CS5 File Info Panel Memory Management

We created, and have been using, a very large custom generic panel in CS4 File Info.  The MRU file has grown to 2.5 mb, the properties are 1.5 mb -- but they have been working great in CS4.  In CS5 they only work once in a while.  With thousands of keyword in the MRU, or values in an XMP_Choice property pull-down, CS5 has memory problems.  The panel will either be empty the first time you open it, although there are xmp values in file, or the panel will just close after trying to process the MRU's.
Are panels in CS products no longer intended to be used for this large of a metadata set of attributes and values?
Thanks for your help.

That's a much more technical question than could be expected to be answered here.

  • MetaData in file not shown in Illustrator cs6 file info panel

    I have a command line application that puts meta-data into files.  It was created using the 5.1.2 xmp toolkit.  The metadata is in the file.  I can see it if I just use TextEdit to look at the file.  I can also see the custom metadata in the Illustrator CS5 File Info Panel AND the Photoshop CS6 File Info Panel.  The information doesn't show up in the Illustrator CS6 file info panel.  Any clue why?

    The files I am testing with are .jpg's.  They ultimately need to be opened with Illustrator which is why I posted.  I only tested with Photoshop to see what would happen and was pretty surprised to see the data there.  Like I said, it works in CS5 Illustrator, CS6 Photoshop, but the data just doesn't show up in the CS6 Illustrator (in the advanced nor the raw tab), and when I view the .jpg with textedit the data is difinitely there.  Pretty weird.

  • Blank File Info panel after osx archive and install (CS5)

    Hi,
    After osx archive and install I get a blank File Info panel (into AI, PS, ID and other CS5 applications), how could be solved this??
    Best regards, Robert

    Hi,
    solved by full remove/install CS5.. but how could be restored correct access rights?
    Also replied me Vikas.Sharma:
    Create a new text file named XMP.cfg (make sure the extension is cfg and not txt).
    The only text that needs to be in that file is as below:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/
    Restart the Adobe application and check the File Info panel again.
    You need to copy that file to /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust (create the directory if not already there)
    but, why osx archive and install isnt working fine with flash?
    The only troubles (solved) are quicklook flv contents and XMP file info panes into all CS5 applications, could be solved next time by a short and fast procedure?
    Best regards, Robert

  • CS5 Custom File Info Panels showing up in Bridge

    If I create a custom XMP panel using the GENERIC model, how do I make it appear in Bridge, also?

    I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
    in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
    is no longer the node that can be appended.
    Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
    <rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
    it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are  XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
    with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

  • Custom File Info Panels Doc Available !!

    Documentation for creating your own custom file info panels is available at:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/custompanel.html
    I'm interested in hearing your feedback!
    The custom File Info panel for XMP metadata allows you to define, create, and manage custom metadata properties using standard Adobe applications. You can do this by creating a Custom Panel Description file, and placing it in a common location referenced by Adobe applications that support this feature. You can also supply localization dictionary files to localize the contents of your Custom Panel Description files. The resulting custom dialog panel is seen by users when they select the File Info menu option.
    The File Info panel allows you to support paths to metadata properties which are not defined in default or other standard XMP schemas, but are needed for your application, company, or industry. By using XMP for that metadata, you take advantage of the potential of XMP for interchange and participation in asset management systems, while providing the ability to use standard Adobe applications to manage it.

    Mark,
    The PDF/A extension schema provides a big step to the self-sufficient functionality that you are asking about. It permits the XMP schema description information of custom XMP schemas to be embedded into the XMP as payload so that the file can be opened in years to come and the target metadata acurately interperted. Currently, PDF tools are active candidate to make use of this facility. However, there is nothing preventing future use with other file formats, and other tools (via plug-ins?).
    It does not include vocabulary, static text, and panel presentation layout information.
    http://www.pdfa.org/doku.php
    It defines a "known" subset of standard XMP properties from the 2001 XMP Spec. Everything else is "custom".
    You could craft a custom File Info "template" with the PDF/A extension for your custom XMP fields. Then import the template into each file.
    The PDF/A extension schema itself is implemented with multi-dimensional XMP arrays. MetaGrove Plug-in dialog screen shots can be viewed on http://www.poundhillsoftware.net/Acrobat.htm

  • Custom file info panel to xmp

    I have a custom file info panel I use on an old version of photoshop, have 20gigs of pictures with data. with cs5 and 6 haven't figure how to convert except manually which would be VERY painful. Is there a conversion for file info panels to xmp? can I run creative cloud and still install an older version of photoshop?

    I've found answer:
    group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, reverse: rtl_aware)
    static_text( name: '$$$/CustomPanels/Widgets/static_text=Naglowek:',font: font_small_bold_right, vertical: align_top);

  • Custom File Info Panel: Bridge Locks Up (trials, tribulations, woes)

    o/ all!
    So I've spent the better part of this morning trying (for what I think is the fifth time this year) to get a custom file info panel installed properly. I've managed to successfully install a generic panel with most of the properties that I'd like in the panel proper, however, I'm having no end of trouble publishing and installing the panels and having them display properly in Bridge CC (64-bit).
    I've followed the instructions provided in the Programmer's Guide to the letter (yes, including the trust files), and I'm still having issues.
    -- System Information --
    OS: Windows 7 64-bit
    Flash Builder 4.7 (64-bit)
    Adobe Bridge CC (64-bit)
    Right now, all I'm trying to do is:
    Create the flash builder project for an XMP File Info Panel
    Publish the file info panel
    Confirm the file info panel was installed correctly in Adobe Bridge CC.
    The process:
    1. I create the new project in Flash Builder (I've attempted using the 4.6.0 and 3.6A flex SDKs).
    Now, at this point, I'm simply attempting to confirm that everything is hunky-dory with the installation process before I start converting my generic panel into a flash/flex panel; so I'm not modifying any of the files that the wizard created.
    2. Right-click the root project folder in the leftmost pane in Flash Builder, select XMP>Publish.
    3. Locate the published panel's output directory that Flash Builder published to
    4. Copy/paste the published panel's root directory to the following directories:
    C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\
    C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\
    I put the panel definition in all of these folders as per various 'fixes' to what I think my issue is that I've discovered while google-troubleshooting.
    5. Create a trust file in FlashPlayerTrust folder with the name testPanel36A.cfg (contents listed below):
    C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
    C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
    As far as I know, I can put multiple paths in these .cfg files, but I'm not-at-all confident that this is, in fact, the case.
    After all this, I fire up bridge, right click an image file, and select FileInfo. The dialog displays fine, and the panel tab appears on the right. Clicking on the panel reveals nothing but a gray area with no content, and Bridge locks up entirely. I can't cancel out of the dialog, and end up having to end the process from Task Manager.
    My gut tells me that I'm doing something wrong with the trust files, as this seems like the issue that most closely resembles what I'm encountering. Secondarily, It may be the flex SDKs -- I only have the 4.6.0 and the 3.6A SDKs, and the link in the Flash Builder dialog takes me to the sourceforge page for Adobe, and from there, I cannot locate any additional older SDKs to try this with (I've seen posts around saying that people got their panels to work with 3.0, or 3.5).
    Anyone have ANY insight on this? Seriously at my wits end -- I've tried everything but nothing seems to work . Many thanks,
    .e

    Hi The_Mumm,
         You need to correct content fo the .cfg file (hope your .cfg file is at correct directory i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust). Yes, I agree that you have followed the documentation and put the path upto .swf file.
        Could you please modify the content of the trust file, with the below content (you path have been modified)
    C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\
    C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\
    Hope everything will work now. If it doesn't work, please put only one path in trust file e.g. "C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels" and put the publish panel in this folder.
    One more precaution, don't copy, if required move the custom panel from one place to other.
    Please let me know if you still faces any issue.  Enjoy you new year.
    For your reference, I am following the following steps and everything is working fine
    1. Open the Fb7,
    2. file->new->project
    3. in the new project wizards, select "xmp->custom panel wizard"
    4. xmp->publish custom panel
    5. Open the .cfg file and added the path (C:\Users\<user name>\appdata\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels)  where my panel has got published.
    6. Ran Bridge CC, panel is there and working fine.
    One more variations I did is, moved custom panel from C:\Users\<user name>\appdata\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels  (the location of the custom file info panel inside bridge).
          For you doubts I tried with flex SDK 3.3A and 3.6a both worked fine. As in forum you have written that you don't have any other sdk. If you like please go on the following links for older SDKs "http://sourceforge.net/adobe/flexsdk/wiki/Download%20Flex%203/"

  • XMPComboBox and XMPDateField probems in File Info Panel

    Hi,
    I have used Flash Builder 4 with the XMP FileInfo 4.4.2  SDK to build the example Custom File Info Panels.
    None of the examples worked using the Flex 3.5 or 4.0 SDKs (blank panels in photoshop).
    The example panels build and show in CS4 when I configure Flash Builder to use the Flex 3.0.2 SDK(last stable build of 3.0) .
    The panels create and show usable XMP metadata but dropdowns combo boxes don't work and neither does the popup calendar on the date field.
    The panel I have to build will require functioning Comboboxes and Popup calendars.
    Can you let me know if there is anything I can do to resolve this issue?
    I would switch to using CS5 but my company is using over 2000 CS4 licenses.
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Hi Stephan,
    1. I'm on Windows 7.
    2. I installed the precompiled examples like this:
    copy \XMP-FileInfo-SDK-4.4.2\samples\panels\BasicControlSamplePanel directory to :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\BasicControlSamplePanel
    The ComboBox dropdown and DateField calendar pop-up works fine in the CS4 photoshop fileinfo panel.
    Here's the problem:
    I also built the panel in Flash Builder 4 by importing this directory
    \XMP-FileInfo-SDK-4.4.2\samples\panels-src\BasicControlSamplePanel
    I downloaded 3.0.2 Flex SDK , configured FB4 to use it and chose "Use a specific SDK:" 3.0.2 in the Flex Compiler section.
    I changed the runnable Flex applications to use src\examples\BasicControlSamplePanel.mxml 
    I left the rest of the project properties at default.
    I ran an Export release build.
    I copied the \target directory to :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\BasicControlSamplePanel
    I copied the \bin-release\BasicControlSamplePanel.swf file to :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\BasicControlSamplePanel\bin
    In this case ComboBox dropdown and DateField calendar pop-up DON'T work in the CS4 photoshop fileinfo panel.
    I have built all the other samples similarly in the SDK and their dropdowns and comboboxes don't work either!
    I couldn't find a FileInfoFoundation.swf file but I did find a FileInfoFoundation.swc file - where would i get a FileInfoFoundation.swf file?
    I wasn't sure what you meant , so I copied FileInfoFoundation.swc to :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\BasicControlSamplePanel\bin
    It didn't make a difference!
    Is there something I'm missing or something else I need to do?
    Thanks for your help on this.
    Paul.

  • Error when building File Info Panel

    I'm trying to rebuild my custom XMP File Info panel so that it will work in CS5, but am getting the following error:

    1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: XMPComboBox.     DKimageXMP.as     /dkphoto/as     line 223     Flex Problem
    The line causing the problem is:

    Near the top of my actionscript file I have

    Thanks for your help, that fixed the problem.
    I'm now having trouble with a TextInputMRU - when I give it a dataProvider the panel builds okay, but appears empty when viewing it in Photoshop.

  • File info Panel doesn't show up in CS6 apps

    Hi all,
    I have compiled a File Info Panel with EB2. It opens fine in CS5.5 apps but it's not accessible with CS6.
    I can't see any settings in EB2 to have both versions supported. I also tweaked the manifest and get the ZXP recompiled but then althought the panel does appear, the content isn't built.
    Any hint on what's happening ?
    Best,
    Loic

    Hi Loic,
    Do you know what directory you are installing the panel to? Is it /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels/
    Can you try placing the panel inside of  /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0/panels/ instead. If your panel does not display when you open the FileInfo dialog on your development machine then you may need to adjust the flash player trust file so it is pointing at the 4.0 directory; /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust
    In the MXI file update the paths so it deploys to the 4.0 directory.
    I will forward this issue onto the Extension Builder team as it seems supporting FileInfo panels between suite versions is not currently available.
    Kind regards,
    Lea

  • How to make my old file info panel from photoshop work in xmp

    Help. Not a photoshop guy but rather a genealogist. Many years ago downloaded a custom file info panel for photoshop which I used to enter meta text about the family photos I scanned. Currently using adobe creative cloud but cant figure out how to use panel or see most of my metatext last few version. Below is information about the panel. All I really want to do is install my panel and get back to genealogy. I apologize but not sure I need to understand the basics of photoshop..

    This is the authors description of the panel:
    Genealogy Photo (Private Collection) Custom File Info Panel 1.0 for Photoshop. 11 FEB 2007
    Developed by Ron Reiger [email protected]
    Please contact me to suggest improvements.
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    The Custom File Info Panel is used to capture metadata about a genealogy/family history photo that is privately held (that is, the photo is not in the possession of a library). The metadata property names on the File Info Panel are based on my interpretation of the recommended primary citation for a photograph (private possession) (annotated, with provenance) as described on page 95 of Elizabeth Shown Mill's "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" and on my interpretation of recommended primary citation for an Electronic File (Image from Private Files - Annotated), Mills, "Citation!", page 81. I added a few more property names for location and date the photo was taken and keywords (to ID people by number rather than by name), the name of the person who provided the description, a surety for their description, and an informal description. Each field is discussed below.
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    Date Scanned: This is the date the photo was scanned. Date is populated by Photoshop and is not editable.
    Provider: The owner of the photo as of the date it was scanned. A researcher in a future generations will know who had the photo at a particular point in time.
    Provenance: Describe as best you can how the photo got from the person in the photo to the Provider.
    Description Provided By: List the person who identified the people and location in the image.
    Description Surety: (This is an open text field. You can use any surety rating system you want.) Describe or rate the quality of the Description of the image's people and location. Note any uncertainties regarding any particular people in the photo.
    Complete Subject Description: List the full name of each individual in the image, in order. You may want to list the location and date of the image even though there are separate property names for that data.
    Informal Subject Description: An optional non-genealogical description of the image, perhaps for using the photo outside of genealogy. Example Informal Subject Description: "Grandpa as a young man."
    Media Description: Describe the paper photo you scanned. Dimensions, border, frame, damage, etc. Your ancestors will have an easier time finding the paper photo later if you describe it well!
    Annotations: Copy any annotations on the front or back of the photo and frame. Transcribe any photographer embossing/imprint; this is a clue for dating/locating photos.
    Special Editing/Alterations: Describe any restoration you performed on the digital image. Did you correct for the lateral reverse of a tintype or daguerreotype?
    City/County: List the City/County where the image was taken.
    State: List the State where the image was taken.
    Country: List the County where the image was taken.
    Photo Date: List the date the image was taken.
    Keywords: This is the standard keyword entry. Commas or semicolons can be used to separate keywords. I type the TMG ID number of each person in the photo here so I can search for all photos of the person without typing their name.
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    I have not created a working namespace URI or rdf ala http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for this panel. I have not created localization dictionary files for this panel. Data entered into the panel will appear in Adobe Bridge. As you can see below I re-used lots of pre-existing property names and dumped all my new property names into the photoshop namespace. I don't know if this approach has drawbacks.
    Date Scanned:                xmp_path: 'CreateDate'   Pre-existing property name
    Provider:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Credit'    Pre-existing property name
    Provenance:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Provenance'
    Description Provided By:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionProvidedBy'  Pre-existing property name
    Description Surety:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionSurety'
    Complete Subject Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Description'   Pre-existing property name
    Informal Subject Description:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Caption'   Pre-existing property name
    Media Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'MediaDescription'
    Annotations:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Annotations'
    Special Editing/Alterations:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'SpecialEditing'
    City/County:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'City'    Pre-existing property name
    State:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'State'    Pre-existing property name
    Country:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Country'   Pre-existing property name
    Photo Date:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DateCreated'   Pre-existing property name
    Keywords:               xmp_path: 'Keywords'   Pre-existing property name
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    I have tested this panel with Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge CS2 only.  It may not work on earlier versions.  FWIW a malformed Custom File Info Panel will fail to load in File Info; it won't crash Photoshop.
    The following was taken from "XMP Custom Panels," Adobe, Oct 2003.
    Each time an Adobe application opens the File Info dialog, it scans all the files in these directories and appends them to the file list. If more than one of the description files has
    the same panel name, the one found in the last file to be loaded is added, and others are ignored.
    Changes to the contents of the directories do not require you to reload an application; changes are automatically reflected in the dialog the next time it is opened.
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Creative Suite applications:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    \Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or 6.0:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\\Custom File Info Panels
    \Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Custom File Info Panels
    I actually do not understand how to write a panel but here is the actual panel:
    <?xml version="1.0">
    <!DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://ns.adobe.com/custompanels/1.0">

  • Custom File Info-panel stays empty

    Hi all!
    I want to create my first custom File Info panel and I have trouble with it.
    I use either a sample from the XMP-FileInfo-SDK-5.1 (e.g. "BasicControlSamplePanel") or even the "Generic" tool for simple XMP based panels.
    I use Photoshop CS4 (on Mac OS X 10.6.4) and so I copy the panels to "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/".
    Now I look with Photoshop and I see the tab for the new panel but the content is empty...
    Of course I did no modifications on the samples for my first try.
    Any clues what's wrong here? I guess it may be a simple error because even the sample does not work...
    TIA,
    H.Sup
    PS. I did also a test on Win XPwith the same result.

    To answer my own question:
    The documentation really sucks.
    I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
    usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
    WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
    The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
    Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
    After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.
    Cheers,

  • Custom File Info panels from PS into LR

    I have a large number of Custom File Info panels created for use within Photoshop that are imperative to our workflow of different departments. These Metadata strings are later read by Extensis Portfolio as our DAM tool of choice.
    I don't see to be able to find where to change this other than making minor tweaks to existing Metadata presets. Any clues hmmm? Ta

    Better ways:
    1-1 or 1-many:
    (on the file menu: plugin extras) which brings up:
    If you want to do "many to many-others-like-them", you have to use a different plugin, like Relative Antics..

    If I understand it correctly, "Custom File Info panels" for xmp data should just solve this problem.
    Many of us are hoping Adobe enhances Lr to provide better support for custom metadata - as you've noticed, Lightroom is not one of those "Standard Adobe Applications" referred to in the above link.

  • Custom File Info Panel Multi select options

    Hi,
    I have created a custom file info panel and working on simple properties.
    it does not have options for provisioning a multi select list box. Say for example, I want to select multiple values from the dropdown values.
    How should i do it? Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sriram

    Hi,
    Following is my sample property file. I want to make the property "Line Year" to be multiselect.
    <xmp_definitions>
    </xmp_schema prefix='x' namespace='x....'
                      <xmp_property name='LineYear' category='external' label='Line Year' type='closedchoice' element_type='text'>

  • Custom File Info Panel CS2- CS4

    I have a Custom File Info Panel that has been created in Adobe Photoshop CS2 and works in CS3.  I am having trouble figuring out how to get it to work in CS4.  Is there a way to port the Custom File Info Panel into CS4 without entirely recreating it?
    I am seeing references to FileInfo SDK and creating a new Flex UI but I can't seem to find a definitive method on this pre-CS4 File Info Panel to the new UI - and I am in unfamiliar territory.
    Any assistance or points in the proper direction would be most helpful.
    UPDATE:  Answering at least some of my own questions, I have followed the procedure here:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/gunar/2008/11/customizing_metadata_ui_in_cs4.html
    I am still having some trouble with a couple of the unique properties but I expect that they will be typos... I hope...
    Any good reference information is still welcome.

    Thank you for suggesting the PS Scripting forum but I think the next stop might be the XMP SDK Forum as there are a few similar questions there such as http://forums.adobe.com/thread/540397.  But before I go impolitely cross-posting...
    I've had some success and it appears that my custom file info metadata edited and saved in CS2 is now visible in CS4 and the reverse is also true - metadata edited and saved in CS4 is visible in CS2.  This was built using the Generic Panel from the SDK according to the instructions shown at the link in my original post.
    The only problem is that the external application that relies on the custom metadata doesn't see the CS4 version of the metadata.  I suspect that this is just some general namespace issue.  Perhaps if an XMP expert would be willing to comment on the conversion of the Custom Info Panel based on the following single portion of the metadata to see if I am doing it correctly - I would very much appreciate it.
    In the CS2 Custom Info Panel XML I have this field:
    <panel title="$$$/CustomPanels/XYZ/PanelName=XYZCorp Graphics MetaData" version="1" type="custom_panel">
      group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top, reverse: rtl_aware)
      static_text(name: '$$$/CustomPanels/XYZ/fullName=Full Name/Title of Graphic', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);
      cat_container_edit_text(xmp_ns_prefix: 'xyzcorp', xmp_namespace: 'xyzcorp', xmp_path: 'FullName', container_type: seq_struct, horizontal: align_fill);
      mru_popup(xmp_ns_prefix: 'twcable', xmp_path: 'FullName', no_check: true, vertical: align_top, container_type: seq_struct, mru_append: true);
      <!-- many more fields -->
    </panel>
    In my CS4 properties.xml the corresponding field:
    <xmp_definitions xmlns:ui="http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/fileinfo/ui/">
    <xmp_schema prefix="custom" namespace="xyzcorp" label="$$$/Custom/Schema/Label=XYZCorp Graphics MetaData" description="$$$/Custom/Schema/Description=CS4 Version of XYZCorp MetaData Custom Panel.">
        <!-- simple properties -->
       <xmp_property name="FullName" category="external" label="$$$/Custom/Property/FullName_Label=Full Name/Title of Graphic:" type="seq" element_type="text"/>
    <!-- many other properties -->
    <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>
    </xmp_definitions>
    It seems that the following CS2 => CS4 translations should be true:
    "xmp_namespace" => xmp_schema namespace property (in this case "xyzcorp")
    "xmp_path" => xmp_property name property (for this one property, "FullName")
    is there another translation that I am missing?  I am betting it has something to do with the CS2 "xmp_ns_prefix" but I am not entirely sure how to map this.  Also perhaps something in manifest.xml (though it didn't seem like it)?
    Many thank you's to anyone that can offer words of wisdom.
