CS4 - Complex arrays for IPTC Extension

Hi,
This questions stems from my attempt to create IPTC Extension properties in Flex Builder. I need to create a bag array to hold multiple properties, each of which can have a different array type. Assigning an array to each property is easy, I can't figure out how to apply an array type to the top level property. The top level property has no data input and is not visible, it only structures the properties within it.
Example:
<Iptc4xmpExt:ArtworkOrObject>
        <rdf:Bag>
          <rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource">
            <Iptc4xmpExt:CopyrightNotice>WORK RIGHTS</Iptc4xmpExt:CopyrightNotice>
            <Iptc4xmpExt:Creator>
              <rdf:Seq>
                <rdf:li>WORK CREATOR</rdf:li>
              </rdf:Seq>
            </Iptc4xmpExt:Creator>
            <Iptc4xmpExt:Source>WORK SOURCE</Iptc4xmpExt:Source>
            <Iptc4xmpExt:SourceInvNo>WORK SOURCE INV NO</Iptc4xmpExt:SourceInvNo>
            <Iptc4xmpExt:Title>
              <rdf:Alt>
                <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">WORK TITLE</rdf:li>
              </rdf:Alt>
            </Iptc4xmpExt:Title>
          </rdf:li>
        </rdf:Bag>
     </Iptc4xmpExt:ArtworkOrObject>
I think I would enclose all of the properties within an object, but I haven't found the right object yet.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Wait, I re-read what you posted and realized you were still using a typed string set to the clipboard.
What I changed was this...
tell application "Microsoft Excel" to copy range (cell 3 of row 53 of worksheet "Keywording 2")
set key_words to the words of (the clipboard)
set keywords to key_words
It did help me get everything recognized on Shutterstock. It was just missing the ";" between the keywords, so Shutterstock just recognized it as one long string of text.
Since the problem of getting every word recognized is fixed and now that I know Photoshop only takes its keywords in list form, I guess what I'm really working in is Excel now.
I'm not sure if you can help, but this is what I was thinking...
If my keywording looks like this in Excel..."keyword1", "keyword2", "keyword keyword 3"...and since Photoshop won't recognize the "," if it's pasted from the clipboard, is there a way to...
a) Set the contents of the clipboard as a list when copying?
b) Have the script place "," between pairs of quotes when it pastes (the clipboard) into Photoshop?
c) I'm really running out of ideas, I am beating a dead horse, I should give it up?
d) Any other suggestions?

Complex arrays for DLLs

I have spent a lot of time trying to pass arrays of complex numbers between LabVIEW and a DLL I have written in C++, but with no success. The data types I wish to interface with in the C++ are things like std::vector<std::complex<float> > and std::vector<std::complex<int16_t> > (or just the basic arrays they contain). However, I would be willing to use any sensible data representation (i.e. such that I don't need to shift it around in memory unnecessarily).
I have gone through all the DLL examples in LabVIEW 2013, which include complex numbers and arrays, but not arrays of complex numbers. I tried using the typedef struct approach for handling complex numbers (suggested in one example). This works fine within my C++ code: I can reinterpret_cast<...>(...) to get back to arrays of std::complex. However, every attempt at interfacing this with LabVIEW has failed in a variety of ways. At best, I managed to get some garbled numbers passing back and forth.
So, does anyone know where I can find a (very) basic example/step-by-step guide to passing complex arrays between LabVIEW and DLLs? Given that this is trivial in C++, I imagine there must be a straightforward solution out there somewhere.
Many thanks!

A LabVIEW complex number is simply a structure with the imaginary and real value both represented as a floating point number. As such there is very little you can do on the LabVIEW side to change that. C++ object pointers are compiler specific and often even dependent on the version of the template library that was used to compile them. As such there is absolutely NO way to use them in any code that needs to be called from code that was not compiled with the same C++ compiler and the same compile settings. You can bend in circles and jump through hoops but there is simply no way to get around that.
The only C++ object oriented framework that I know and avoids this limitation for the most part is the COM/DCOM standard which imposes certain limits on object interfaces so that you can get around the compiler specific ABI conventions, but only if you are very careful about how you invoke the compiler. With a bit of macro magic that can be enabled in the IDL precompiler you can even call COM/DCOM objects from standard C. Also COM/DCOM definitely will not work wth C++ template libraries and the like.

Complex Array/Objects in Datagrid

Hi,
I'm a complete noob to all this but I have a somewhat complex
array.....and I know my arrays will only get more complex.
I can get a single row by putting this as the data provider:
{dataProvider[0]['Time']}
Or, this: {dataProvider[1]['Time']}
BUT... I want multiple rows in my data grid. I can't seem to
figure out how to achieve this.
Simply putting {dataProvider} returns [object Object] ...
putting in {dataProvider[1]} will also return [object Object] ....
this is provided my dataFields are specified correctly of course
for each level.
Flash sees these as Objects, it barks at me for trying to
convert them to ArrayCollection or anything else.
I try to make a new array even of just the
dataProvider[0]['Time'] entries by specifying newArray[0] =
dataProvider[0]['Time'] ... etc. or by trying
newArray.push(dataProvider[0]['Article']) ... but this is inside a
function (for my remote connection) and I can't get the array back
to the public space for use in my data grid... or I'll get an error
about not being able to make an object into an array.
Any clues?? This sounds like such a simple thing ... and of
course I found out you can't simply put a statement to loop inside
the dataprovider... which would make it super easy.... so what's
up?
Thanks.
Here's the structure of my array by the way (returned with
amfphp) .. which will probably not be indented, sorry.
Array
[0] => Array
[Time] => Array
[id] => 1
[created] => 2007-02-25

[notes] => hours (10)
[project_id] => 1
[user_id] => 1
[Project] => Array
[id] => 1

[created] => 2007-02-25
[due] => 2007-02-28
[User] => Array
[id] => 1
[username] => admin
[1] => Array
[Time] => Array

Similar problem with different data structure
My data looks like this

fine, but when the user clicks on this cell, I need to be able to
get the "id" attribute in order to update the DB.

How can I synchronize IPTC Extension metadata in LR 5?

All - The Copy and Synchronize Metada interfaces to LR 5 shows IPTC Extension (IPTC Image fields and others) metadata, however when I use these functions this information is not included. Is this a limitation or a bug? How can I get this to work?
Kind regards,
Michael

CaptureNX has access to Nikon proprietary data that Lightroom doesn't have access to.
Despite what many people will have you believe, it's not an access problem, it's an interpretation issue - Lr doesn't speak NX2.
It is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE to write a partial converter which converts (some) NX2 (or Aperture, or CaptureOne, or camera, or..) settings to Lightroom "equivalents".
I say partial and "some" because a perfect conversion would be impossible, and a near-perfect conversion would be a LOT of work - there are no real "equivalents" for any settings, more less all settings.
Currently, there is (plugin-powered) support for translating camera profile, but not cropping/rotation, not basic settings, and certainly not the more esoteric adjustments, locals, ...
Maybe some day there will be better support for adjustment translation, but that day is not today...
If you just want to see what was done in NX2 for comparison etc.., I recommend using a plugin like 'RawPlusJpeg' which has embedded preview extraction features, or save a jpeg in NX2 and import it. And as has already been mentioned by Jim Hess, if you want to continue editing in Lr where you left off in NX2, then you have to import an NX2-saved tiff (or jpeg) file, and edit that instead of the raw.
Cheers,
Rob

IPTC Extension doesn't show

Hello,
I've been tinkering around with Bridge (4.0.4.2)
Created a template with IPTC Extension checked, IPTC Extension is checked in the preferences as well.
It doesn't show in the Metadata panel though. IPTC Core shows.
Any ideas as to what may have happened?
EDIT: Here's a screenshot of when I create a new template. I can only choose IPTC Core and IPTC Extension, but "Properties selected" always equals 0.
IPTC Extension doesn't show in the Metadata panel as well:
Preferences has it checked:

Thanks for trying to help Paul, but I'm still running into the same problem. I've done what you've shown a bunch of times.
Here's my example:
Created a template…
I've also added IPTC Extension metadata…
Append template > Template Adobe Forums…
I see results for IPTC Core…
I can never get the IPTC Extension panel to show though :-(

IPTC Extension/Location does not show in photoshop on export

I am exporting photos with "All" metadata selected and "remove location information" is unchecked. When I open in Photoshop and go to file info, IPTC Extension page is blank. No info under Sublocation, City, Province, etc. I have tried a new metedata template with all checked but to no avail. If I re-import photos into another catalog, the location information is there. Just doesn't show in Photoshop.

I resolved the problem. It was somehow related to my using Microsoft
theme pictures. I set Windows to use the basic theme and the problem
went away. Thank you for the suggestions.

Complex datatypes for webservices

Hello all,
Question from customer:
"...Its not possible to user webservices in htmldb, that user complex types for paramater or return.
Creation htmldb webservice formulars work only with literal soap data types. But soap xsd support complex types or arrays. Thus, we can not use htmldb for accessing such services. .."
If customer uses complex datatypes it appears a ora-20001.
Is there a way to use complex datatypes for webservices in htmldb or will it be included in a new release or patch?
thanks
Hendrik

Hi,
Did you solve this one?
I'm having the exact same problem, trying to communicate with Oracle Wireless webservices from htmldb,
which kind of made me dissapointed because they are both Oracle products! Basically what wireless wants is an array input and htmldb complains about this!
Any solutions?

Writing DLL operating on complex arrays

Hello,
I'm writing Dynamic Library (DLL) which should operate on complex matrix, and I have a problem with function parameters.
My target is DLL which uses FFTW libraries for calculating Fast Fourrier Transformate on complex signals given by matrix.
How should I define function? I make it on many ways,
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int fast_fourrier(fftw_complex * in, fftw_complex * out, int size)
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int fast_fourrier2(complex * in, complex * out, int size)
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int fast_fourrier3(TD1Hdl input, TD1Hdl output);
where TD1Hdl is
typedef struct {
long dimSize;
complex elt[1]; (or cmplx128 elt[1]; )
} TD1;
typedef TD1 **TD1Hdl;
There's only one method which works:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int function(double * re, double * im, double * re_out, double * im_out, int size);
But it's very time-consuming, because I must build another dynamic matrix and write into data from re and im. After calculating FFTW I must separate data onto re_out and im_out. But I think must be easier way to do this, but I'm don't now how to do this.
I'm don't know how to get into the data elt in structure TD1Hdl whitch is used by LabView when calling function on array 1D, type double 8-bytes by Array Handle. I can easily read the dimSize when we connecting to Call Library Function an array, but any modification on substructure elt crashes LabView. I think, that elt is pointer for first element of the matrix but maybe I'm wrong.
I show, that we can also pass a parameters by something like "Adapt to type", which is prototyped by function (void * arg1) and I have absolutely no idea what can I do with this param.
Maybe anybody has writed a external DLL operating on complex array and can help. I'll be grateful for any advices.
Best regards,
Darek

OK, Something has moved forward.
I used this declaration:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int fast_fourrier(TD1Hdl in)
where TD1Hdl is previously used structure. Similar code was generated when I tried "Create .c file" in LabView on Call Library Function Node set for Adapt to type.
LabView correctly passes array size, I have access to fields Im and Re of structure complex, I can write and read them but something is wrong with value conversion between LabView and DLL.
It looks like somewhere was difference in pointers, and pointer on first field of matrix wasn't it, but moved some bytes in any direction. I think that, because when I'm write to array in re and im fields the same value - for example 0.5 in LabView I get that there's about 2.5 E-234.
In next try I filled this matrix with sine function values in loop:
re = sin(2*i), im = sin(2*i+1). In worst way I should get set of values from range [-1,1] on the graph, but I get 0 or value which exceed 1.0E+100.
Could it be caused by compilator version? I'm using Borland C++ Builder 6.
I'm very thankful for interesting of this problem.

IPTC Extension Presets

The IPTC presets in Lightroom 3 needs to be able to support presets for saving the IPTC Extension fields as well. Currently it is not possible.
Secondly it would be very nice to beable to Organzine meta-data presets via folders.

The Any Filter plugin lets you search IPTC Extension fields (as well as many others not supported by Smart Collections).

What is the replacement for design view in in flex builder 4.7 for cs extension builder?

Because design view is not available in flash builder than what is the use of extension builder in UI designing now we have to do design UI with xml which is very time consuming and boring if there is any replacemnt for it than please help me .1 more thing i want to know is that when i make new default project in extension builder(flash builder 4.6) than it also not able to load design mode errror is
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.cside.libsinstaller_2.0.0.4-33034\archive\cslibs\2.0\4.5\re lease\apedelta.swc- not respondingSWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.The SWC may have failed to load because of:
* Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version
* Missing referred class definitions

I have researched this quite considerably and my understanding is that Adobe have no intention of supporting Design View any more for Extension Builder. In my opinion a very disappointing decision and one that is hard to comprehend.
The best workaround I can find is to create the majority of your design in a parallel, non Extension Builder, project and then convert/import your design into your Extension. This is by no means as satisfactory as having Design View for the Extension you are writing but it is better than simply creating your layout by guess work/trial and error.
Although this has not been announced by Adobe, I have a suspicion that the reason they have decided not to put any further resources into fixing Design View is that Extension Builder as we know it is going to be abandoned soon, probably replaced with an HTML5/JavaScript method of building extensions. My concern with this is that, other than wanting reassurances that there will be backward compatibility support for old extensions, There will not be a way of compiling an extension in a way that prevents people from seeing your code.
This is all speculation and I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. Hope this has helped.

How can I use a 1 double array for this

          System.out.println("\n\n\t For a loan amount of " + formatter.format(prin));
          System.out.println("\t With an annual interest rate of " +interest[i] * 100+ "%,");
          System.out.println("\t your payments will be " +formatter.format(month_payments)+ " per month");

I would like to use one double array where I am using 2 single arrays, can this be done?It can, but why not write a Rate class or other data structure more suited to the purpose?

CS4 randomly hangs for many minutes at a time

I've been doing a number of editing jobs on CS4 for a while now. Started out on a mac but happened to have a pretty decent Windows 7 system on hand so I decided to use that. Here are the specs:
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Intel quad-core i7
6 GB RAM
CS4 installed on 1TB C drive
Project files and scratch disk on striped volume consisting of 3 500GB SATA drives
This setup was performing spendidly on the first few projects I did, but seems to be bogging down as I work on more projects, even though the available disk space doesn't seemed to have changed much. It seems to bog down more on large projects.
What I'm noticing is that as I browse source files and try to set in/out points etc., CS4 will play for a little while and then hang for many minutes at a stretch. It will eventually come back and be usable for a short while but then hang again.
The strange thing is that when it is hung, the system resource monitor shows that the CS4 process is not responding, but it shows very low CPU usage on all cores and no surge in memory usage. Disk I/O also remains relatively low, leaving me at a loss to explain the hangs. I experienced something very similar on CS4 for mac when dealing with these same projects.
The projects have a lot of DV footage split into 2.6GB chunks that I am concatenating together. They also have some HD MJPEG AVIs that I captured using a Black Magic Intensity Pro card.
I should also add that when I finally do get the projects finished and start rendering them, the rendering is very fast overall, which confirms my theory that my machine's performance is more than adequate and these hangs are due to bugs and I/O bottlenecks in CS4 itself.
Needless to say, this is very frustrating. I have less of a problem if a program needs to do something and explains to me why I need to wait while it does it, but I don't like my programs to go away for hours without telling me where they're going.
Adobe people, if you're listening, please respond to this. I have seen a number of other complaints about similar issues. At least let us know if you're aware of these issues and what you are doing about it.
Thanks,
Carl

Well, any progress is good, eh? For MJPEG's, most of us will recommend either the MainConcept, or the Morgan. I wonder how the BM MJPEG CODE's would work, without the card - just thinking there? BTW - more users like the MainConcept by a few.
As far as Adobe goes, if they are going to put up a forum, in my opinion, they should be actively monitoring it and responding to issues. Otherwise it becomes more of a liability than an asset and merely serves to call attention to their own obliviousness.
You make a good point, but I feel that Adobe sees these as an asset in that the best T/S work is done by other users. I always suggest that anyone having any issue with an Adobe product, stop by the fora first. Most never need to go any farther. For tons of free T/S, Adobe pays for the servers and the administration of the fora.
Still, and this is between just you and me, I'd love to hear that there are some "monitors," who do read. As I mentioned, this forum is blessed to have the few Adobe employees, that we do. Photoshop has Chris Cox, one of the developers of PS. Even in his role, however, I believe that he only offers solutions and explanations, and does not "take notes." One exception was when he was compiling a list of "problem fonts" for PS, and asked for contributions with full details on what problems they caused.
When a new upgrade, or an update is issued, we do see more Adobe representation here. It usually starts with a post that something is coming out, and as many details, as are possible to divulge, are given. As we draw closer to the release date, more details are often forthcoming. This presence usually stays until after the release, and we get to comment from the trenches, how the update/upgrade works. Then, I know that notes are being taken. After a bit, that presence fades (as far as we can tell, but who knows?). Sometimes I wonder about those shadows on the wall in the Video Lounge... oh wait, those are just grease stains from the yoodles.
Good luck on your Project, and please keep us updated. My brain just keeps coming back to the MJPEG's, but they probably are not part of the issue.

In XML view, how to set sap.ui.core.CSSSize array for property "widths" of MatrixLayout Control?

As SAPUI5 prefer XML views, I'm rewriting JS view into XML views.
When I translate the statements below, I can not set sap.ui.core.CSSSize array for property "widths" of Control MatrixLayout.
JS version:
var oLayout = new sap.ui.commons.layout.MatrixLayout({
    id : 'matrix3'
    columns : 3,
    width : '600px',
    widths : ['100px', '200px', '300px']
XML version:
<l:MatrixLayout
    id="matrix3"
    columns="3"
    width="600px"
    widths="['100px', '200px', '300px']">
<l:MatrixLayout>
The error says: Uncaught Error: "[100px, 200px, 300px]" is of type object, expected sap.ui.core.CSSSize[] for property "widths" of Element sap.ui.commons.layout.MatrixLayout.
Same problem with property `backgroundDesign` of MatrixLayoutCell, I can only use a workaround to use String "Fill1" not the Class "sap.ui.commons.layout.BackgroundDesign.Fill1".
When we meet a property which need a Class object as value, we can not set it in String Format for XML views. That's a pity or I did not find the right way to set NON-String values as property for XML Controls.

Hi,
any settings that are not possible in the XML, need to be set in the controller instead.
Using the string value of an enum is fine, though.

Andreas
