Context right-click to export XMP metadata to file

I'd like to have the right click context menu include the option to "Export XMP Metadata to Files" in the Library grid or filmstrip. Currently an annoying trip to the Menu bar is required to invoke this function.

It was there for B4.1. The Contextual Menus are getting crowded, so maybe that's why they took it out.
I like lots of Contexual Menus,too. But they get a little useless if too crowded, so maybe they need ot be user configuarable for what one uses the most.
Maybe by V1.5?

Exporting XMP metadata sidecar files by themselves.

Is there a way to export sidecar files without exporting another master somewhere? I run a referenced library referenced to an archive on my HDD that I can easily back and manage. I may want to export sidecar files for the pictures as a yearly thing or so. As far as I can tell you can only creat sidecar files when exporting a new master which would then created an IMG_1(1) master and double the store space usage. By using the export metadata function you end up with a single text file.
Right now I just plan to manage and backup my metadata via a Vault but the option would be nice to be able to export sidecar files separately from a new master. Maybe I'm asking too much and just need to use the app as it is designed...

Sorry I can't answer that, the script was written a while ago and came from here..

It might be best to write one from scratch, but that would mean knowing what fields were required and what file types.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Import XMP Metadata From File

In Beta4, the Import XMP Metadata From File command would import data found in an xmp file.
In V1, it's not working...or am I missing something.
(I do understand that Export XMP to File will write the data into the image file itself.)
Ideas?
Pete

Here's a sample xmp I created...in case it's wrong..but it was working in B4. <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Toolkit 3.3-016, build -num-, -date-"> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"> <dc:description> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">: Geese at sunset.

Need right-click in Capitvate 4 in Aggregated files

I need the right-click to work in my simulations created in Captivate 4 using AS2. They work fine individually, but not when aggregated. I read in the forum that the javascript that allows the user to right click is included in the HTML file published with the individual swf. Of course, that file is not used with the aggregator.
Instead, I get the error message shown here.
Would it work to copy that code from the individual cp file when published and paste it into the Aggregator html file? If so, how would I recognize that code?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

is it only me? no one has the same issue?

Apex Calendar Context (right click) menu

Hi all,
Apex version: 4.2
Plugin: context(rightclick) menu by Vikram
I'm using this plugin and it works perfectly for SQL Reports and IRs. For example this function opens a new popup window with the ID selected by right clicking an entry.
function myMenuAction(action, el, pos)
if (action=='TEST')
window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:52:&SESSION.::NO::P1_ID:' + $(el).children('td[headers="ID"]').text(),'Popup','height=800,width=800,toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no ,modal=yes');
...I want to know if there is a way to do the same on an apex calendar entry.
Thanks in advance.
Matt.

Context (Right Click) Actions Incredible Slow in Project Window

I have a 3 MB project, relatively small (I think). Lots of sequence versions, a fairly large pool of media, it's for five short (2.5 minute) film pieces. Whenever I go to duplicate a sequence, it can take upwards of 2minutes to make that happen. Whenever I right click on a sequence (or any media in the project window) the program beach balls, and then the context window comes after 10 - 15 seconds.
What's the deal with that? Is that a known bug in Premiere CC14? Is there something technical with my project I don't realize is happening. I have an 8 Core, Late 2013 Mac Pro (Trash Can) with 32 GB of RAM, so I can't fathom it being a memory problem.

That's wacky, man. I have a MacBook Pro on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I can right click and duplicate a sequence in less than a second. Something is definitely up with your system. I recently updated to OS X 10.10, but I did so carefully, so that is what I attribute my "problem free" system to.
I wiped my disk completely prior to installing OS X Yosemite 10.10
I ensured all my Adobe folders were set to R/W
Repaired disk permissions
Trash media cache regularly
You might try Software Only mode for the Mercury Playback Engine
Other than wiping your disk, you can try the other things to see if you get improved behavior. If you still have trouble, contact Adobe Customer Care: Contact Customer Care ask for the "video queue" to ensure you are routed correctly. They're open M-F 7AM to 7PM PST

Keywords, Include on Export, Save Metadata to File, and SmugMug???

My workflow and issue (LR 5.7 and SmugMug plugin 2.1.10):
1) I import RAW files as DNGs
2) I do various Lightroom stuff, plus add Keywords. Some of the keywords do not have "Include on Export" checked. Some of my keywords are part of hierarchies that have "Export Containing Keywords" checked. And some of keywords have synonyms.
3) Once I am all done with a file, I select "Save Metadata to File"
4) Then I publish to SmugMug using the SmugMug publish service.
5) The SmugMug website shows keywords which I did not intend to be included on export, it does not show the complete hierarchy for those keywords that should, and none of my synonyms show. I noticed this is the same way the keywords were saved to the DNG when I view the file in Bridge.
6) When I export the file to a file on my desktop and check the metadata with Bridge, the Keywords all export correctly.
All of this behavior makes sense, I guess, but I cannot figure out what to do about it. Should I not bother to "Save Metadata to File", this seems to be what is messing up the SmugMug publish service? Is the SmugMug publish service behaving correctly? I would have expected it to behave like an export which would write synonyms, exclude keywords that should be excluded, etc, which seems to work ok in point 6 above. Are the publish services more effort than they are worth? So I get SmugMug to work, what happens when I try Flickr? I hate to stop "Save(ing) Metadata to File(s)", since that seems like a nice hedge against db corruption and the next time I decide to try a whole different image database.
Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps someone with direct experience with publishing to Smugmug will chime in. Short of that, some thoughts on your issues:
Should I not bother to "Save Metadata to File", this seems to be what is messing up the SmugMug publish service?
I very much doubt that it is messing up the publishing. What gets saved to the file from the catalog is independent of what gets exported. Saving metadata to the file is generally a good practice (in case you screw up your catalog backups). Many, perhaps most, users set the preference Catalog Settings > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.
I would have expected it to behave like an export which would write synonyms, exclude keywords that should be excluded, etc, which seems to work ok in point 6 above.
Yes, that's a reasonable expectation.
You may have done this already, but double-check: Right-click the Smugmug publishing service in the left-hand column of the Library, select Edit Settings, and in the Metadata section verify that you have Include: All Metadata set.
Did you download the Smugmug plugin from Smugmug? You might try this Smugmug plugin instead -- the author designed the publishing architecture of LR and has an excellent reputation.
Are the publish services more effort than they are worth? So I get SmugMug to work, what happens when I try Flickr?
I think many users find the publishing services are generally worthwhile. I publish regularly to Flickr (using the built-in Flickr plugin, which isn't completely reliable) and the Zenfolio plugin from Friedl.

Run script from explorer context(right-click) menu

Hi,
I have an existing powershell script which removes certain filetypes from a directory however it requires the script and shortcut to be in the directory I want to process. I was wondering if it was possible to put this script (or a VBS equivalent) in a central
location, create an entry on the explorer context menu that when run would call the script using the current directory as the directory that the script is to process.
I don't mind if this is entirely powershell/VBS/.BAT or even if there is some 3rd party app that can easily form part of the process. I'd appreciate any recommendations how to approach this.
Thanks

The context menus are defined by registry entries.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\PowershellScript]
@="My Powershell Script"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\PowershellScript\command]
@="CMD.EXE /C Powershell.exe -File C:\\Scripts\\MyScript.ps1 %1"
%1 is generated by the context menu and is the folder name
The script needs to accept this path as parameter.

Context (right click) link to edit audio track with Audition is greyed out in Premiere Pro CS6

I have reported this previously in the forum and I've seen some other posts on this and was hoping that there is either a solution or workaround for this real workflow issue. I read that this is a known bug inserted with the update to 6.0.1. It is now 6.0.3 and time to fix this bug please.
Adobe, if you're listening, this is all about workflow. It's disruptive to a workflow situation where deadlines are important and it shouldn't be a difficult programming problem to fix. It worked before. Make it work again. That's not asking a lot from a customer who has been a Premiere user since the 90s.
Thank you.

It does work for most. So we have to find out why it isn't for you. (Though admittedly, I'm not even sure what questions to ask trying to track down the cause.)

Export xmp as seperate file

Hi
I'm exporting a mxf file from after effects. I would like to include a xmp file, but not in the mxf file. I would like to have it as a seperate file. Is that possible?
Jakob

Don't think so. AE specifically tries to use the media formats' native options for timecode and metadata nad when using Dynamic Link it also uses the media cache to store additional info. you should look into capturing all information with a script. it's the only way to be 100% everything ends up where you want it.

Can't parse XMP metadata from files

Hello,
I am currently having troubles reading custom metadata from a file.
I wrote a really simple test case to show you that, maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Writing a simple property :
static const char * kNS1 = "ns:test1/";
void Foo::writeSimple()
 if( !SXMPMeta::Initialize() )
 LOGIT( LOG_ERROR, "Could not initialize XMP toolkit!" );
 return;
 // custom schema
 std::string actualPrefix;
 bool ret = SXMPMeta::RegisterNamespace( kNS1, "ns1", &actualPrefix );
 XMP_OptionBits options = 0;
 // Must initialize SXMPFiles before we use it
 if ( !SXMPFiles::Initialize( options ) )
 LOGIT( LOG_ERROR, "Could not initialize SXMPFiles!");
 return;
 try
 SXMPMeta meta;
 std::string value;
 meta.SetProperty( kNS1, "name", "value" );
 // just to check the property gets actuelly written in meta
 bool exists = meta.GetProperty( kNS1, "name", &value, 0 );
 std::cout << "writeRead: " << value << std::endl; // output is ok
 // Options to open the file with - open for editing and use a smart handler
 XMP_OptionBits opts = kXMPFiles_OpenForUpdate | kXMPFiles_OpenUseSmartHandler;
 std::string status = "";
 // First we try and open the file
 bool ok = p_private->m_file.OpenFile( "Collines.jpg", kXMP_UnknownFile, opts );
 // Check we can put the XMP packet back into the file
 if( p_private->m_file.CanPutXMP( meta ) )
 // If so then update the file with the modified XMP
 p_private->m_file.PutXMP( meta );
 else
 LOGIT( LOG_ERROR, "PutXMP: cannot put XMP" );
 p_private->m_file.CloseFile();
 SXMPFiles::Terminate();
 SXMPMeta::Terminate();
 catch( XMP_Error& e )
 LOGIT( LOG_EXCEPTION, "writeSimple: " + std::string(e.GetErrMsg()) );
Reading the property:
void Foo::readSimple()
 if( !SXMPMeta::Initialize() )
 LOGIT( LOG_ERROR, "Could not initialize XMP toolkit!" );
 return;
 // custom schema
 std::string actualPrefix;
 bool ret = SXMPMeta::RegisterNamespace( kNS1, "ns1", &actualPrefix );
 XMP_OptionBits options = 0;

 // Check we can put the XMP packet back into the file
 SXMPMeta meta;
 std::string xmpPacket;
 XMP_PacketInfo packetInfo;
 ok = p_private->m_file.GetXMP( &meta, &xmpPacket, &packetInfo );
 std::cout << "DBG: getXMP: " << xmpPacket << std::endl; // output is ok, I can see what I wrote before
 std::string value;
 bool exists = meta.GetProperty( kNS1, "name", &value, 0 ); // returns false...
 std::cout << "writeRead: " << value << std::endl; // nothing in value
 p_private->m_file.CloseFile();
 SXMPFiles::Terminate();
 SXMPMeta::Terminate();
 catch( XMP_Error& e )
 LOGIT( LOG_EXCEPTION, "readSimple: " + std::string(e.GetErrMsg()) );
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in adavance!

Finder issue: Compress option missing from right-click menu and greyed out in File menu

How can this be, and - more importantly - what can I do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

You mean this ThisService? Never heard of it before.
Why don't you create services using Automator (in /Applications)? That's one of the things it is designed to do. It has no problem with making sure they are properly created and installed in ~/Library/Services so that the finder can see them there under the conditions desgnated when you create them. You don't even have to log out and back in.
Note, if you like using applescript you can use applescript in automator too.

Export XMP Files + DNG?

If I currently have all of the RAW images within my Lightroom database in the DNG format, do I have to worry about exporting the XMP data to the files (using the 'Export .XMP Metadata to File' menu option)? What about the Preference setting to 'Automatically write changes into XMP'? Anyone know whether or not this preference setting is relevant to someone with a library full of DNG RAW images?
If this is something that has to be done in order for other Apps to be able to see the various adjustments and settings I've applied to my images in Lightroom, and assuming I would like to have Lightroom do this for me automatically (using the preference setting), does having changes written to the XMP sidecar files automatically in any noticeable way have a negative affect on Lightroom's performance (i.e. slow it down in any way)?
Please advise...Thanks!

>If this is something that has to be done in order for other Apps to be able to see the various adjustments and settings I've applied to my images in Lightroom
Correct, but Lr is fully functional without the requirement to export xmp data. Therefore, only export the xmp data only if it is required to do so.
I never let Lr automatically write xmp data -- why pay the performance penalty, however small it might be, for no good reason? Instead, I use the Metadata>XMP menu to export xmp data only on those images I might want to view in Bridge or ACR.
Other people have suggested that the xmp export can be used as a backup of Lr's metadata and parametric data. That is a valid argument but since not all Lr information is exported (e.g. collections, stacking, history, etc.) it's only a partial backup. Instead, I religiously backup the Lr database and copy it to external drives and burn to optical media.
