Export info about all images

How can I export the following info about all images in an InDesign document:
Page image is on
Image name
Image full path
Image location on page (x, y)
I would like to export this data to a txt or csv file with data for each image on a separate line.

Assuming that the report you get when you File > Package an ID file is insufficient, this is a job for scripting.
It's about a 6 line script:
2 lines to open a file, 2 lines to loop over all images, 1 line each to print each piece of information, 1 line to close the file.
I'm pretty sure some have been done before, so search around. If that fails, post in the scripting forum.
Be specific about which x/y you want, though (a corner?), and also how it should handle facing pages and spread coordinates.

  • Getting specific info on all images in a .indd file

    How can I access the following info about all images in an InDesign document:
    Page image is on
    Image name
    Image full path
    Image corner location on page (x, y)
    I would like to export this data to a txt or csv file with data for each image on a separate line.

    Here is a Javascript that does so. It temporarily sets the ruler to "Page", so you get a logical offset from the left side for each page, rather than Spread or that other one no-one uses.
    For items on the pasteboard, it says "pasteboard" for the page number; for missing links it says "(missing)" for the full path.
    imgs = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
    result = [];
    // Set ruler to PAGE
    orgRuler = app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
    app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
    for (i=0; i<imgs.length; i++)
              line = [];
              pg = getPageFor (imgs[i]);
              if (pg == null)
                        line.push ("pasteboard");
              else
                        line.push (pg.name);

                        line.push ("(missing)");
              else
                        // The file path also includes the name, so let's split it
              //          line.push (imgs[i].itemLink.filePath);
                        str = imgs[i].itemLink.filePath.substring(0,imgs[i].itemLink.filePath.length - imgs[i].itemLink.name.length-1);
                        line.push (str);
              line.push (imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[1]+","+imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[0]);

  • I can't find where to export info about tracks that I recorded

    I have done it before but now I don't find it. I can still do it can't I?

    what I'm after is the info about the various tracks, what you get when you put an existing cd in your player and it opens with all titles and stuff in iTunes. I used to export that info when making cd's before, but can't find it now.
    Beche,
    That functionality has moved.  It used to be under the Advanced menu, which no longer exists.
    In iTunes 11, here is the procedure:  Insert the CD and use Get Info edit all track info to be correct. Then, with the CD still present, use the command Submit CD Track Names. 
    This sends the information to the Gracenote database, where it will be accessible to any iTunes user in the world.
    The command Submit CD Track Names is under the Options menu, as pictured.

  • Table which has info about all "Query views" in the system

    hi all,
    which is the table that stores information about all the "Query views" present in the system?
    i searched in tables RSRREPDIR and RSZELTDIR, but i could not find any query view that is already present in the system.
    regards,
    Rk

    To know execution time, execute the query and then analyze the table RSDDSTAT using t-code se16..
    i think u need to check the value of  QTIMEOLAP var in the table for getting query execution time..
    more info please refer the note 130696
    U can execute query in RSRT also after setting options for Statistics

  • Question about 'all images' in finder

    i was wondering why when i was looking in 'all images' in the finder, there were doubles of allllll of my images?

    Hi GM1941,
    When using Finder>All Images, the ones that you have more than one copy of are images that you do in fact have more than one of. An image stored under the same name and possibly placed in another location from its original.
    A good example would be if you downloaded all your images to a pictures folder on your desktop. From there you might copy a picture of a family member in a genealogical program and not rename it. There you have two copies.
    If you opened the picture in Photoshop or some other image manipulation software and saved it in a different file format (ex: Tiff, PNG, PICT, GIF) you are again able to save it again- even to the same file- with out renaming it.
    When you use the Finder to search for all images, remember that you are looking for ALL images on your computer, not just the ones in iPhoto.
    The files listed under today, yesterday and last week are a "search" list of documents/files you have opened during those times, not another copy. But, they are connected to the item they represent and, if you drag them to the trash they will indeed be in the trash and can be deleted from there.
    Good Luck,
    John

  • Gallery problems and photo export issues with all images JPG Raw damaged.

    I'm starting to panic. I trusted Aperture 3 and upgraded entire library from Aperture 2.0.
    Yesterday I uploaded new project from a photoshoot. and today is gone. Just like that. I did some export already before from that project so I know that it was there.
    Yesterday I had couple crashes. But it should be saved??
    Now I have serious problem. I export any Jpegs from Aperture. and when I want to process them in CS4 photomatix etc I get this http://www.flickr.com/photos/procekim/4360611822/
    It does it in 32 and 64 bit? What is the problem? I can expot JPG and raw and get same result. entire gallery from 2000 to 2010 same issue.
    I'm badly hurt!!!!!!!!!!!! do you have same problem??

    this gave me a scare. I deleted preferences + everything in pro applications. I deleted Aperture and reinstall everything from the disk. Updated library and now it works. I even get my lost project back. It remembered my Places, but not faces, strange.
    I have no idea what happened. But from now on I double copy files.

  • How to get Info about all VPD policies configured?

    Hi,
    is it possible to get a list of all VPD policies configured in the database?
    $VPD_POLICY - displays all the fine-grained security policies and predicates associated with the cursors currently in the library cache.
    `- It's empty. This means that this view is populated only if the policy is currently used ..
    Thanks.

    I have not checked but the dba_* views should be able to give to you this. V$vpd_policy only shows the what's there in the library cache.

    In my opinion, E71 only keeps 20 entries in the log for each in (20), out (20) and missed calls (20) desptie my setting is "30 days" (Log > Options > Settings > Log duration = 30 days)

  • Exchange 2010 – Export details about e-mails in the DB

    Hi
    We have an Exchange 2010 server (v14.03.0195.001) and now we have a need for doing an extended report of all the e-mails received between 1 March (DateStart) and 1 Sep 2014 (DateEnd).
    I am looking for a script (or program) exporting info about all the messages. The script should work like:
    1: For each mailbox dump the content to a file equal %User%.csv (Comma or TAB separated)
    2: For each message received between %DateStart% and %DateEnd% write one line to the file – the line should contain:
    A: Time received (preferable in the format YYYY.MM.DD HH.MM.SS)
    B: The IP-address the e-mail was sent from – retrieved from the message header (we subscribe to a cloud spam / antivirus service and all incoming e-mails are received from this company's IP address - this IP-address don't make sense)
    If easier all the IP-addresses the e-mail have "gone through" can be listed separated with ";")
    C: E-mail address the message was sent to
    D: Subject
    E: Name of all attachments separated with ";"
    Nice if the script will report to the screen during the run:
    Username / user number and how many messages has been listed to the %User%.csv file (update for each 1000? message)
    I am ready to pay some money for a working script or buy a "report generator" which can be used for this purpose. Nice if you have some advice.
    Best regards Harald

  • ITunes and Finder - how are info about audio files refreshed?

    I am now in the process of embedding artwork in my mp3-files using CoverScout. I have also updated info about all my tracks in the iTunes after embedding the artowrk, by selecting all the files and clicking GeitInfo and clicking OK (without making any changes). All albums are displayed correctly with new artworks. This, however, is not the case with the Finder.
    Generally, if a mp3-file has (embedded) artwork then the file would be displayed as a thumbnail of the artwork in question. The thing is that the icons for the mp3-files that were recently embedded with artworks are displayed as lacking artwork (they are displayed with the simple iTunes icon). Moreover, the Preview of GetInfo window does not show that the mp3-files contain the embedded artwork. The files are not refreshed. However, if I copy or duplicate those files then the copied files are displayed correctly, with the right getinfo. This, however, does not work if moving files. The files are not refreshed when moved, only when copying or duplicating.
    I find it curious that Finder does not refresh the files, even after restarting the Mac, given the fact that iTunes have the information that there is artwork. Is there a way to refresh the files in the finder without copying or duplicating the files?
    Another curious thing with albums containing tracks with embedded artwork is as follows: the Finder displays some of the tracks as thumbnails of the artwork in question, but not with all the files. The same goes for the Preview of the files in GetInfo. Some have the correct Preview displaying the artwork, but some lack the info about the artwork in the Preview. Why are not all files displayed as having embedded artwork, but only some, given the fact that they belong to the same album and the artwork was embedded in the same way?
    The same goes when I embed the artwork without CoverScout, by updating multiple files through iTunes (dragging the artwork to the Artwork-field in Info). The Finder does not display that the files are embedded. I must copy or duplicate these files in order to refresh the info.
    A more general question: how do I refresh files in the Finder? There is no refresh button, as in the Windows.
    I would appreciate your help.
    Kind regards
    Alex

    I was wrong about one thing concerning refreshing the files. I said that restarting the Mac would not refresh the files. However, if the iTunes have info about album's/tracks artwork then the Finder will also have this info after rebooting the system. My question is whether the Finder can be refreshed, without rebooting (restarting)?

  • In Snow Leopard, 'All Images' vs. 'My Pictures' files.

    Can anyone discuss the differences between these two files, or point toward more information? I'm puzzled by their apparent redundancy.

    Ah, OK. I think I see what's happening.
    I believe you've had some files copied over from an older PC. Windows PCs have the "My ..." naming convention; Macs don't have that, and so those "My" folders must have come from your PC. They've all been copied into your Documents folder. You'll have to make an assessment of what's there - if you have older images in "My Pictures" that aren't in iPhoto, you may well want to import them.
    The house icon is the user home folder on the Mac. So that's where all your Mac subfolders are. Normally you'll want to work most of the time in Pictures when you're working with images. (You can store files anywhere you want, really, but the subfolder structure may help to keep you organized).
    If I'm correct about All Images, it's only a virtual collection - it doesn't make copies, or take up any extra room on your system. Are you seeing that in the sidebar, maybe with a purple-colored folder icon with a little gear symbol in it? (That's the icon for a smart folder.)
    So don't worry too much about All Images. You can even remove the smart folder from the sidebar if it's not useful to you - doing so won't delete any files.
    I would take a look at the "My Pictures" folder that's come across from your PC, and see what's not yet in iPhoto, and drag and drop images into iPhoto if you need to.
    That 80GB drive is a pretty old external drive, if you don't mind me saying so. I would probably recommend finding something newer, larger and faster.

  • How Do I remove all File Info after completeing image?

    After completing all work on a Photoshop Image - then saving as a jpeg - all the file info still remains (XMP).  How do I delete it?

    I appreciate your response and your effort to try to help me.  This is all stuff I know nothing about, so please bear with me.  I clicked on a picture I am ready to post on Behance – and chose “Save For Web”.  There is no  option to “Remove Metadata”.   
    There is a box entitled “Metadata:” – but choices are  “Copyright” – “Copyright and Contact Info” -  “All Except Camera Info” – “All”. 
    Is there any other way I could check to remove all the info I see when I open “File Info”?
    And, what does all that stuff in the Metadata box mean?  I would love to look it up for myself – but have no idea where to go to find info about it.
    Please help and thank you.

  • Aperture 3 won't export at all: images held hostage

    Complaining about Aperture 3 is almost pointless now with the mess the program is obviously in, but I encountered a rather distressing problem I hadn't seen reported yet.
    I can't export anything. All of my photos are locked into Aperture. If I select any export option (say, Jpeg 50%) Aperture will start exporting it and never finish. It will sit there for hours if I let it. The file will never export. Activity viewer just shows Aperture attempting to export the image and never finishing. Basically, it's holding my images hostage.
    The crashing and hangups I can deal with (for now), but if I can't export a photo the program is literally useless to me. If anybody knows a way to fix this issue, please help.
    Message was edited by: Padriac

    I have now solved my problem, and it only cost me a day :-|
    I had a few corrupted master files. Aperture was running a task to process a lot of pictures, and whenever it was reaching such a corrupted file, the task would hang, and it would not be possible to start other tasks like exporting pictures.
    That rebuilding the library helped temporarily was just because after a rebuild Aperture would spend some time updating Places information, before it would start the processing task that would then eventually hang.
    I identified and deleted the corrupted pictures, which solved my problem. Finding the pictures was something that I had to do by hand, though.
    Since the problem is usually not with the pictures that one is working with at the moment, but with completely unrelated pictures, one possibility is to export the current project as a library and then work with just that library.
    So the problem was with corrupted files that I had in my library. Still I think that Aperture should handle a situation like this more gracefully. If a task hangs, it should be possible to learn which picture it is currently working on and to kill the task.
