Custom XMP Panels not working in CS4

I'm trying to develop my first Flex based XMP Panel for CS4.  I'm on Windows Vista.
I downloaded the SDK (4.4.2) and created a panel, it compiles and previews fine with Flex Builder 3.
If I add the panel to CS4 (manually or through Flex Builder 3) then the Panel just shows up blank in the PhotoShop FileInfo window.  Many of the other panels also appear blank until I remove the panel.
I tried copying the sample panels that came with the SDK and they all show up as blank and most of the other default panels are blank too.  Basically, any custom panels cause the FileInfo dialog to stop working properly.
What am I doing wrong?

Dear forum user,
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.
Kind regards
Jörg

  • Convert CS3 XMP Panels to work with CS4

    I have a series of custom XMP panels which we wrote to work with CS3. Now that we are about to migrate the balance of our users to CS4 and shortly everyone to CS5, I see that these panels no longer work. What is the easiest way to migrate these panels.
    Thanks in advance,
    Morgan

    Hi,
    we have made an experimental java tool to convert CS3 to CS4/5 panels.
    Please find it attached and try it out if you like -- but I can offer no warranty :-)
    Note that the approach is limited when it comes to the layout of the panel.
    You need to adjust the generated MXML code.
    It works as follows:
    1. Find your CS3 panel (a txt file) and can call
    java -jar EvePanelConverterApp.jar {Eve Input File} {MXML Output File}
    The tool converts the panel based on an EVE (ZEVE) definition to an MXML file.
    2. Use the XMP FileInfo SDK, create a new panel project using the "Custom Panel Wizard" and stuff the generated MXML file into it.
    3. Adjust the design, compile and deploy.
    Please let me know, if it worked for you or if you have questions or problems.
    -- Stefan

  • Bugs: open new doc, custom XMP panel crash

    When opening a new document after starting Photoshop, it appears with half a checkboard pattern:
    Drawing on it looks like below:
    I also had an issue where I closed the doc (without saving) after drawing, then opened a new doc. The previous drawing then appeared partially twice (large, and a small version in top left corner) in the new doc, this only happened once though.
    I added a custom XMP panel that works fine with CS5 to $user-dir\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels
    On selecting the custom panel, in the File Info window, the panel window / CS6 crashes. (The grey window in the sshot below is an imprint of the irfanview settings I used to take these screenshots, this imprinting behaviour (not sure if it has a proper name) is reasonably common with crashed programs).

    According to Nvidia's website, I already have the latest drivers installed (I updated them just a few days ago). I turned off hardware acceleration as you suggested, and that fixed the problem.
    You can download the XMP panel that causes the crash from: http://www.iliveinabin.com/image-xmpPanel%20v2.zip That contains the source for the panel and also the compiled panel I'm using, which is in the target folder.

  • Custom XMP panels don't show in Bridge CS4's Metadata palette

    I've got a CS4 custom XMP panel working (using the "Generic" panel in the SDK) but I can't get it to display in the metadata palette of Bridge CS4 (the thing normally bottom right in the default Bridge "essentials" view).
    In the old CS3 format, you could do this by adding an "fbname" attribute to fields of the custom panel. How do we now do this in the new SDK?
    The Bridge metadata palette is mentioned on page 25 of the SDK programmer's guide, but the example given is merely of Dublin Core keywords (i.e. dc:subject) so shows in the Bridge metadata palette by default already.

    Following on from this question, is it possible to build up a Metadata panel group of fields drawn from different namespaces? (by group I mean something like the IPTC Core label and arrow which expands into the IPTC fields).
    One would have a heading such as "My data", which when expanded shows x fields from one namespace #1 and y fields from namespace #2. I've tried to do this by leaving the namespace blank and hardcoding it and the prefix into the properties' name argument - eg http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/photoshop:Urgency
    Hope this isn't a hijack!

  • Using SDK to create custom XMP panel in Bridge CS4

    Using the SDK materials how exactly does one go about creating their own custom XMP panel for Bridge CS4?
    I feel like I'm getting close- I was able to copy the BasicControlSamplePanel folder from SDK to my local C drive @
    C:\Documents and Settings\tony\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels
    I figure once that file is in the right place I can simply modify it to get custom fields
    Now when I did this I noticed in Bridge when rightclicked on an image and clicked file info- the  BasicControlSamplePanel tab was visible but upon clicking on BasicControlSamplePanel tab there was nothing in this dialogue box. Tried restarting computer- and still nothing- seems like it is the correct folder what do I need to do to get the properties to show up
    Help please
    Thanks

    Hi Tony,
    please refer to the section "Creating custom XMP properties using XML" in the XMP FILEINFO SDK PROGRAMMER’S GUIDE for information how to create custom panels for the metadata panels in applications like Bridge or Premiere.

  • Custom Metadata Panels from CS3 to CS4.

    I have install CS4 on my Vista Ultimate PC. It runs like a dream. However there is now a new format for the custom metadata panels. I have two panels that I created in CS3 that I need to convert to the new format. Is there an easy way to do this?
    The CS3 files are txt files that all I had to do was copy to the proper directory and they appeared. Thanks.
    Fred

    Thanks Gunar,
    I already had my custom XMP panel for my server product for InDesign. I tried to create a CS4 compatible panel on MacPro (Mac OS X 10.5.5 3GB RAM) using every possible method from the XMP FileInfo SDK pdf - it didn't work. The panel did show up in the dialog, but not the fields. Not only this, all fields also disappeared from some other panels. After I removed my custom panel, everything went back to normal.
    I tried:
    -Generic panel method - the fields didn't show up
    -The Flex SDK method: when I run
    ant built.xml
    I got the "Target "build.xml" does not exist in the project "TestPanel"." error (I checked many times - all the files were where they're supposed to be, and I run it from the correct directory).
    -I downloaded Flex Builder, followed all the steps - the fields didn't show up, and fields in other panels disappeared.
    The idea of building the panel interface interactively is great - I hope it will ever work.
    Any ideas of why it didn't work for me?
    While we're on this, I think that the new tabbed interface for the File Info dialog is a huge step back. You already had a great interface, with the list of panel names on the left side - which is easy to use and is standard through many Adobe dialogs.
    The multi-tab approach for many items proved to be inefficient long time ago. Right now you created a dialog that works like a dilaog in QuarkXPress 4 - what's the point?
    To support the new tabbed interface, you had to introduce TWO new "arrow" controls, none of which is user-friendly, and which make a simple task of choosing a panel extremely confusing.
    The new feature of changing panel position by dragging is great, but it could be also achieved through the side list approach.
    Bottom line: could you please restore the side list approach. I think it will help advance the XMP technology further and encourage people to actually use it , instead of doing exactly the opposite.

  • XMP panels not showing up in CC

    We created custom XMP panels before. I now want them to show up in CC. I can get the tab open to show the file (this happens when I "Get Info" on the InDesign page), but it crashes InDesign and won't show the fields. Do I need to update the Flash file, or get to a different location? Is it the permissions? Am I just crazy?
    In CS6, here's where I'd put stuff:
    UI for XMP panels:
    Mac\Library\Application Support\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info\Panels\3.0\panels\IEEECS\bin\IEEECS.swf
    or
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels
    Where am I putting these things in CC? Am I putting it here?
    /Users/ME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
    I'm tired of crashing my InDesign CC. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hmm....I updated my Flash. Using Mac OS 10.8.5. Didn't work. I can open the other File Info Panels and manipulate them, but the second I try to use mine, I get the blank screen and I have to Force Quit out of InDesign cc.
    I have no problems using my panels on my PC. This is frustrating, but not sure how to solve it. Obviously I can see the main panel, but just not the actual fields. So I must have it in the correct place.
    Other than Flash, any other suggestions? I'll try to ask around. Thanks!

  • Why do my panels not work in CC 2014

    I made my own panels in CC but they don't work in CC 2014. I miss them.

    It's the latter. Thank you for answering my question.

    Are you talking about a custom workspace, or actual panels made with Configurator?  If the former, then go Preferences > Sync settings.  If the latter, then those Flash panels no longer work in CC 2014.  Check out any of the multiple threads about Extensions being greyed out.

  • Central (web based?) location for custom XMP panels

    We maintain 3 custom XMP panels for a global network of photographers & DAM's. We'd like to be able to update our custom XMP panels (say add new drop down choices,) and have those immediately reflected globally. If Bridge checked a central resource (say a website) for what should be the most up to date version of an XMP panel, we would have an easier time managing the process.

    Yes, the ability to subscribe to centrally-published custom XMP file info panels from CS apps would be extremely helpful, and since the CS4 panels are just XML files, a simple mechanism such as a subscription to an RSS feed would probably do the trick.

  • Add support for custom xmp panels

    Please add support for custom xmp panels.
    Thanks

    I would strongly support that too!!!
    Here is why: We have been working at an XMP implementation of the Darwin Core to support standardized metadata on biodiversity information. Have a look here. I would love to have an Panel in Lightroom to support the metadata that I am embedding with IDImager:

  • Custom XMP Panel with "pulldowns" in Bridge

    Hello,
    I have a custom XMP panel built that is visible in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, which is nice.
    I can view this custom XMP panel in Bridge as well, however the fields with pulldown menus don't show in Bridge. Being able to use pulldowns is critical for our workflow...AND I want people to be able to use Bridge for metadata entry. Does anyone have a solution for this?
    I want fields with pulldowns in my custom XMP panel to be viewable and editable in Bridge. Help!!
    Thanks
    Rob

    Bridge's metadata panel only supports plain-text fields for custom metadata. See the following article on how to submit and feature request to Adobe via the feature request form:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/800/e8008c68.html
    I assume you already know that you can open the File Info dialog itself directly within Bridge for a selection of one or more files, yes? The same custom File Info panel that appears in Photoshop's File Info panel will appear in Bridge. To open File Info in Bridge, use the File or thumbnail-contextual menus or the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Opt+Shift+I.
    If you really require a highly customized metadata UI right inside the Bridge window (File Info is a modal dialog box), and you are willing to invest some coding effort, then I suggest using Flex Builder to create a custom Flash Panel for Bridge. You will have to take on some non-trivial work to sync up what's displayed/edited in your custom panel with the current selection of Thumbnails, etc., but such a solution should be technically possible. The Bridge Scripting SDK includes example for how to add a Flash panel, how to get your Flash ActionScript and Bridge JavaScript to talk to each other via the Flash External Interface, and how to use the XMPScript API to modify metadata for files. Again, I think the effort required is non-rivial, but Bridge does provide a platform upon which you can build a highly customized solution.

  • Safari 5.1 customized keyboard shortcut not working

    I've just updated safari on snow leopard and my customized keyboard shortcut: go to next/previous panel (ctrl -> and ctrl <-) don't work anymore even if i set them in my system preferences

    I'm also experiencing issues with custom keyboard shortcuts not working after the update to Safari 5.1. I had no problems with the previous version of Safari.... I wish I had not updated.

  • Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

    I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
    When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
    1. opens first page
    2. turns specific layer on
    3. prints using preset
    4. exports using preset
    5. close without saving
    6. next page
    Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.
    on open sourceFolders
    repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders
    tell application "Finder"
    try
    -- If you would like to include subfolders, you say - every file of entire contents of folder…
    set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias list
    on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
    set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
    end try
    end tell
    if idFiles is not {} then
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
    set user interaction level to never interact
    repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
    open item i of idFiles
    tell document 1
    try
    set visible of layer "ImagesTag_Layer" to true
    end try
    set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
    with timeout of 700 seconds
    print using myPreset without print dialog
    end timeout
    set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
    set myName to the name -- name includes .indd should remove at some point          
    with timeout of 700 seconds
    export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
    end timeout
    close without saving
    end tell
    end repeat
    set user interaction level to interact with all
    end tell
    end if
    return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
    end repeat
    end open

    (Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
    First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
    set user interaction level to never interact
    you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
    A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
    set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
    set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use 
    Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?

  • Anchor links to accordion panels not working properly across browsers

    Hi everyone,
    I need some help to figure out why my anchor links  to specific accordion panels on another page are not working properly  across browsers.
    I have a Map page which has tooltips on  mouseover on the site markers. 15 of the tooltips have "Click here for  information" anchor links (although only 14 are currently linked) which,  in theory, would take you to the Nurseries page where the specified  accordion panel would be opened with the nursery entry appearing at the  top of the new browser window.
    Here are the links to the Map page and Nurseries page, respectively:
    www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/map_v6.html
    www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html
    I've  tested the anchor links on IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, and  have received varying results. In most cases, the anchor links worked  perfectly on two of the browsers, while on the other browsers, the  correct accordion panel is opened but the nursery entry does not appear  at the top of the new browser window. Anchor links using Safari and  Google Chrome fared better (10 out of 14 links worked properly, and  8/14, respectively), whereas when using Firefox and IE, only 3 anchor  links worked properly. The target audience for this website will be  using IE and Firefox, so I  would appreciate any help to figure out how to tweak the code so that  the most, if not all, anchor links work properly on these two browsers  in particular.
    Here's an anchor link which worked perfectly in  IE, GC, and Safari, but in FF, the entry did not appear at the top of  the new browser window.
    www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem
    http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem [To access the anchor link on the Map page, mouseover the third green  dot from the top of the map (Tooltip--Location: Mangatarem) and then  click on "Click here for information."]
    Here's a sample anchor link in which the entry did not appear at the  top of the new browser window in any of the 4 browsers:
    www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel
    http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to "Mindanao" at the  bottom of the map and mouseover the fourth green  dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION:        Brgys. Amabel, Bongolanon, Imamaling, & Manobisa; Magpet;        North Cotabato) and then  click on "Click here for information."]
    Here's a sample anchor  link in which the anchor link worked properly in GC and Safari, but the  entry didn't appear at the top of the browser window in IE and FF:
    www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar
    http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to the small island  north and a bit west of "Mindanao" which is called "Bohol" and mouseover  the fourth green  dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Bilar; Bohol) and then   click on the first "Click here for information."]
    Many thanks in  advance for your assistance!
