Editing SharePoint metadata for Visio files

When I am editing Visio files metadata in SharePoint 2007, it opens a web dialog page to enter the metadata for the SharePoint library, but, when a column field is type: choice-drop down menu. It doesn't take current metadata for those fields, so, the current
metadata has to be chosen again. Is there any technical document that explains this?
It also takes too much time to open Visio templates in SharePoint, it doesn't happen with Visio standard files, the solution was to uncheck automatically detect settings, but is there any other solution?
I am using Windows 7, Office 2010, Visio 2010 and Internet Explorer v8.

Hi Javi,
thank for the reply,
after some discussion, trial and research, seems there is a process that is missed.
as i know, when we check out the document the metadata itself cannot be edited. so then while we already saved the metadata, as by design the web file properties will be out and the metadata needs to be re-input again, as they will not be passed on check
in process.
so, this behavior is most likely by design, if you need to customize this then i think you need to open a ticket to us.
"By default you cannot edit MetaData in case the document is checked-out - which is by design and acceptable. But if you open up a checked-out document from a WSS doclib and edit it in Word and click File > Save As - in order to save the document back
into WSS - you are prompted for typing in MetaData (Web File Properties). In case you change or fill out some of them and in order to see them reflected on the WSS page you have to check-in the document again - which you will be ask for to do while closing
the office application btw.
If you keep the document checked-out the metadata are not reflected on the WSS page and are hidden (stored somewhere...) to the user. Users are confused because they cannot see the Metadata they typed in until they check-in the document. This wasn´t necassary
with SPS2001 where we could see the changes we made to metadata immediately on the dashboard. And as Joerg also mentioned bad user experience - we create unnecessary versions as we have to check-in the document which creates an additional version.
Solution here would be: either to reflect the changed MetaData immediately without the need to check-in the document or to avoid the Web File Properties Dialog box while performing a Save As of a checked-out document. "

Unable to edit metadata for some files, Bridge CS6

I am editing metadata for .wav files, and somehow a few of them have become locked for editing. I have checked the properties for these files and still have full permissions for all users.
As you can see in the screen capture below, the pencil icons you click to edit the metadata are gone and an error message comes up. Thanks for any help you can give!

Wow, I just answered my own question...
After an hour trying to figure this out, I decided to just go ahead and edit the images, but "Edit in Camera Raw" was not an option. So, I went to Tools \ Cache \ Purge Cache for Folder "xxx"
Problem solved.

Possible to edit the metadata for iTunes music?

I'm trying to consolidate my iTunes libraries from 3 computers onto one. I used senuti to transfer my music from my MBP and another iMac onto my main iMac via my iPod and must not have specified that I wanted to import the metadata along with the tunes themselves. I now need to sort my music by "date added" and find that a whole chunk of my library shows the date/time of the senuti imports instead of the date the songs were originally added to iTunes. As a result, since all of the imported songs show the exact same date and time of being added, when I sort by "date added" I get a long alphabetical listing of all the songs I imported, instead of listing them album-by-album.
Is there a way to edit the metadata for the music I senutied, so I can have the correct "date added" info for the albums?

Sorry I wasn't clear about the Time Machine reference. I was explaining my reluctance to roll back to a previous version of my main library if the changes I had made to the MBP library were going to prevent me from importing its .xml.
Chris CA wrote:
Once you import the songs, you should be able to import the iTunes library.xml file from the other libraries to update this info with the songs you just added.
How exactly do I do this? As a test, I tried making a new library and importing just a few songs, all of which came in with today's date. Using the WAG approach to importing the .xml, I tried using "add to library" and selecting the .xml of the real iTunes library. Nothing happened. I then tried "import playlist" and selecting the real library's .xml, which triggered the import of all of my songs, all with today's date. I suppose that today's date could be a function of using a just-created library for my test, but...
Clearly my guesses were off the mark, so I could use a little more guidance.

'Edit in Place' for XLSM-files (Excel Macro-Enabled)

Hi,
is it possible to activate 'Edit in Place' for xlsm-files (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook file)?
For xls(x)-files there is the link 'Edit This File', but not for files of type 'xlsm' allthough they could be dealt the same way with Excel.
I know I can edit this files using the 'Add-in for MS Office' and via the 'Vibe Desktop', but it would be nice to deal them like other Excel-files.
thx
Martin

Yeah, the Vibe docs can help on occasion
Still, thanks for feeding it back to the forums as it can be quicker finding a hit in the forums than having to go through the docs!

Read metadata for a file without Photoshop or Bridge

Hi
Suppose I have a file in desktop called "test.jpg". So I create this variable:
var myFile = new File ("~/Desktop/test.jpg");
This file has some keywords and instructions I need to read. And if the reading process finds the correct keyword, then it copies the file to the appropriated folder. Well, in resume, I could do everything directlly using #target estoolkit. I´d not like to involve (opening) Photoshop or Bridge.
Is it possible to read the metadata of a file without targetting Bridge or Photoshop? Reading the reference I did not find any method or property for this, expect for the metadata library. BUT
If I try to load the metadata library using:
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
then it sure will returns an error file or folder does not exists..
Any idea how I could proceed to load this library and read the metadata of a file directlly?
Thank you very much
Best Regards
Gustavo.

Hi friends
Thank you very much for your inputs. Muppet....what do you mean when you write The modified date gets bumped and can be a PITA? What means "PITA"?
So, if it´s impossible to invoke [directly] the default library without targetting Bridge or Photoshop...I´ll simplify the things and use Bridge to house the script. No problem.
So, look at what I´m doing:
#target bridge
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
var test = new File ("~/Desktop/Test.jpg");
var xmp = test.metadata;
alert(xmp);
...But, the alert in Adobe Bridge is returning nothing (""). And I know this image exists and it has metadata.
I remember to use metadata for reading the currently selected image in Content panel of Bridge (and it worked), but never tried direrctly declaring a file and reading this way.
Am I missing anything obvious?
Thank you very much
Gustavo.

Batch Listing Metadata for Offline Files

Hello all -
I'm using Premiere CC 2014 on OSX. I'm trying to do a batch list export of the metadata for a few dozen offline clips in my project.
Here are the details:
I need the filenames and video ins and outs (NOT the media start and end) for all of my media files to put in a spreadsheet for archival purposes. I don't actually have access to the media itself - just to the project file.
When I do a batch export by highlighting all of the files and going to File>Export>Batch List, the only three columns that export are the filename and the media start and end. I'm hoping to get an export with all of the columns of metadata so that I can narrow it down to just the data I need. Basically, this is the info that I want to be able to put in a spreadsheet:
And this is what I'm getting when I do the batch list export:
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

Bridge won't save metadata for .mov files

Hi.
I could be trying to do something that Bridge can't do (though I have read that it should). I am trying to add metadata to .mov files. Bridge allows me to enter the text both under 'File info' and in the Metadada IPTC Core fields, however when I 'apply' or click OK they don't save.
Well, in the IPTC Core when I click 'apply' they are there until I select another file then go back and they aren't.
I am using Bridge CS5 on a PC with XP.
Thanks

Thanks Curt Y. Under 'run as' there was two options both of which were noted as administrator - though I could only use one as we don't have the password for the other. I'm not using an external drive.
The strange thing is that there is no problem applying the metadata to images, just mov files.

Lost editing history (Metadata?) during file transfer

I had a recent HD failure - luckily everything was backed up, but in transferring backed up data to new disk array I have somehow lost all my editing history. After transferring the files to the new disk, I opened the most recent catalog that was backed up and whilst I can access all the files, none of the old metadata is present.
I have been "fiddling" for a while trying to fix this, I suspect I have made it all worse but I have tried to synchronize folders in Library but to no avail.
Does anyone have a potential solution?
If it helps, I have about 32000+ photo files occupying about 640 GB, MAC OS Snow Leopard.
thanks in advance

If you have synchronised meta data then you will have over written any meta data in the original catalog. If you wrote out your metat data to file then this shouldn't be a problem but will be if you didn't. You may want to try opening another older back up.

Editing old msWord (for windows) files on iPad?

I just bought an iPad2. My last computer was a Windows pc. I have lots of old MSWord files I'd like to open and edit on my iPad. How can I do that? What is the best app for writing and editing text files?

Hi
If they are in a .DOC format, then you should be able to read them on your iPad 2, but you will need an App from the App Store.
Such apps are iWork Pages, Office to Go & QuickOffice.

Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
Thanks

In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

Metadata for file

How to create a custom metadata for a file/document to be uploaded to KM and use just that metadata in search.
Kiran

Hi,
I defined some new metadata but it doesn't show up in the advanced TREX search. The properties are marked as indexable and the search index was reindexed.
Where should I enter this search query? In the "Filter by Custom Properties" in the Advanced Search screen or is there some dropdown list to choose from? When I enter the string in the "Filter by Custom Properties" field no results are found...
We didn't define a bundle file yet, the properties still use their technical key (e.g. company_division), could this be the problem?
I use the technical key in the "Filter by Custom Properties" or should I find the properties in the "Filter by Predefined Properties" dropdown box (if so, why don't they show up)?

Bridge CS3 not writing metadata to JPEG files

For the last couple of months (without my noticing until a couple days ago) all JPEG files that I have edited using Bridge CS3 (on Windows XP) do not have the metadata built into the file. Here are the symptoms: use "File Info" to edit the metadata for a JPEG file (i.e. add a title, description, copyright info, etc.), all appears normal, but if you do any of the following, the metadata you entered disappears:
- duplicate (the metadata does not exist in the duplicate file)
- move or copy to another folder
- open in Photoshop or any other software that can read metadata (File Info shows none of the metadata you entered)
- rebuild the cache for the folder
Strangely, the metadata still appears with the file when you look at it in Bridge as long as you don't do any of the above.
This is really awful as I've put a lot of time into entering this metadata for hundreds of files. Older files (pre-Nov 08) don't have this problem and the metadata is "sticky" and doesn't get deleted. So, somehow my Bridge CS3 got corrupted along the way.
Has anyone experienced this and more importantly -- do you have a solution? I've tried reseting all Bridge settings (but that of course purged the cache and deleted all my metadata.)

Hey,
There are various date/time fields shown in properties panel in Organizer. The dates mentioned in general section are read from OS whereas the dates in EXIF field are read from image's EXIF data. In EXIF data there are three date/time fields-
1. Date time- This date/time info shows date modified of EXIF properties. So when you are writing a tag into imags's IPTC, you are doing some change in EXIF data. Hence this date should change to date when you are writing a tag into IPTC.
2. Date time original - Represents date time when a image was shoot.
3. Date digitized - Represents the date when the image was digitized (in digital camers there is hardly some delay between an image is shoot and it is digitized. So this field is always same as date original).
So, in your scenario, Date time in EXIF should change whenever you are writing any tag into its IPTC.
Please let me know if you need more info on it.

Why doesn't Lightroom 4 create xmp files for mov files?

This would be useful for moving files to other applications and databases. As far as I can tell Adobe doesn't share any metadata for .mov files between any of it's CS6 programs either, Bridge, Prelude, Premiere, etc. As a still photographer who is now shooting DSLR video I want to get metadata entered as soon as possible for my still and video files. It would be best to do both stills and video at the same time. Camera Bits Photo Mechanic is the only program I've found so far that does this. Canto Cumulus is able to read Photo Mechanic's xmp files. I don't really need Photo Mechanic in my workflow except for this issue.

Familiarize yourself with this table
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The Olympus E-P5 was first supported by Lightroom 5.
There is no backward compatibility with Lightroom 4.
So your choices:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5
Download the free DNG converter, convert all the Raw files from the E-P5 to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4

ITunes freezes when editing video metadata

Hi,
So I am trying to organize my video library and to do so I need to edit the metadata for the video files. When I do this, iTunes just stops responding.
All my video files are located on my server.
I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to try and fix this.
Tried googleing for an answer for awhile but no luck.
Anyone know a fix to this?

Codec packs are notorious for causing iTunes problems.
Try searching c:\windows\SysWOW64 for files with Quicktime in the name.
There should be just two:
Quicktime.qts
QuicktimeVR.qtx
If there are any other files or folders, try dragging them to the desktop ot any temporary folder.
Does that make any difference.
After doing that, do you have the latest Quicktime installed, if not update it.

Earlier versions of Quicktime can upset iTunes.
