EOS utility file name preference problem

I have a EOS 7d and a Rebel XSI for several years.
I have had EOS Utility set up to put
the DR_ prefix on files from the rebel and 7D_ prefix on that camera.
This was done in the preferences Fine Name tab.
Worked like a charm for several years.
Now it does not work, when I plug in the 7D after
having downloaded frm the Rebel, the 7D_ rather thad DR_ prefix
shows up in the name in the File Name tab.
This is true even though the top of the main page says
E)S Utility - EOS 7D
That is, it recognized the camera to be the 7D
but shill has the Rebel preference values.
Am I doing something wrong, or has something changed?

JimEngel,
On your desktop, right-click and select [Personalize]. Click on [Display], then look at what the size is set to. Is it set to [Larger 150%] or [Smaller 100%]? Please make sure it is set to [Smaller 100%].
Also, since the settings seem to be reversed, connect one camera and adjust the settings to where they need to be. Then, confirm the settings, close EOS Utility and disconnect the camera in that order. Do the same for the other camera. Are the settings still reversed?
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

EOS Utility question - checked preference won't 'stick'!

When I had Windows XP, I checked the 'Start EOS Utility when teh camera is connected' box in Preferences, and that's exactly what happened. It worked every time.
Now that I have Windows 7, I find that when I check this box in Preferences, it's not checked the next time I look, and I always have to start the utility manually.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Same problem- EOS Utility will not automatically launch nor save preferences for my two different cameras, regardless of whether the cameras are appropriately connected and powered on. Everything is currently appropriately updated according to Canon site (downloads, drivers, etc). Worked seamlessly with old Digital Rebel XT. I *can* manually launch EOS Utility and download my photos for both units. This is simply a difficulty with establishing automatica launch and download function. AutoPlay settings for Windows doesn't list EOS Utility as an AutoPlay program option for the Rebel T2i. The EOS M doesn't show up at all as a device in the AutoPlay/Device menu. Windows 7 - 64 bit Canon EOS M Canon EOS Rebel T2i Anyone found a way to get these two bits of technology to recognize and communicate with each other better?

Dynamic file name creation problem

Hi Friends,
I had a requirement where i had to generate file name at target side with the following format
" raw_text_yyyymmddhhmmss.txt" . This can be acheived by using "currentdate" function but there is no field at target side which holds this value, if there was a field then i would have used variable substitution method to generate the file name.Another option is Dynamic Configuration UDF already
my root node is mapped to some src field say FLD1 based on which i will be getting multiple files.
How to customise this udf to get current date as filename for multiple target files:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
String Outputfile = conf.put(key,a);
return Outputfile;
Regards,
Vinod.

Hi Nityanand,
Your solution is right but actually problem here is recently a slight change was made for file name it should be "raw_text_yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.txt" by using variable substitution we get file name as this format "raw_text_yyyymmddhhmmss.txt" .
@Prateek: I cant give Currentdate as direct input to udf becoz we are generating files based on a certain field from source side.We are sorting this multiple source fields and generating target files.
Any suggestions.....
Regards,
Vinod.

Iphoto file name / title problem

Trying to figure out why titles are not consistent. Some batches show the .JPG or .CRW extension in the title and some batches do not. What is the cause, and is there a way to force the extension to either display or not for all photos in the library.
Also, unrelated, I realized that at some point my file numbers got screwed up. Specifically, after the import that ended with MG0718, the next import started with file MG7054. Some 1000 photos later I noticed. I'd like to be able to renumber these. And if I can , I'd then like to get (trick) my camera into saving new photos, starting with maybe MG2000.
IPHOTO 6.0.6
Thanks for any help.

rtpeters:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First, you've posted in the iPhoto 08 forum and may not get the responses you'd would in the iPhoto 6 forum.
As far as numbering is concerned that's a camera issue an I don't know of any way to set a start point in any camera. FWIW here's how I handle file naming:
1 - I upload to a folder on the desktop.
2 - date and name the folder: 03/08/08-Temecula Rod Show. This will give me an event with the same title when imported.
3 - I use R-Name to batch rename the files with the date taken and a brief description: 2008-03-08-TemRodShow-01.jpg.
4 - import the folder.
That avoids problems down the line with duplicate file names during exporting. It also gives me excellent chronological sorting and searching.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

1Ds Mark III + Teathered + EOS Utility + Lightroom = CRASH

I picked up my 1Ds Mark III on Monday got it home test it out and everything seemed to work just fine including teathering the camera to the MacBook Pro. Tonight I wanted to test out a couple other features and really check the files out. However I ran into some problems.
First thing I noticed was as soon as the shutter was fired and the image transfers to the computer you get a new window Quick Preview and its just that a quick preview of the image. If you close the quick preview it does not come back the next time you fire the camera.
However if you have Lightroom running and set up to watch a folder and then automatically move the images to another folder (which is required in LR) and the Canon Quick Preview comes up, it will lock the camera up and the blue download status bar stays blue. The next time you fire the shutter you see a Busy symbol with a yellow triangle and an explanation mark in the camera software window. You will no longer be able to download or teather more images.
If this does happen Ive either had to quit or force quit all applications, disconnect the camera and then restart EOS Utility (Leaving lightroom closed) fire the shutter with EOS utility and let the Quick Preview come up then close the quick preview and finally restart Lightroom.
In my opinion its that Quick Preview and Lightroom that are conflicting. Quick Preview is trying to show you the file and Lightroom is trying to move the file to a new folder. The EOS Utility does have preferences for Linked Software I even changed that to None and still the same problem.
Im going to call Canon again tomorrow to go over this in more detail now that Ive found out exactly what causes it and how to work around it, but in my opinion this is a bug and we should be able to turn that Quick Preview Off.
Thanks
Mark

To answer a couple questions I received:
Question:
What computer are you using ? what Mac OS ? did you use the software that came with the 1ds Mark III or did you download/install the latest updates on Canon web site ? Are you using a USB extension cord ?
Answer:
I'm using a 15inch MacBook Pro 2.1 GHz processor with 2 gigs of memory Mac OSX 10.4.11. I'm using the software that came with the camera and since it was just released in the past week and half the software should be current and I did not see anything new updates on the Canon website. The only way to teather the camera is with USB.
Question:
Make sure that you've linked software turned off in EOS Utility.
Answer:
Linked software was turned off. I even tried turning it on and then off. I even tried linking Lightroom, but that just brought up the import dialog box and wanted to import every time I fired the shutter instead of just auto importing.
I still really feel that the conflict is with the Quick Preview and Lightroom trying to move that file while Quick Preview is up.
Either Canon should give us the ability to permanently turn Quick Preview off or Lightroom needs not to move those images in the watch folder ( I never really understood why lightroom requires that after auto import that it has to move the images from the watch folder).

Regarding file name in the target system

Hi..
I have got a file name releated problem in XI.
I have configured a flow in XI system using proxy and after mapping process creates a output file in target machine as a "Test<Date-Time Satmp>.dat".
Test is the file name and adding date-time stamp to that.
I am using file adapter.
Now my requiremnt is that instead of "Test<Date-Time Satmp>.dat", I need to create a file as
"<Date-Time Satmp>Test.dat" .
Please let me know if anyone has come across similar situation.It is urgent.
I know there is an option to create dynamic file names in file adapter but i think it isn't enought to solve my problem.

Hi jahangir laskar,
For the Receiver communication channel, (file adapter)
Enter in the fields
1. Under File Access Parameters section,
File Name Scheme : test.dat
2. Under Processing Parameters
File Construction Mode : Add Time Stamp
This should work, i just tested it out.

is there anyone to help

Its a warning. You can ignore it, and your program will run correctly.
To get the full details, follow the instructions and run it with Xlint:
javac -Xlint:unchecked beans\CustomerManager.javaProduces this error message:
beans\CustomerManager.java:19: warning: [unchecked] unchecked call to add(E) as a member of the raw type java.util.List
 rv.add(getCustomer(String.valueOf(i)));
 ^
1 warningIt is a Java1.5 specific warning because you are not using the new Generics info with the collections.
Here is the version that compiles with no warnings whatsoever.
package beans;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class CustomerManager
 public List<Customer> getCustomers()
 return generateCustomers();
 private List<Customer> generateCustomers()
 List<Customer> rv = new ArrayList<Customer>();
 for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
 rv.add(getCustomer(String.valueOf(i)));
 return rv;
 public Customer getCustomer(String id)
 return new Customer(id, id + "First", "Last" + id,
 "123 Caroline Road Fooville");
}Basically the change was everywhere you have List or ArrayList replace it with List<Customer> - meaning you have a List of customer objects, rather than just a List of "anything"
If you are compiling with jdk1.5, then anywhere you use a Collection without specifying the types in this manner, it will create a warning.
You can ignore the warning if you so wish, and the program should run fine.

Utility or script "each clip = new movie and let media file = name"

I've found out that if I want to split a clip at the playhead and make it a new AS-IS original with a unique media file name designation; I have to go through:
file>export> as full quality movie > check the "selected clips only " box > copy and paste the name and then designate destination folder> CLICK and then wait until done. (Thank you Karl)
Unfortunately, completing this process with 180 clips per project x 15 to 20 projects per quarter... well it was more than I was prepared to do.
Therefore... is there anyone out there who could (or has already) program(ed) some kind of script/utility/add-on that would create a new AS-IS clip from each clip that was "split at the playhead" and ALSO, make those final clips as well as every other existing clip in the project have its media file designation the same as its name.
ie "each clip = new full quality movie and let its media file = name."
This would save me around 10 hours per week.
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Karsten is correct. iMovie itself does not support AppleScript.
But for applications that don't support AppleScript, Apple offers a "System Events" AppleScripting alternative. It lets an AppleScript script use System Events to do things in OTHER applications. It can act on window objects, like click on a button. Theoretically, System Events can do just about any task in iMovie.
Except, unfortunately, select a clip.
That's right, there is no way to select a clip with a script. So a script can't control which object to act on. YOU have to select the clip manually. That's not an insurmountable problem, but it does mean you can't tell the script to export every clip in the Timeline.
Probably the easiest way to do what you want is with QuicKeys, the third-party software that lets you define tasks, then assign a key to perform that task. Just about any task you can imagine. One kind of task is a macro to perform a series of actions. QuicKeys lets you record macros in any application. Its record function makes macro-writing pretty easy.
(QuicKeys is one of those utilities I wouldn't be without. I use QuicKey keys hundreds of times a day for repetitive tasks.)
Back to AppleScript. Theoretically, QuickTime Player Pro can do what you want. QuickTime Player is VERY scriptable.
Here's the trick: Each time we save the iMovie project, iMovie updates the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder (inside the project package). When iMovie saves, it sets the selected frames of that movie to match the selected clip in the TimeLine. When you open the "Timeline Movie.mov" in QuickTime Player, the selected video/audio matches the clip selected in iMovie.
So after you select a clip in iMovie, an AppleScript could save the iMovie project (to update the Timeline Movie), open the Timeline Movie in QuickTime, Copy the selected frames, Paste them into a new movie, then save the new movie.
Back to QuicKeys. QuicKeys can work across multiple applications just like an AppleScript. So theoretically you could run part of a macro in iMovie and another part in QuickTime Player. And, if I recall, QuicKeys can run AppleScript scripts.
What you REALLY want is an application that knows how to read iMovie project files and automatically exports each clip to its own movie.
Maybe I'm missing some simple work-around. That'd be sweeeeeet!
Yup. Sometimes the best solution is to avoid the problem, not solve it.
We can export a project to the camera, then re-import it to a new iMovie project. When we do, most clips on the Timeline return as discrete clips. Clips like titles will not be editable, of course.
That is best done early on, before we add titles, transitions and such. Import the newly-shot video, do a rough edit to get rid of the stuff you don't want, export the Timeline to the camera, re-import to a new project. All the junk will be gone and now each clip is a discrete clip with its own source file. NOW add titles and such.

Canon EOS Utility, 5D3 and Mountain Lion (10.8.2): connection/data transfer problems

Hi all,
a few days ago I bought the 5D3, which replaced the 5D2.
I'm experiencing problems in communication between the camera and Mac Book Pro (17" - i7 - 8GB) using EOS Utility (v. 2.12.3) as well as Lightroom 4.3: when I try to transfer photos to my Mac, sometimes the transfer works, sometimes it freezes and crashes (EOS Utility crashes, while LR at the end says he's not able to read the files).
Strangely this what happens randonmly and if the storage format is raw, or if it is the raw along with jpg, if I use only jpg seems to happen a lot less often.
Today I tryed to do same things (photo transfer and thetering) using using a PC with windows 7 x64 with the same softwares (Lightroom 4.3 and EOS Utility 2.12.3): everything worked flawless.
I'm inclined to think that problems are due to incompatibility issues between Mountain Lion and camera firmware's data-transfer protocols...
Have any of you encountered similar problems?
Daniele

Hey Daniele - I am in the *exact* same boat as you - RAW transfers work a little, and then EOS Utility freezes. I hope someone has a solution!

Eos Utility problem

Hi to all,I have a problem with the Eos Utility Software.I have the OS Windows 8, and I installed the last version of EOS Uility 2.12 compatibility with the new OS.When I connect my EOS 5D MKIII or the 7D the EOS Utility not recognized the camera.The drivers are installed , all the others programs works fine with the cameras.Someone have a suggestion ?

I've had no success with two Win8 systems. The drivers appear to be installed correctly, the camera shows up in the device manager under "portable devices" and via Windows explorer I can transfer files as if it was a flash drive. Is this where it should appear in the device manager tree? I have uninstalled / reinstalled all Canon applications and still EOS utility does not recognize the camera. I'm a software developer, have written drivers etc for Windows, but I have no way to know why EOSuitility cannot see the driver. As I mentioned above, the original developers in your company need to investigate since they do have the tools to figure out what's going on. if you're successful in getting any of these people going, I do hope you'll post the method here. Here are several other threads you should read, which illustrates how widespread the problem is. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3292003#forum-post-50161819 http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=10820.0 http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1227392 http://maxbarrass.blogspot.com/2012/08/windows-8-and-canon-eos.html http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1156582

"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
