Exporting Metadata in V3.4.5 appears NOT to work

What I want to do is export selected metadata, or perhaps a metadata view, for selected images to a CSV file, or to a spreadsheet file for further analysis. No matter what I try I cannot get anything remotely useful. Here is what I get when selecting one image and choosing File -> Export -> Metadata:

This is not useful. It contains data items I don't want and doesn't contain data items I actually want, such as lens used, shutter speed, focal length.
Has this ever worked? Is it broken in this version of Aperture only?
What am I missing?

Sorry to say, but that is how it has always been.
You can annote printed contact sheets with selected matadata from your predefined views, but if you want textfiles of selected metadata, you will have to write a script or an Automator workflow to extract the data. For example, I posted an automator workflow here, that extracts some metadata fields and writes them to a textfile for printing. If you know how to program a bit, you could adapt this to your needs:
Export EXIF Info to Printer or PDF?

Since "upgrading" to OS X Lion Outlook 2011 sync services appear not to work and I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me! Any ideas please?

Sync Services in Outlook 2011 appear not to work in OS X Lion as I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me! Any ideas please?

I had all my contacts deleted one day from muy address book. The Apple folks said that at times when MS Office sends an update it moves all your contacts from the address book to Outlook contacts. I had to get into Time Machine to restore my contacts in the address book.
If you do this, be sure to update each group, not just the all contacts group because pulling up all contacts will not restore the contacts to the groups you had.
If you sync with Moble Me, be careful to replace what is on Mobile Me with what is on your comptuer after you are finished restoring the contacts to your satisfaction.
I haven't switched to iCloud yet so I can't talk about syncing to it.

User in a windows group - mapping to acs group appears not be working

I have a user in a windows group, this windows group is mapped to an ACS group but when the user logs in it appears as default group in ACS.
Any suggestion?

Hello, I recently implemented this very thing, actually integrated it with Authentication Proxy. Here are some settings to check:
1. External User Databases - Database Configuration - Windows Database - Configure
Make sure your domain is listed on moved to the Domain List section
2. External User Databases - Database Group Mappings - Windows Database - - Add Manual Mapping
Make sure you have the right AD group mapped to the internal ACS group, you can even set users* if you want to include all users.
3. External User Databses - Unknown User Policy
Check the "Check the following external user databases" radio dial and move Windows Database to Selected Databases
Check âThe database in which the user profile is heldâ radio dial in the Configure Enable Password Behaviour section
Hope that helps!

ContainsAnyFilter, ContainsFilter appears not to work.

We have a requirement to be able to determine if an object in the cache has one of a particular id in a list of ids that the stored object exposes as a property. Unfortunately, using the ContainsAnyFilter or the ContainsFilter always produces an empty result set. This is from a .Net client.
We have an object in our cache that exposes a property that is an array of integers. We have a requirement to query the cache and return the objects that have a particular integer in that array. Having read [http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH35UG/Query+the+Cache|http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH35UG/Query+the+Cache], paricularly the section "Queries Involving Multi-Value Attributes", we tried the following:
The java object implements PortableObject and has the following properties (among others):
public void setObjectIds(int[] objectIds) {
     this.objectIds = objectIds;
public int[] getObjectIds() {
     return objectIds;
public void setCreated(Date created) {
     this.created = created;
public Date getCreated() {
     return created;
There is a corresponding .Net object implemented.I have no problem getting results from a query against the Created property as follows:
ICacheEntry[] cacheEntries = cache.GetEntries(new GreaterFilter("getCreated", dateTime));However, the following always returns an empty array:
ICacheEntry[] cacheEntries = cache.GetEntries(new ContainsFilter("getObjectIds", id));If the objects are returned manually using their key, the ObjectIds property does indeed return an array of the integers specified so the objects are getting stored and retrieved correctly.
Is this the correct way to query this sort of code? Do we need to add an index to do this (I was under the impression that was not necessary as they are hints rather than requirements)? We are on 3.5.1.
Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
I'm just going to take a wild guess on this one...
Would you be able to test with your java type having an Integer array rather than the primitive type array?
ie.
public void setObjectIds(Integer[] objectIds) {
     this.objectIds = objectIds;
public Integer[] getObjectIds() {
     return objectIds;
}

Apple has barred Java from running on Macs, leaving companies that rely on Java plug-ins out in the cold.
Apple blocked Java 7 Update 11 by adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
This is the second time in two weeks that Apple has blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple has apparently decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.

Is there a way to export metadata specific metadata

Regardless of the metadata view I choose, Aperture exports only 21 columns of metadata, and not in the order that they appear in Ap. Actually it exports metadata that don't even appear in the view I'm using.
Is there a way export metadata specific metadata, so it can be used in Numbers, or Excel?

Do you have any suggestions for how to pass distribute .mov files with my contact info and description info?
Just two ideas:
if you like commandline tools, you could try "exiftool" to write "Artist", "copyright", and "user comment" to your movies. Download from here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ The documentation says, that MOV files are supported; I did not try it with MOV, however.
Or use the "spotlight comment field (see above). But that would only be visible on a mac.
To write to the Spotlight Comment field open "Get Info" for the exported movie.
Can other programs like Bridge or lightroom read that metadata?
Sorry, I don't know since I do not work with those programs.

Hi,
neither In understand what you are trying to do (lack of inoformation), nor do I think this is the right forum if what you ask is Enterprise Manager related. I would try this forum

Do you have any filters applied to your clips?
This happened to me before, I accidently had applied a broadcast safe filter to a color matte that was black....
I figured it out by duplicating my sequence and deleting items from my timeline 1 by 1 until I was able to export a reference movie.
Anywho, export again, this time with "self contained" movie selected.
Then try to import to Compressor.

Exporting metadata Using ODI

Has anyone run into an error when exporting metadata using ODI. I cannot export more then 925 lines of my Entity dimension. I have been working with Oracle for over 2 weeks and have not been able to resolve issue. It appears to me to be a memory or limit issue. I am able to run for smaller dimensions.

It could be down to the API trying to open more connections than windows will allow, have a look at these registry changes - Re: Analytic Server Error(1042017): Network error:
They are also available on Oracle support so it is a common issue.

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:

How can I export metadata to a csv file in CS4?

Help please, I used Workflow Automation Scripts on CS3 but it doesn't seem to work on CS4.

OK,
after combing through these posts and trying various 'solutions' I have found that the Barred Rock export metadata script is the only one I have been able to get to work in CS4, kinda. It is a superior script to the original workflow automation script that edo75 refers to, as it does not seem to have the comma issue encountered by jesse and others, where if there are any commas in your metadata it creates a new column and your excel file becomes nonsensical and disorganized. There is a way to avoid this by the way, simply by opening a new file in excel and importing the csv file as text, you then tell excel to read the data the right way by selecting various delimiter combinations. It is not a perfect solution but I have found that by doing this it places most of my metadata in the proper columns, and I end up doing a minimal amount of editing. The barred rock version, which I assume is a modified version of the original script available from adobe as the interface is exactly the same, does not seem to have this issue with commas at all, I am unsure why. If B. Stucky is still reading these posts he may be able to answer, as I think he wrote this script?
Anyhow I was able to get the script to load in CS4 and then I had to tweek the script to recognize my custom metadata schema, which I was able to do. Now however there is an issue with it recognizing the actual metadata in the image files. I suspect it is a mynamespace issue, that is, I do not have the right path for it to locate the actual metadata for export.
here is where I suspect the problem lay, where this "http://NPSAlaskaImageStandard" is incorrect.
new MdNs.MetadataNamespace( "NPS Alaska Image Standard", "http://NPSAlaskaImageStandard", "NPSAlaskaImageStandard" );
I am a total novice with this stuff so this may not be it at all, however this is my best guess, anyone know the answer?

Glad that worked.
Working with MDS, another way is to use the EM console for exporting/importing data from/to MDS. This I find lot easier rather than working with the OOTB script.
Steps are:
http://ADMINSTRATION_SERVER/em
Navigate to Identity and Access, oim. Right-click and navigate to System MBean Browser.
Under Application Defined MBeans, navigate to oracle.mds.lcm, Server:oim_server1, Application:oim, MDSAppRuntime.
To export the configuration files:
•     Click the Operations tab, and then click exportMetaData.
•     In the toLocation field, enter /tmp or the name of another directory.
•     Select createSubDir as false.
•     In the docs field, enter the complete file location as the Element.
•     Also select false for excludeAllCust, excludeBaseDocs, and excludeExtendedMetadata. Then, click Invoke.
This exports the file specified in the docs field to the directory specified in the toLocation field.
To import the configuration files:
•     Click importMetaData
•     In the fromLocation field, enter /tmp or the name of the directory in which you have the configuration files.
•     Select createSubDir as false.
•     In the docs field, enter the complete file location as the Element. For example, /db/oim-config.xml.
•     Also select false for excludeAllCust, excludeBaseDocs, and excludeExtendedMetadata. Then, click Invoke.
This imports the file specified in the docs field to MDS in the toLocation field.

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!

Exporting Metadate for multiple images

Hi, I can't find a way of easily exporting the metadata for a number of images into a csv file. The "Export Metadata" function in Aperture 1.5 only exports the file name and the keywords, with a number of blank columns, and there are no column headings for useful information like shutter speed and aperture!
I've looked at tools like "exiftool" but they are quite difficult to run and seem to only do one image at a time. I also tried using Automator to extract metadata, but couldn't make it work
It would be very useful if I could (a) enter comments in a metadata field and (b) extract technical metadata to a csv file for a number of images
any suggestions welcomed!
Richard

You should be able to do it using AppleScript. It is not straightforward, unfortunately, but the information seems to be there.

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.
