[HOWTO] Nautilus and mp3 metadata columns in list view (bitrate etc.)

Hidden deeply in the wikipages, I just added a small howto on adding music metadata columns to nautilus's list view:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gno … te_etc..29
It allows for Album, Artist, Track Title and Bitrate Columns in list view mode. A feature I was missing from Nautilus.

Retrieving column value from multiselect managed metadata column and updating metadat column in list.

I have Library having metadata column when a document is uploaded i need update another list with metadata column of
library in list.I have an event reciever to do that,Code is given below
public override void ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemUpdated(properties);
SPList saList = properties.Web.Lists["mylist"];
SPListItem item = saList.AddItem();
item["Department"] = properties.ListItem["Department"].ToString();
EventFiringEnabled = false;
item.Update();
EventFiringEnabled = true;
my elements.xml file is as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Receivers ListUrl="Documents">
<Receiver>
<Name>DocumentItemUpdated</Name>
<Type> ItemUpdated</Type>
<Assembly>$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$</Assembly>
<Class>MyDocuments.Documents.Documents</Class>
<SequenceNumber>10000</SequenceNumber>
</Receiver>
</Receivers>
</Elements>
but i did not see the the List column getting updated.But when i use the code to update a column of single line of text
it works fine.But when i do it for multi select metadata column in debug mode i could see its giving null value even though Library had column value.
Any pointers on how to update Multiselect metadata column programatically on itemeadding event in library to a list will
be helpful.

You need to use the TaxonomyFieldValueCollection class. The following code is from SP2010 but should still apply in SP2013. It is an example of updating multivalued taxonomy fields.
public static void SetListItemMultiMetaDataColumn(Int32 id)
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://basesmc2008"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
TermSet termSet = null;
TaxonomySession txs = new TaxonomySession(site);
SPList list = web.Lists["Shared Documents"] as SPList;
SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(id);
TaxonomyField field = item.Fields["multimanage"] as TaxonomyField;
if (field != null)
termSet = txs.DefaultSiteCollectionTermStore.GetTermSet(field.TermSetId);
Term term = termSet.GetTerms("sts", false).FirstOrDefault();
if (field.AllowMultipleValues)
TaxonomyFieldValueCollection currentCollection = item[field.Id] as TaxonomyFieldValueCollection;
TaxonomyFieldValue tfv = new TaxonomyFieldValue(field);
tfv.TermGuid = term.Id.ToString();
tfv.Label = term.GetPath();
tfv.WssId = TaxonomyField.GetWssIdsOfTerm(site, txs.DefaultSiteCollectionTermStore.Id, termSet.Id, term.Id, false, 1).First();
currentCollection.Add(tfv);
field.SetFieldValue(item, currentCollection);
item.Update();

PE 9 and 10 Help PDF Invalid List View Descriptions

Bottom line: Has anyone reported on these problems, and, if so, what is being done about them?
Until proven otherwise, I believe that Premiere Elements 9 and 10 Help PDF requires editing of its List View Descriptions which are appropriate for at least version 8.0/8.0.1, 7, and 4, but not versions 9.0/9.0.1 and 10. Please refer to the Help PDF Projects/View Clip Properties
for version 10:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiere...B-312BB3F13B11
for version 9:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Premiere...355c-7f98.html
Problems in this regard for Premiere Elements later than version 8.0/8.0.1 and not for versions 8.0/8.0.1, 7, and 4:
1. List View Properties display in text for export video file, no Data Rate Analysis graphs
2. List View Columns, no ADD to add your own columns, so only Adobe built in ones, and none of the Adobe built in ones, like Client, allow for editable text.
Comments:
Data Rate Analysis
I had read somewhere that these graphs appear for tape based rather than non tape based imports. Mini test: Premiere Elements MPEG4.avi import and DV AVI export of the MPEG4.avi. Results: Version 8.0/8.0.1 Properties for import in text format (file properties) only and Properties for export in text format (file + export properties) as well as display of Data Rate Analysis graph. Versions 9 and 10 Properties for import (file properties) and for export (file + export properties), both import and export text only.
List View Columns
1. If I look at the project.prel WordPad documents and the Client Column information there in each, I do not see any difference.
2. If I create a Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 project, set List View column choices Comments and Client, type in the comments and client information, and save/close/and re-open the project in:
a. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1, the Comments columns and its information will not appear; the Client column will appear, but its information will not be editable. (The 9.0/9.0.1 version does have Client, but not Comments, as a built in choice under Edit Columns)....the latter might explain why no Comments column except...
b. Premiere Elements 10, neither the Comments nor Client columns and their information will appear. (The 10 version does have Client, but not Comments, as a built in choice under Edit Columns.)
One of the Potential Problems:
It is well accepted that, if you edit a project from an earlier version in a later version, you cannot go back to the earlier version for editing. So, one potential problem that I see in all this is the loss of this type of information on upgrading from 8.0/8.0.1 and earlier....
a. If you create a Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 or earlier project which includes Comments and Client information in these List View Column choices, you will lose all that information in version 10 and have only non-editable Client information in version 9.
And, yes we have filed an Adobe Feature Request/Bug Form on this one.
Any comments about what I may have overlooked in trying to get those Help PDF List View Descriptions to work for me would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I definitely agree that the Help files could use some updating, Tony.

Problem with showing mp3 album art in list view.

Hello.
I have litle problem with showing mp3 album artwork in list view.
In SNOW LEOPARD all work fine, and all mp3 files have album art's preview in list mode in finder.
But in LION i have only default preview mp3 icon.
Option "Show icon preview" is already on!

I have the fix!!!!
I have had the same issue ever since Lion. Its been very painful not having album art preview in finder or the play button when rollover the file for so many versions of OSX. Today I worked hard in trying to solve the problem since Applecare support hasn't helped much, all they did was tell me to bring the computer in. The other main reason I got so motivated to try and fix this is because the DJ app for Mac only reads album art from the finder even if iTunes can display the album art. The other reason that got me curious is that my friends macbook pro album art worked fine, so I cross checked with his computer until I figured out a few things that helped and ultimately fixed the issue. FINALLY!
My set up:
- I have my full iTunes library folder on my external as I have over 700GB of music.
- It includes all my database files in there, which is very important as I have many playlist settings from over 7 years of iTunes activity.
SOLUTION:
1. With every new computer I have purchased, I use to just pressed option on Mac and press iTunes to locate my folder (which I have said is located on my external drive).
2. I tried today to press option again BUT locate and selected the default library in the user/music folder of my internal drive (standard setting from Apple).
3. Miraculously, all the album art appeared in both my external drive library and also today's downloaded songs on my Macbook pro. Ofcourse with the new default location I don't have any songs or data.
4. So I tried to find a way to keep this library data on my internal drive since it can help the finder display all my files properly, yes even have the play on rollover button but as well link it back to my external drive with all my 700GB songs.
5. I then went into iTunes Preferences/Advance tab and in iTunes Media folder locationredirected the location to my external drive iTunes/ iTunes Media folder. If it asks to collate data, press NO.
6. Then I quit iTunes.
7. Next I copied the 4 files to my desktop from my external drive as I want to keep the data I have made with all my playlists etc. The four files are iTunes Library Extras.itdb ,iTunes Library Genius.itdb , iTunes Library.itl , iTunes Library.xml
8. I then went to my internal drive User/Music/Itunes/ and dragged these 4 files I copied from my external drive into here and making sure to REPLACE the four existing files already there.
9. Next open iTunes and you will find all your presettings appear with all your music linked to your external. What this does is keep the important library files on your internal drive (that somehow makes your finder files album art appear), BUT to read also all the music mp3 files located in the external drive (action from step 5)
Presto!! All your music files whether on internal drive or external all the album art has appeared.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if there are any other questions.
I am on 10.8.1 running retina macbook pro.

Custom column in List view

Dear guru's,
I'd like to ask you if its possible to add custom column in list view. For example in tc. FBL1N I'd like to add a column with custom text (for example with value "1" for counting the sum of rows). Is it possible to do without creating custom program?
Thank you all.
Regards.
Michael.

Hi Michael,
It's not possible to add some extra text in standard out-put without modifying it or creating custom program.
For adding a column in your list view. I think this write statement will help you
WRITE 'You can overwrite the following line:'.
FORMAT INPUT ON INTENSIFIED OFF.
WRITE 'WRITE HERE'.
FORMAT INPUT OFF INTENSIFIED ON.

Modify columns in list view - add annotations

Hello! Does anyone know if we can add new columns to the list view of assets in the production window? My goal is to have a column that shows annotation information in the list view. Possible?
Thanks!

Yes, kind of. You can add (and subtract) columns to a list view by modifying the List (ASSETLISTVIEW) metadata group. You can add Annotations but I'm not sure what you'll see for a value given it is not a unicode value field. It might not be a ver useful field to have in list view.

Format for certain columns in list view control

I have a list view control and I would like to format the alignment for certain columns. I heard that the only way you can do this is by formatting the cells in excel. I tried this with no success. Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to achieve this. I am currently allowing Xcelsius to handle my formatting for money. Is it possible to have Xcelsius handle the money formatting and have excel handle the alignment formatting. I am open to whatever works at this point. Also I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,1,66).
Much Thx

Hi,
In list view control you can format the entire row only, not a certain column.
Go to property>Appearance>Text Tab>select Header>Format selected text->select the format.
For width change: Property> Layout Tab>check custom column width the click the icon and enter width in pixel.

Lookup Column Issue - List View Threshold exceeded

We use Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and we have 2 Lists in a site. Those are:
1. Customers List.
2. Sale Invoices List.
Customers List has Title field as Unique & Indexed Column.
Sale Invoices List has a lookup column (i.e., Customer) from the Customers List (Title).
My issue is:
Customers List has just crossed 5000 items. When I try to add a List Item in Sale Invoices List (where I have Lookup Column from Customers List), it throws an error as given below:
Error Message:- This is a lookup column that displays data from another list that currently exceeds the List View Threshold defined by the
administrator (5000). To add items to the current list, please ask the list owner to remove this column.
I have increased temporarily the List View Threshold Limit to 6000 Items. It’s working fine now.
Is there any solution to fix the issue without increasing the List Items Threshold Limit?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sri,
If this activity (adding item) is done programmatically, then we can set
SPList.EnableThrottling = false
but this approach is not recommended though.
Please let us know if this fixes your issue.
Thanks,

Display more columns in list view?

Is there any way to display more than the standard columns (filename, dates, size, &c.) in list view in the Finder? If it's possible to search for other attributes (author, EXIF info, &c.) using the find function, why can't this information also be displayed as list view columns?

Additonally, one could send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. If you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug/ER ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

How to Hide Size Column in List View

My default setting for the Finder is to have folders display in list view with the size column turned off. This works like a charm for every folder except the Applications folder which always displays a size column whenever the finder is re-launched (it's always scrolled to the bottom of the list too, which is weird). It wouldn't bother me if the size values were cached somehow and just updated quietly in the background but it takes quite a while to calculate each value and actually slows down the finder.
I've tried deleting finder preferences but to no avail.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
[The above was originally posted here [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9524102#9524102] but I was asked to move along by a surly faced police officer]

OK. Problem fixed but unfortunately not completely solved.
Talking about permissions and administrator issues made me wonder, so I logged in using my admin account and seemed to be having exactly the same issue. I was unable to set a default permamantly for the Applications folder. Except that when I tried to set a default in another folder (Documents I think) and restarted the Finder the setting held for all directories. When I logged back in under my regular user account it also held.
I have finally eliminated that pesky size column -- for good! (Of course I may want it occasionally, but that's at my discretion). The window also maintains a correct scroll point, corresponding to where it was last positioned.
I wish I knew exactly what has happened. All I really know is that fiddling (as usual) has fixed it and that it probably has something to do with Administrator privileges.
Thanks again for your suggestions and especially for being a sounding board.

Article created via ARTMAS05 and M.C. Reference article - Listing View

Has anyone ever encountered the following scenario and resolved it? We are creating articles using ARTMAS05 IDOC. We have reference articles assigned to the merchandise categories. The reference articles have the Basic, Listing, Sales, Logistics Store and Logistics DC views extended. The ARTMAS05 is created so as to extend all of those views when the IDOC is processed. The created article has all the views extended, but the Listing view is the ONLY view where none of the values from the reference article are copied into the created article.
If I add the Listing view values to the E1BPE1MAW1RT (and RTX) segement of ARTMAS05, they are passed to the article. Yet, I don't have to do that with the other views so it does not make sense for us to do that.
I am very interested in learning whether or not there is a solution to this issue as nothing we do appears to fix this. (Other than custom development.)
Thank you.
Dalia

Hi Anisha,
In IS-Retail, you need to maintain Logistics DC and Store View of Article Master.
To overcome this, you have two options.
1) Maintain Reference article in Initial Screen of MM41
2) Otherwise Maintain reference article for MC in WG21.
You create one reference article with Basic View, Listing, Logistics DC and Store View Details.
Use the reference article, while creating new Article master in MM41. Its not even required now to maintain Logistics Dc and Store View for New Article. For new articles system copy's the logistics details from reference article.
Carry out Listing in WSM3 Tcode.

Selvakumar. M

Selecting Categorized Message and Clicking Category Column Heading Moves View to Uncategorized Messages

Greetings,
We migrated our users Microsoft Outlook 2010 mailboxes in Cache Exchange Mode last week from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
ISSUE: Yesterday, one of our secretaries reported that when she selects a Categorized message from her supervisor's shared mailbox and clicks the
Category column heading to arrange the messages by the specific Category in the message, the messages do not automatically arrange based on the selected message, but instead the view moves to messages that have no Category set at the top of
the list of messages.
The interesting thing is that the user
is able to arrange her own mailboxes messages in that fashion with no such problems.
Any advice you can provide towards a resolution would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
LawTechy

Thank you for your response Allen; however, the issue is not with Tasks, but with Messages.
For example, if the user selects an email with the Categories "REMINDER", then clicks on
Categories column heading at the top of the window to arrange the messages.
(It doesn't matter if they arrange from A to Z or Z to A.) Then the window with the list of messages focuses on messages with no Categories, rather than on the messages with the Categories "REMINDER". The user then has to scroll
up or down to find the emails with the Categories "REMINDER" and the folder has hundreds of messages.
I appreciate the suggestions. I will try them and let you know if either works or not. Thank you!

Can't auto-resize columns in List View

In 10.6 one could double-click the divider between columns to automatically have them resize to an optimal width. I can't do that. Is this intended behavior? Note: I'm not using the new "Arrange By..." feature which disables movement entirely.

Wow ! - I humbly apologise.
I have 3 different machines with Lion and so have my colleages.
For all of us the two vertical lines disappeared in Lion.
We can get a vertical stretch icon by hovering the mouse over the divider and double clicking this gives the same result.
We have 10.7.1 - so what gives?

How can I view video dimensions in a column in list view?

This is the closest thing I've found to solving it.
http://forums.ilounge.com/applescripts-itunes-mac/231449-video-dimensions-commen ts-script-help-needed.html
I don't neccesarily need a "Video Dimensions" column, but if I could find a script that copies the dimensions into the comments, that'd be fine. I tried compiling the script posted above but it didn't work. I don't really know anything about writing applescripts.

List View COLUMN organization does not stick

i have been trying to organized the columns (left to right) so that, for instance, the size of the file and the pixel dimensions of the file show up right next to the name. i have been doing this in an Album (at least today) but i have not been seeing this "stick" as i seem to have to do it every time i open Aperture and need to see this List View in an organized way.
can anyone help me with what i am not understanding here or what i am doing wrong?
TIA

i would like to take out everything except pixel size and file size and i am forgetting where this happens or what it is called.
When you use View->Metadata Display->Customize,
to select the columns to display in list view, as Frank Caggiano pointed out, you can also configure the display order of the list items. Just drag the items in the "Display order" pane into the order you want. And this order will stick between restarts of Aperture, at least it does this in my version. So use this panel to arrange the columns, rather than dragging the columns around.
BTW: if you configure the display order also for the Browser view, and select to show the filesize and pixelsize first, in the metadata overlay, you can display the images with the filesize shown in the Browser.
