How can I include metadata when importing libraries?

I've exported my 100 GB of photos to an external hard drive. Now I would like to split my photos into five libraries and import them including their metadata (modifications and tags, mostly) to my new libraries. Is that possible?

I actually copied the library with all its content to an external drive of 1 TB. My plan was next to delete all photos on my iMac and then copy photos by year into separate libraries. However, I was recommened to try software that allows me to organise several libraries.
Thanks anyhow.

How can I delete photos when importing from iPhone 4

I'm using Aperture 3.13 on Mac OS X 10.7.1. When I import photos from my iPhone 4 I am never asked to delete files from the camera roll.
What am I doing wrong? How can I have Aperture delete photos from the camera roll once they are imported?

Aperture won't delete the photos from your iPhone. Most users have settled on using Image Capture ater importing into Aperture to delete the photos from the iPhone.

How can I rename files when importing?

Is there a way to rename files when importing them? Every method I've tried retains the original file name the camera assigns (e.g. DSC_0001). I'd like the ability to rename the files automatically either with a date or event name with sequential numbering following.
Thanks!

First you will have to upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop where you can batch rename them before importing into iPhoto. That's a safer workflow IMO because you can make sure the photos are safely on the hard drive before starting any other operation.

How can I control dpi when importing with Image Capture?

This is not really an iPhoto question, but there is no forum for Image Capture - and I am hoping some iPhoto user has discovered a solution.
I usually import my digital camera images into a folder using Image Capture, apply Photoshop corrections, THEN move the adjusted and re-named images to iPhoto for organization and storage.
When I open the images for the first time in Photoshop, the Image Size box always shows the resolution as 72 dpi. I can easily convert this to 300 dpi in Photoshop, but I would prefer to avoid the extra step for every photo.
So far, I have not been able to find any setting in either my camera menus or Image Capture to change the default from 72 dpi to 300 dpi - any suggestions?
I am using Image Capture v3.0.3, Mac OS v10.4.11 and iPhoto v7.1.5
thanks,

Old Toad said: "If these services printed your files at 72 dpi you would end up with very large prints."
Obviously - which is exactly what I want to avoid!
In fact Photoshop tries to do that, warning me: "The image is larger than the paper's area, some clipping will occur."
Terence Delvin said: "When you print the density of those pixels will determine the quality of the print. So, change the density and the dimensions change. Change the dimensions and the density changes. See the relationship?"
Yes, I understand all that perfectly.
I guess my real question should have been:
"Are there any print services or page-layout-type software applications that honor the exif data and try to print or re-size using a print resolution of 72 dpi without making the user re-define the density to something more print friendly?
For example:
I have a 3936x2624 pixel image for which Photoshop's Get Info shows the print resolution as 72 dpi. If I drag that image into a Microsoft Word document, then Word does some kind of magic resizing to fit the image on the width of my 8.5x11" document. With margins, the image is now about 4x6". Looks good on my screen (but then even a 72 dpi image would, wouldn't it).
Obviously, MS Word downsized the image, but I can't find any way to make Word show me what print resolution it is choosing to assign to the resized image. It looks fine when printed, so I'm pretty sure that, in this case, something higher than 72 dpi was used.
If ALL software of this type (word processing and page layout) automatically ignores the 72 dpi print resolution in the EXIF data when resizing, then it's a non-issue, as you suggest. Lacking, much real world experience with print-based projects, I wasn't sure if it was something to worry about - apparently not?

How can I keep metadata on an embedded EPS file in AI?

How can I keep metadata on embedded EPS images (from Photoshop) in Illustrator, like it does for JPG?
The top image is an eps I embedded, and the bottom one is a JPG. They are both located on a remote server.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I do the same thing as you do...
My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

Applying metadata when importing

I want to add metadata from my template to photos when I import them; however, the Metadata menu only appears on the AutoImport dialog.
Help references the "Import photos dialog box", but it does not appear on "Import photos from disk."
Is Help incorrect or am I missing something?

You mean you're importing directly from an USB-attached camera?
If you import from a card reader, do the templates apply?

How can I include results of a subsequence, which runs in a new thread, in the main sequence test report

Hi!
I', m working with TestStand Version 4.2.1. I have a main sequence, which calkls different subsequences. All these steps are properly reported. One of subsequences runs as "new thread". How can I include its results in common test report of the main sequence?
I have markes variables of the subsequence as it is requred for test report (it works OK if it is not a new thread). If the the numerical test, which is executed in this subsequence is correct, I get no results at all. If the numeric test failed I get somewhere in the main sequence report a "red message", that test failed whithout any reference to the step or values of vaiables which were not correct.
I tried an option "On the fly" in the Report Configuration , but haven' got any useful results. What shall I do?
Best regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I tried it but without success:
1) I got a reference to the Thread as "Locals.Step1=RunState.Thread" for every of 2 steps which start a thread
2) I put both "Waits" after steps with (and without) threads, at the same place, where they were before
3) The sequence run OK, but when it came to Wait for Thread 1 it waited for ever, I had to terminate sequence
Does it mean, that I got a false reference (suppose No - please, have a look at attached pic)?
Or does it mean, that Waits are badly placed in the sequence (threads are already terminated)? Here is a pic of sequeces calls with Wait after them.
Regards

How can I include merged projects in the printed documentation?

I have a master project with several merged projects. This works splendid with online documentation, but when I am asked to provide a printed version, it seems I have to create separate documents for each merged project.
Is there any setting or fix that enables print also of merged projects and topics when I create printed documentation?
Pretty please with sugar on top :-)

Hm - there is a contract with the customer, saying that he wants documentation both as word and pdf, and as we now aim at only writing online documentation, these tasks create extra work, as we are delivering updates each month
But yes - two beasts, where only chm is actually needed we think.

Hi there
I'm a bit curious as to the reasoning behind your "persuation process for using chm-files only".
CHM files and printed documentation are two entirely different beasts.
Cheers... Rick

How can I include a portal component look and feel in a java servlet

Does any body know how can i include a portal component look and feel (tables, buttons, etc) in a java servlet?

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.

Guru.

How can I include 3rd party jar files with my custom extention?

I'm writing an extension that is dependent upon some 3rd party jars. How can I include/package these with my extension?
we're using the 11g tech preview
thanks,
Dylan

Do you mean that you need these files to appear in JDeveloper as a library available for the developers who build a project and use your extension?
You can create a library in JDeveloper with JAR files by simply adding the following to your extension.xml file:
<jdeveloper-hook xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jdeveloper/1013/extension">
- <libraries xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jdeveloper/1013/jdev-libraries">
<library name="My Extension Library">
<classpath> ${ide.extension.install.home}/lib/some.jar</classpath>
</library>
</jdeveloper-hook>

Manoj,
If something does not work then you should report back on the same thread so that there is continuity to the whole episode. Be as lucid as you can be so that people know whats the scenario. E.g. is not working is not enough. What happens? Does is show error , go blank, goes to another page... all that is important.
Its for posterity, down the line others will also visit the thread (may be).

On switching on, a message says 'Firefox is already running but not responding...........' then tells me to close it and restart but how can I close it when the page isn't yet displayed?

When I switch on my computer I get the desktop then I try to click on Mozilla Firefox but get the message, 'Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or resart your system.' I looked up how to close but I need to click on 'file' then 'exit'. How can I do that when I can't see the page yet? IE is working fine.
