Do I even need to script this? Adding metadata to Web Gallery...
I've been pulling my hair out over this for a few days, and apologize if this is mis-posted or obvious...
Bridge CS4, Adobe Output Module.
The galleries generated from this are lovely, but missing (to my eye) only one thing. I'm trying to figure out how to get the metadata "description" field to show up on the (non-"journal") pages.
It seemed that this was a fairly simple, obvious task. So the first question is, am I missing some way of doing this without scripting? It just seems a rather simple function, but I've been unable to locate an accessible option in the UI. I know that I can choose the "Journal" variants to get metadata displayed, but I really am looking for something fairly simple for general consumpton.
Assuming that I haven't missed anything, I have been looking at the code. I'm primarily a Python guy, so JavaScript isn't particularly far but nor is it something I'm completely comfortable with. I think that what I am really attempting to do is figure out how to access "description" in, say, the itemXML function in the AOM.AmgFlashGalleryCreator.writeGroupFile function. I'm unable to decypher the nature of the references in that module - presumably I'm looking for something like "image.description" or "AOM.AmgFlashGalleryCreator.groupItemMetadata(description)" but those aren't valid references.
The point of this exercise, by the way, is to put my time into annotating the images in XMP (i.e., in Bridge or Photoshop) for presentation rather than the last time I did a project like this where I modified the output html itself. Seems like this would be easier - or are those "famous last words"?
I think this is something either really difficult, or the answer was staring me in the face. The gallery output is really otherwise so dang close to what I need, but I really just want to fill that field (only) so as to caption the images I've got for my audience. And write the captions once.
Thanks for any pointers!
Thanks David I didn't know that. I can't afford it right now given that I just spent a ton of money on the new computer but I will save up for it.
By the way, I copy and pasted my project into a new sequence. It works great now and I do have RT playback for slow mototion, titles, etc. I think my initial problem was that my sequence was NTSC DV and trying to play my Offline RT photo jpeg clips that I captured. That caused it to require rendering.
All is good now.

Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?
when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?
You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions. -
After my Web Gallery is uploaded and I get additional images from subsequent shoots, I'd like to import and add them to the slideshow, then to the Web Gallery without having to re-type the Web Gallery info into the boxes again. Any way to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
Only if you use a separate FTP Client and just overwrite the originals with the Sharpened ones. Make sure you are replacing the correct ones or doing them all. Most Galleries from LR generate two or three Sizes.

hi
we are just now recieving our FCSVr and i would love to be able to add metadata in the field with the videographers on their laptops any ideas on workflow??? will "check in" be the way to bring this info back into the entire a facility?? also, what besides FCP are people using to make.movs from the .m2tUnless you have your FCSvr on your extranet, you'll need to script this somehow. You could write a webpage that subsequently writes an XML file, and then set up a response from FCSvr to read in that XML file. Or you can set up an email account that people email information to, and is parsed by a script and then writes out the XML file. Or, if they are sending in quicktime files, they can add annotations to the quicktime files. Setup a metadata map in FCSvr so that the annotations map to your custom metadata field.
Check out this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502389&tstart=15
As for the m2t from MOV, maybe something like Visual Hub? Does FCSvr not transcode the files? -
Adding music to slide show WEB GALLERY
I have added pics to web gallery, now i want music added when others are viewing.
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How did you make this gallery? Are you talking about a .Mac Gallery? These are only supported on v7 (iLife 08) and you'r posting in the v6 forum.

No one has been able to help me solve this problem even geeks on call
So please out there give me some good advice. This feels like a level 5
I have three computers at three different locations. The first one is a emac at my office running classic 9.2. The second location is a power book g4 running 10.4.5. at my home. The third is a power book g3 running OS 9.2.2at a third location.
What I am trying to do is to access my computer at my office from the other two locations. My office has two computers that are on a network and talk to each other. They are both EMAC"S. They are connected by a ethernet network which is connected to a DSL modem which keeps me on the Internet all the time.
At the other two locations I have direcway satellite which is broadband which also stays on all the time on the internet.
I need to be able to access a data base on my main computer at my office and run the program which is an Omnis 7 program. I have multi user capabilities for this program, so that all the computers can access the data files at the same time and reqad and write.
So this is my dileema.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
powerbook g3,emac Mac OS 9.2.x also 9.2 os, and 9.22 o.s.and 10.4

New! Re: I desperately need to solve this problem
Posted: May 17, 2006 6:08 PM in response to: drpresseyewell, at any or all of the locations you may need to open up the ports through your routers to allow ARD access.
Also, I'm wondering if you are experiencing problems between using old and new versions of remote desktop.
In any case, when you say you have multi-user capabilities, to me that implies that from location 2 and 3 you want to open the database file directly, not open it within an RDC session on a machine at location 1. That will be a different issue. Now you are talking about file shares over TCP/IP. -
my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?
There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.

This MacBook Pro (circa 2011) is the second Apple laptop I have owned with the exact same issue. When I change sites (or at least many of them), the Mac issues a single chime. I do not have any clue what this might be ... or if it even needs repairing if I can stand the chime.
If anyone has any ideas, I surely would love to hear! Many thanks!

1 January 1970 appears in my contacts as a duplication even though I have not added them myself, is this a virus? What should I do?
In my contacts, several contacts that I actually know have been duplicated using only the first name in this duplication. Also in the duplication, the birthday and anniversary are listed as 1 January 1970. I have not made these duplications...they have just appeared. Does this mean I have a virus? And if I do what should I do?

I would like to design a poster, when I place my photos on the page
under the "links" "colour space" section it says the colour space is RGB not CMYK even though my document is set up as CMYK. Can/do i need to change this? i am worried it will be a problem when my poster goes to the commercial printers who want CMYKYes, it will be a problem. Convert the images in Photoshop using the printer's color profiles or a standard CMYK profile.

I keep getting a pop-up notifying me that a newer version of Growl is available for download. I've never heard of Growl and I'm unaware if I even need it or use it. Is this a legitimate notification? Did Growl come on my new iMac?
Growl has a long development history, is popular and performs a useful function. Many of your background applications use it send messages to your screen that tell you all kinds of useful things (if you're interested). Some applications ask you if you want them to install Growl for you - you or someone using your Mac may have answered 'yes' a long time ago, or it may have occurred without your permission. In any event, you might set it uyp and give it a try for a while, I think it will grow on you. If not, just remove it.

Need a script to do the following... rename files based on folder name...
Hi. Macophile just starting to tread the waters of Applescript, trying to use Automator but don't think it will do what I need.
I have many images stored with-in folders that I would like to extrapolate a given number of characters from the folder name and Add Text to the files within those given folders.
Basically...
Folder name is C00100_Descriptive
Files within folder are just Descriptive_01, Descriptive_02
Would like to make all files within a given folder take the first 7 characters from the folder and Add that text to all files and files within subfolders of that folder to make the resulting files shown as...
C00100Descriptive01
C00100Descriptive02
Along with this I would also like to incorporate into the script, an added step to create Thumbnail jpegs of the image files in a Subfolder under C00100_Descriptive folder.
I can see how to do that in automator but not specifying parameters such as taking a certain number of characters from the folder the file resides in and adding that selected text to the files.
Ideally I would like a droplet or something that I could take a bunch of folders and drop them on the droplet to perform these actions.
Any advice, help or guidance would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.Awesome, you're quite welcome, glad to hear it worked for ya!! Here's another version of the script that will rename the thumb files as jpg...

Adding metadata at import --why is this much easier to do in LR?
Adding metadata at import time is a pain. The presets have helped a bit but Aperture still needs improvement. I have four areas of trouble:
1. In order to fill out a metadata preset I have to create a new temporary image version or risk changing the metadata for an existing master, fill out the fields, save the preset, delete the temporary version. I can't create a new metadata preset at the moment of import I have to do the steps above in advance of importing.
2. If i want to have a metadata view that has the 12 fields I use on import but only have 4 fields filled out in advance I can't do that without first selecting the preset then selecting the view with the blank fields.
3. In the import panel the image Information block, Files Location/filename block and Time Adjustment block take up so much room that on my MBP-15 the metadata block is nearly off the bottom of the screen.
4. Whatever metadata I use must apply to all images. There is no way to have different metadata for different images at the time of import. This requires me to open the project to add image specific metadata after import or run the import more than once for different images.
If anyone has workflow solutions or workarounds for theses bottlenecks please let me know. Here is hoping that v2 will improve on these points.I guess I had
a problem with the title of this question.
Some men see things as they are
and ask "Why?" I dream things that
never were and ask, "Why not?"

Sorry if I gave offense. I wasn't trying to start a flame war about Aperture vs. LR or whatever-that's not enlightening. I expect that for many years to come Aperture will be my primary digital imaging workspace.
I am still tinkering with Lightroom and will do so until my demo version expires in 25 more days. I think that Aperture is a dramatically better program than Lightroom. I think that over the next couple of years the gap will widen even further and the advantages of Apple's sound engineering decisions will really start to show up in v2 v3 and beyond.
Still when I work in the current version of Lightroom I find myself processing images more quickly and spend less time fiddling around with the program's UI than while working in Aperture. I have noticed other posts commenting on the same thing.
If there are other users who like me love Aperture but find their work going faster in Lightroom doesn't it make sense for us to have a discussion with each other to find out...why?
