Feature Request: AME Watch Folders file type filter

Hi,
maybe I'm posting it to the wrong forum. If so, maybe some moderator can move this thread to the correct forum.
I'm exporting Quicktime Reference files from Avid, which creates two files: .mov and. wav. Since I'm exporting it to Watch Folder AME automatically converts the wav also. But would be useful to "tell" AME only convert files with mov extension. It's of course possible later to erase encoded sound files but would be convinient to point out only the file types which require converting.
thank you,
Revenger

  • Use AME watch folders with preset ContentAnalysis

    I have to do speech recognition on a number of files. The AME watch folders do exactly what I want - automatically processing files put into a specific folder. But I am unable to select "ContentAnalysis" as my preferred preset, which seems to be the requirement for AME doing speech recognition. Is there any possibility to let the watch folders do speech recognition for me, like AME does if I select "Analyze" in Premiere Pro?

    As of June 2010 I no longer maintain this FAQ. I’ve migrated to Lightroom 3, which I use for all my organizing and most of my editing (I still use the Photoshop Elements Editor for more involved editing).  Adobe has clearly decided not to invest sufficient resources for properly maintaining the Photoshop Elements Organizer– see my Amazon review of PSE 8. Lightroom is marketed to professionals and prosumers with tens of thousands of photos who demand adequate organizational capabilities, whereas Photoshop Elements is marketed to consumers, most of whom do not want or use the Organizer.
    This page captures my answers to frequent questions about Photoshop Elements 6, 7, and 8 (Windows).  It’s mostly about the Organizer, since I know the Organizer much better than the Editor.
    The versions to which each FAQ applies are indicated with the notation [PSE 6, 7, 8]. If I’m not sure whether something applies to a version, it will be indicated with a question mark, e.g. [PSE 7, 8?].

  • File Type Filter: No video filetypes?

    I upgraded from LR2 to LR3 as soon as they emailed beta testers telling us it was available.
    When in beta I never really played with the video functionality - I wish I did so I could give feedback earlier - I am quite dissapointed in video support.
    None of my videos will play within lightroom itself (like their demo videos show) - it always opens them in Quicktime. Video files are from a 5D MKII and I am on a Mac running 10.6.
    I could live with that - but honestly the file type filter doesn’t display video filetypes? This means I can't create a smart collection based on filetype to see all my videos. What gives? I thought it would at least do that.
    I have resorted to adding a "video" keyword to all of my video files - but has anyone else noticed this oversight?

    The videos have never played within LR, only within the defalt video player for that file type.
    There is a video selection in the file type filter.  Don't know why you haven't seen it.

  • Specify file type filter in FileReference.save

    Is there a way to specify the file type filter in FileReference.save()?  It is possible to specifiy a default filename, but the user can potentially override this and the file type extensation can be lost.
    Any other options to work around this, ?

    I don't believe you can get that functionality using FileReference in Flash Player.

  • File type filter mystery

    I am filtering by file type because I want to make sure all of my RAW (NEF) files are converted to DNG. When I now filter by RAW within the file type I have 467 files there. These files are DNG files and I cannot figure out why they are showing up as RAW's. How can I fix this? With my workflow I should not have any RAW files in Lightroom...
    Thanks,
    KEvin

    I have seen this probllem of misreporting DNG files as  raw, but it was quite a while ago (LR2) and think it only happened when the Convert to DNG command was used. There must be a bug in there, but I've not been able to recreate the problem recently. For a quick fix, I'd suggest saving the metadata back to the files, then removing and re-importing them (using the Folders Synchronise command if they are in lots of folders). Hopefully you've not too much stacking or collections assigned to these pictures.

  • What does it mean exactly when the file quarantine feature warns you about unsafe file types?

    It says here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3662 that "when you open a potentially unsafe file in Finder, Spotlight, or from the Dock, the file quarantine feature will warn you about unsafe file types. If you open a quarantined file, you will receive an alert asking, "Are you sure you want to open it?" You should click Cancel if you have any doubts about its safety."
    Am I correct in thinking that when this ^ appears on the screen, it means the file you're trying to open is unsafe but not totally harmful to the Mac? Which means you can still open it and it won't be much of a problem?

    If you know that you went to web site shown and downloaded the file shown at the date & time shown, then it's most probably exactly what you think it is.  If a panel pops up for some software that should NOT have been downloaded -- as in a file that's part of the operating system -- then all sorts of alarms should go off.  This is a classic technique for password grabbers -- you open something like Software Update and are completely expecting to have to type in the username and password of an account with Administrator priviledges, but if it is some nefarious program that you somehow downloaded and has substituted itself in the place of Software Update, then who knows where your password and username are going to get sent off to!  If you got a panel like that and it said "Software Update" is an application downloaded from the internet.  Or "Mail" is an application downloaded from the internet.  Or "TextEdit".  Big alarms!!!
    This is why when you are downloading software you should  type in urls directly, or click on them from a search page rather than some random link in an email/ad/etc.  If I type get.adobe.com/flashplayer into the url bar on the browser then I know that I really went to adobe's web site and got the real flashplayer (unless something is REALLY wrong!).  When you click on some link it might be going to anyplace at all -- including places that you don't want to go!  This panel gives you one last chance to double-check that the file you are opening is what you think it is and it came from where you think it came from.

  • FileReference.save() file type filter options?

    OK, I’m loving the new access to the FileReference class to load and save XML to the user’s local drive without sending out for pizza first, but I have one minor complaint:
    FileReference.browse() lets me filter the read choices to xml files only, so I can strongly encourage the user to only open files with the proper extension, however, FileReference.save() doesn’t seem to support similar filtering, so the user can save data with any old extension, making it easy for them to accidently hide the saved file from the open dialog box. Am I missing something or is there a user friendly way to match read/write file types.

    I don't believe you can get that functionality using FileReference in Flash Player.

  • Feature Request - Options to Size & Align Type by Cap Height

    I have repeated this feature request at least a couple or more times in this forum over the years. It's a pretty fundamental, basic design thing that bears repeating until the feature is incorporated somehow.
    From its first version up to now Adobe Illustrator has only sized type according to the height of the Em Square. That's the standard convention for print and doesn't really need to change for print publishing. However the Em square methods are really pretty bad in other areas. Designers need pixel-level control for creating and positioning type on electronic, pixel-based screens. For large format printing, sign design and outdoor advertising designers need to size type by cap height in units of inches, centimeters or pixels when designing for LED variable message center signs.
    Adobe Illustrator currently can't even do something as simple as accurately aligning lettering vertically inside of a box. When aligning by way of the Em square the type is never correctly aligned. The fundamentals needed for this have never been present in the application. It really stinks. Designers have to employ all sorts of time-wasting work-arounds to get the type looking correct. This makes basic tasks like button creation far more of a time wasting chore than it should be.
    All fonts have built-in values that establish a capital letter height in numerical terms (the units between the base line and M height line). Industry specific sign design software applications like Flexi and Gerber Omega access that font data and allow designers to accurately size, align and position type according to its capital letter height. Adobe Illustrator can and should be able to do the very same thing. Not only that, but Illustrator could let designers size, position and align type in terms of inches, centimeters and pixels.
    I'm not sure how this feature should be incorporated. Perhaps it could be something that users can enable in the document setup. Or it could be an optional type palette. Nevertheless, it is a badly needed, very basic feature rooted in the core of Adobe Illustrator's vector object editing purposes.

    I'll also add this is a feature that should be carried over into Adobe Photoshop too.
    Within Adobe Photoshop if you want to size type in terms of pixels the type is, again, sized according to the Em square. Unless you're setting type at pretty large pixel sizes the rendered type really ends up looking pretty bad. That's because the edge of the baseline and the edge of the cap height line are never aligned to the pixel grid. You end up with type that's fuzzy looking on all sides. If designers were able to tell Photoshop "make this lettering 20 pixels tall according to the capital letters" the lettering would looking a whole lot better. Perfectly crisp edges on the base lines and cap height lines.

  • New feature request -- more flexibility in file management

    I'm new to iPhoto and hope someone can help.
    I have a large, existing image database (5000+) that I'd like to migrate into iPhoto. I have an established organizational flow where I use a third-party utility to rename my files using the EXIF date as YYYY.MM.DD_000X.JPG (where "X" is a serial number than is incremented automatically). The photos are then organized into a Finder folder hierarchy using YYYY/MM.
    If in Preferences I check "Copy files to iPhoto library folder" then iPhoto copies all my files to the "iPhoto Library" folder, doubling the disk space consumed. That's a substantial percentage of my Mac Mini's hard drive capacity! Worse, iPhoto arbitrarily organizes the imported files into year 2000 and year 2005 folders, without creating folders for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, or 2006. So if I import additional images in the future I have no control over how it will be organized in the Finder. My organizational scheme and workflow are hosed!
    If in Preferences I UNcheck "Copy files to iPhoto library folder" then I lose other necessary functionality. For example, if I delete a file in iPhoto the actual file WON'T be deleted from the disk (even after "Emptying the Trash" in iPhoto). I verified this several times. The file structure on the disk and iPhoto's library will get out of synch unless I manually delete in both places, which is unmanageable if you delete a lot of photos! It also wastes disk space.
    Can't Apple simply add a "Monitor folders" feature like Photoshop Elements and many other programs have which automatically detects when files are added or deleted from the directory structure the library points to? This would be soooo much better than forcing iPhoto users to live with the kind of frustrating trade-offs described above.
    iPhoto is the 3rd or 4th image editing program I've tried over the years. I WANT to like iPhoto because I really like my Mac Mini, but the reality is I may at some point want to move on to something better. If I use iPhoto it appears I either have to live with losing control of my organizational structure or losing basic functionality like having photos deleted from the disk.
    Am I missing something here? Is there a workaround so that I can get what I want from iPhoto?
    Thanks!

    Hi Phil
    Welcome to the iPhoto discussions.
    First thing to remember is that everything you want to do, all the organisation takes place within the iPhoto window. Ignore what goes on in the iPhoto Library folder, you simply never, ever have to do any work in there. In fact it is strongly recommended that you never touch or change anything there as it will profoundly affect the running of the app.
    Given the above, you can import your pics into iPhoto and then Trash your originals. Yes, once you are happy that iPhoto has taken all the pics in, you can throw away your originals, this eliminates the problem of the doubled-up disk space. But, you may ask, what if I want to keep my originals. iPhoto does this for you. If you edit or alter a pic in iPhoto you can always revert to the original as iPhoto keeps the original.
    <<So if I import additional images in the future I have no control over how it will be organized in the Finder. My organizational scheme and workflow are hosed!>>
    Yes it is, totally done for - because you are not organising the pics in the finder any more, you're organising them in iPhoto.
    You can organise pics in just about any way imaginable in iPhoto: by date, by time, by keyword, by ratings by a combination of them all. Want to find the pics taken in June 2003, no problem. Want to find only the pics of your dog taken in June 2003? No problem if you use keywords. Want to find all the pics of your dog that don't have your cat taken any month in 2003 except June? You get the picture.
    Drag a folder of pics to the Source pane in iPhoto, it will create an album. You can recreate you current system in iPhoto quite easily, and then improve upon it. Keywords are particularly powerful, as are smart albums. I have a library of over 8,000 pics, and as I import them I add keywords. With a smart album I can find every pic of my daughter that I have, and as I add more they get added to the smart album automatically.
    You can still continue to rename your files in whatever way is meaningful to you prior to importing. That doesn't have to change. Just do it prior to importing to iPhoto. The you can use Spotlight to find a pic called 2003.10.23_004.
    Or you can just drag it from the iPhoto window to your desktop and it makes a copy - your original is still safe. You can e-mail pics from within iPhoto and so on.
    The most important thing to remember is that your organisation is done within iPhoto. It does the heavy lifting.
    If anything I've said is unclear, don't hesitate to come back and ask more.
    Regards
    TD

  • Feature Request -  use native Windows file browsing dialog

    I'm not sure if this has been brought up before. I wasn't able to find anything with a search in the forum, so I'll post it here.
    An enhancement request for SQL Developer would be to have it use the native file browsing dialogs in Windows. I'm using Windows 7, and it would be nice to have a native Windows dialog pop up when I go to open or save a file, rather than the ugly (I think) default one, which must be a generic Java file browsing construct. The native dialog would allow it to include all the links to Windows 7 libraries, favorites, and other things like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. if those were installed.
    I'd be curious to hear what others think about this idea.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    At the risk of starting a Windows/Linux/Mac flame war, or pissing off Java developers, I'm not really into the whole Java write once, run anywhere approach. Particularly when it comes to look and feel. There are merits to cross-platform development when it comes to application functionality, but look and feel is a bit trickier. Windows has specific features that Windows users are used to seeing and using. Mac the same. Linux the same. I think this is especially true when it comes to dealing with the file system. So applications should adjust to the native environment nicely and not introduce elements that don't "fit in". Just MY $0.02. :-)
    I'm not a Java developer, but IvanG pointed out that it SHOULD be pretty easy to invoke a native Windows dialog box from Java. That would be my choice.
    Thanks!

  • Featured Request with psd layered files

    Photoshop Layered files that include alpha channel show the alpha channel visually in aperture thumbnails and previews. They usually look like white or black masks around the subject.
    This is a very undesirable feature. What is needed is the ability to ignore the alpha channel. This was done in iView several years ago when I was using that as my database. The software team in iView was able to quickly, in their next version, to add an ignore alpha channel check box, which eliminated seeing the alpha channels.
    I hope the aperture team will consider this as a very necessary feature. Layered psd files are just as important as raw files to many photographers. I hate using more then one database to manage my files.
    How many of you guys and gals out there are interested in this feature??? I personally consider this a very important feature for many photographers using a database type program like aperture.

    Theoretically, yes, but this doesn't actually always work.
    Despite Photoshop saving a composite preview, Apple's photoshop-reading routine also reads the alpha channel, and renders an alpha-masked version of the composite in Aperture, Preview, etc. This is true whether the alpha channel is visible/applied in the Photoshop document or not (ie, you can use quickmask to create a selection, save that selection, then have it turned off in your channels pallet, and it'll still get applied as an alpha mask to the complete flattened composite that Adobe provides, by Apple's photoshop/psd reading routines).
    The only workaround that I'm aware of for this, is to create an empty alpha mask as the highest-level alpha channel in any document that has alpha channels (visible or not). Select your RGB channels, create a new channel, select it, select all and delete, then drag it to the position directly below the RGB channel set, save, and then Aperture will display the image properly.

  • Feature Request - Support for .psb files

    So Great if Llightroom would be able to import and recognize Photoshop Large Document File Format (.psb).
    My Lightroom database is missing this very important concept.
    tiff files larger than 4 GB cannot be saved as .tiff Mac OSX, must either try to save as zip compression tiff files, or use psb files
    as working files, but then they cannot be recognized by Lightroom.
    Heck why ot add other formats .gif ?
    Is there some kind of technical barrier to this?
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE really on the psb.

  • FEATURE REQUEST: Preserve Transparency of Files when Opening As Layers in Photoshop

    I am a digital scrapbooker and I have begun using Lightroom to organize my digital scrapbooking supplies.  A file format that is very common in digital scrapbooking is PNG format.  However, PNG is not setup to accept metadata so part of my workflow is converting the PNG files to PSD files to retain the transparency and adding the ability to add metadata.
    This works very well for me - when I want to scrapbook, I can search for my supplies by color, etc. and then choose Edit In, etc.  The biggest drawback is that I can't do Edit In > Open As Layers in Photoshop without losing the transparency in the PSD (formerly PNG file).  The transparency is retained when I choose Edit In> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5 > Edit Original.
    So if you all could do something to preserve the original and still open it as layers in Photoshop, that would be wonderful!
    Kayla Lamoreaux

    Another request that goes along with this one - is allowing transparent files to retain their transparency in the Print Module.  I am building storyboards and would love to be able to add a transparent TIF or PSD file on top of photos before printing.
    Thanks!

  • Feature request : import/export .idea files with ITunes

    I know that you wants to developp your own cloud system but a possibility to import or export idea files between the mac and the Ipad would be very usefull for me. Thanks

    Yes Ma'am you are misunderstanding. In my case, because of a botched screen repare my ipad now has No wireless connectivity at all. The place that replaced the screen is over 70 miles away. Being as unlike Photoshop touch which has the option to sync projects through iTunes. I can not get the vectorized verzions of my Adobe Ideas projects off my device.
    It really should be a simple update to the app. Which would be far cheaper for Adobe to implement, than me buying a new ipad. All my other apps that allow me to crreate content allow for itunes syncing of projects.
    Then even if my ipad still had wireless connectivity some projects could easily be over the email size limit.
    What would really be the ultimate answer to this issue would be on device syncing between Adobe Ideas and Photoshop touch. Just like can be done with Photoshop and Illustrator.
    Adobe has to realise that the app market really is more profitable than their computer program market. Being as many many more people WILL pay the smaller price. Which opens up their market to way more customers. Add in the new ipad air's 64 bit architeture, and it's almost (almost not entirely) more advantagous to push the apps to full Adobe master collection status, and ability. It's almost a no brainer, being as it's much mich cheaper for anyone to get an ipad, a good palm canceling stylus and some apps. Than it is to buy a computer, a Cintiq, and Adobe master collection. Oh, but, if after going the cheaper route people got use to using and creating with the apps, they would be far more likely to then get all the more expensive counterparts. Though one has to see that by Wacom putting out their own tablets, the touch screen tablet market is the most cost effective and highest unit moving market.

  • Feature Request: save metadata to file, and read metadata from file.

    Please have function to save metadata to file, and read metadata from file.
    This would allow us to write cross-platform plugins that can assure data is up-to-date in the xmp, or modify xmp and have it reinstated in the catalog.
    This would go nicely with the ability to save xmp for virtual copies, dng, and rgb formats.

    Perhaps someone with direct experience with publishing to Smugmug will chime in.  Short of that, some thoughts on your issues:
    Should I not bother to "Save Metadata to File", this seems to be what is messing up the SmugMug publish service?
    I very much doubt that it is messing up the publishing.  What gets saved to the file from the catalog is independent of what gets exported.  Saving metadata to the file is generally a good practice (in case you screw up your catalog backups).  Many, perhaps most, users set the preference Catalog Settings > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.
    I would have expected it to behave like an export which would write synonyms, exclude keywords that should be excluded, etc, which seems to work ok in point 6 above.
    Yes, that's a reasonable expectation.
    You may have done this already, but double-check: Right-click the Smugmug publishing service in the left-hand column of the Library, select Edit Settings, and in the Metadata section verify that you have Include: All Metadata set.
    Did you download the Smugmug plugin from Smugmug? You might try this Smugmug plugin instead -- the author designed the publishing architecture of LR and has an excellent reputation. 
    Are the publish services more effort than they are worth? So I get SmugMug to work, what happens when I try Flickr?
    I think many users find the publishing services are generally worthwhile.  I publish regularly to Flickr (using the built-in Flickr plugin, which isn't completely reliable) and the Zenfolio plugin from Friedl.
