type from Label to Textbase
UIComponent: skipMeasure()->canSkipMeasurement() to be in line with GraphicElement. This has been PARB approved.
UIComponent: same with hasComplexLayoutMatrix...this replaces hasDeltaIdentityTransform. This has been PARB approved.
StyleProtoChain: cleanup around what interfaces to use
TextBase: clean up code that?\226?\128?\153s no longer needed.
VideoElement: Fixing 4 bugs:
SDK-22824: sourceLastPlayed keeps track of what video file we?\226?\128?\153ve called play() with last. This way if a user pauses the video and wants to start it up again at the same point, we can call play(null) on the underlying FLVPlayback videoPlayer. However, anytime the souce changes, we want to null out sourceLastPlayed. This was causing a bug when someone set the source to null and then reset it to it?\226?\128?\153s previous value.
SDK-23034 (GUMBO_PRIORITY): This deals with some FLVPlayback quirks around sizing. I had put in a fix so we weren?\226?\128?\153t setting width/height on the underlying videoPlayer too many times, but apparently we need to make sure it always gets called once. Hopefully when switching to Strobe we can cleanup this logic...I put a FIXME in to do this.
SDK-21947/ SDK-22533 - some video files don?\226?\128?\153t always send out a metadata event. I?\226?\128?\153m not quite sure why this is, but in case this happens, we do a check in the ready handler to see whether we should call invalidateSize() to make sure it gets sized properly.

Help! Batch Capture Changes My Logged Clips' Media Start & Media End

I'd be very grateful for any help on this.
I log a tape with about 40 clips ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. I select the clips and start a batch capture. Everything appears to be capturing normally and I receive no error messages or dropped frame warnings - after my last clip is captured I get a "Successfully Captured" message.
However, as soon as I click "Finished," all of my clip media start's, media end's, and durations in the log window arbitrarily change to weird times. All my media start points are 26 frames too early (I've tripple-checked that "Add Handles" is indeed deactivated), and the media end points make no sense at all.
A clip that was once 44 seconds long is now only 12 seconds long, the media end point moved a whopping 34:03 too early. Another clip will become 2 seconds longer, the media start point still shifted back 26 frames, but with the media end now 31 frames too late. Checking the original files on my drive confirms that only these weird, unusable segments are what has been captured.
What complicates things is that I just discovered today that if I capture locally to my internal hard disk, the clips capture normally (the times remain unchanged). But if I set my capture scratch to my external hard drive (a LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5 using Firewire-800), that's when the clips start changing themselves. I ran disk utility and found no errors on the drive, and have never had a problem with it or any part of my configuration until the last month or so... the only changes to my system being the regular use of Software Update.
On top of that, my colleague is experiencing a similar problem with batch capture changing his clip times, even though he is using a different computer (single-processor G5), a different video deck (Sony DHR-1000), and a different storage medium (Apple Xserve RAID).
So my question is: What is happening! The only thing I can think of is that perhaps some update has a bug - but I can't find anyone with a similar problem online.
Any help on this would be extremely appreciated! Thank you in advance for your advice.
Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Deck: JVC CU-VH1 / Storage: LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5
Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Here's an update on this. Both my colleague and I have confirmed that if we capture to an internal or external drive that is not a RAID FCPro batch captures just fine.
But, if the drive we are capturing to is a RAID (in my case a LaCie Biggest F800 and his case an Apple Xserve), then we get dropped frame reports and/or clip in's and out's changing after the batch capture is complete.
We even tried reformatting one of the xServe's and rebuilding it as non-journaled, it didn't solve the problem.
It seems impossible that we're the only ones to be experiencing this problem... does anybody have any help or suggestions!?

Splitting events after batch date change causes event to disappear

Hi all,
The basic (repeatable) scenario is this:
o I scan in a bunch of old pictures I want to keep in iPhoto (lets say 10)
o I import them into iphoto (no problems with import) 1 event with 10 pictures is created.
o I then take a specific set of 4 photos and split them out of the main event into a new event (everything still ok) - 2 events, 4 and 6 events respectively.
o I open the new event and do a batch date change on the 4 pictures, changing the date to the correct date of the picture
o I exit the event expecting it to move up in the list of events (I sort by date). It's gone! iPhoto lists the 1 new event and its 6 photos
o I change my sort (by time, by name, etc) and still not there.
o I find my library in finder, open the package, and the files are still there.
o I go back to iPhoto and click on "Photos". Walla! 10 pictures!
o I undo the data change and they show up again in events - 2 new events, 10 total pictures.
I've already done all the obvious checks (are you sorting by date, look up by even name, search by file name through all events etc.) I've talked with a product specialist and they said the standard "rebuild the library" which did not resolve the issue.
I can repeat this until the cows come home in the existing library. I've created a brand new library and it does not repeat, do there is something in my library not right. But I don't buy the standard "redo your library from scratch" (36K pictures, 50 faces and hundreds of places). Just like with faces, you can discard the db files, there must be something besides "rebuild automatically and if that doesn't work sorry start over". Was iPhoto coded in Redmond?
Has anyone had anything similar to this? I looked through the forums and couldn't see anything. If I have to rebuild this, I am done with iPhoto after having to rebuild due to faces too many times, and my question changes to what are folks recommendations for a more stable photo management software suite?
Thanks!
HOTG

If the problem doesn't repeat in another Library then obviously the issue is with that library.
As you've tried the basic rebuild: 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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
The obvious solution is to restore a good version from your back up and, er, Walla! as you say yourself.
Next least destructive option: Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

Is there an inexpensive Adobe product that can make small text changes in an InDesign document?

I run a small nonprofit where one of our staffers uses InDesign to design our documents. I often make small text changes and would rather not have to run them through her all the time. Is there any inexpensive Adobe product that would met me make these small changes, since I don't need the full Creative Suite (or even full InDesign) capabilities?

You say that you want an Adobe product, but you may not be aware that
there are other products that may work for you as well, in particular
DocsFlow or WordFlow (EmSoftware -- no affiliation to me!)
This would allow your designer to export the story to Word or GoogleDocs
where you make your changes -- and he or she then simply updates the
document in InDesign with the press of a button.
Worth looking into.

Batch date change problem in iPhoto

I have hundreds of printed photos I scanned in 2009. Even though they were taken over three decades iPhoto thinks they were all taken in 2009. I separated them into years, numbered them, and put them in folders which became events. I tried using batch date change -- the first one in the event is OK, but the others changed all different. Example: I changed picture one, in event folder "1999" from 3/5/2009 to 1/1/1999. All of the rest of the pictures changed to the same time difference that they were when I scanned them. I didn't scan them all in chronological order, so that doesn't help at all. Do I have to manually change each of my 9000 photos? This is a problem when I try to show a chronological slide show on Apple TV.

Scanned photos do not have an EXIF Capture Date field in the file like photos taken with a digital camera do. Therefore iPhoto uses the file created date or import date for those photos.
You will have to group all 1999 photos into an album, arrange them in the order you want and then use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and add a 1 minute or so between photos.
Then do the same for the next year's photos.

Batch date change corrupts the dates

I need some help with the batch name change in iPhoto. I recently tried to change some dates of an entire event to 12/25/2008. Once the batch change was done, the dates all appear as a corrupted year of 12/09/-2007 with the line in them. They then disappear completely from the event and can only be found on the photo section.
I have tried the adjust date and time and I have tried rebuilding the library and transferring photos to new libraries, but get the same error.
thanks,

Close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
Happy New Year
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

On text change trigger in oracle forms 9

I want to simulate on-text-change trigger similar to the one present in java and other programming languages.
I need this trigger to be invoked when ever we change some text in the textfield.
Is there any way to do this?
I used two text fields to compare the last entered and newly typed based on a timer interval of 3secs
But my problem is Oracle trims the spaces present in the textfield and also highlights the text present in textfield when ever I enter a space....
Scenario : I want to use this trigger and refresh the search results based on the text present in the textfield.
Thanks in advance

To do the kind of thing you are talking about you will need to implment a Java Bean in your form listen for the changes. Take a look at KeyEvent Java Bean or the Oracle Forms PJCs-Java Beans web site for more information and examples.
Hope this helps,

Detect purchase requisition item text changes

Hi Abap Gurus,
During a PR modification (ME52N), I need to read the purchase requisition item text at runtime to compare with the stored item text (read text) and detect if it have changes.
Actually, I am using the badi ME_REQ_POSTED.
How could I detect the PR item text changes? or How could I read the item text at runtime.
Somebody could help me with this....
Other ideas will be welcome.....

Jaya Sankar.M

Hi,
But can you change the purchase requisition item text using the badi?
