Import filenames & tags into spreadsheet

Hallo,
I have the following problem: I have many perfectly tagged files and folders on an external drive. I now want to create a list/ (excel) spreadsheet of all those files so I have an overview of what is on that external device when it is not connected to my MacBook. I think the easiest way to do so is changing dictionary to the external device in terminal and then use ls command. So now I have a nice list of all Files and folders. What I don't have and what is apparently not possible to get through terminal ist a list of all files and folders with all the assigned tags.
Any way to do this?
Kind regards
Patrick

That's probably because you, like me, are used to the stupid ways that Windows does things. Which means, things that should be simple are always difficult. It's hard sometimes for my brain to transition to the, "well Windows was hard so Mac is easier but not THAT much easier mode and ..." well things like this.
I also noticed that if you high lite several files and paste them into a non "text" file it will actually copy the -- contents -- of the files into the document even though you haven't opened up the files. This is cool too.

Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

If you want to import lots of calendar events into Numbers, the general way to proceed would be to:
export in CSV (character-separated values) from iCal (Calendar)
import the CSV into Numbers.
1. can be accomplished via AppleScript (perhaps in an Automator workflow) or, perhaps more convenient, a dedicated exporter app such as Export Calendars Pro or competitors.
2. Importing into Numbers is usually as easy as File > Open and choose the CSV file.

Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7?

Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7? I have a list of about 500 people and their email addresses in FileMaker Pro that I can export in a number of formats that can be manipulated. Is there any way to get those contacts into Contacts without entering them one at a time?

I have answered my own question. I exported the data from a layout in FileMaker Pro containing the required fields as tab separated text. That produced a .tab file that Contacts wanted nothing to do with. However, when I changed the .tab in the file name to .txt, Contacts accepted it as a file to import (File/Import). I then identified the field in Contacts in which the data in each field in the txt file was to be placed and in it went! The trick was changing .tab to .txt in the name of the file exported by FileMaker Pro.

CS3/JS: Code to import x-tagged text into Indesign

Hi All,
Normally we import text as X-Tag using Em Software plugin manually. We developed a script for auto-pagination in Indesign. But we couldn't find any JS code to import X-tagged text anywhere. So we used word file to import but facing lot of issues while importing word file into Indesign.
Is there any javascript code to import text with X-tag plugin? If so, kindly provide. It will be be helpful for us very much.
Thanks in advance.
regards
Masthan

An external plugin can only (*) be used in Javascript if the original programmers added support for it. Best is to check its documentation, and if it's not mentioned in there, contact the authors.
(*) Perhaps you can locate its menu entries and use those instead. I wouldn't know at all if that works with external plugins.

Importing Photoshop Elements tags into iPhoto 09 keywords

I am looking for a method of importing my Photoshop Elements photos & videos with their tags into iPhoto as keywords. I've seen several posts on this topic but none quite work for my situation. I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation. I have the following...
* iPhoto 09
* PSE 5.0
* 10K+ photos with an average of 2-3 tags each
* want to import tags for video clips as well as for photos
Here's what I've tried...
* iPhoto did actually import a random few pictures with the tags (maybe 12 out of 10K)
* PSE DB Tool to write the tag data to the files. This requires PSE 6.0 or greater (i have 5.0). http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/
* PSE native tag writing. Doesn't write tags on video clips and is littered with bugs anyway.
* Other tag importing tool at http://www.cv2h.com/PSA2iPhoto/Welcome.html. Does not work with iPhoto 09.
Any ideas?

The IPTC metadata is for image files only. Video files can't have that metadata written to the file. Application can assign metadata to video files but they are kept in databases associated with the application and point to the video file.
Some DAM (digital asset management) applications can add keywords, etc. to video files but the data stays with the application.

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox with tags?

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox Bookmarks Organizer so the tags port over? I tried importing but the tags are not coming over.

I recommend Xmarks. For the long-winded reasons why there's nothing better, read below.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/]
# Once installed, run the setup wizard and sign up for a free Xmarks account.
# Once signed up, sync your bookmarks.
# Head over to [http://my.xmarks.com/ my.xmarks.com/] and click the '''Tools''' menu option on the page, then choose '''Import Bookmarks From Del.icio.us...'''
# Enter your del.icio.us login information so Xmarks can import your bookmarks.
# You should see a list of your del.icio.us bookmarks. Click the '''CHECK ALL''' button, then the '''IMPORT CHECKED ITEMS''' button.
# When Xmarks next syncs your bookmarks, you will have all of your del.icio.us bookmarks complete with tags, in a folder named "Imported from Delicious ''date of import''".
# If you're the untrusting sort, change your del.icio.us account password.
There are two official Delicious extensions at the moment. "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-bookmarks/ Delicious Bookmarks]" which not compatible with Firefox 4.0.x, and "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-extension/ Delicious Extension]" which is marked as compatible but doesn't actually work.
@u48998 |
Slurp didn't work for me. I got all the prompts like I was supposed to, but clicking the '''Export''' button on the delicious page changed its text to '''Please Wait...''' and it just got stuck like that with no way to continue.
Apart from that, I was rather uneasy about installing an unreviewed extension from an author I've never heard of.
@the-edmeister |
You have that backwards. It's Firefox that does not either import or export tags from or to bookmarks.html. The only way to preserve tags when exporting is to create a json backup; these types of files wipe out all existing bookmarks when imported.

How do I import multiple images into single individual cells?

Hi folks,
I'm new to the Mac (yeah!) and imagine there just has to be a way to import a bunch of images into separate cells in Mac "Numbers" ... am I right?
Essentially what I'd like to do is a file folder with 600 images in it, and import those directly into Mac Numbers with one picture being assigned to it's own cell. So if below were a spreadsheet it would look like this:
Actual Picture - Picture Name - Item Description ... and so on.
I'm trying to work with inventory items, and this is the only way I can think of doing it. Suggestions!?!?
Here is a link to creating a macro in Excel to do a similar thing:
http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-269046-adding-a-loop-to-macro-to-insert-pictu res
Thanks for your help.

D,
I guess you're taking another shot at getting a response. You risk getting parallel discussions going with the same content.
What you are contemplating seems logical enough, but I think you will find that it is impractical in Numbers. Given the size of photograph files these days, you will choke Numbers in short order. You will have to be careful that you embed only photos large enough to be of use/viewable, and keep your full-sized copies elsewhere. You might find that an Apple Script can do the import for you, but otherwise it's drag and drop from the Media Browser.

Import People tags from Windows Live Photo Gallery

I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery for years and have over 15k images that have people tags embedded in the metadata for the files. I recently downloaded the Photoshop Elements 13 trial and am trying to determine if the organizer that ships with it will meet my needs, however, I am not seeing a way to import People tags from my existing images. I have imported the images, and most of the photo tags appear to have been imported, but not the people tags. Is there any built-in way to import people tags from the file-based EXIF metadata, or an external tool or add-in that might be able to bring my WLPG People Tags into PE13?
Thanks!

Adding a 'Me too' to bump this up. Doing the '30 day evaluation' as I'm looking to change only because MSFT has abandoned the product and I some better editing on things like 'healing/clone brush' for the picture's I scan (using the very old Digital Image Pro). Google's Picasa has no problem recognizing them including the location of the face selection (though it does like to recognize over top of them sometimes).
I can deal with some of the amazingly frustrating clunkiness of the UI and navigation (they seriously need to hire some new usability designers) but it is a show stopper if the People aspect won't recognize existing tags from WLG and/or Picasa.

Importing XML Tags in a document

Hello,
I've been trying to import XML Tags in a .indd i created, using the Java API but it does not seem to work (the tags content don't update when i export the document as PDF). I did the same actions in the InDesign CS4 GUI and it worked like it's supposed to.
I ran the InDesign server using that command: InDesignServer -iorfile c:\ior.txt -pluginpath Server\Corba
I included the .indd file, XML tags file and the Java code I wrote.
EDIT:
Also, document.getModified() is FALSE, even after calling document.loadXMLTags(...).
When I exports the tags, all I get is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root colorindex="0"><Tag colorindex="35"/></Root>
document.countTextFrames() returns 4, which is what is expected. However document.countXMLTags() returns 2, i'm guessing it's because all my tags are named <Tag...> (+ the <Root> element). Could that be the cause of my problems?
any help will be appreciated, thanks

Import XML imports the entire XML file, including the tags and the content, into the document. In the UI, the result would be seen in the Structure View. You can then work with the imported tagged content.
Load XML tags simply loads the tags into the tag list. In the UI, the result would be seen in the tags panel. (This command is also available from the tags panel.) No XML content is imported; only the tag list is populated. This is used when you just want the tags from a document, and you don't want the content. You can then tag new content using the same tags as the XML file.

Importing WORD doc into FM12

When importing a WORD doc with multichapters into FM12, do I need to seperate the WORD doc according to the chapters first then do the importing?

I would say it depends:
If your word document satisfies any or all of these conditions:
1. It is short
2. It utilizes few fonts
3. It does not contain graphics with text flowing around them
4. It has a few basic styles
5. It is "clean": no spurious font usage, no "bleeding italic"
then by all means, open it in FM
Otherwise, you might want to follow the process below. In my case, I have a novel I wrote in Word. It's 147,000 words long, uses several fonts and images. I opened the file into FM and it was not able to process it appropriately. Luckily, no harm was done but I'd recommend you do backup your word file first.
Here is what I did:
1. I created an FM template from scratch.
2. I used my template to import the first chapter only. In so doing, I refined the various tags ( I am assuming you are importing you word document as an unstructured framemaker doc) and created a few character tags such as "emphasis" for fragments which are emphasized and "thought" for fragments of text representing thoughts in characters' heads. These character tags are important for the editing process because by changing say the color or the size of the font for these characters tag, I can quickly highlight them and verify them. In the end, there was no portion of my text that did not have an explicitly assigned character tag, which is truly important for the quality of the text.
3. I ran a find on "character override". Since my novel was being edited by two editors, there were quite a few overridden punctuation utilizing the wrong font, or face or size.
4. I would then refresh the book to ensure the chapter numbering and page numbering was working correctly.
5. Once I was satisfied with a chapter, I would import the tags back into the template and move on to the next.
I am skipping the work I did on the preamble (first and second titles, copyright notice, acknowledgment, dedication, table of content, maps) and postamble (glossary and "about the author") but the process was the same.
This process took me about two days to complete. In the end, I ended up with the following
1. A robust template I can use for the successive books I am publishing
2. A cleaner text, easier to typeset and check
3. A greater understanding of the way FM works.
Hope this helps

Insert BASE tag into HTMLDocument problem

Hi,
I've made a prog that read the HTML content from an URL, and write it into a file.

first, thanks dvorhra09 for your help. unfortunately, if I use < and > instead of '<' and '>', the <BASE> tag is no more interpreted by my browser when the file is loaded, and the <BASE> tag is displayed textually. below, is what I tested :
htmlDoc.insertBeforeEnd(head, "<BASE href=\"http://www.google.com/\"></BASE>");

Ipad Numbers apps unsuccessfully importing Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet

Here are what I did. I first sent a Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet (the format is xlsx) to my email. And then I opened it via Numbers in iPad Mini. The Numbers was importing the Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet. It took about 2-3 minutes importing the file. The importing status bar was indicating the progress. When the importing status bar was about completed and then the Numbers apps closed itself. I first thought it completed importing the file. I opened the Numbers apps, there was nothing. I attempted opening it for several times but it ended up the same. That seemed the Numbers was having a problem importing Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet. By the way, there are several tabs in the Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet. Would that be a reason why Numbers couldn't import the file successfully? Or maybe Numbers only import Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheet with single tab in the file? Please help!

It's just general worksheet. No pivot table, no VBA logic. But there are several tabs. One of the tabs has formulas linked to other tabs. For example, formula like: '=Sheet2!B2'.
Its possible either of those could be a factor. I'm not sure if there is a top end limit on the number of tabs Numbers will handle (at least haven't run into to it yet). The formula syntax you have does not match what number presents, so that could be the issue, but I seem to recall it has not had an issue converting in the past. Could be wrth a look however.
