File names in Assignments Panel change when applying metadata

I have just discovered that when you apply metadata through the "User Content Info" window, whatever title you place in the "Document Title" field changes the name that appears in the Assignments panel. The problem with this is that we have asked our users to apply metadata using this window and to put the Product Title in the Document Title field. I had no idea that this would affect the Assignments panel. Yikes!

Yes that would be a pain if you had to do it. The good news is you don't. There a plenty of ways to get to the pics:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

Quicken data file names are mysteriously being change on my iDisk

Programaticly changing the (suggested only) file name in the save prompt when signing a document?

When you sign a document in Adobe X (or XI), the system says it needs to save the file first. Is there some way to change the (suggested only) file name to a different value for that save?
Right now, people open a blank form - lets call it formX.pdf. They fill it in and sign it. The suggested file name for the save is FormX.pdf. I can generate a unique file name which i'd like to put in place of the suggested default...

AFAIK, you can't do it with code. Your best option might be to use a form field to show a message to the user when they sign the document with that information.

File Name in Place command changes

I have Photoshop CS5 on a MAC and have developed actions that use the Place command.
The initial recorded action places a file called FILENAME.PSD into the currently open file.
If I use the Finder to rename this external file (outside of Photoshop) to FILENAMEBAK.PSD, Photoshop will keep track of that change and change the file referenced in the Place command to FILENAMEBAK.PSD.   My intention was to back up the original file and replace it with another new revised file. If I then put another file with the name FILENAME.PSD into the same folder, Photoshop will still keep track of the original file regardless of the name change.
I have also tried doing this with Photoshop completely closed and yet it still keeps track of the original file. Surprisingly, I've even moved the original file to the trash and the Place command in the action will still find the file in the trash.
Can someone help me understand exactly how Photoshop is keeping track of the file? I always assumed actions were very unintelligent and simply followed the instructions as they were written but in this case, the action is somehow linked to the file and it's not just the file name.
Any help/insight is appreciated.
Rob

so I don't know when this changed
To be honest, It may never have changed. Whenever I have tried to have files linked with Actions I have pysically replaced the file. Its very easy to duplicate files by option (alt) dragging them, thats how you create a copy in OSX. You then can then over-save the original with an amended version.
Another probably better solution open to you in Photoshop, that you may not be aware of, is to use Smart Objects and the "Replace Contents" feature? This can also be automated.
The problem is that what the Action step says about the files location and name is in fact technically inaccurate if you move or rename the file.
What I'm trying to figure out now is how I can manage symbolic links manually. Or, is there something in Photoshop where I can force the action to look only at the specified name and path.
I don't have time now to experiment with this now, but you could try rebuilding the "Launch Services" or "Display of Folders content" databases. I don't know if this will work. But one word of warning - Its not a quick process!

Using Spry.Data.XMLDataSet. Can xml file name be set to change on calendar date?

I have a website that uses Spry Data XML DataSet to list common pests for the current month. http://www.shspestcontrol.com/
Each month's list of pests is in a separate xml file (e.g. pests-august.xml)
Rather than manually updating the file name each month, can it be setup to automatically change the name
For instance on January 1st, file name changes to pests-january.xml, Feb 1st changes to pests-february.xml. etc.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Any advice if this can be done and if so how to go about doing it would be much appreciated
Thanks, Toni

<script>
var dsPests1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("pests-september.xml", "gallery/pests/pest");
function setPestsFile(){
    var months = new Array(13);
        months[0] = "january";
        months[1] = "february";
        months[2] = "march";
        months[3] = "april";
        months[4] = "may";
        months[5] = "june";
        months[6] = "july";
        months[7] = "august";
        months[8] = "september";
        months[9] = "october";
        months[10] = "november";
        months[11] = "december";
    var now = new Date();
    var monthnumber = now.getMonth();
    var monthname = months[monthnumber];
    dsPests1.setURL("pests-"+monthname+".xml");
    dsPests1.loadData();
window.onload = setPestsFile();

Same file name at Target with change in file extension

Hi,
I am working on File to File scenario. I need to create target file name similar to the source file name. This can be achieved by using ASMA. But my requirement is to change the file extension for the target file.
For example:
Source File u2013 InvoiceNotification.txtu2026.Then target file should create as
Target File - InvoiceNotification.csv
This can be achieved by using OS Command unix script in the receiver communication channel.
Is there any better way of doing this..say something like Dynamic Configuration or Variable substitution?
Thank you.

Hi Achuth,
I think you are doing content conversion at the receiver side. Go ahead with ASMA, get the file name.
DynamicConfigurationconf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKeyFileName = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(FileName, a);
return "";
In the receiver file adapter, keep the extension as .CSV. That's enough.
Else you can follow as said by Abhishek Salvi. Either way you can achieve the requirement.
Thanks,

Colour background images changes when applying effect

Hey,
I created a page, with a large background image in the back. When applying an effect (like shadow, or transparency) to text above, the colour of the image below changes, it becomes less saturated. This persist even when exporting and viewing in Acrobat Reader.
Im using InDesign CS3 with Windows XP SP2
Greets!

Try changing your transparency blend space to RGB.

Bridge crashes when applying metadata

I'm seeking guidance, but let me preface this post with some information:
CS6 via Creative Cloud
All applications up to date via Adobe Application Manager
All Windows Updates applied including drivers.
Currently running Bridge 5.0.2.4
Computer is:
Win 7 Pro (64 bit)
Core i5
12 Gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 310
I have used CS6 for months prior to this issue starting without incident.
I have tried moving the data to different drives.
I have checked/cleared/reset file permissions.
I have run drive error checks.
I have uninstalled/CC cleaner/reisntalled all Adobe products multiple times.
I have run Bridge in 32-bit and 64-bit modes.
I have tried to reset preferences and other "Ctrl" startup options.
I have tried to reset preferences and other "Ctrl" startup options after selecing "Run As Administrator".
I manually deleted the ".BridgeCache" and ".BridgeCacheT" files from the folder of photos.
Prior to this crashing problem I had already sorted and begun to apply ratings to files (Reject and Start ratings) in this folder without incident. I even applied metadata (Keywords) to a portion of the 1,321 photos in a folder without incident. The problem started when I came back the next day and started up work again. There had been no updates or restarts to the computer. The only thing that I think updated was Adobe Acrobat, but I cannot be sure. When I opened Bridge and began to apply Keywords to files the program simply locked up and immediately crashed. The Windows dialog box did not have any information or options for a crash report.
This is a normal workfolw that I utilize on a regular (weekly/monthly) basis and why the crashing is happening is beyond me. I have attempted to troubleshoot many different ways. Of particular note I when to a different folder of photos that had never been worked on before with Bridge and was able to apply the same workflow without incident.
Here is an excerpt from the Windows Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: Bridge.exe, version: 5.0.2.4, time stamp: 0x50d9a019
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17725, time stamp: 0x4ec4aa8e
Exception code: 0xc0000374
Fault offset: 0x00000000000c40f2
Faulting process id: 0x12d0
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce461c31a0ba90
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS6 (64 Bit)\Bridge.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: 60e3cf2b-b210-11e2-834c-f04da2db0ae0
At this time I cannot difinitively confirm that the files themselves are causing the issue but I will attempt some additional troubleshooting. At this point I'm not overly impatient because I've already lost the revenue opportunity for selling these photos to customers because the error first started several days ago (4/28/2013 09:31:35 PM was first crash). However, at this point I am will not entertain the wasting of time by uninstalling all Adobe products, running CC cleaner, and re-installing the products I use.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try for resolution or troubleshooting?

I'm wondering if it could be the SD card? Mine was a cheap brand and I wonder if the invalid handler could be the issue.
No experience with all of this, use a Mac, Canon and a CF card that I place in a Card reader and use import via Adobe Photodownloader.
But here is my question, what do you do you with the SD card when your files are copied to the system?
My workflow is to import the files (including convert to DNG and back up original Raw to second disk, renaming and copyright template)
But when I have checked my files are OK on the system and I need the CF card for a new job I always put the card back in the camera and use the camera menu itself to format the card.
I long ago stopped using the delete all function because this used to build up certain data files and that is not the case when you use format.
I do so every time and while I have used a lot of CF cards (from 128 MB in 2001 to current 32 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro UDMA 7) The only problems I had was losing them.
Never managed to break one down (not even in the washing machine…) and from about 2003 I always have used the format method for every time I needed to remove the files from the card.
I don't know much about the difference between inferior manufactures and the superior brands, I find it hard to believe that this would cause your problem alone (If you did not format I would try that first).
Having said that I would never choose to use other then top quality cards like Lexar and Sandisk and also the fastest or the nearly fastest.
If you have a cheap compact camera (but then you probably would not visit this forum…) I can image (but do not approve) you include a cheap SD card also. But spending up to 1000 dollar or much more for a nice dSLR and save money on a cheap card instead of using a trustful medium to write your precious files on is not the best workflow.
CF cards and SD card are very cheap nowadays.
To compare, the 128 MB in 2001 was about 600 dollar, the super fast and reliable Sandisk Extreme Pro 32 GB was around 200 dollars.
You can do the math yourself but on my calculator this means three times as cheap while 256 times more space…

High CPU and Delay when applying metadata

Hi All:
I have an issue where my CPU hits 60% when applying keywords. This can be when I apply it to one image or to 100s. Obviously, when I have more pictures selected or more keywords, there is a much larger delay.
Ideas from anyone?
Thanks

Hi All,
There is a workaround to resolve this issue. As it is related to modifying registry, please be very careful and take backup of your registry first.
The workaround is to set the value of "Disable Performance Counters" to 0 @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PerfProc\Performance
If this registry entry is not present, create one. Meanwhile, we are working on fixing this issue.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Deepika
PS: Edit the Registry at your own risk. Inappropriate changes to the Windows Registry can disable the operating system! To safeguard against such an accident, back up your existing registry by choosing Registry » Export Registry File after launching the Registry Editor and before making any changes

Why when I change itunes file name does it not change the info in the folder?

So you download music it has it's info in the folders if you click in the order of music- artist- album - then it displays the file
Q1, if you edit the iTunes name of the file (through iTunes) why does it leave the folder name the same??
Q2, How can you make what displays in your iTunes library (worded wise) display like that in your windows folders without going through each file 1 by 1 twice?

Check your setting under Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized.
Changes in capital letters may not be enforced.

Style sheet changing when applied to text within a table

Hi everyone,
I'm using ID CS2.
I've defined a paragraph style sheet with the regular weight of a certain typeface, however when I apply this style to text within a table, the typeface changes to the bold version of the font even though the regular version is specified in the style.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with styles being applied to tables or is it a sign of a corrupt file or something? Is there a fix?
Thanks

Is there a character style applied to the table or text in the table. I had many issues with this over-riding my paragraph style.

SEARCH results - shows file name. Can I change this?

I am using TCS2 in Windows XP.
In Robohelp when you search the online help, it brings back the search results but they are displayed under the filename heading. Can I change that? I don't necessarily want my filename displayed to users... maybe the Chapter name?
TIA
-Adriana

Hi--
I have no solution yet but am having very much the same problem, and would like to get in on this conversation while I continue experimenting. I'm working TCS2 (Frame 9 and Robo 8), linking the Frame book to Robo to create CSH. I'm a long-time Framer but a newbie to Robo and TCS2.
As far as I can tell from reading through the thread, I've got some kind of variation going: some of my CSH Search results show the heading, and some show the filename. I haven't yet discovered what is the difference in the Frame file, although I believe that's where I'll find it. It's consistent from search to search. (That is, if it a topic shows up in Search results as the filename once, it does so consistently. Ditto others showing up as the heading.)
In addition to hereby signaling moral support (!) and an interest in a solution, I'd like to provide my settings here and see how yours compare.
The marker I created to manage output CSH filenames is "FileName." I'm working with engineers who are not native English speakers and have never implemented CSH. For the 30 or so (out of 75) topics that actually are going to be linked from the application, I created FileName marker text that starts with "LinkTo_<menupath>." (Example: "LinkTo_WebSecurity_ServerSecurityGroups_Adding.") The idea is to help them see what to link up where. (It also made editing map IDs faster: I just select and automap any topic name starting with LinkTo_.)
So I'm getting Search results that look like this:
Things to know about xyz
text text text...
LinkTo_Statistics_Events
text text text...
My "File > Project Settings > Edit conversion settings... > Other" settings are:
Context Sensitive Help Marker: blank
Topic Name Pattern: grayed out but is "(Default)"
Topic Name Marker: FileName
Not sure this is optimum. (As I said, a Robo newbie.) Also, my chapter titles and H1 thru H3 are set up to paginate, although I realized later that filling Topic Name Marker field disables pagination.
Thanks, will keep working on it --

Create a DNG file that does not show changes when viewed by others

I am adjusting my RAW Images in Adobe Lightroom and want to export them as DNG without betraying the evidence of my post production efforts- is there a way to save an altered file as a DNG without showing the client which changes I have made when they open and review the files in CS3 (bridge/camera raw)?

> is there a way to save an altered file as a DNG without showing the client which changes I have made when they open and review the files in CS3 (bridge/camera raw)?
The raw data itself is not affected by the adjustments, only the metadata. This means, that the adjustments you made are recorded in the DNG file in XMP format, which is quite clear-text, like
> +1.0
   25
   0
   False
   Custom
     0, 0
     22, 30
     51, 68
     128, 128
     206, 149
     255, 255
As this can be seen by anyone, who knows where and what for to look, you need to have ACR record the adjustments in XMP sidecar files (which is a better way anyway, you can archive the original file and the adjustments separate).

IPhone photo file name. Can you change them to the date?

Maybe this isn't possible. But I would really like to know if there is any way to change the way the iphone files the pictures that you take with the camera.
For example when you take a picture its stored in the iphone as "IMG_001". I really need to make it so its the date and time for example "08-18-08_1424".
Let me know I really appreciate it

As far as I know, there is not a way to do this.
Perhaps there is an app in the App Store.
Sorry, I don't know more.
