Custom Sort BY IPTC data

I have a large number of scans that I am trying to assemble into a book. Is there any way to sort by IPTC date? (I hand inserted the date of actual image creation into the IPTC, but Aperture insists on sorting by scan date). Thanks for your help.
Seth

Yes, this is possible. Go to View>View Options... and for Column View pick a metadata set which includes the IPTC date.
Then, when you are in Column View in the browser pane you can click on the top of that column to order the images by it. Swapping back to Grid View will keep the order.
You can sort by any metadata you want in this manner.

  • Custom sorting in data grid

    Sorting entire records
    Problem:
    Assume you have an array of 20 items (master array), and
    first 5 items are pulled into another array (paged array),
    Which is the dataprovider for the datagrid. And the datagrid
    has 10 columns.
    When the user sorts on the datagrid, sorting should happen on
    the 20 records, and
    Not on the 5 records.
    What i tried:
    Clicking on a datagrid column header will sort only the data
    provider of the datagrid. i.e., the
    5 records. In order to sort all 20 records, sorting should
    take place on the master array,
    and not on the paged array. Sorting on 20 items seems to be
    impossible.
    The only logic we could think of was that, on the
    headerRelease of datagrid, capture the
    column header clicked(not sure if you can capture it or not).
    And write custom function
    for sorting based on that column. Since there are 10 columns,
    the number of functions
    or number of blocks of code to be written will Be 10. So did
    not feel to be feasible and optimal solution.
    Please advice.

    Hello chhavs,
    If you listen to the DataGrid's headerRelease event, the event has a property columnIndex to let you know which column the user wanted to sort. So you don't need 10 functions, just one with a switch statement, which is reasonable.
    private function handleHeaderRelease(event:DataGridEvent):void
    var sort:Sort = new Sort();
    var field:SortField;
    switch (event.columnIndex)
    case 0:
    field = new SortField("fieldA");
    break;
    case 1:
    field = new SortField("fieldB");
    break;
    case ...
    sort.fields = [field];
    masterRecords.sort = sort;
    masterRecords.refresh();
    Thanks,

  • Custom "stacks" icons in date added view/sort

    i've found various workarounds for custom stacks icons that sort by name, date creation, date modified. the only one that i couldn't resolve was the "date added" which is what is most useful for the downloads folder.
    i had automator "record" my actions of opening the downloads folder, deleting a "downloads folder icon" that i had placed in there earlier, and then undoing the deletion. this made the "downloads folder icon" the most newly added. and then i saved it as a folder action attached to my downloads folder.
    sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and it hijacks the mouse control for the second or two that it's running.
    but would any genius that knows applescript better than i know of a way to do this as an applescript. it probably wouldn't be as "sloppy" as a recorded automator workflow and wouldn't hijack the mouse control.
    thanks in advance.

    added the script found in the comments of this blog post:

  • Webi 4.0 Custom Sort for SSAS Hierarchy

    Hi,
    I'm using SSAS cube as a source for my webi report .Some report need custom sorting for hierarchy object , we are not able to apply sorting correctly in webi.
    What do i need to do in order to apply the custom sorting for hierarchy object?  Thanks.

    Hi, I've written a post on this:
    http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/09/dynamic-measures-in-webi-on-any-data.html
    ...and a few people in the comments seemed to have the same problem as you, which seems to be a bug (clicking the ellipsis does not launch the custom values screen).
    Perhaps you could try the solution offered by Gallin, which was to create a second input control, then retry the steps to create another input control and click the ellipsis to enter custom values.
    Hope that helps.

  • Sort by IPTC Metadata

    Many of my photos were digitized with a slide scanner and I have manually assigned them an IPTC Metadata "date created". In Photoshop Express and Bridge, I can sort by this date, which puts all of my photos automatically in chronological order.
    It seems that Aperature is too antiquated and will only sort by the Exif "image date", which is the date I scanned the slides, and within this date by file name (random). Am I missing something, or is there no way to sort by the "date created?".
    Sad and disappointing if Apple really missed this.

    You seem to be leading with your chin a lot in these posts - luckily for you I've used up my quota of jokes and ripostes for today...
    If you are using referenced mode for your photos, they're right where you left them in the hard disk and you can open them with whatever you like. If they've been actually imported into Aperture's library (ie managed mode) it's possible but not desirable nor recommended.
    If your aperture is suffering from general out of order randomness it sounds like you haven't spent much time setting up the structure to work like you think:
    1. What is your general structure for projects?
    2. Do you use blue folders to group projects (by location, year, client or whatever)
    3. What is your taxonomy for keywording?
    Why would you want to want to try to get to the images directly? Aperture is supposed to hide the anarchy of the way you've stored the photos on the disk and allow you to slice and dice to your heart's content. In starting to use Aperture I changed the project and folder structure in it three times in two months, without ever changing the physical location of the files on the disk. To borrow a phrase from lolcat... "ur doign it wrong"

  • Custom Sort

    I have a wierd problem that has been causing me quite a few headaches and i think if there is a way to do a custom order by, it might get rid of this annoynce.
    I have an existing script that is five scripts unioned together. When i run the script on it's own, i get the desired result in the desired order, but when i run it through a data window in powerbuilder it is bringing back a different order and i can't figure out why. It's the exact same script.
    Anyways, i'm wondering if i can create a custom sort order by, so that i can specify what the first and second fields are and then let the rest fall as they are supposed to:
    Here is a look at my Current results:
    Equip_# - Read_Desc - Date ----------- Reading
    12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 1101.88
    12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Summer Peak- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Winter Peak - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Radio Device - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Demand ------- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    I need the first two fields of the table to sorted as follows and then the rest can just fall into place:
    Equip_# - Read_Desc - Date ----------- Reading
    12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 1101.88
    12345 - Demand ------- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    ...Doesn't matter how it sorts as long as they two come first
    Hope someone can help, cause this really just doens't make a lot of sense and i'm now just trying to get this done and get it behind me.
    thanks in advance

  • Lightroom Mobile does not recognise my custom sort order

    I cannot find a way to get the Lightroom Mobile app on my iPad to recognise the custom sort order set up for the collection on my desktop. I am on the current versions of both Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile. The only sort option that appears in LR mobile is by capture time. The custom sort order is available as an option for the collection on the Abobe website but not on the mobile app.

    You can change the sort type when you touch the Capture Type-label. So tab on the "Capture Time"-label and you will see the other sort options like "Modified Date", "Custom Order" etc.
    Hope that helps.

  • Option for IPTC "Date Created" field to be auto-populated?

    Hi,
    The date of capture is held within the "Date Time Original" field in the EXIF data; but the IPTC "Date Created" field is blank.
    Currently i have to fill this in manually  if i want it populated (which i have to do for a certain customer, for hundreds of differently dated images)  but i would really like a "replicate" button by which i can auto-populate this field; or someother easy workaround that i might be missing here?!?
    thanks,

    Hmm, both LR 3.6 and LR 4.0 normally set IPTC:DateCreated to be the same as EXIF:DateTimeOriginal, both on export and when you do Metadata > Save To File. 
    Perhaps you could post a culprit image here (use the camera icon) to see what might be going on with you.

  • BUG TEST: Duplicate Stacks in Custom-Sorted Albums?

    Before I submit this as an official bug report (through both the ADC site and the regular Feedback page), I’d be grateful to anyone who could take the time to try and replicate this strange behavior.
    (I’ve been able to reproduce it on machines in two different Apple Stores, but I’d like to see if it’s as easy to reproduce on other people’s home systems as well.)
    Here are the steps which seem to consistently work (i.e. which cause the problem) on my Mac Pro (running the latest version of Aperture under OS X 10.5.6):
    1) Create a new Album (from any arbitrary selection of a few pics from any Project); the Album can be at any level in the Inspector’s Projects pane, either within a particular Project or off in a separate Folder;
    2) Give that Album a name (don’t just leave as the default “Untitled”);
    3) View the Album’s contents in “Browser Only” mode, so you can see all its thumbs (this step isn’t necessary; it just makes what’s about to happen easier to see);
    4) The Album’s sorting order (the pull down list in the upper left) should be at the default setting of “Image Date”; change this option to “Custom” by dragging a few of the thumbs around to different positions. This step is critical.
    5) Now that your Album’s initial contents have been moved around to create a Custom sort order, make some selections of images from other Projects and add them to the new Album by dragging the selection onto the new Album’s name in the Inspector’s Projects pane...
    BUT FIRST... make sure these new selections include Stacks, and aren’t just single images only.
    If you’ve done all of the above steps -- and it may take a couple of tries -- re-select the new Album in the Inspector and see if there are MULTIPLE COPIES of the Stacks which just got dragged into it. There may be two copies of each Stack, or sometimes even more. And if there are copies, you won’t be able to simply delete the extra ones from the Album. The only two options you have (short of an Undo) are:
    a) Change the Album’s sort order to something other than “Custom” (which only helps until you switch it back to Custom again); or
    b) Un-Stack then re-select and Re-Stack each unique Stack which now appears two or more times;
    ...neither of which is a particularly acceptable workaround.
    If even just a couple of users can replicate this bug, I’ll at least know it isn’t just a bizarre coincidence between me and two separate Apple Stores when I write it up and submit it. Or if this is an already acknowledged and well-reported bug, please let me know that as well!
    Many thanks,

    I'm afraid I have an additional twist. In addition to multiple stack (sometimes 5-6 extras) I have "blanks": dotted rectangles. These have no thumbs, and the thumbs won't re-build. Oddly, if I click on the blank, dotted rectangle, a preview does appear after several seconds of a blank gray screen. The files are managed, and if I search "show in finder," they files are found. But there seems to be no way to make the thumbs appear.
    I have tried changing the sort order from "custom," but it doesn't affect the blanks.
    I've copied these stacks to a new project, and (I think) isolated the problem, but there are 800 of them and I don't relish re-importing them all.
    I have wasted days on this problem over the past months, and am very unhappy with this "professional" application.

  • IPTC data, keywords and captions

    I used lightroom 4 for all my tagging/labelling and uploading work at sporting events.
    It has always worked flawlessly and I was very happy with it, however, I just had to reset my laptop due to a harddrive failure so have had to download Lightroom 5 instead.
    I cannot seem to get the IPTC template to attach to the files when I import them.
    I usually setup a preset for the game I am at with some general keywords but most importantly the IPTC data for copyright and payment purposes.
    Today I was not able to get this data to copy to any of the imported files at all and had to do it all manually which is extremely frustrating and time consuming.
    To get the template into lightroom in the first place I used to save the .xmp file in a new folder.  Then I would copy a jpeg image into that same folder and name them the same file.  Then when I import the jpeg into lightroom I could see all the IPTC data and create a new template for each game/event from that.
    Can anyone advise please?!

    Hi Pete,
    Thanks for the email.
    Yeah I created the same template I would have done in lightroom 4. I usually save it and then apply it automatically to all images upon import but it simply wasn't attaching anything to them.
    I even tried syncing it across from other photos and it wouldn't copy.
    Do you have any suggestions or even a guide on how to make the iptc template from scratch?!
    I'm not shooting this weekend because I don't have it sorted yet but have a rugby match next weekend and the north east derby (Newcastle vs Sunderland) so need to sort it by then or I'll need to get photomechanic which I don't want to do!
    Thanks

  • JTable Custom sort

    That was a hassle signing up here; hopefully someone can help me after that :)
    I'm using a JXTable aka JTable, and wanting to add a custom sort to it. Basically I want to be able to sort a table like the JFileChooser, where puts the folders on top of the sort and then sorts by alphabetical.
    I tried searching around but couldn't find anything I want, or otherwise risk moving to a library which requires a lot of changes.
    So to sum it up how do I sort a column by my data and not the value of the cell?
    Any help will be grateful.

    Hello,
    That was a hassle signing up here; hopefully someone can help me after that :)Welcome to the forums. Yes generally newcomers are well received after they have survived the registration trial and won their "abnegation" feather.
    I'm using a JXTable aka JTableWrong start: JXTable is not JTable. JXTable is a class from a specific library (SwingX, right?). This class may or may not extend JTavle (probably it does), but it is not another name for JTable. There are certainly (correction: there are) specific capabilities and behaviors in JXTable that are not in JTable. I suggest you read the documentation for both APIs.
    and wanting to add a custom sort to it. Basically I want to be able to sort a table like the JFileChooser, where puts the folders on top of the sort and then sorts by alphabetical.The Swing tutorial provides examples for sorting techniques in JTable; I advise to to read it: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#sorting
    SwingX' JXTable probably has some specific sorting capabilities too. Please read its documenation.
    I tried searching around but couldn't find anything I want, or otherwise risk moving to a library which requires a lot of changes.You mean you didn't find anything about sorting in Swing, or in SwingX, or that you found something but that wasn't enough like what you needed?
    It the latter, then I suggest you post which approaches you found, and which is closest to what you want, and how it differs.
    So to sum it up how do I sort a column by my data and not the value of the cell?See the tutorial link I provided. Feel free to come back with more specific questions if you don't understand it.

  • Oracle UCM - Extract IPTC data from images

    Good Day,
    I'm hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm trying to extract IPTC data from images originating in lightroom and map that data into custom metadata fields on check in. I've installed content categorizer but it doesn't seem to grab the IPTC data. I sure hope someone out there will be able to lend me a hand.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Having '@' and '*' characters in the data will not make any difference if you are using a combined column separator of '|@|' - provided any process you use subsequently can handle it.
    However, the recsepchar parameter appears to be restricted to a single character which is repeated right across the page, so I don't think you could have a single iteration of '|*|' using this method:
    SQL> set  newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
    SQL> set recsep EACH
    SQL> set recsepchar '*'
    SQL> set colsep '|@|'

    Simply select your pictures, go to the Metadata menu, and choose Adjust date and time. Then EXIF data will be change and will work as expected.

    Here is the answer: Yes it is possible. Download the file, using option - File Download. File should include all key attributes & also attributes that needs to be updated. (Key here is to have appropriate assignment ID. )
    Use the same file for File Upload (modify attributes like Sort Key as required).
