Importing metadata from My Pictures in Windows

Hi - Some of my jpegs in My Pictures in Windows 8 have data that I would like to have imported into LIghtroom. In Windows, each jpeg has "Properties", and in the "Properties" dialogue box, there are General, Security & Details tabs. On the Details tab is an area for Comments. It is these Comments that I would like to be included when I sync and/or import into Lightroom 5.5. However, this does not seem to occur. While viewing the Metadata for a picture in Lightroom (Library module), there is a Comments area, but my screen shows the message "Selected Service Does Not Support Comments".
So, my 2 questions are: Is there a way to include the Comments data that had been entered on the original photo so that the data can be viewed/edited in Lightroom? What does the message "Selected Service Does Not Support Comments" mean?
Thank you.
Donna

In Windows, each jpeg has "Properties", and in the "Properties" dialogue box, there are General, Security & Details tabs. On the Details tab is an area for Comments. It is these Comments that I would like to be included when I sync and/or import into Lightroom 5.5.
This is a non-industry-standard metadata field introduced by Windows XP, and most other software (including LR) ignores it. If you'd like to import that field into LR, you could use Exiftool (free) to copy (or append) that field into the field that LR will read as its caption (XMP:Description). Exiftool has the ability to process many photos all at once and make backups of the originals.
While viewing the Metadata for a picture in Lightroom (Library module), there is a Comments area, but my screen shows the message "Selected Service Does Not Support Comments".
LR has the ability to publish collections of pics to services like Flickr or Facebook and sync those collections with the services. If, for example, a Flickr user adds a comment at Flickr.com to a pic that's being synced with a LR published collection, LR will download the comment and show it in the Comments area. This feature has very limited usefulness, since you can't copy text from the Comments field (!) and you can't search the field, or even search for photos that have comments.

Importing metadata from other catalogs

Can aperture import metadata from any programs except iPhoto? If not then is the only way to get data on old files into Aperture via embedded IPTC metadata? iView Media Pro and Extensis Portfolio can export metadata databases. I've got about 3000 keyworded photos in a Portfolio catalog - the keywords have not been embedded into the files and I was hoping to import the database into Aperture

Aperture imported basic metadata (Byline, State, etc.) that I had entered on some jpegs. However, it did not import anything on the thousands of DNG's I imported. Also didn't import anything one several test CRW+xmp sidecar files.
I'm guessing Aperture is taking the stance that the RAW files should never be modified... and if one follows that rule to the extreme, how would any RAW file have any IPTC metadata to import in the first place? So it doesn't bother to check for it, at least in my case.
I'm guessing any program that has a scripting interface that accesses metadata fields will be able to be scripted so one can transfer metadata. They basically work like this:
tell application Iview to get "city" metadata from "picture 1" and put this metadata in "city" metadata in "picture 1" in application Aperture.
This obviously isn't correct syntax, but there is no reason why you couldn't ask for a specific field of metadata from one program and store it in a completely different field, thus making up your own "custom" mapping. For example, you could ask for the "city" in one program and map it to the "Byline" in another program, if both programs expose these fields and the ability to read/write to them via Applescript.

Will Aperture Import Metadata from Windows?

I have been using Windws Live Photo Gallery to edit and organize a library of about 100k JPGs. I have added faces, GPS, Keywords, ratings, and captions to the pitcures. All of this information is stored in the metadata of each picture.
I have used iPhoto in the past and would like to move back to my Mac for editing/organizing my library. If my memory is correct, iPhoto only really imprts the keywords and GPS data, not the ratings or captions.
Does Aperture import more of the metadata?
Also, does Aperture support expoting the metadata (Keywords, Ratings, GPS) to the file? I seem to recall iphoto allows you to export the keywords and GPS, but not the ratings.
I was thinking that if iPhoto nor Aperture does not import/export ratings, I could do a work around by selecting my photos by rating and then just add keywords based on those ratings. (one-star, two-star, etc). I could then do a reverse process in Aperture/iPhoto... Select the keywords and then give the photos the ratings.
Am I making any sense?

Hi Mike. I don't know the answer to your larger question (though you might try with a few images and see what you get). I do know that what you propose here:

works, and works well. I have done this a few times (for ratings as well as for color labels and for other groupings). In practice, it goes quickly. Every "tag" of information that you can translate to a keyword will be preserved, and within the limits of the "moving to" software can be re-assigned.
(Don't get fancy with a keyword outline, though: Aperture flattens any keyword outline on import and leaves you with a simple single-level list of keywords. You can't group your keywords, but with clever naming: e.g. "StarOne", "StarTwo", "StarThree", you can at least have these show next to each other in an alpha-sorted list. Similarly, "ColorRed", "ColorBlue", etc. Although I've not seen any problems recently, I still avoid non alpha-numeric characters, including {space}.)

Problems when trying to import metadata from SQL server using OWB

Hi,
We are using Oracle 11.2 EE on AIX and OWB: 11.2. We are in the process testing Oracle Transparent gateway for SQL Server and have installed and configured it on a standalone windows server. We and have run the ORACLE_HOME\dg4msql\admin\dg4msql_cvw.sql on SQL Server side, in order to query the SQL-Server data dictionary. We have created a DB-link and can pull data correctly without any problems. When trying to import metadata in OWB Client on win xp, we have created a non-oracle SQL Server Module and are able to connect and start the import, but the displayed table names look strange and can not be imported. In front of every letter there is a square box, so instead of ADDRESS (the address table in the source system) , it reads "squarebox"A"squarebox"D"squarebox"D"squarebox"R"squarebox"E"squarebox"S"squarebox"S and subsequently the import fails with :API0413: Illegal name [<tablename>] Name with preceding and trailing spaces is not allowed.
The gateway have been configured with the following parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=<connect string>
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Any ideas ?
This topic has been posted in the Heterogenious Forum as well, but as the problem is within OWB, I also post it here.
Thanks in advance!
Henrik

Henrik,
I've found other problems where OWB adds a space between all characters returned from SQL*Server which is what is happening in your case, although it is being displayed as a square box.
In one of these cases the problem was fixed by using the 11.2.0.2 OWB so would it be possible for you to try with that version ?
Also, as the problem is not with the gateway itself as you can select successfully using a database link then it would be better to follow up in the OWB forum -
Forum: Warehouse Builder
Warehouse Builder
as they will be able to help with the OWB side of the problem.
Regards,
Mike

How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account. Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos. Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads. I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using. It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken?

You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC? I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC. What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.) Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them. Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

Import metadata from existing sidecars?

Aperture 3 can import metadata created in Bridge/Lightroom from sidecar files when importing images.
However is there a way to import the metadata contained in sidecar files for referenced images converted from an Aperture 2 library to an Aperture 3 library?
The metadata contained in sidecars is not picked up during the the conversion process. It is only recognised when importing.

William
My images, mostly Nikon raw NEF files go back to 2000. I added extensive metadata using Bridge and Lightroom before acquiring Aperture in 2008 (Aperture would not run on my previous G4). After an initial flush of enthusiasm I became a little disenchanted with Aperture and continued to do most of my work in Bridge/Camera Raw/Lightroom.
Now that Aperture 3 has bridged many of the gaps I am again flushed with enthusiasm. Considering the AP3 can read the metadata in existing sidecars on import, I have been hoping that there would be a way to read that same metadata after import as can be done in Lightroom with Save/Read Metadata.
I understand that adjustments will never be interchangeable between these programs.
Yes I have tried Metadata>Update from Master. That does not read the metadata in the sidecars.

Importing metadata from XMP sidecar files into Aperture 2.0?

Has anybody found a way to to do this? It appears that the metadata stored in the XMP sidecar files created by Photoshop and Bridge is ignored by Aperture when it imports images. That is pretty much a show stopper when it comes to using Aperture for asset management.

The XMP import capability is limited to metadata/IPTC type info - NOT ACR adjustments and such - those values are specific and make no sense to Aperture. This is true in reverse as well - ACR/Bridge/LR/NX2, etc, etc may pickup IPTC type metadata from XMP or embedded values but NO software will translate adjustment values from another piece of software that are stored ad metadata.

Importing Metadata from PowerDesigner into OBIEE 11g

Hi, I've digging for any information without success so far. I'm a Co-op student, so forgive me if this a naive question. I have to import some metadata from our Data Modelling software: it has the descriptions in a business level to all facts, tables and important objects. I want to import this so the user can just hover the mouse on the Criteria objects and be aware of what that object really means.
I could do it manually through RPD, by just writing down on the description field what I wanted to show on the front-end. My research showed me that there is a XML file that I have to create, which I did, by extracting the information I need from PowerDesigner.
I really appreciate your help.

Hello,
You can put those 60 users in a group say OBIEE_Users and use this group in All Users Filter in WLS.
User Base DN : DC=CORP,DC=NET
All user Filter : (&(memberof=CN=OBIEE_Users,OU=BIUsers,DC=CORP,DC=NET)(cn=*)(objectclass=user))
User from name filter : (&(cn=%u)(objectclass=user))
Refer to this example on how its configured : http://paulcannon-bi.blogspot.com/2012/07/configuring-ldap-authentication-for.html
Hope this helps. Please mark if it does.

How to export/import metadata from bw 7.0 to 7.4

Hi guys!
We want to move from BW 7.0 to BW 7.4 but the scenario we are considering is:
Installation of BW 7.4 in a new server without copying all the models of BW 7.0. At the beginning, we want to copy only a couple of models from 7.0 and keep BW 7.0 as productive server running in paralell.
I saw in a SAP Webinar this scenario is possible if the metadata of the objects are transported from 7.0 to 7.4 but they don´t explain how to do that.
Could you tell me how to copy the model metadata from 7.0 to 7.4?
Any other suggestion? or What is the best way to do that?
Thanx in advance.
Jesus Valero

Dinesh, Thank you very much for the answer.
If I'm understanding, what you are suggesting is to connect the transport system between bw 7.0 and bw 7.4 and then copy the objects betwwen bw version?
I'm trying of clarify because my basis team told me that connecting transport system between 7.0 and 7.4 is not possible but I can undestand the basis team answer due to lack of experience.
Or, What you mean is a kind of work around using transport system?
I really appreciate your help

How do you import photos from iphone5 to pc (windows 7) without duplicating

Every time I plug my iphone 5 into the laptop (using windows 7) the easiest way is to right click on the portable device (iphone icon) and import to my pictures, BUT every time I do this it wants to import ALL photos and videos. Is there a simple way of plugging the iphone in and importing any photos and videos that have NOT previously been imported as so not to leave me with a load of duplicates?

And when you do this, it should ask if you want to import the pictures that have already been imported. Select No.
Then, after you import, the photos should be deleted from the Camera Roll.
After the photos are imported and deleted from the Camera Roll, you can import using iTunes, only the photos you want on the iPhone.
