Changing file properties?

Can any changes to files in iPhoto or iTunes be made through Front Row?

No. There's no interface or options in Front Row to make any changes. I suppose the "play count" for songs in iTunes should get a count if they're played in Front Row. What kinds of changes are you thinking of?

How to change File Properties Creator

I'm using PSE 7.0 Organizer. When I change the date/time of my files, PSE assigns 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0' to the Creator in the File Properties.
How can I change this to a string of my chosing, such as ME. I'm am using right-click file > Adjust Date & Time of Selected Items... to set the date/time on images that I'm scanning from slides.When these images are scanned, there is no Exif data in the scanned file until I do this action. So this is the only way I know to get these to be sorted in the correct Date taken order.
Thanks,
John

You can't change the "Creator" tag under "File properties" in PSE7.
Anyhow the "Creator" Tag here represent the Application through which edition has been done on the image, it does not represent the Author.
If you want to add your name as a author to a image, you can do the same by opening the image with Photoshop Elements Editor and follow these steps:
1. Click on "File" menu and select "File Info".
2. Now in the "File Info" dialogue box, Select the Tab "IPTC" and enter your name against the Coloumn "Creator" or you can do the same by selecting tab "Description" and entering your name against the Column "Author".
3. Now Save the file.
Now open the same file in organizer again and look for the metadata properties of the image, Click on Radio button "View: Complete" to view complete metadat of the image. Now You can see your name against the "Author".
Hope It must have resolved your query.

Using Win 7, I cannot utilize the "Folder Options" "File Types" utility to add/change file properties

I am trying to use a batch file that worked perfectly on my WinXP system to create "shntool.txt" reports of my music files - usually .flac, and sometimes .shn - listing file time duration, size, etc.
When I try to copy the batch files onto my WinXP system, I get all sorts of error reports that prohibit me from generating those text files. This is an example of such a batch file ("shntool-flac.bat) that always worked in the past.
"cls
shntool len *.flac > C:\Burning\shntool.txt
:: cmg 4/18/2001
:: the syntax above uses the new parameter style,
:: previous ver was "shntool len -u mb *.shn".
:: alternately, you may use other params,
:: such as "shntool -len -mb -debug *.shn" for more info.
:: see "shntool -len -h" for specific help on the '-len' params.
pause
exit"
The error message includes "shntool: fork: No such file or directory
shntool [len: error: error while forking child process. see above"
I downloaded "FileTypesMan" which allowed me to make some changes in the file menus (e.g., "Enqueue in Winamp, Play in Winamp," but I CAN'T get "shntool-flace.bat" and "shnlen-flac.bat" to work for the reasons list
above.
I would be grateful for any assistance here. Thanks in advance.
Because I am new to this forum, please re-direct my question if this isn't the proper forum.

kglad,
Thanks for the suggestion but I have attempted this many times to no avail. As I said in my original post, "I have researched this problem on this forum and the Adobe site and believe that I have tried everything over the past week."
It is very late here (I am in Greece). I will have a further attempt in the morning. The windows machine is hut down. Thanks for your help.

Changing a .properties file from within a programme

Hi, I was just wondering is there anyway that i can change a .properties file from within a programme?
I have certain values in the .properties file and I want to add a username and password to the file once it has been entered in a login part of the programme.
I have had a look at the docs and can not seem to find any suitable methods.
Cheers Gareth.

store is a good method.
In practical use, sometimes you have a .properties file full of comments (properties files are to be modified by humans, and humans need comments), but they are not retrieved by "load" so they will not be stored back by "store". It's a pity that it happens (the equivalent Windows API, WritePrivateProfileString, has a better behaviour).
Maybe someone has written a method that can modify a properties file, without changing the order of the pairs name=value and without throwing out comments.

Change the DMEE file properties

Hi Guys,
We need to make some changes to the DMEE file properties as below :
We need to make sure that FPAYH-DOC1R is listed in sorting at level 1.Actually the issue is that , even the payment exceptions are being captured in the DMEE file that is being downloaded.
We need to eliminate these exceptional items from being captured in the DMEE file that is getting downloaded. Actually , we are capturing the DMEE file after the payment proposal stage. At this stage, the exception items are being captured in the DMEE file which is not correct. We want to eliminate these exceptional items from the file.
Can you please suggest if this would eliminate the exception items from the file and also can you please let me know , where i can change the DMEE file properties.
Thanks for your suggestions .
Regards,
Srikanth .

Goto transaction DMEE, select your DME tree, goto DME Tree properties, goto tab "Sort/key fields".
Also check levels. Insert field DOC1R in Sort/key field at appropriate level (usually level 3).
Alternately you can also go to DMEE tree through FBZP. Select payment method in country and click on payment medium format setting, then DME Engine.

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

Visual Studio Projects Not Showing FileVesion Leading Zeroes in File Properties

I created a simple Visual Studio 2013 windows form application setting the AssemblyInfo.cs file as show below.
// You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers
// by using the '*' as shown below:
// [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0227")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0227")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("0.0.0.0227")]
I built the application and went to the Windows File Explorer and brought up the file properties. What I see is that the product version showing the leading zeros, but the file version field does not show the leading zeros.
It appears to be a bug either with Visual Studio or with Windows. Which one is it and is there a fix?

Hi Sarah,
We can't see the screenshot. Do you mean you use Windows Explorer to browse to the AssemblyInfo.cs file and check the property?
If you change the product version or the file version from the AssemblyInfo.cs file, you need to firstly rebuild the assembly, then if you go to the debug/release folder, check the property of the assembly file, the Details tab will show you the corresponding
changes of these properties. It's the assembly property but not the cs file property.

Windows File Properties vs. Content Services Properties

Hi.
On behalf of a customer I am evaluating Windows file properties vs. CS file properties.
Client Environment: Windows XP SP2, O-Drive.
Rightclick a File stored on O (O-Drive, Content Services).
a Props. Dialog shows up, the first tab is General*. It shows several file
properties among others the following:
- Last Access Date: This always shows Wed. 1 Jan 1986 00:00:00
Does this correspond to any content services file property? If so, why
is it always 1-jan-1986 00:00.00 and does not change? Is it a bug?
- Checkboxes Write protected* / Archive* / Hidden*
Do these correspond to any cs file property? Do these have any effect?
(I tried write protected, but it did not work as expected, I was able
to overwrite the file) Bug or Feature?
If these checkboxes do not work, could these be disabled through O-Drive,
otherwise users might get confused...
Regards, Tom
* (I don't know the exact english labels as I am working on a german client... so
I translated the german labels - sorry)

Hi. Sure, here's some collateral information:
We are evaluating Content Services for several customer projects.
During a presentation I held 2 weeks ago a customer asked exactly
those questions and I had to admit I could not answer.
So I retried on our test instance and checked the docu and still
could not get a clue how windows attributes and cs attributes correspond.
Then I asked MJS during last weeks workshop he did not know exactly either.
Hence I am asking on the forum.

Editing metadata in the file properties window

Hi,
I’m using Win XP SP3 on a “normal” Desktop-PC. Since my problem is not connected to hardware I think that description is enough but I do not know which software information is required. So you may ask. Important is maybe that I am running Adobe Acrobat and Reader simultaneously on the same machine.
The problem: I always changed and edited some of the metadata of my PDF files by bringing up the file properties window of the PDF (right click - properties). Next to the “General”-Tab is the “PDF”-Tab. You can see the title, author, topic, dates and PDF-Version of the document. The first four fields where always editable textboxes. I get used to put in some comments and other important information because I didn’t want to use any tool. Now the complete window is locked. Is this because of the new 9.3.3 Reader update? I updated so many times and never anything like this happened. How can I turn back to the old behavior?
I do not want to edit those information in Acrobat by choosing File and then propertis because it takes much more time because i have to open the file (if it is one its fine) but if there are more where the same info shall be in I'd like to use the built in function of the properties sheet in windows.
With kind regards

Thanks,
I just ran the Acrobat repair installation and I got the expected function back. In addition it does not matter any longer which icon I click (reader or acrobat) to open Acrobat. The reason for having both installed is just that I needed a "pdf viewer" from the first minute after having installed the OS and installing Acrobat needs much more configuration in my case then just the "tiny" Reader equivalent. The best thing: I did not realize any other problem.
Kind regards,

Adobe Bridge CS 4 missing file properties

I'm working with photoshop files (CS 4) and a few seem to have dropped some of the metadata from the file properties in the bridge browser. Dimensions, Resolution, Bit depth, and Color Mode are missing, and the Color Space is listed as Untagged, even though it is in fact tagged as Adobe 1998 in the Photoshop file. It's as if I inadvertently hit it a quick key to dump the information, as it has only occurred on a couple of files. The thumbnail appears smaller too. Any ideas?

I tried all of the above to no avail. I saved a copy in another folder and the file still had the diminished thumbnail and missing data. I added another layer (the files contain many layers and adjustment layers) to the file, cropped and re-saved and it picked up the missing data on the new version. I made some benign changes on my original, but alas it didn't work.
When I get a chance I'll do some more testing on this. It may have something to do with I import certain layers. I have been flowing layers in from both Aperture and Bridge, and from the latter, sometimes as smart objects. So maybe there is something going on there.
Except for this minor glitch, and some more serious PS stability issues, I am preferring the Bridge/Photoshop workflow to the Aperture/Photoshop workflow, and I'm thinking of jettisoning Aperture altogether in favor of the "browser" method of managing files.
I appreciate all the suggestions and will get back to this problem soon. But for know I have to meet a deadline.

Author metadata separated by semi-colons truncated in file properties and "Get Info"

I'm using Acrobat Professional 9.0 (CS3) for Mac to edit the metadata for a collection of PDFs to be made available on the web. When I enter the data, I am inputting a list of authors separated by commas, like this: Smith J, Watson C, Brown J. If I click on "Additional metadata", the data I've already entered is transposed into the various XMP fields. And the commas separating the author names are changed to semi-colons. I gather that this happens because XMP wants to separate multiple authors with semi-colons, and Acrobat wants the metadata in XMP fields to match the metadata stored for the file properties. Fine.
However, if I save such a PDF and then use Get Info on my Mac (OSX 10.4) to look at the file properties, the list of authors is now truncated where the first semi-colon appears. The list is also truncated in Windows XP if I right-click and select properties. The list is also truncated when I look at the file properties in Preview on my Mac, or if I look at file properties using FoxIT, or using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 or earlier. The only way a site visitor will actually be able to view the full list of authors in a file saved this way is to use Adobe Reader version 8 or later.
I would like to preserve XMP/Dublin Core/etc metadata in the proper format in the XMP code, but would also like users of standard, popular file viewers to be able to access the full list of authors. Is there a way to do this with Acrobat 9?
Also, once I've saved a file and the XMP metadata has been altered, Acrobat seems to permanently change the way that the authors are listed in the file properties. I cannot manually change those settings any longer without Acrobat overriding my changes and converting commas to semi-colons, or surrounding the entire list of authors in quotation marks. Is there a way to get around these Acrobat overrides and manually take control of my metadata again?
Does Windows Vista read the authors list correctly in the file properties if it is separated by semi-colons?
It seems to me that in an attempt to get XMP metadata working smoothly across the entire CS line, Adobe has jumped the gun somewhat and is now forcing Acrobat users to use "file properties" metadata that is really only fully compatible with Adobe products. Is there a way I can get some backwards compatibility on this?
Thanks for any suggestions or insight anyone can provide to this vexing issue.
Phil.

Bridge has some pretty powerful and helpful features. However, I am unable to figure out how to access the non-XMP "file properties" fields through Bridge, and if I add metadata via Bridge, then I run into the same problem regarding the use of semi-colons to separate authors.
If I had more time, or a larger set of files I might investigate the use of ExtendScript to import all my metadata from an Excel file (where it already exists) into the PDF file properties and XMP metadata.
The best solution for my case though appears to be to use Acrobat 9 and to do the double-edit process for each file. I should be able to just cut-and-paste the metadata from the Excel file, and then if I save the Authors list to the end, I can simply paste it once into the XMP field (through the Advanced metadata button) and then return to the regular file properties page and paste it again in there, where Acrobat will add quotes around it.
Lastly, if anyone else happens to find this post and is looking for similar information, I would recommend searching in the Bridge forum as well as the Acrobat forum.
Phil.

How do I set file properties (win XP) ?

Does anyone know how to set/modify a windows file properties inside Labview ? For exemple : change the author, the comment... etc.
Thank you !
J.K.

Hello,
It is not possible with advanced file I/O LabVIEW VIs.
There is a possible workaround by using low level Windows functions in a dll.
Perhaps the easier would be to set your properties at the top of your file.

Unable to edit file properties in Search results

When I access a folder normally, I'm able to update a file properties but if try the same from the search results the dialog is read-only. I also can't open the properties dialog from Windows Photo Viewer, if the picture was opened from the search
results.
An example of the issue is if I search for pictures with a rating i.e.
type:jpg rating:1
I can't change the rating of an incorrectly marked jpg without going to it's folder and right clicking on the file directly.
I've tried rebuilding the search index but this hasn't fixed the issue.
Is anyone else having these issues?
