Import Meta Challenge

Your mission, should you choose to accept it....
I'm one, I know there are others. You know the tune: 30k-90k RAW images with meta data in the .xmp files. I'd use aperture but........
Can an automator action (or anything else besides one by one) be set up to take a jpg, tif, psd or any file with the identical name as the RAW file and then have the META lifted and then stamped into the corresponding RAW file in Aperture?
My situation: 55k images, ALL meta in .xmp files but I do have processed jpg's with the same filenames and ALL meta intact. I just want to lift it from the jpg and stamp it in the RAW.
Have you got what it takes to make this happen???
Good luck, this tape will self destruct in 5 seconds...........

HI Joe,
As a professional news and sports photographer I cannot use Aperture for this problem alone. I live and die by my captions and if a photo isn't captioned, or incorrectly captioned, it might as well not exist at all. Fixing the IPTC import problem is No 1 priority for me.
As it is at the moment only half of the caption (description) comes in and some fields are missing entirely. This is only with RAW files, JPEG files import perfectly.
Whilst we wait for this issue to be resolved (and PLEASE can it be soon!) is there anyway of working with the IPTC from the JPEG?
If I shoot RAW and JPEG together can Aperture show both the RAW and the JPEG side by side so that I can lift from JPEG and stamp the RAW with the IPTC data? Even better, can something be written into Aperture where I can select all the RAW & JPEG images and just select a command saying 'copy IPTC data from RAW to JPEG'? This would be a very helpful temporary workaround.
Finally, and I've put this in the feedback, can we have a much bigger window for IPTC data entry? Personally I would like a pop-up window similar to PhotoMechanic, and I'd like to be able to save my caption so that the next time I import images I can just selected the saved caption instead of going through all the fields setting it up again.
For Aperture to be used as a DAM for my huge library I need the IPTC to be fully featured.

Import Meta Data from CSV - Export Meta Data to CSV

Ability to import meta data into selected images from CSV file containing a number of fields, one of which is file name. The other fields would be selected tags to import.
Import logic would be, Where file name in column 1 matches current selected filename, then take following fields 2, 3, etc and import into Bridge.
Export selected meta data from selected files to CSV to form reverse of above to allow edit of data in Excel etc.
Further enchancement on import would be to allow instead of just filename, but date/time range matching.
Logic would be, Where date/time in column 1 is within X hours of selected
image creation date/time then import following fields into image meta data.
Useful for example if you already have a GPS tracklog in CSV and want to try and update images with GPS. Assuming camera clock approx same as GPS clock.

The issue was within the .csv file. There were duplicate records that were attempting to load as the ID value. After deleting the duplicate records, the transformation file ran successfully.

Import Meta data

Sorry if this has been answered before but is there a simple way to import my images, not from iPhoto, that have meta in .xmp files into Aperture. I do plan to keep my file structure and not actually import them into the Aperture Library.
An automator action perhaps?
I'm sure I'm not the only one with 20 or 30k images, meta intact in .xmp, to want to put this into Aperture. It may be the last hurdle to actually using the software.
Thanks!

Importing Meta through .xmp

Is it still impossible to import raw's and their .xmp files to preseve the meta data already input? I've held off using Aperture mainly for this reason. Lightroom is nice but I find it to be very slow in certain operations and want to investigate Aperture more. I just can't imagine re inputing 40,000 images IPTC information.
Thanks for any clues.

Aperture has been out now for some 20 months. Do you have any idea if it is even remotely in the plans to allow the importation of meta.
It seems like such a bullet in the foot for Apple to not do this, I'm sure I'm not the only one staying away because of this.
Thanks for your response though!

Import meta data file - bridge. Adding keywords to existing files

Hi There.
I have an excel log with file names in one column, keywords in another.
I have the same art files in bridge, sans any keywords.
Is it possible to import my excel log (or csv, or whatever format) into Bridge, and have it see those file names, and add the associated keywords to the files which have the same file name within Bridge?
Rather not have to keyword alllll the files again since I already have the data.

Can somebody new to Bridge CS3 and with no programming expertise import metadata into Bridge.
I have much data in a FileMaker Pro file.
Thank you,
Pierre

Import Meta Data to Excel

I have never needed it before, but nowe it becomes very important:
I need inm Excel the clip name and the exact lenght.
Before, I just copied the lenght from the thumbnail (not accurate, because it does not show the frames) and very big strain on the eyes looking at hundereds of clips.
Now I discovered the following: import all clips into FCP 7 go to metadata and keep only Clipname and Duration visible.
I selected all and then created a batch list, which I opened and copy/paste in Excel.
I am sure, there is a more simple way to do that?
Thanks
Dorian

Thank you, but I would be using this function maybe 5-6 x a year max.
So 100 $ would be just a bit too expensive for that.
Looking for a simple solution.
Also want to mention, I need only the clip number (which I can import directly to Excel) and the duration.
Thats all.
Edit: An Internet search showed me, that you can import a batch list (which is exported directly from FCP) direct into Excel.

Problems with Importing / Exporting Keywords and Meta Datas

Hi to all!
I recently upgraded to Aperture 3 and upgraded my referenced library.
Today I opened the Keyword HUD and noticed some keywords splattered in my list, which seem to be any older ones, since the new numbering indicated that they are not applied to any pictures.
So I deleted them.
Than I noticed the <Imported Keywords> folder, opened it, and it contained also a large number of previous keywords. Also they seemed not to be in use, so I also removed them.
Than I locked the Keyword HUD.
Now my question: If I export a version, with the option for 'include metadata' ticked, and edit the version than in Photoshop, and after it, import it back into the Aperture library I do have the problem.
I have tried 'Import Meta Datas' and and click 'Append'. Than it is recognizing the former keywords, which I would appreciate, but not as 'Imported Keywords'.
If I would open the file w/ the External Editor and return it back, I guess I would not have this problem. Usually I do open the referenced RAW file, and import than the edited version back into Aperture. Keywords are stored in the Library, so I would not avail the former given keywords than, is that right?
By the way are the keywords part of Meta Datas or not?
Are there any workarounds?
And had other people also problems with their keyword list after upgrading?
Thank for any ideas / infos!

Problems importing keywords with image

I have exported keywords from another program (IMatch) to both embedded iptc and xmp files. The problem is that I can't get LR to assign the keywords to the pictures when importing, or when trying the "import meta from xmp file" option. I have tried with both jpeg- and cr2-files (cr2 is raw from EOS 20D). The strange thing is that all keywords assigned to the pictures shows up to the left in the keywords panel, so LR somehow reads the keywords from the files and knows about the existence of these keywords, but, as I said, does not assign the keywords to the keywords field of the respective images. The keywords show up perfectly fine in Adobe Bridge.

Can't say, as I don't have Aperture installed- actually did, but trial ran out- to test definitively.
 
 Either someone with same experience will come along and say, or you could try a small controlled experiment to see if perhaps you didn't select All photos on importing the xmp file, etc.

Meta tagging audio files in os x

hi, I have just moved from MS to Apple. In MS I used to input important meta tags for mp3files (my own) via "info". When I chose info on OS X my only option is to use the field for Spotlight commentaries. But since I want to fill inn composer, year and so forth this seems to be to little.

once your mp3 are in the itunes LIBRARY then you choose command + i to enter your own information. Once this is done go to advanced and convert the id3 tag to version 2.4
You can also select a multiple number of files to do some of the information ; just experiment with it. Oh BTW if you are successful and id3 tag your files remember to copy these over to your older mp3 files where ever you have them stored and most of the information after you id3 tag them will go with the copy.

Importing existing database domain definitions into the DQS Domain management

I have databases that domain based with rules and defaults. There are approximately 400 domains and 10,000 application attributes based upon various domains and associated with a default and/or rule. How can I leverage the existing domains into DQS.
I normally use formerly CA Erwin data modeling tool. Is there a bulk import form either SQL server or ERwin?

Hi Peter,
I am not sure if you having problems getting started with DQS or you need to import (meta) data from a third party tool.
If the former I recommend you follow the
Enterprise Information Management using SSIS, MDS, and DQS Together tutorial. You can also get some overview information in the Microsoft Virtual Academy
Implementing a Data Warehouse with SQL Server Jump Start course module 6.
If the latter you will need to import the data from either Excel or SQL Server and apply all rules manually. Be sure to get your business people involved to handle (offload from you) all the data stewarding taks. The software is designed to used by normal
business people, so leverage that.
Good luck.
Best regards,
Arjen

Performance parameters of the meter reading result entry

Hi Guys,
Can any one explain me about the below parameter in the meter reading result entry.
1."No Entry of Tech. MRs at Installation Outside Installation"
If we enable this option,it should not allow to enter the meter readings in the technical installation.
But it is accepting. How? can any one explain.
2.Turbo booster also.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Oven
Edited by: Richard oven on Feb 18, 2009 11:41 AM

Hi Oven,
I hope the following information is useful:
No Entry of Tech. MRs at Installation Outside Installation ->
As a rule, technical meter readings at installation are entered using the appropriate transactions (Full Installation, Technical Installation).
In addition, it is possible to enter meter readings for technical installation before the installation occurs. This is done by uploading meter readings using IDoc ISU_MR_UPLOAD or BAPI. In exceptional cases you can also enter meter readings manually using single entry. The meter reading is then included once technical installation has been executed.
If you select this field, it is not possible to import meter readings at installation via upload or single entry.
Turbo Boosting->
Activates Accelerated Processing
Transactions and background jobs of the meter reading result
entry create a high database load. Excessive accesses to the
database tables EABL, EABLG, V_EGER_H, ETDZ, EASTS and others
affect the system performance this improves performance......
Kind Regards

Creative Zen (and other MTP players) and Amarok: A quick guide

Hi. Odds are if you're looking at this you've been directed here by a search engine because you've typed in something to the effect of Creative Zen+Amarok or MTP+Amarok. This is meant to be a quick and dirty little rundown of what you need to do to get your Zen or possibly other MTP player working. This isn't a scientific paper and thus there will be many many variables that may or may not have anything to do with getting it to work, and may not work with every other MTP player out there. Now, down to business.
The first thing you probably want to have is libmtp, Amarok, and libusb. In my case I did it with libmtp 0.2.6.1-1, Amarok 1.4.10-2, and libusb 0.1.12-3. Others have apparently gotten this working with older versions so if there is some reason you can't upgrade or you happen to be a time traveler who printed this out before disrupting the natural chronological order this might work even with older versions. If you do however happen to have an older version of Amarok you might have to compile in libmtp support, but this is beyond the scope of this little guide. Google it. Also my user belongs to audio, optical, video, storage, network, Hal, Dbus, and wheel. The only groups I believe are necessary are storage, audio, Hal and Dbus. But I haven't tested under those conditions
For some reason when libmtp is installed it doesn't install a set of udev rules, so the first thing you need to do is is create a file called:
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-libmtp.rules

LABEL="libmtp_rules_end"
This is the basic set of identifiers for Media Devices on Amarok. Amarok does indeed keep a page which may or may not be updated http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:MTP.
As it says on that page we want to make sure that the device is recognized. If your device is listed on the list above then you can skip straight to the part about libmtp but if it isn't then you need to start with libusb to construct your devices I.D.
lsusb-v
You should see a fairly sizeable output, but what we're interested in is at the very top (assuming you only have your media device plugged in).
In my case it's:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 041e:4157 Creative Technology, Ltd
and even in that all we really care about is the ID:041e:4157. The first number is the idVendor and the second is the idProduct. All you have to do is copy one of the other examples and subsistute your numbers in mind and name.
# Creative Zen
SYSFS{idVendor}=="041e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4157", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666", GROUP="audio"
You probably noticed that GROUP="audio" on the end. I don't know whether or not it is significant but others have mentioned that they could not get it to work until they had that. So I would add that to any device I want to use if it doesn't work and you've done everything else
Next you want to see if libmtp detects your device. Go back to the console and type:
mtp-detect
You should get a pretty long output something like this:

WMPInfo.xml Does not exist on this device
PTP: Closing session
OK.
To someone who know what they're doing, all of that code might mean something, but to me the only thing that counts is the OK at the end and that it obviously sees the device. If this doesn't happen it may be that your permissions for the 65-libmtp.rules file is wrong, So just chmod 666 for it and that should solve your problem.
Now the only thing left to do is Amarok. Fire up Amarok, go to settings. Click on media devices and add device. Very important. For the longest time I was beating my head against nearby inanimate objects because I had tried to add it manually before and accomplished nothing and made the foolish assumption that I had to auto detect it as all the people who solved their problems stated that they plugged it in and it simply worked. Anyways, add device, name it whatever your little heart desires (I simply named mine Creative_Zen) and select MTP device for the plugin and click ok. You should then be able to connect from the media device window. You may not be able to transfer any files without restarting Amarok like I did, but it's working now! Huzzah!
I apologize to the Forum Mods, I felt I needed to make this after all the time I spent trying to get it working and have no blog or personal website to post it on (le gasp! One could understand not having a website, but no blog in this day and age!? Scandalous!) and don't have any method to truly host it for long periods (perhaps indefinite) of time. This could go in the wiki, but since it's not focused so much on Arch I'm not sure if it belongs there.
I take no credit for finding this stuff, others online did all the hard work and this is just my condensed version of what I did. Good luck!

I was given an old 1GB Memorex MMP8568-SPT. When connected, Amarok detects it as an MTP device. What an unreliable pile of ****!
Anyway, I found the manual online and by holding the "play/pause" key down for more than three seconds, lo and behold, it switches to a simple USB flash drive mode which device managers pick up, drag and drop in dolphin etc etc. Phew!
