Can I filter on metadata?

I'd like to create a filter that shows all files where the "Camera Data (Exif)" field named "Date Time Original" is blank (or missing). I have many files (jpgs) that were created by scanning that don't have a "Date Time Original".
Thanks.

Thanks Curt.
In the Windows file explorer, the Date Created is the date the file was physcially created and the Date Taken is the Exif date (that matches Bridge's Date Time Original in the Exif) that is stamped by the camera. If you copy and paste a file in Windows, the Date Created is updated (because that file was just created) and the Date Taken (aka Date Time Original in the Exif) is unchanged.
Bridge does let me Search based on Date Created, but since Windows changes this as I move files, that isn't much help. Windows also lets me sort based on Date Taken (aka Date Time Original), but Bridge won't filter based on that field.
What a jumble...

Can I sort on metadata?

I just posted a message asking about filtering on metadata, but I didn't want to confuse that thread with this second question:
Can I sort on metadata? For example, can I sort on "Date Time Original"?
I know I can sort on "Date Created," but that's not the same thing as the metadata's "Date Time Original" field. E.g., I have jpg files where the "Date Time Original" is in 1990 but the Date Created is in 2012. Sorting on Date Created doesn't order the files chronologically based on when the photo was taken.
Thanks.

To me it seems Date Time Original in Exif data from camera equals the Date Created from IPTC. This makes also some sense because exif is created using the Camera software and when you have set the date and time correctly this reflects the moment the file was created.
When using images that don't have its origin in a camera able to provide exif (analog camera or scanner etc.) you have to provide this data yourself and fill in the right places. I don't know if you were able to add this in the filed Date Time Created in an earlier version of PS file info using CS6 I can't find an editable field in the file info that is called 'Data Time Original', only date created is available.
Hence Bridge (although the options for filter and sort could be somewhat expanded) will not likely provide this option in future versions but you can always put a Feature Request for this, but if only 1 or a few people have the need for this it is not very likely to get realized I'm afraid.
So your only chance might be a script that reads your metadata and for example replaces the 'date created' data with the 'Date Time Original' data if this is in the metadata written.
You could try the dedicated Adobe Bridge Scripting Forum for this, their are some very helpful people in there:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_scripting
And make sure backing up the files before trying to alter them, if it screws things up you always have the originals to refer to.
Also a small tip that won't help you now but can do in the future. Think of a proper naming convention of your files and stick to it. Personal I rename all my files with first "YYYYMMDD" and then a short subject description followed by a sequence number for series of that same subject.
This will place your files always in a natural sort order for date. And when scanning pre digital files create a template for the metadata in Bridge with your common copyright info and use the IPTC core fields to immediately fill in the important fields like description, keywords, place and date created. You can select multiple files and use this template to ad the info in one go.

Can not filter the data with the extended class

Hi,
I have a quick question about PortableObject format. I have created a class which extends PortableObject interface and implemented serializer methods as well. I have updated it in the pof-config.xml file as well. If I insert the objects of this type of object in the cache, they get inserted properly and I can filter the values based on the getters defined in the class. Everything works fine here.
Now, I am trying to extend the existing class that I have. We have our custom API which we have built for our domain objects. I need to store these objects in the cache. So, naturally I need to implement PortableObject interface to do that. So, instead of creating a new class with new set of getters and setters and local fields, I am extending our domain class to create a new class which implements PortableObject interface. Instead of defining the local fields and getters and setters i am reusing the ones provided by my existing class. Now, I can insert the objects of the new class to the cache. But I can not filter the values for the objects of this new class.
Let me show you what exactly I am trying to achieve by giving a small example:
Domain Class:
class Person
private String person_name;
*public String getPerson_name() {return person_name;}*
*public String setPerson_name(person_name) {this.person_name = person_name;}*
The new class implementing PortableObject interface:
class ExtPerson extends Person implements PortableObject
public static final PERSON_NAME = 0;
*public void readExternal(PofReader reader) throws IOException{*
setPerson_name(reader.readString(PERSON_NAME));
*public void writeExternal(PofWriter writer) throws IOException{*
writer.writeString(PERSON_NAME, getPerson_name());
*// And HashCode, Equals and ToString methods, all implemented using the getter from the Person class*
So, if I create a new class ExtPerson without extending the Person class and write all the methods, store the objects in the cache and perform the following query, I get the size printed
System.out.println((cache.entrySet(new EqualsFilter("getPerson_name","ABC"))).size());
But if I use the extended class and insert the values into the cache and if I use the same query to filter, I get 0 printed on the console.
System.out.println((cache.entrySet(new EqualsFilter("getPerson_name","ABC"))).size());
So, can anyone tell what exactly is causing this?
Thanks!

Well, just a quick question. It seems that I can not get ContainsAnyFilter or ContainsAllFilter working.
EqualsFilter is actually working properly.
I am preparing a Set of Strings and passing it to ContainsAnyFilter or ContainsAllFilter and it is returning me 0 records.
E.g.:
Set<String> setStr = new HashSet<String>();
setStr.add("ABC");
setStr.add("DEF");
System.out.println((cache2.entrySet(new ContainsAnyFilter("getPerson_name", setStr))).size());
I get 0 in my output
If I try this:
System.out.println((cache.entrySet(new EqualsFilter("getPerson_name","ABC"))).size());
System.out.println((cache.entrySet(new EqualsFilter("getPerson_name","DEF"))).size());
I get 1 for each of the query.
If I club all these EqualsFilter in a Filter[] array and create an AnyFilter or AllFilter and pass it to the query, it works fine.
List<Object> lst = new ArrayList<Object>();
          lst.add("ABC");
          lst.add("DEF");
Filter[] filter = new Filter[lst.size()];
     for(int i=0;i<lst.size();i++)
          filter[i] = new EqualsFilter("getPerson_name",lst.get(i).toString());
AnyFilter fil = new AnyFilter(filter);
System.out.println((cache4.entrySet(fil)).size());
I get the desired result here, which is 2.
Am I missing something here?

I keep getting exact duplicate songs in playlists and libraries, how can you filter this out when upgrading these lists, or sync to the same device again? And how to do it without going through each and every P'list or Library ?

I have Windows XP-Pro SP3, the latest upgrades of Three media players, iTunes being the default player. I keep getting duplicates in playlists, libraries etc., of the same version of song. Everytime i make a change or renew my media to device or SYNC it wants to add duplicates to the computer disk, lists etc. Can you filter out same copies without having to edit each and every song, which in my case is quite large. For instance if you want to convert all mpeg, or mp4-a files to AAC you will end up with duplicates of each file type. Or you sync to an ipod, the library adds to itself---- including copies of songs already in it, if in a different file version.

Your refer to:
" if you want to convert all mpeg, or mp4-a files to AAC "
This will always duplicate files within iTunes. I need to ask why you're doing this conversion - all formats are compatible with iTunes, and conversion between mp3 and AAC will always involve some loss of quality.

Can I filter the table being profiled in the Data Profiling task, or know of a work around? SSIS2008r2

Hi,
I import several files into a staging table. Inside a foreach loop, after the data flow task I have a Data Profiling task that profiles the table so we can give feedback to those who sent us the file.
I just relalized that after the first loop, there is more than one file in the staging table, hence more than one file is being profiled.
At first glance it doesnt appear I can add a "Where" clause to the table. I do have a column that states which file the data came from, but with only being able to profile a view or table, I can't filter.
Anyone have any ideas?
Mike

Catching outliers seeing how much of what kind of data exist, deviations, distribution, you get some sort of a historgram in essence with the Data Profiling.
It is normally a preamble to doing data ingress (or egress) into a new target.
Now patterns are in Fuzzy Lookups/matching or grouping. Having RegEx used is hard in SSIS! I admit, I proposed to have it included into SSIS VNext. I remember there was a component or two on CodePlex:
http://ssisctc.codeplex.com/ see if any makes sense, I recall I tried one just out for fun.

How can I filter a table from Data Control without enter query

I have a table from a web service data control based on WSDL.
I want to filter the table without input query at filter text box. Without filter text box, each would filter the table with a hardcoded query internally.
For example, when user click A menu button then it filters the table where type = '1' and B menu button filters the table by type='2' and C menu button filters the table by type=' ' .
How can I filter the table without enter query?
Could anyone point me to a solution please.
Thanks.

Hi,
when you created the table, did you try selecting the "filter" option. Select the table and go to the Property Inspctor. In the tool bar of the Property Inspector there is an icon to change the configuration. Its adding filter filter fields for the user to search in.
Option 2: The data of the Web Service actually is held in the iterators. If you wanted to filter the WebService query, I would not use the WS DC but a JAX-WS proxy in a POJO to fetch the WS Data. Then have the Data Control created from the POJO. You could have a method exposed on the POJO that allows you to filter the internally held data

Acrobat X Standard User: How can I view PDF metadata from a folder level?

Hello All,
This is my first post to this community. I would not be surprised if the answer to my question can be found in a simple search or tutorial. However, I assure you that I have been searching, clicking, reading and even attempting to install new software all morning and have only succeeded in further confusing myself.
I'm running Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Windows 7 machine. My job includes the management of legal documents of conveyance. All conveyance instruments have a set of unique identifiers such as the county where the deed was filed, the book and page where it is filed, the type of instrument, and the date it was filed. Historically I have tried to jam all of this information and more into the file name of a pdf. For example: "105_Bk109-Pg188_Assignment_05251950" is the name of a file that I have open right now that indicates an Assignment filed in Crockett County, Texas (code 105) at Book 109, Page 188 and recorded on May 25, 1950. I typically work in folders that contain around a hundred similar documents with all of the fields I have described varying. My objective is to begin moving this information into the metadata or properties of the individual PDFs AND then be able to view those fields in Windows Explorer from the folder level. As I understand it, this is not possible. When I began searching for an alternative solution, I found several references to Adobe Bridge and attempted to install it. The installation failed, but more importantly I am not interested in becoming a CC user as I don't feel like it is necessary for what I am trying to accomplish. I'm not working with HD photos or video.
So my question is this: Is there a way (that doesn't involve purchasing and learning Adobe Bridge) that I can modify the attributes/metadata/properties of a pdf, and then see the modifications in a folder viewer without opening the pdf? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for responding. I suspected that my understanding of metadata was incomplete or inaccurate. As I understand it, the metadata for any given pdf can be found by first opening the pdf; clicking File -> Properties, which opens a dialog box titled "Document Properties". The first tab in the dialog box is "Description" and includes the fields File, Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords. The values for these fields are what I'm referring to as metadata. Additionally, from the Document Properties dialog box, clicking on the "Custom" tab allows you to create custom properties and values, which I also considered to be metadata. I have manipulated these fields for a certain pdf as shown in the two screenshots below:
After making this changes, I saved the pdf and closed it. I then navigated to the folder where the pdf is stored using Windows Explorer. As you can in the following screen shot of WE, that the pdf I have made the changes to is the first in the list. The Windows Explorer columns include: Title, Pages, Author, and Subjects, but their values are all blank and fail to show what I have assigned them in the PDF properties (or what I thought was metadata). As for my custom fields, Windows does not give me any kind of option to display those. Windows inability to display something as simple as the number of pages in the PDF is completely baffling to me.
My objective is to be able to modify the standard document properties of a PDF with usable information, those being Title , Author, Subject, and Keywords. I would also like to be able to create the custom properties with additional useful information. I would then like to be able to use a file manager, to view the contents of a folder full of pdfs, similar to the screenshot above, and see the properties and custom field values that i have assigned to the pdfs in columns of the list of pdfs. Windows Explorer is the only file manager I have ever used. It's possible that the solution to my problem could be as simple as changing file managers. It may be that what I'm after is not possible at. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers within a postcode range. How do you do this? Thanks.

Hey RP in Oz,
You can run a contacts report and select 'Default Address Type' as an 'Address Details Field' which will include the zip code a customer has inputted. You can then export the report, open it up in Excel (or similar) and filter based on the postcode. Once you have modified the list in excel, formatted it correctly and are satisfied, you can then import the report as a mailing list via E-Mail Marketing > Mailing Lists.

Hi flegno,
Depending on which version that Firefox is on, currently in the Simulator is looks like there is only a way to pin the apps that result in a searched category. Searching for people in contacts who have a particular app installed does not seem to be an option? However I cannot know for sure.

How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses

How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses??
TIA
C

Most email clients have a provision to create a 'rule'. The rule examines the email as it is received. In generally you can search for specifically senders, recipients,subjects, or specific content words in the body. Based upon the findings of the rule, you can do something with the email (such as end it directly to the Trash).
For example if you know where all of valid you emails come from, you can create a rule that checks the from field for an acceptable sender and sends those email's that to the inbox, while sending all emails from other senders to the trash or spam folder
Keeping out foreign language emails is often difficult because because often it is difficult to come up with a rule that will catch them on the basis of language they are written in.
There are also commercial products that can scan incoming email and 'score' the email based upon content, and you decide at what 'score' you want the mail sent straight to the trash or spam folder. Verizon's spam filter does this based upon Verizon's scoring system, and actually does catch a lot of spam. It also occaisonally catches things that are not spam however....
Hope that is helpful

Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to find a way to divide events into two lists, "forthcoming" and "past events" which will automatically work without too much work for my client. If I set an event to "expired" is it still in the database and if so, can I list all expired events?

Can I filter by value which is not displayed in grid columns?

In excel it is possible to filter by value of measure which is not displayed in the report.
How can I possibly do this in Performance Point Grid? (in filter by value there I only see the measures in columns).
Please advise
Namnami

I found it is possible to filter by value by changing the MDX in the query tab.
(I filtered by certain existing value in design, then switched to Query and changed to the measure which is not displayed). I shows up correctly.
The problem is, once I change the query, I get an error when tring to connect a filter on a grid column:
"consumer parameter no-longer exists in the consumer webpart"
The grid looks "frozen"- cannot drill up / down etc.
How can I filter by value which is not displayed without loosing the ability to attach a filter to the grid?

How can I filter alerts shown in the Server app?

That's about as surprising as finding that water is wet, so I'd like not to see those alerts. I don't want to turn off the email filtering, I just want don't want to hear about this one kind of event.
How can I filter the alerts in general or this one in particular?

Hi ephraimephraim
I dont know if you found a solutions, but I hit the same problem so here is what I worked out...
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Server/Mail/Config/amavisd
In there you will find a file called amavisd.conf
Make a backup copy of this just incase! Now open the file using TextWrangler (its free from here http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.html).
Now scroll down to line 119 and it will look like this:
#$virus_admin              = "[email protected]"; # notifications recip.
#$spam_admin               = '[email protected]';
#$spam_quarantine_to       = '[email protected]';
#$banned_quarantine_to      = '[email protected]';
#$virus_quarantine_to      = '[email protected]';
What I waneted to do was stop the useless "Virus detected in inbound email" emails and just send a copy of the emails to one account that I could keep an eye on, so this is what I did.
First deside on a alias to use, such as [email protected],
Now you can insert that like this virus-admin\@$mydomain its relly is important to add the \@$mydomain this resolves up the top of the file so it should now look like this
#$virus_admin              = "virus-admin\@$mydomain"; # notifications recip.
#$spam_admin               = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
#$spam_quarantine_to       = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
#$banned_quarantine_to      = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
#$virus_quarantine_to      = 'virus-admin\@$mydomain';
now delete the # notifications recip. after the virus_admin to stop the Virus Notifications, then I deleted the # before the spam_quarantine_to, banned_quarantine_to, virus_quarantine_to this "turns on" the line and then add # notifications recip. after them, so you should end up with
#$virus_admin              = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";
#$spam_admin               = "virus-admin\@$mydomain";
$spam_quarantine_to       = "virus-admin\@$mydomain"; # notifications recip.
$banned_quarantine_to      = "virus-admin\@$mydomain"; # notifications recip.
$virus_quarantine_to      = "virus-admin\@$mydomain"; # notifications recip.
Now just create a user on the server called virus-admin of add it as an alias using Workgroup Manger.
Hope this helps
