Bridge script could not read PSD file metadata reliably

I'm trying to read metadata (specifically, xmp.CreateDate and tiff.DateTime) of a bunch of PSD files using a loop. Bridge script seems able to read most of them but always fails to read some (returns empty strings), though not necessarily any particular ones. That is, if I run multiple times, it fails on different files. Basically, it's just not reliable. Is there a solution for this? Please help. Thanks.

Hi skc_chat,

ERROR:Could not read archive file - during Processing Base System Part 2

Hi there,
What I have:
* I have problem with installation of the Mac OS X Panther v10.3 on iMac.
* I have 3 original CDs (black with silver X).
What I did:
* I made new 1 partition and formated disk as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) over the Disk Utility in the first CD as normal without additional options (if I tried to format disk with zero all data and 8 way random write format after 3 days computer freeze)
* I verified disk over this utility - that was ok - HFS volume verifed.
* Then I restarted the computer and ran installation from this first CD
What happened:
* installation did not finish, because there were some problems during installation process.
* i tried to customize installation just for essential work (without other languages support, printers etc), but it was still the same problem

It seems like a problem with reading some data from the CD, but during the installation checking of disk was ok.. maybe it can be problem with the cd-rom..? Or problem with data on cd-rom - I mean bad archive file..? But it is original CD.. What do you think??
Thank you!

I keep getting this error when trying to open some of my illustrator files. Usually after trying 5 or 6 time it will mysteriously open without a problem. I've reinstalled Illustrator and that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 and that didn't work.
Why does it sometimes open and sometimes not???
I've lost I don't know how many hours screwing around with this and REALLY pissing me off!!!
AURGH!

I think this has something to do with the PNG plugin.

Whenever i try to download a rather large file i continue to get the "could not read source file" error. Tried new profile, uninstalling and looking for the compreg.dat file to delete nothing is working. Please help

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.

I cannot open some files from Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.

Eliana,
If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

Simple Bridge script will not read metadata and triggers Adobe Stock Photos

I have been trying to learn to write scripts for bridge but can't get past the most basic tasks. When I run the script on an open window in bridge it throws an "Uncaught exception metadata" error. The most bizarre thing is it sometimes causes an Adobe Stock Photo script to launch in the extendscript toolkit and throw and the "Uncaught exception metadata" error in that script. My script is as follows:
#target "bridge"
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge")
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails
for (i=0; i< items.length; i++)
item = items[i]
md=item.metadata
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
Window.alert(md.Title)
Window.alert(i + " "+ " Files Finished")
Basically I was asking to extract the title of each thumbnail from the metadata and show it in a window. I figured if I could do something as basic as that then I could move on and tackle the more complicated tasks that I need to do.
Any ideas of what is going on? Has anyone else accidentally triggered Adobe Stock Photos?

Another bit of info.... As I looked at this further, it seems to be occuring only on those photos where I previously ran camera raw from CS3. I've upgraded to CS5 but have not rerun camera raw since. I understand the camera raw engine in CS3 was different. Could this be involved? Could Lightroom be changing the metadata because the engine is updating the information and I have to save TO file to get this to synch?
update about this camera raw engine possibilty..... it would not appear to be the answer. I have some files that synch even tho lightroom develop says they are using the 2003 process version. I have some files that are on the new version that won't synch.

Image processor [in Script menu] not recognizing PSD files?

I've been using PS since CS. I still keep a copy of CS2 on a computer simply for the Script -> Image Processor. Since CS5, the processor no longer recognizes many files. These same files will batch process with no problem in CS2. Anybody figure out why the processor has recognition issues? Thanks for any help.

File names are visible using the "select folder" button, directing the script to locate the files to be batched. When selecting the folder, you will see the files within the folder in the adjacent tab [windows or mac]. CS5 put a limit of 8 [if I remember correctly] characters on the processing script. Additionally, some symbols which are permissible in other file naming protocols, no longer worked.
The experience is wide spread among heavy users of this batch tool. I have seen many "google" searches on the subject...which is how I identified the naming issue in CS5. The issue exists with JPG and PSD files; Adobe RGG and, sRGB; each processed from RAW or other JPG/PSD files. I simply cannot determine why one set of files work, and another will not, yet all will work on older versions of PS.
Once again, these same files causing issue, will process without issue on a CS2 version I keep for just such occurrences. I've been using the batch image processor since CS to apply actions to folders of files.

CS4 error message: Could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand the file

I get the error message in the subject line of this thread when I try to open a AI file in CS4. The file in question is a master plan for a river parkway. It includes a TIF of an aerial image of the project site (created from a SID file) with Illustrator generated linework for the various trails and other master plan features. Illustrator attempts to open the file, which appears for a brief time but without the aerial image TIF background visible (only the Illustrator linework and text is visible), then this message pops up, I click OK and the file closes and I'm put back at the opening screen.
I am running Windows 7 Pro (32-bit). My colleague created this file on his computer (same OS and programs as my computer) and he can open it fine. He did have this same issue for a bit, but then ran Updates under the Help menu and this seems to have fixed his problem. Before then, he had been re-starting his computer and having only Illustrator open, and was successful in getting the file to open.
I ran the updates yesterday and am up to date but the problem persists.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Sam,
This is an issue that has plagued Illustrator CS4 since it's release. The problem is a memory issue. Adobe has never addressed it satisfactorily and likely won't since CS5 has now been released for almost a year now - tho I've read somewhere that CS5 has the same issue. On their site, Adobe has made a few weak mentions about it and has posted a hit-or-miss workaround, but their explanation kinda sounds like B.S., really and it's fairly apparent they're not sure what's going on and likely it's a compound problem and the result of a few different issues. They talk about some bug with color books between Photoshop and Illustrator, but that's DEFINITELY NOT the whole problem.
Here's a solution, tho it's certainly not perfect and will not always work:
1. Start a clean instance of Illustrator - DO NOT LOAD ANY FILES EXCEPT YOUR TARGET FILE, and
DO NOT HAVE RUNNING OR LOAD ANY OTHER FILES DURING THE WORK SESSION.
2. Find a good free memory manager that will allow you to free up memory with the click of a button, such as CLEANMEM - Google it - it's free.
3. Free up memory before you start Illustrator and, if the file opens, after you get the file loaded.
4. While you'll be able to work with the file, save it; manipulate and create new vector objects within the file, likely you will not be able to add additional linked files.
In the past, the times that I've had this issue have been when working with really large files and large linked graphics - like convention display graphics. The issue just gobbles up, or limits memory allocation. Good Luck!

I have CS6 and Bridge... I bought new camera Canon 70d and the Photoshop and Bridge could not read my files....

So I downloaded new version of Camera Raw and now everythibg crasheh - camera raw dissapeared and i can not do anything... Please help!

I'm no expert but,
I think you need "extended" version of CS6 to get 3D (3D included in CC)
and a suitable graphics card to display it
CC 3D is easier to use too.

Could not read Log4j configuration file when I run jar file

Hi,
I'm using Log4J in my application..
I configure the log4j, as follows;
PropertyConfigurator.configure("properties/logging.properties");and then go on to use it.
The .properties is in the root when I jar my source. I use Ant to Jar the file. It all works good when I run the jar file from ant.
The problem is when I run the jar file by double clicking on it, I get an error
" Could not read configuration file [properties/logging.properties]."
I tried the following options;
PropertyConfigurator.configure("/logging.properties");
PropertyConfigurator.configure("./logging.properties");
PropertyConfigurator.configure("../logging.properties");But in all cases, I get corresponding errors on running the jar file through Ant:
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [logging.properties].
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [./logging.properties].
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [../logging.properties].
I want to be able to run the Jar by double clicking on it or through Ant.. Would any one know how to fix this issue so that I can use both methods..

Keep your properties file inside the root folder of your application.It is working fine

Hi Andreas,
I've changed the permissions to 775 and changed the ownership of /sapcd (volume name) to orasid:dba (including all files within the staging area /sapcd/ora-patch).
So the permissions and ownership seems to be fine.
I've also ran your suggested commands but the issue still exists.
I'm now liasing with our UNIX guy to check if there is any underlying permission issues on the volume (sapcd) that may be causing this problem.
In the mean time, let me know if you have any further thoughts.
Thanks,
Chris

File Import error: Could not read from source (OS X 10.8.2)

I am having this time-wasting problem on a new Creative Cloud CS6 installation. I queue my Premiere exports normally on AME (CS6 updated versions), and they work fine if I start them right away. If the Mac is restarted however, they will fail giving this error. The log shows "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted". It looks for the source file at /Users/Username/Library/Caches/Temporary/projectname.prproj. Isn't AME supposed to hold the queue even after a shutdown/restart? Premiere has been uninstalled and reinstalled once, so maybe that's the cause of it? Thanks.

Unfortunately, it looks like you've found a bug, an unplanned interaction between Premiere Pro's choice of temp directory and automatic OS behaviors.
Jeff is correct, AME will hold the Queue between reboots. The problem is with the temporary project that Premiere creates.
When you queue a sequence to AME from within Premiere (File > Export > Media, click the Queue button), Premiere creates a copy of the project in that temp directory. That is the file reference it sends to AME.
The problem is that Mac OS appears to flush that directory on reboot. Thus, when you reopen AME, it can't find the file anymore.
The bug is therefore that Premiere Pro is putting the file in a place where it can be deleted before being used. Sorry about that. I'll file the bug.
You can work around the problem using a different method to add your sequence to the AME queue. Inside AME, use the File > Add command. You can also drag and drop the sequence icon from the Project panel in Premiere to the Queue panel in AME. Or you can just not reboot until you've rendered what's in the queue.
I suppose it's possible that you could make Mac OS not flush the temp directory on reboot. There's a lot of fun things you can do in Terminal if you know the right commands. That's beyond my personal skillset.

i have tried creaeted a NEW Premiere Pro project and still get the same error again ... can someone help me to figure out what is wrong ...

Hi Neil
I have been using file names with spaces and it has been working fine. As stated in reply to Jones, uninstall and reinstall of Premiere Pro CS4 has helped to get rid of this error.
also i did not use Dynamic link, but was trying to create MPEG file using Media Encoder and then import it in Encore.
your suggestion for H264 seems good and will try it.
x264 Pro is for CS5 and above versions, so it seems i can not use it and have to manage with Adobe Media Encoder's default. Hope i will not have any major technical issues.
please suggest me for below:-
1) i have 4 hours of Full HD footage and made 1080i MPEG2 files of 30mbps to fit in 2 seperate Bluray Disks.
2) now i plan to put all in one Single Bluray Disk by reducing MPEG2 file average data rate to 15mbps. will that work or is there any limitation of time in Bluray Disk.
3) Will it be ok to create H264 files at 30mbps [as you mentioned H264 reduces file size to half of MPEG] and still be able to fit 4 hours footage in one BR Disk ?
4) even though i specify Min 10 Target 25 Max 30 data rate for MPEG files creation, it creats file at data rate of 30 mbps, can you explain why it is happening as i thought my target rate should be 25 mbps and not the maximum rate specified.
Thanks ...
PS...
my source file is .mov 1920 x 1080i 29.97 fps from Canon 6D. first i tried to create progressive file in Encoder but while imported in Encore realised at 29.97 fps, it allows only interlaced file and had to transcode back to interlaced. so i stick to interlaced file.
Canon 6D also allows me to shoot in 24fps [motion movie] which Encore can handle as progressive file for authoring. What are the pro and cons of shooting in 24fps, if you can suggest.

Adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'

since adobe reader 10.1.2 urls don't work in pdf files to folders.
C:\WINDOWS\xy.xls
ok
C:\WINDOWS
not ok > adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'
C:\WINDOWS
ok > with deactivated protected mode
no problems with 9.5.0 or 10.1.1 with activated protected mode
is that known? any other workaround?
thanks

Hi,
I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.
