File Info & .png etc.

Hello:
Can somone tell me if it's possible to attach File Info such as Copyright to a (final) .png image?
I could have sworn that I've done it before but just now it didn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I've tried looking for the answer to no avail.
Just wondering.
Thanks for your time

Hi Kar,
I've been on Photoshop awhile, with all the changes, it sure is rough to keep up. New versions, new things to learn.
Photoshop CC? Open the Creative Cloud app, look under the apps tab and it should be on the list with an Install button next to it. Like any CC app, click the install button and you will find it in your Application folder when it is completed. Oh and install Bridge CC.
Anyway as for other metadata readers, I stay in Bridge, so I don't know of any off the bat, but you could check Google for Mac-based readers or even ask in any other forums you belong to.
Metadata is like labeling your digital files much like labeling the back of an old-style photo.
But the label can be removed, no problem.
If your photography is worth it to you, you have register them with the copyright office and use a "watermark" service like Digimarc that embeds the copyright info invisibly and undeniably establishes ownership if you go to court.
I'll leave you with this link that explains both. Read that and the comments.
http://phlearn.com/why-metadata-is-important-and-how-to-use-it
Well, I guess you have enough to put you to sleep
Oh and if you are running Windows and Alt 0169 doesn't work, use the Character Map instead.

Hi,
Did you install any application recently? According to your description, it seems like Shell Extension caused this problem, you can use ShellExView tool to check shell extension.

In 10.8, the file info window's "Kind:" read "Application"/etc. for 64-bit items and "Application (32-bit)"/etc. for 32-bit items. The "(32-bit)" part seems to have been lost in Mavericks. How do I determine if an item is 32 or 64-bit in Mavericks?

In 10.8, the file info window’s “Kind:” read “Application”/etc. for 64-bit items and “Application (32-bit)”/etc. for 32-bit items.
The “(32-bit)” part seems to have been lost in Mavericks. How do I determine if an item is 32 or 64-bit in Mavericks?

1. Launch System Information into its 'report' mode. (A quick way to do this is by holding down the option key while clicking on the Apple menu item, which causes "About this Mac" to change to that.)
2. From the list on the left, under "Software" click on "Applications." (If you don't see the Applications item, click on "Show more information" from the "File" menu.)
3. Wait a minute or so for the report to finish.
4. The last column in the report is "64-bit (Intel)." (You may need to scroll the window to the right to see it.) Click on that heading to sort the list alphabetically. Anything with a "no" is 32 bit.

File Info (Subject,Title, Author etc) are not converted to PDF

Hi,
We have a RTF file that contains values updated in File Info section (File>Properties in over versions of MS Word). We need these information also to be part of the PDF output in BI Publisher. Unfortunately BI Publisher seems to strip off these information while generating the PDF output.
I have turned on the "Accessibility Mode" and also update the properties section
"Enable text access for screen readers" - True
"Enable copying of text, images, and other content" - True
Has anyone faced this issue?

Got confirmation from SupportWeb that accessibility is available only for HTML outputs.

On my laptop running windows 7 most of the information has disappeared from the window - headings (file, edit, view, etc), address bar and navigation buttons - all i can see is tabs - how do i get the missing items to display

On my laptop running windows 7 all the info displayed at the top of the homepage window is missing. All headings, i. e. File, Edit View, etc. are gone. There is no address bar. There is no home button, refresh button, etc. My wife was using the machine when it happened so I don't know what she did. How do I restore these features?

Can't get File/File info to work on image in Pshop CS5 or Bridge CS5

After I've pulled up an image and I go to file/file info, I get a big white box on the screen with the file name of my image across the top of it, and nothing inside. Just a big white box. It's the kind of box that an image would normally go into, not the kind of box that used to show me all the file info. At that point my system is somewhat frozen. I can click on the top choices, eg. Photoshop, file, edit, image, etc., but the choices are all greyed out, forcing me to force quit. What's going on?
I'm running an iMac with Snow Leopard, have 4 gb ram. I'm fully updated to Version 12.0.4, and when I click on 'about' under Photoshop to see what version I have, I see Version 12.0.4 x32.

Meri,
This isn't a solution but a possible workaround.
When you view your photo in Bridge instead of using File Info, why not view the information in the Metadata panel.
First I would go to the Bridge preferences, Metadata, and make sure that File Properties, Camera Data EXIF and Camera Raw categories are checked so the info will show up in the Metadata panel. You can check additional categories to show more metadata. (Camera Raw metadata will obviously only appear if the file has actually been opened in Camera Raw)
You should find the information you need in the Metadata panel.
As a aside, are these raw CR2 files from your Canon? Do you have the same issue with .jpegs or .tiffs, etc?
Does the issue still appear if you run Photoshop in 64 bit. I know SnakEyez02 say it didn't make a difference for him. Maybe it will for you.
To run Photoshop in 64 bit, quit Photoshop, in the FINDER select the Photoshop CS5 icon (the application NOT the folder) Command I and deselect the Open in 32 bit option in the File info window. Restart Photoshop.
Good Luck!

How to make my old file info panel from photoshop work in xmp

Help. Not a photoshop guy but rather a genealogist. Many years ago downloaded a custom file info panel for photoshop which I used to enter meta text about the family photos I scanned. Currently using adobe creative cloud but cant figure out how to use panel or see most of my metatext last few version. Below is information about the panel. All I really want to do is install my panel and get back to genealogy. I apologize but not sure I need to understand the basics of photoshop..

This is the authors description of the panel:
Genealogy Photo (Private Collection) Custom File Info Panel 1.0 for Photoshop. 11 FEB 2007
Developed by Ron Reiger [email protected]
Please contact me to suggest improvements.
1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
The Custom File Info Panel is used to capture metadata about a genealogy/family history photo that is privately held (that is, the photo is not in the possession of a library). The metadata property names on the File Info Panel are based on my interpretation of the recommended primary citation for a photograph (private possession) (annotated, with provenance) as described on page 95 of Elizabeth Shown Mill's "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" and on my interpretation of recommended primary citation for an Electronic File (Image from Private Files - Annotated), Mills, "Citation!", page 81. I added a few more property names for location and date the photo was taken and keywords (to ID people by number rather than by name), the name of the person who provided the description, a surety for their description, and an informal description. Each field is discussed below.
2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
Date Scanned: This is the date the photo was scanned. Date is populated by Photoshop and is not editable.
Provider: The owner of the photo as of the date it was scanned. A researcher in a future generations will know who had the photo at a particular point in time.
Provenance: Describe as best you can how the photo got from the person in the photo to the Provider.
Description Provided By: List the person who identified the people and location in the image.
Description Surety: (This is an open text field. You can use any surety rating system you want.) Describe or rate the quality of the Description of the image's people and location. Note any uncertainties regarding any particular people in the photo.
Complete Subject Description: List the full name of each individual in the image, in order. You may want to list the location and date of the image even though there are separate property names for that data.
Informal Subject Description: An optional non-genealogical description of the image, perhaps for using the photo outside of genealogy. Example Informal Subject Description: "Grandpa as a young man."
Media Description: Describe the paper photo you scanned. Dimensions, border, frame, damage, etc. Your ancestors will have an easier time finding the paper photo later if you describe it well!
Annotations: Copy any annotations on the front or back of the photo and frame. Transcribe any photographer embossing/imprint; this is a clue for dating/locating photos.
Special Editing/Alterations: Describe any restoration you performed on the digital image. Did you correct for the lateral reverse of a tintype or daguerreotype?
City/County: List the City/County where the image was taken.
State: List the State where the image was taken.
Country: List the County where the image was taken.
Photo Date: List the date the image was taken.
Keywords: This is the standard keyword entry. Commas or semicolons can be used to separate keywords. I type the TMG ID number of each person in the photo here so I can search for all photos of the person without typing their name.
3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
I have not created a working namespace URI or rdf ala http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for this panel. I have not created localization dictionary files for this panel. Data entered into the panel will appear in Adobe Bridge. As you can see below I re-used lots of pre-existing property names and dumped all my new property names into the photoshop namespace. I don't know if this approach has drawbacks.
Date Scanned: xmp_path: 'CreateDate' Pre-existing property name
Provider: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Credit' Pre-existing property name
Provenance: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Provenance'
Description Provided By: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionProvidedBy' Pre-existing property name

Photo Date: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DateCreated' Pre-existing property name
Keywords: xmp_path: 'Keywords' Pre-existing property name
4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
I have tested this panel with Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge CS2 only. It may not work on earlier versions. FWIW a malformed Custom File Info Panel will fail to load in File Info; it won't crash Photoshop.
The following was taken from "XMP Custom Panels," Adobe, Oct 2003.
Each time an Adobe application opens the File Info dialog, it scans all the files in these directories and appends them to the file list. If more than one of the description files has
the same panel name, the one found in the last file to be loaded is added, and others are ignored.
Changes to the contents of the directories do not require you to reload an application; changes are automatically reflected in the dialog the next time it is opened.
The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Creative Suite applications:
Mac OS X
{Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
{Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
Windows
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or 6.0:
Mac OS X
{Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
{Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
Windows
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\\Custom File Info Panels
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Custom File Info Panels
I actually do not understand how to write a panel but here is the actual panel:

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

The "File Info..." box does not appear, how to fix?

I have sent this in on the bug fix form and thought id ask on here as well. Basically I am trying to find out the information for my document which I am in the middle of editing, though after clicking on file info within the file menu nothing appears. It wont let me exit indesign as it says there is a dialog box there, the only way i can "exit" this is by selecting enter on the keyboard before closing down indesign. I have tested this on a new document, tried making my screen scale smaller, checked the other desktops and I cannot find or see any file info dialog box when it is apparently in use. I am using an Apple MacBook Pro on operating system "Mavericks-10.9.5". I have done the same sequence of creating a document and selecting file info on photoshop as a test to see whether it crosses over all the software, though this isnt the case. Therefore I have tried to clear my workspace preferences and again to no avail. Can anyone figure this problem out?
Thanking you in advance
Nicole
P.S
This issue has been resolved after finding the below linked post. I reinstalled Indesign and it seems to work fine now, though if the error reoccurs I will add this to my thread. Also something that is worthy of noting is that I also use multiple screens, i vary between using the macbook's screen alone and that of the macbook plus a HD desktop monitor.
P.P.S
Further to using the guidance found in the below thread my illustrator CC has once again encountered this issue. I have been using multiple screens as usual and I am wondering if there is a simpler way to sort the issue out rather then re-installing the software?
Re: file info... window invisible

You need to burn the CD
using the "Rock Ridge" file extension. This creates
(or adds on to the CDFS, I'm not sure which) a Unix
file system which OBP can understand.No. RockRidge extensions only apply to ISO-9660 filesystems and they can only be applied if you're actually creating the filesystem in the first place. Installation CDs boot from a UFS filesystem that doesn't require RR. (Although they may have an additional hsfs filesystem).
If you have a .ISO file, then the filesystem is already constructed. You can't affect RR extensions at that point. Even simple little ISO burning scripts that don't have any understanding of UFS or RR should be able to construct the disk properly.
I have made it
to this point. I have systematically burned around 25
CDs (all made on Wintel -- an old Gateway PC running
WinXP Pro), taking notes on which configuration
settings were used to make each one, attempting to
install Solaris 10 for SPARC. I am at the point now
where OBP recognizes the CD (I no longer see the
"can't execute" error message), but it can't tell
which CD it is i.e. #1, #2, etc. So, I need to open
up the CD catalog once again, and try to determine in
which logical block the disk ID is located, and then
try to figure out where to enter that information in
my CD burning software (currently experimenting with
"Magic ISO".
Also, if you are atttempting to boot your SPARC
machine from the .iso disk #1, you will need to make
that CD bootable. Use your favorite search engine
with the terms "el torito" "bootable CD" and you will
discover a lot of information on this subject.The .ISO file contains the information for a bootable CD. There's nothing extra you have to do. You'd have to worry about that if you wanted to create a new CD and make it bootable, not if you just want to burn the Sun provided ISO images.
In addition, I'm pretty sure that El Torito is an x86/BIOS standard and doesn't apply to SPARC/OBP.

Bridge CS6 - No Right Click to get File Info panel?

I've recently transitioned from CS4 to CS6 and am very pleased with the many changes that have been made. One Bridge CS4 feature that I utilized on a regular basis was that of accessing File Info by right-clicking on a file or selection of files and then entering file info metadata through the panel that opened, and sometimes automatically uploading that data from a pre-saved XML file.
Where do I access the File Info panel in Bridge CS6 so that I can adjust metadata properties for the respective file(s)?
Thanks,
Buck

Hi Yammer, thanks for the quick reply.
I've since tested it on different files and on some files it works, on others it does not.
It now see that it does work on AI, INDD, PSD, JPG, and PNG, but it doesn't work on GIF... I guess that's a GIF limitation rather than my not knowing how to edit the info in Bridge.
Thanks for looking into this.

Creating a custom file info panel

Hi
Can anybody help, I have a custom file info panel that works in cs4,but I need to add some further advanced functions that needs to be done in flex builder.I have little Knowledge of flex so I am asking if this can be imported into flex so I don't have to start from scratch as we are happy with the layout etc and all the background data stuff, but we need to add functionality to allow us to pull in info from an sql database.
Can anybody help

File Info not saved (.gif) (Ps CS6 Extended, Mac)

I'm not certain that I've been building my workflow properly before, so if this was not supposed to be supported, I'm open to that possibility:
Modifying the "file info" for a gif file (in my case, "General" tab, "Document Title" and "Description") doesn't actually get saved with the file - or, at least, if it is saved, it's not visible when re-opening the file.
I believe that I understood that metadata for .png format isn't supported, but I thought that .gif was.
(Test case is easy: open .gif file, add a Title and Description, save, and re-open - information is gone).
Thanks for any help anyone has...

hi Chris & thank you for your response
it doesn't seem possible to add File > Info to a .png image in Photoshop itself. i've tried it a few different ways.
(shoot, actually i should try adding it again in Ps to a .png file and then see if Bridge can read it. hmmmm??)
in an other thread: [ http://forums.adobe.com/message/5642141#5642141 ] Gene told me that i could select Copyright and Contact Info from the Metadata drop down menu in the Save for Web panel to add the info to a .png image but this didn't work.
i don't know if Ps is having one of its "fits" or what but nothing seems to be working.
after a bit Gene was able to tell me that i can add File Info to .png files in the Bridge Cs6 or CC (no idea what the difference is between Ps Cs6 and Ps CC) and so i tried that and it worked.
however, it appears that Ps still cannot read the data/info when the .png image is opened in Ps itself. Only readable in Bridge.
which brings me to an other Q ... what's the point of Copyright info that can't be read? i am not being sarcastic i just really don't understand. granted, i need to read up on this topic but was hoping you could share your thoughts/knowledge w/me oh, and if you have any handy links i would also much appreciate it. thanx 4 ur help!!

Getting file info from CD

Hi! i'm making a CD cataloguer in JAVA that catalogs a cd automatically when you choose this option. The thing is that i need to keep the File info with the path in the cd, but when I look for this info without the cd in the drive it's impossible to find the data of the File object (i get 0 bytes, non directory and non file, etc)
Is there a way to keep that info without creating a new class for it? Or, do I have to create a class to copy all that info?
Thanks for the help! I tried to find info about that but didn't get much :)
Thanks again!

If you want to have file information when the file is not available in the path you will have to sotre that information in someware in your database or data file.
When it comes to storing. In OOP the best practise is to have a class describing the objects that want to store with the attributes that you want to store.

JSF1091: No mime type could be found for file xyz.png.

Hi all,
I get error logs in weblogic server like :
<ExternalContextImpl> <getMimeType> JSF1091: No mime type could be found for file xyz.png. To resolve this, add a mime-type mapping to the applications web.xml.
I get this for all the image files ... I found something :
http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaAPI/javax.servlet.http/webxmlmimemapping.htm
<mime-mapping>
<extension>java</extension>
<mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
What should I add (mime-type) for png files ?
Thanks..

You use 'image/png' for this. Refer to MIME Types - Complete List » HTML Elements| Learn HTML | Tags | Tutorials | HTML Cheat Sheet for more info.

Firefox does not display the basic menu line File Edit View etc. How do I get this menu to show. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that does not help

When I ask for help finding bookmarks, the answer tells me to click on bookmarks as shown in the illustration, but there is no such line displayed on my computer.

'''''"Firefox does not display the basic menu line File Edit View etc."''''': That is the Menu Bar; see below.
'''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) Firefox 3.6.x versions allow the user to hide the Menu Bar. 
*Tap the ALT key or the F10 key, Menu Bar will display, click View, click Toolbars, click Menu Bar to place a check mark next to it, '''''OR'''''
*Press and hold the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard, then release the ALT key
*See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
'''Other Toolbars''', see: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing 
'''Status Bar''': click View, click Status Bar to place a check mark 
'''Full Screen Mode''': If you have no Toolbars or Tab Bar: Press F11 (F11 is an on/off toggle). See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks#Full_screen

File Info just gives me a blank dialog box

I am just starting to use PS CS4. I am using a PC with Windows XP 64, 8 GB of RAM etc. The problem I am having is that when I try to add a caption to an image by going to File Info, I get a blank dialog box. It gives the filename at the top but just plain white blank inside the box. The same thing happens in File Info within Bridge. In the metadata panel in Bridge, I can see the metadata is there, including previous captions. But I cannot access them in File Info and I also cannot activate the caption within the metadata panel to edit the caption text.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how can it be fixed?
Thanks,
Roberta O.

Hi Roberta,
Create a new text file named XMP.cfg (make sure the extension is cfg and not txt).
The only text that needs to be in that file is as below:
C:\
Copy the file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust (create the directory if not already there).
Restart the Adobe application and check the File Info panel again.

File Info & .png etc.
