File Rename in Meta Data back to 2.0 functionality

In the past I could edit the filename in the meta data panel, now when I click I get the rename dialog.
Is there a way to support both? i.e. click the edit box and you have free format, click the icon next to the edit box and you get the dialog.

Renaming of individual images ought to work the same way as renaming a folder in Lightroom.
To rename a folder, right-click on the folder name in the folder panel. A box pops up already populated with the existing name. Now just click in the box and edit the name any way you want.
However, if you right click on an IMAGE, there is no "rename" option. You can press F2 instead, but then you get the renaming dialog box populated with the name of the PREVIOUS file you edited, not the name of the current image.
Sure, you can edit the name in the Metadata panel, but I often don't have the panel open or I have it set to show "Large Caption" instead of the filename.
It sure seems more intuitive to me to just right-click on the image. Adobe, please add this feature.

Why does Bridge CS6 destroy my SWF files after inputting Meta Data?

I save a swf file to my hard drive. Then I open Bridge, select the swf file, and type some Meta Data into the panel on the right. As soon as the data saves and the preview window refreshes, the preview renders completely white (Bridge can no longer preview it). If I open the file in Flash, some layers and text are now missing.
It seems that the act of writing meta-data to the swf file actually destroys portions of the file, and I have to go back to the original and re-export.
We have reproduced this problem on both Mac & PC, on swf files of varying compression & XMP settings. It is fairly consistent.
Has anyone run into this and if so does anyone have any suggestions?

Not a expert on swf files, but this article says you can not use Bridge to add metadata to SWF files. So maybe that is why you are running into problems. http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/190/862442

File JDBC & Strange Meta-Data

Hello,
I just had a new problem:-(
I hope anybody can help me...
I want to Insert a File via Jython and JDBC..
But imple SQL does not work without some strage MetaDate... like..
Select * from DDAA
/*$$SNPS_START_KEYSNP$CRDWG_TABLESNP$CRTABLE_NAME=DDAASNP$CRLOAD_FILE=...........
how i can generate this meta-Data with odi? i could not find any odiRef-Function to do this.....
and than there is a simular stange problem...
even when i INSERT to this JDBC-Connection a string and the string contains a comma I get an Error...
thanks for any help....
greetings

Hello,
i use the "com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.FileDriver" JDBC-Driver for an File-Datastore.
Now i want to INSERT and SELECT same data via Jython with direct SQL-Statements.
BUT:
A normal SQL-Statement does not work.
I have to appende strange Code like...
Select * from DDAA
/*$$SNPS_START_KEYSNP$CRDWG_TABLESNP$CRTABLE_NAME=DDAASNP$CRLOAD_FILE=...........
The JDBC-Driver seams to read the Filename and seperator... from this generated code....
I have copied this code from the Operator, by using normal SQL-Technologie...
The API <%=snpRef.getTargetTable("METADATA_DESC")%> generates this "strage code"... BUT2: In Jython technologie of an IKM it occours the Error:
"Exception getTargetTable("METADATA_DESC") : Es ist keine Zieltabelle vorhanden"
He do not find the "TargetTable".. so hier cannot generate this code...
Just when i copie this strage code from the operator and normal SQL-Statements work, I have the problem that i gen an error, wenn I INSERT a comma!
But I have to INSERT a comma!
The Technologie schould be FROM FILE TO FILE.... for this Project i do not have an Database for Staging Areas...
You see my problem?
Thanks....

Upgraded - how can I get my meta data back???

I just updated to Mavericks and installed iPhoto 11 (v9.5). It opened my library and said it would need to upgrade. After it did that, everything had disappeared but after running iPhoto Library Manager, I managed to retrieve all my photos. But they are in one giant event (12,500 photos). No albums etc...
I have (more than one) backup of the orignal iPhoto library, but each time I point the new iPhoto at an old version it tells me it's going to upgrade then drops me into the post-it note "To get started with iPhoto..." screen. I have used the rebuild options from within my old iPhoto (version 8.1.2) prior to moving to 9.5 but nothing has worked. I've deleted plist files, caches etc, following advice from the forums but still haven't found a fix.
Can anyone help???
Thanks

Script to enumerate, and interactively modify File Properties (eg. meta-data)

Hey Script Guys:
I am analyzing SharePoint capabilities for a customer and there are some things that they need that is not there, but so far it seems it is but can't be seen.
First two things are:
'Stored Procedures' - That is a way from within a rule or workflow to interact with an interpretive host. Right now I use REXX, which has the INTERPRET function. I can write a script into a text element, send it there, and get the results. Handy,
but rough. This is especially handy in validation situations, or re-mapping of data.
A way for metadata to be plugged into a file easily without using the Properties dialog (like read it from document fields, etc) so the Content Routing can be cleaned-up to be more fully automated.
Bear in mind I grew-up on Motorola Assembler, BAL and MASM to develop ASIC's, process controllers, operating systems and compilers, so alot of this shell programming is still a little weird. Be nice
JgEarl (FOG) sends...

File properties in WIndows are not part of the file. Some are part of the directory entry like the LastWriteTime and ReadOnly flag.
In Windows Explorer file properties like the internal properties of an MSWord document or an Adobe PDF file can be exposed if the vendor provides a support DLL that Explorer can use to expose these. They are not normally available to any program directly.
They are only available via the "Shell" (Explorer) or via the application that manages the document.
In SharePoint the "library" or other container manages a set or properties defined by SharePoint. For MS documents we may be able to use "shell" methods to tattoo the SharePoint library with this information.
None of this has much of anything to do with scripting. It is e3xternal to the scripting system and can be accessed by the product specific support DLL such as the dll installed by MSWord and Adobe.
To access these things through the shell in script we must instantiate the "Shell" object. In SharePoint we can do this prior to loading the document or we can load documetns that Sharepointas nan installed DLL for.
At this time I am not sure as to how SP does this. I recommend posting in the SharePoint developer forum for information on how to access and build these extensions DLLs. I believe you can also look it up in the SharePoint SDK.
Outside of serverside code or using a custom library I do not see how you can do this.
You can, of course, always generate a file of name/value pairs describing your files. You can also add almost anything to the SharePoint library structure or create custom types to display your custom metadata.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can Meta data be exported to a text file

Hello, Is there a way in Bridge (CS4) to export meta data from a group of photos (>100) to a text file? I want to track meta data from all my photos using a database program. I do not need the actual photos in the file, just the meta data so I can search it. Any input would be appreciated. thanks, Skip

Used Relocate Masters to new g-drive. Lost Aperature Library and meta data

how i crashed aperature
1.56 aperature
all updates current
tiger 10.4.11
all updates current
Goal was to move Aperature Library from MBP to g-drive.
what i did:
1. "Relocate Master" to g-drive. Success. Aperature still viewed all Files with all Meta Data normally.
2. Collapsed "Library" in Projects Panel. Did not delete Projects. Did not delete any Photos.
3. Preferences > Image Management > set new Aperature Library on g-drive.
4. Uploaded new photos from a Canon and viewed them successfully.
5. Ejected g-drive correctly.
what Aperature is not doing now:
1. no Projects show up.
2. no Referenced Photos show up.
3. no Vaults show up. Note: the Vault was originally on MBP, but I foolishly did not set one up on g-drive before moving. I also have a back up Vault on a different g-drive that is, unfortunately, not up to date with all current photos before move.
4. Aperature Library on g-drive is there but can not open any files in it. [note: item 3 above]
5. Image files listed in g-drive but won't open in Aperature but do open in Preview or Gimp, etc.
6. Aperature does not show any Vaults nor does it access Referenced Files.
*Can you help ?*
*I guess these would be the questions:*
1. How can I get the pics from the g-drive back into an Aperature Library with all the previous Meta Data attached to each Version?
2. How do I get the Aperature Library - I put on the g-drive - to open in Aperature?
3. If #1 is impossible - I guess I set up a Vault on the g-drive and move what I have from the back up Vault mentioned above.
*Thanks for any advice !!!*

If I an not mistaken, I may have read through your pdf's quite a while ago. I am still trying to digest them and then apply them to my needs. If I had known that small projects may be faster and easier to manage than larger ones I would have done my imports quite differently. I chose to use Aperture in the first place to organize and add information to photos. I archive old photos. In particularly from 350th Fighter Group, WWII in the Mediterranean. So one "Project" of mine is =/-5000 images in the form of TIFF scans. I imported all of these into 1 project. Then I started applying metadata and keywwords like crazy. This allowed me to start to sort the photos into categories and find multiple version of the same image. I started making stacks of all the multiples. Then with smart albums and smart web sites I was able to create what might now be smaller projects. Since I gather information from others by sharing these photos on a website, You are able to see the smart websites here.
http://web.me.com/vizcarraguitars/350thFighter_Group_Blog/350th_FG_Blog/350th_FGBlog.html
One cool thing is that various images reside in multiple smart webs based on common keyword. But now that I have all this organization, it seems it is time to put all my originals in a similar order via Aperture.
By the way, my files are reference files unless I make the mistake of importing them without leaving them in there original location.
I am thinking of starting over with blue folders. But I can't seem to get my head around it.

Quotes around meta data

Whenever I create a PDF document from within Microsoft Word with the Acrobat toolbar adobe adds in quote marks around my keywords. My tags/keywords in Microsoft do not have any quote marks and all are separated by commas. How do I fix this? I do not want adobe adding in quote marks automatically.
I have Adobe Acrobat Standard XI and am using Microsoft Word 2013. The problem also exists with Acrobat Standard X and Microsoft Word 2010.?
Can adobe please advise on how to fix this problem?
Thank you.

In Microsoft Word there are document properties. One of them is called "tags". When in Microsoft Word when I go to the adobe ribbon and click on the command "Create PDF" it converts the Microsoft Word Document into an Adobe PDF file. It also imports/brings over the document properties. "Tags" is brought over into the adobe PDF file in the meta data as "Keywords".
For example, if I have the following information in the "Tags" property in Microsoft Word: car, truck, vehicle, SUV
Now when it gets converted adobe brings it over into the metadata field of keywords but displays it as: "car, truck, vehicle, SUV"
Adobe adds into the quotes. Does not matter if I use semi colons instead. It has something to do with how adobe interprets the information from the Microsoft Word document. The metadata I am talking about for Adobe exists in the PDF file under "Document Properties", then in the description tab it mentions the fields of: Title: Author: Subject: Keywords: and there is a button also yet for Additional Metadata.

Is it possible to copy the iTunes meta data to the mp3 files themselves?

I have recently began using MS Windows 8. As a long time user of iTunes, I have a very large and well organised library.
The music app built into MS Windows 8 is something which I would like to start using. Yet, it builds the music database from the mp3 files themselves; which after using iTunes for so long contain little (zero) information to describe each file.
Is it possible, to transfer the meta data stored in my iTunes library and save it to the mp3 files themselves - so that when I open the files in another media player, it contains the same descriptive information?
In advance, thanks.

Normally any meta data you edit in iTunes is copied to the tags, although iTunes doesn't always update things properly if the files in question have two or more embedded tags. You can however move the entire library without losing any information as follows.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I synced my IPhone but OK'd the wrong button (back-up from old IPhone) and deleted all my data, such as contacts, pictures, videos, notes etc. How can I get my data back, restore all my lost file?

I connected my IPhone 4 with my PC/iTunes to transfer my pictures/viedos to my PC. Unfortunately, I clicked on the wrong button when asked to sync with the old back-up files and ll my data werde deleted from my IPhone.
Is there a program for the IPhone -as it exists for my Windows PC- to restore the data by chosing the date and time when datas are lost?

Hi Khuram1981 - thank you thank you thank you! All sorted! dont suppose you know how to fix another problem I have??? for weeks now, since updating to ios5 I think, for some reason every time I have tried to log onto app store it says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE. It's nothing to do with my computer, and I've been to the Geniius bar but they couldnt help and nothing I seem to do lets me update my Apps and even worse, I cant even buy any more. Any suggestions?
Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

How do I read my wave form data back from an LVM file?

I collected a waveform and saved it using the LVM file format. I would like to read the waveform back into labview and display it with its timestamp and assigned name. The only way I could read the data back into Labview was to convert it to a number array. I figured if you could write a waveform and save all its data, you should be able to read it back rather easily. I've included my LVM file and two simple programs. The program I'm using is much larger, but these two programs are representative of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Thanks

Hi Knoebel,
To display the waveform data, you'll need to change a couple things.
1. Open the "Convert from Dynamic Data" vi and change the Conversion to have a resulting data type of 1D array of waveform, as this is the datatype you are writing with the "Write To LVM.vi" Currently you are converting to an array of scalars here, which is why you are losing timestamp data.
2. Open the "Read from Measurement File" express VI and Change the Time Stamps to be Absolute (date and time) rather than relative.
3. If you want to display the timestamp on the waveform graph, pull up the properties window for the Waveform graph and change the Display Format to be Absolute Time for the X-axis and then check the Scales tab to be sure you have unchecked Ignore waveform timestamp on x-axes
After making the change to convert from dynamic data type to 1D array of waveform you can also probe the wire going into the waveform graph to check the t0 and dt values of the waveform as you read from file.
Lastly, if you look at the Write to LVM.vi block diagram, you will see a little red coercion dot between the waveform data wire and the Write to Measurement File data input terminal. It would be better to use the "Convert to Dynamic Data" express VI to make this conversion.
Hope this helps!

How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?
