Facebook publishing uses Version name as description for Facebook uploads

Facebook publishing on Aperture 3 uses my Version name as the description on Facebook. Is there a way to keep it from doing that or change what metadata it uses for the description? I would love to be able to write a caption in Aperture and have that show as the description. Otherwise, I would like the description to be left blank on Facebook rather than putting the Version name.

I never found a fix for this. I also realized that if you ever delete the sync folder from Aperture, the pictures in Facebook will be deleted as well. So I've simply stopped using the Facebook publishing feature from Aperture. Now I'm back to the usual: export a folder of the images I want to upload, upload that folder to Facebook, and delete that folder after uploading it since I have the original file elsewhere.

Any way to stop facebook exporter from using version names as the caption

I tried the Aperture 3 facebook export and it is using the version names as the caption. If I change the caption on facebook it then changes the version name in my aperture library when it syncs with facebook. Is there anyway to have it use the caption meta data field instead? You would think if they had that option for mobile me they would have it for FB too.

Add me to the list of people interested by this issue - but AFAIK there is no way to change this. Let's hope Apple fixes this soon.

When I set up Words with Friends on my Fire it asked for my username and password which from a previous reply to my inquiry above stated that the S 3 doesn't store due to privacy issues. I have tried all my usual combinations of usernames and passwords and my Fire won't let me access the game as it keeps telling me that one or the other is not correct. I have deleted the app from my Fire and re-downloaded it but have the same error comes up. I have accessed the Words with Friends support both on my phone and their website but there is no live chat. I might have to take both to a Verizon store. Also, my Fire won't let me access the game without a correct username and password. To say that I am frustrated would be an understatement as well I have tried everything I can think of with no luck! Thanks for any help you can give!
Did you use facebook to log in?
Verizon will not be able to help you retrieve any of the information you need. You will have to contact Zynga.

Send email notification including file name and description, when users upload files to particular sub-folders?

In my site collection i have a document library and document library has customer folder, each Customer folder has 4 sub-folders. i want to send email notification with file name and description to group and users, if they upload any files to Particular
folder name "Final" not others 3 folders. would it possible to accomplish this solution? if yes please suggest which way i can do that.
Note: we have different groups of people, for example Team A and Team B. if files uploaded by any member of Team A, notification should sent to only Team A and specific people not Team B.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Hey Rakib,
You can add your group and those other people in To field of send mail activity. Have below snapshot for your reference.
If Current Item URL Contains FolderName (i.e. Final) & Is Current User a member of of Team A
Send Email to Team A; People1; People2;

Script for using layer name in Save for Web command

I am using the Save for Web command (Illustrator CS2) to export layers to CSS so that each layer is saved as a different jpg. The only issue I have is that I want the layer name to be part of the file name, but layer name is not an option when I look at the "Edit Output settings" dialog for saving files. Is there anyway I can do this? I do not have experience writing or working with scripts.
For example. My fiel name is flower.ai. I will have 20 different layers (each containing a different color of the same image) and want the exported file to be flower-scarlet.jpg, flower-cranberry,jpg, etc. Right now I am looking at renaming all the files manually, but as I am creating 40 images per product on my website, this will be very time consuming.
Thanks in advance
Christine

Btw.. to make it work for JPGs, change the PNG options to the following:
var options = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
        options.antiAliasing = false;
        options.optimization = false;
        options.artBoardClipping = true;
        options.qualitySetting = 100; // value of 0 to 100, 60 is medium, 100 is perfect
        options.blurAmount = 0;
        options.verticalScale = 100;
        options.horizontalScale = 100;

Using Table name as value for formula

I am using a table as a list for lookup in other tables using vlookup. The entire table is the source, so I'd like to do something like:
=Vlookup("value to lookup", TableName, 3)
However, it seems the entire reference including columns must be included. Is this so?
Thanks for your help.

I understand why they didn't do this. Many times you do not need to look up the values in the A column, but in the B or C column. This forces the novice user, and advanced users, to fully evaluate their expression. e.g. Numbers should not make any assumptions about your intentions.
A novice user might see experienced users that use the shorthand for examples, and assume that you MUST use the entire table, and they would go off making these very odd looking tables just to accommodate this misconception.
I wouldn't doubt if they tested this with a small set of novice users and got some very confused responses. then nixed it.
just my 2 cents from writing programs for those very users,
Jason

Using iFS as a repository for file upload attachments

We are creating an auction website where auction owners are allowed to post any number of attachments (*.doc, *.pdf, etc...) to describe the product being auctioned.
What is the best way to go about managing these file attachments? The difficulty lies in storing them uniquely. Should we use iFS or store them as BLOBs?

Where can i find a sample application does something like this ? i.e a document management system such as the one fisher1 has discussed about where any file(*.xls,*.pdf etc) can be uploaded.Iam trying to design such a system myself but have little material(in the form of examples,books etc) to go on.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Luis:

Version names ignored when relocating a library

I've run into some odd behavior when trying to relocate a library (to a set of folders on disk, rather than the managed library location) using the "Relocate Originals for Library" feature. I'm hoping maybe somebody here has seen this and can either let me know if I'm doing something wrong, or perhaps if this does in fact look like a bug in Aperture.
The relocation dialog provides a variety of options for automatically creating a folder structure (which works brilliantly) as well as naming the relocated original images. The issue I'm seeing is that when I tell Aperture to use "version names" as the naming method for the files, *some* of the relocated images ignore their version name and show up with their original file names. I have pored over the images and cannot figure out what the difference is between the images that would cause some to seemingly randomly ignore their file names. This happens even within a set of images shot with the same camera within minutes of each other, with similar adjustments applied. All are RAW images, but I'm not sure if that matters. But some are correctly named as their version name, and some have the original filename out of the camera.
Any ideas?

But some are correctly named as their version name, and some have the original filename out of the camera.
I am seeing this happen, when two or more selected images have the same version names. Then the second relocated image will be relocated with the original filename to avoid overwriting originals by a different file with the same name. Do you have image versions with the same name? Perhaps due to batch renaming them?

Description for Formula Values in Structure

Hello All,
I want to change the description of the formula values in my Structure (i want to add the Month that is used in the formula to the description so that the description becomes more dynamic). Can any one of you please suggest a way. This is required quickly so please respond ASAP and ALSO LET ME KNOW HOW TO REWARD POINTS I WILL DO IT AS SOON AS I GET MY ANSWER.
Thanks,

Hi,
To use a text variable on 0CALMONTH, 0CALMONTH need not be in Fomula as you mentioned.
as you said,you have variable on 0CALMONTH and you wanted to see entered 0CALMONTH value in formulas.Right?
From the context menu of formula>Edit->click on 'Select text variables'->a window will pop up which shows all existing text variables->(you can use any existing text variable of 0CALMANTH,ok..for time being we will go with new text variable) go to starting point of the text variables window>double cilck on "New" node->provide Tech name and description for text variables and select 'processing by' as 'Replacement path'->next->select Characterstic ' 0CALMONTH'->next->select 'replace variable' with "KEY" or "TEXT">next>Finish.
Use this Text variable in your formulas.
Pl dont foget to assign points if it helps.
Thanks

File name, filename, image name, version name???

Hi guys,
All above terms are used in Aperture 3 Help. When I go to the Metadata Inspector/General the only field available is Version Name.
Do they all mean the same?
Thanks,
Raphel

Aperture is a database. The core record in Aperture is the Image. The database is a list of Images, with a whole bunch of data about each Image stored alongside the Image as one record . (You can get some sense of this by clicking Photos at the top of the Library tab of the Inspector and changing to List View.) Apple doesn't like the word "database"; Aperture databases are called "Libraries".
Every Image has a Master. The Master is a file. It is the image-format file that you imported into the Aperture Library. Those files have names. That is refered to as the File Name.
When the User Guide needs to indicate the inclusion of a file name in a field or as a variable, it is written as "filename". This is, I'm pretty sure, now standard practice (e.g.: "Insert the file name in 'filename'.").
The Image is created from a Master + Version pair. The Version is, literally, a text file of proprietary instructions that tells Aperture how to adjust (hence "adjustment" in Aperture, and not "edits") the Master to create the Image. Every Image has a Version (and a Master), but the Version of the first Image created from the Master has no instructions (i.e.: "Don't make any adjustments") and is treated as though it is invisible. The default name of the Version is the file name of the Master. The name of the Version is used as the name of the Image. You can use any name you want for your Versions.
On the Metadata tab of the Inspector you can have shown:
- the Version Name. It is editable.
- the File Name. This is the file name of the Master file. It is the name used by your OS to reference the file. To change it, you must go to "Metadata→Batch Change". You should never change the file name of any Master except through Aperture. It is possible to use Aperture completely and never change a Master's file name.
To see both of the above in one Metadata view, change the Metadata Preset (using the drop-down) to "File Info".
Rest assured this is a confusing topology, and is not spelled out anywhere I have seen. This is just what I understand from using Aperture. (If anyone knows better, please speak up.)

Using more then 126 chars for naming models...

Today i noticed that models in Shockwave3D can have a maximum
number of 126 characters. I needed to know that because i have to
store some Informations in the names of the models when i export
them (i have not option to use the "userdate" when exporting the
models).
But now something interesting happend when i tried to create
long names in director via lingo. If the names are longer then 126
charakters they are limited to the first 126.
if you use for example this code to generate a new group:
member("world").newgroup("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq")
this are 126 chars, you get a group with exact this name.
if you now add more charakters at the end it will produce
another group with the same name as the group above. You can check
this in the Objectinspector.
use now this code:
member("world").newgroup("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliqLorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq")
It will produce a second Group with exact the same name. The
good thing is, that you can still reference to the model with that
long name, the bad thing is, you can't read the full name of the
model anymore.
What does this mean in the end?
There is a visible name of the model that can be read by
lingo, but there is the "real" name of the model that can be used
to reference to models. If the names have more then 126 chars you
can only see the shortend name but its still nessesary to reference
to the longer name.
if you try this in the message window (this are 127 chars, i
added a "2" as last character):
member("world").newgroup("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq2")
put member("world").group("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq2").name
-- "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit,
sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna
aliq"
but
put member("world").group("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq").name
will give you an error!
Conclusion:
It's better not to use more then 126 characters for naming
models.
But if you want to prevent your 3D models from being used by
other people, then you can use longer names and add for example a
serialnumber to the models, behind char 126. So you can generate
shockwave apps that need to know the correct name of the model.
if you give your models in your 3D app names like this:
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit,
sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna
aliq_12345"
(132 chars)
the last part is in this example the serialnumber "_12345"
you can only reference to the models with
serialnum="_12345"
rightname=member("world").model[1].name & serialnum
put rightname.position
Maybe interesting to some people that want to make external
w3D files unconfortable to handle for other people, you still can
reference to the models by their numbers. I think it will only
prevent models form the "CloneModelFromCastmember" command, not
much... in the end there is no real protection when external *.w3d
files are used...
regards!

hehe Don�t worry! It�s good to post here things
like these. I already
faced the character limitation and couldn�t use

the modeler needed to use Maya. Can�t recall how did I

Aperture 3.1 uses Facebook captions as Version Names

Not sure whether this has happened due to the u/g to 3.1, but while still running 3.0.3 I exported a set of photos to Facebook.
By default, the Caption shown in FB is the filename (version name).
*In FB* I edited the captions but now Aperture is using those captions as the version names of the original photos (i.e. in the Projects, not just in the Facebook albums).
This is not good, since I now have several photos with the same version name!!!!
Is the the expected behaviour? I can't find a pref that affects it.
Anyone else seen this?

David Riecks has an article on the issues with Aperture and IPTC metadata over at:
http://digitalassetmanagementnews.org/taxonomy-metadata/aperture-3-removes-iptc- extension-and-plus-embedded-metadata/
and
http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/aperture3.html
It appears that you are correct in your assertion that Apple (Aperture) does not adhere to the IPTC standard for image metadata. Ad Mr. Riecks points out, this should be of major concern for anyone using Aperture as their image warehouse and then exporting their images out to anyone who does adhere to the IPTC standard as some of your most important data (inclusive of location, identification, rights use, and copyright - aka IPTC Core in Aperture) are essentially lost.
Very disappointing indeed! Failure to adhere to industry standards are the primary reason I stopped using Windows products and made the migration to Apple.
Hopefully Aperture will address this in coming releases to include the extraction of Faces data into the IPTC 1.1 Extension Description structure "Person Shown" with an option to extract the Faces data into the IPTC1.1 Extension Models structure "Model Shown" fields.

What exactly is the "Version Name" to be used for?

Hi -
I just picked up Aperture and have been trying to figure it out. And to be honest, I'm pretty darn OCD about photo organization - which is one reason Aperture appealed to me more than iPhoto, which I've been using forever.
So I've literally been going around tagging all 4000 photos I've imported, but I'm wondering what the "Version Name" is supposed to be for. I've been told this is very important for when you create new versions from the master, that they should all be different. However the majority of my photos are just old high school photos and whatnot that I could care less about touching up ever.
So then what exactly should I do with the "Version Name"? Is this supposed to be a specific name (such as, "dan at the beach, edited", etc) or should I just called them something like "original" or "master"? Does this affect the actual filename? What is the general usage of this?

it's basically the name of the photo. it's the name/title that will appear in your albums, books, etc. if you have more than one version of a photo, you might use different names to distinguish them; eg, adding 'B&W' for black and white versions, etc.
many people; myself include; use 'caption' for descriptions.
