Exporting metadata from folder

This isn't specifically a Bridge question, but I figure if anybody knows how to do this, it'll be you folks...
I'd like to create an export of the files in a folder with some of the metadata. Specifically, I want the filename, image width, and image height.
With that I can SORT by width or height and find out which images are heavily cropped.
Yes, Bridge HAS a sort by dimension, but it works poorly/bizarrely/inconsistently/whatever..
I can display images in a list, but I haven't figured out how to extract all the text from the list. If I could do that and paste it into a text editor that would work.
BUT, is there a tool that will let me take all the image files - .dng, .psd, .jpg, .tif, etc, in a folder and create a file of selected iptc and/or exif data? I've tried FolderViewer (unusable) and Exif Pilot (can't find anything that'll display image width and height)...
So, is there a way for me to copy all the text from Bridge list view or a tool to view the data for all files in a folder?

Is it possible to copy or export metadata from Folio Producer?

Hi,
Is it possible to copy or export metadata from one issue in Folio Producer and import/apply it to a different issue in Folio Producer? Or create a master metadata template that every issue build could use? It would save a lot of time and typing not having to re-enter the same information every month when releasing the next issue for departments, bylines, etc.
Thanks!

Bob,
Do you know when exporting metadata from Folio Producer will be available, and will it export directly to another rendition, or would it export to a sidecar.xml file?
The workflow my team prefers is to build our 1024x768 folio first, add metadata via Properties in the Folio Builder as we add articles, share the folio with editors and advertising sales, make edits and updates, then when all content is approved, create the 2048x1536 rendition folio using multiple importing of articles.
Having the ability to export from an existing folio in Folio Producer would save tons of tedious copying/pasting to get a sidecar.xml.
Hopefully when this becomes available you'll have a big announcement. (Please?)
Thanks in advance.

Exporting metadata from Lightroom to Excel

For all those out there wanting to export metadata from Lightroom to CSV, I have found a Fantastic Company www.pkzsoftware.com that sell their product for approx AUS $10.00 "Lightroom Metadata Explorer" it works perfectly and their customer service is just the best you will find anywhere, being a computer novice I had a few problems and they went out of their way to assist me to get exactly the data I needed. Can't speak highly enough of the Company.

John,
Thanks for your reply and the references to the tools. I ran the sqlLite Database Browser to look at the LR database, and to be honest it was pretty much gibberish to me. There's over 50 tables in the database and some quick browsing through them revealed data that would seem to require a knowledge of the database structure to extract. I'm a photographer with very good knowledge of how to use software tools to do my job, but I'm not a programmer and really don't have the time or the desire to become one.
My point is any good database software should have the capability to generate at least a flat file of the information contained within. In LR's case, I (and it seems others based on feature requests) would like to see a capability of exporting a CSV or tab-delimited file of the information contained in the side panels (i.e., keywords, the metadata browser, and the metadata panel for starters) on an image-by-image basis. I could then use the output in any of several other tools to do what I need.
Thanks again for your helpful links. Maybe someone can come up with a "CSV generator" using one of those tools that could be shared among LR users.

Export metadata from OWB to Oracle OLAP

Hi,
I would like to know why the 'OWB export metadata to OLAP' generate an erreur like:
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM$OLAP$DIMENSION", line 242
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM$UTIL", line 341
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at "OLAPSYS.CWM$OLAP$DIMENSION", line 67
ORA-06512: at line 10
knowing that i have installed the patches to the DB server
and i whork with th Oracle Wherhouse Bilder 9.0.3.33

It would appear that your mapping is incorrect. During the conversion to OLAP metadata, the dimension is not properly defined or contains no rows of data. If you check the log it should be possible to determine which dimension has failed. Also make sure your dimension values are unique across all levels in your relational table.
How many dimensions and cubes are you trying to deploy?
I would also recommend posting this on the OWB forum as they will be able in a better position to resolve your issue:

Exporting Metadata from bridge to excel or other like program.

Is there a way to export just the metadata, using Bridge, associated with an image file into excel, access, or some other like program?
I would like to perform some kind of batch processing, so as to make the process quick. But I would be open to any other work around scenario.
I am working with Windows XP Professional and Adobe CS2.
Any help would be appreciated!

I've followed the instructions and I am having problems getting data to the folder I set up on my desktop.
I have tried selecting several images and then just one image to export the slected metadata to said folder. By right clicking the images and chosing the script you sent me and then followed your instructions for when your CSV Data Collector Window pops up.
For the Please Slect Folder option i browsed to the folder where I want the info to go to.
~/Desktop/Kens Files/KensTest
For the Please Enter CSV Filename, I copied the title of the image name "2005-agropyron002.jpg"
Then I chose the type of data that I want to import such as:
FileName
DocWidth
DocHigth...
I then go to that folder and there is no info. there.
Please, if you can, give me more detailed instruction.
Thanks,
Bill

Exporting metadata from Lightroom to a flat file.

I would like to export the metadata in a lightroom database to a flat file or Excel sheet. Is this possible? I'm using lightroom on a PC.

Using Automator to Add Metadata from Folder Structure

I have a huge set of .wav files organized in a folder structure like this:
Artist->Album->Song
I am trying to write an Automator workflow to import each song into iTunes whilst adding Artist and Album metadata. I can get the workflow to work for a single artist with a single nested album, but multiple nested albums result in Artist and Album tags which are concatenated versions of all the artist and album names. This is my workflow:
I'm using variables to store the artist name and album name. Somehow, when this gets to "Set Info of iTunes Songs", the artist and album info gets concatenated. Any ideas much appreciated. Thank you.

oh, i can do all those things with the batch mode in iPhoto but I would like to integrate these steps in a longer Automator workflow - i.e. not having to open iPhoto and do it manually...

Export metadata from OWB to OLAP

Hi there,
I have OWB 9.2.0.3, DB release 2.
I'm having some trouble with the metadata export, i have created my mappings with the appropriate configuration to olap aw.
When I run the Metadata Export - Bridge , I get the following message:
**! Transfer logging started at Sat Jan 31 13:09:57 CST 2004 !**
OWB Bridge processed arguments
**! Transfer logging stopped at Sat Jan 31 13:09:58 CST 2004 !**
But nothing happens.
Any idea? Do I need to configure or install something in the server? I already have the olapsys.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Take a look at the troubleshooting doc on MetaLink for the OWB OLAP Bridge, however it is intended for version 9.0.4-9.2. You may want to upgrade OWB. More importantly, be sure to be running RDBMS 9.2.0.4 with the OLAP 9.2.0.4.1 patch (PS# 3084634).

Problems exporting metadata (using bridge).

Hello.
I'm trying to export metadata from OWB to Discoverer. I've a multidimensional model and now I want to explore it using Discoverer.
When I export metadata, OWB creates a file like:
BEGIN End User Layer Export
EUL_Version 3.1.92.0.7
EUL_Unique_Id 20030315095138
EUL_Characterset_WE8MSWIN1252
Define Object
Type BUSINESS AREA
Name AREA CASO 1
mName AREA CASO 1
mDescription Área de negocios del caso de estudio del almacén de comestibles.
mId
EndDefine Object
Define Object
This file can't read by Discoverer because not is a XML file. How can I export the .eex using XMI especification?
Thanks.

Juan Antonio,
What version of Warehouse Builder are you using?
It seems you have selected the Discoverer 3 bridge which may not generate an XML file (I am not sure about the Discoverer 3 format).
Anyway, you have to define a business area in OWB (or collection if you use OWB904) that contains the object definitions you want to export when you run the bridge.

Extract metadata from selected files in bridge

I used to use extensis portfolio to quickly export metadata from selected files to create print worksheets. I could customize which metadata would be displayed.
For instance:
Thumbnail
title
pixels
file type
date created and modified
height and width
dpi
embedded icc profile
file location
iptc description
It was a quick drag and drop process, but portfolio is now only available in the server edition for over $1000. Does anyone have script for Mac OS that would accomplish this?
Thanks!

Hi Xiaojing,
Thank you for your answer. It is useful.
The problem is: My application is not going to play music or video, it just needs to browse over the disk and create a list of available music files including info like song name, album, artist. All this info is kept in meta-data. Some users can have a lot of music of their computers. That's why I don't want to load the whole file and wait for onMetaData event - it can take a long time. I just want to read the meta-data from the file, but not to load the all file as I need for listening the music of playing the movie.
I already applied extracting meta-data for MP3 files exactly the way you mentioned, it works fine. I only have to wait for Event.ID3 – I implemented Timer to wait until all my files are processed. Probably, if user has a lot of music on his computer, it will take a lot of time.
I can try to read AAC the way you advice.
I am really looking for implementation of your advice for reading the music file as a ByteArray and extracting meta-data. In this case we don't need to load all the file, but just to read part of it.
Do you have some code implementation?
Thank you again for your response,
Elena

Exporting Metadata (caption information) from JPEGS to a comma separated value (CSV) file

Here is my dilemma. I am an archivist at an arts organization and we are in the process of digitizing many of our materials to post them on the web and make them available to internet users. One of the principle components of our collection is a large trove of photographs. We have been in the process of digitizing these images and embedding metadata (in the Caption/Description, Author/Photographer and Copyright fields) via PhotoShops File Info command.
Now I am at a crossroads. We need to extract this metadata and transfer it into a comma separated value form, like an Excel spreadsheet or a FileMakerPro database. I have been told that it is not possible to do this through PhotoShop, that I must run a script through Acrobat or Bridge. I have no clue how to do this. I have been directed to a couple of links.
First I was directed to this (now dead) link: http://www.barredrocksoftware.com/products.html
The BSExportMetadata script allegedly exports the metadata from files selected in Adobe's Bridge into a comma separated value (CSV) file suitable for import into Excel, Access and most database programs. It installs as a Bridge menu item making it simple to use. The the Export Metadata script provides you with an easy to use wizard allowing you to select associated information about a set of images that you can then export. This script requires Creative Suite 2 (CS2). This script sounds like it does exactly what I want to do, but unfortunately, it no longer exists.
Then I found this:
Arnold Dubin, "Script to Export and Import Keywords and Metadata" #13, 8 Aug 2005 7:23 am
I tried this procedure, but nothing seemed to happen. I also tried to copy the script into the JAVASCRIPT action option in Acrobat, but I received a message that the script had an error. It also seems to me that this script does not set up a dumping point, that is, a file into which this information will be exported to.
I am a novice, not a code writer or a programmer/developer. I need a step-by-step explanation of how to implement this filtering of information. We have about 2000 jpeg and tiff files, so I would rather not go through each file and copy and paste this information elsewhere. I need to find out how to create a batch process that will do this procedure for me. Can anyone help?

Hello -
Is anyone aware of a tool that will do the above that is available for mac? Everything I've found so far seems to be PC only.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Photo Stream does not sync when I export pics from Lightroom to Uploads folder.

I am using a PC. When I export pics from Adobe Lightroom to the "Uploads" folder iCloud does not sync with my phone. If I export pics from Adobe Lightroom to any other folder and then move them to the "Uploads" folder everything works like it should. Is this an iCloud glitch or is this me? Thanks in advance.

Updating PhotoStream automatically after making changes to pictures in Aperture is something I'd be interested in as well. As far as I know, this can't be done right now. Has anybody come up with a work around for the moment?
Thanks!
Oliver

I updated my computer to 10.10.1 and now my photoshop isn't in my applications folder anymore. Even when I try to export photos from Lightroom, PS isn't even an option anymore. Not sure where it went or how to get it back! Thanks!

Using 6-7 year old software that's no longer receiving updates & was never designed to run on 10.10 is asking for trouble. That said, try re-installing PS and installing Java SE6
Java for OS X 2014-001
It might work. But again it might not.
Good luck!

Exporting Metadata Templates from my old computer

I am trying to Export my Metadata Templates form my old Mac (running on Bridge CS3) to my new Mac (running on Bridge CC).
I have located the folder on my old Mac:
Library/Appliation Support/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates
I dropped the Metadata Templates folder onto a memory stick and then transferred it to the same location on my new Mac. However, I still can't see the templates.
If I go to Tools/EditMetadata Template, Tools/Append Metadata or Tools/Replace Metadata, it just says "No Templates"
Please can someone advise what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks
Claire

I have located the folder on my old Mac:
Library/Appliation Support/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates
If you mean the library in your user account you are at the right place. But If there are no templates in this folder on you old Mac then they will not appear in your new one.
Don't remember if CS3 had the same templates, it is a long time ago I used this version. However I do believe the newer versions have better template options to offer due to more fileds (also if I try to recall there was a bit of a problem with the copyright line itself, it stated no copyright by default.
Don't know if you had much but I would prefer to create new ones in CC. Otherwise use your old mac and choose edit templates, pick the ones you need and save them to a place you can find them back. Then copy these to the stick and drag them into the templates folder in the user library of your CC version.
While you are at it, if you had a custom keyword list in CS3 also use same fly out menu and choose export, then import again in new version to have this list available in CC, if not you will end up with italic keywords and have to choose 'make persistent' for each keyword.
