Incorrect import folder dates

Hi everyone,
Enjoying using LR 1.0, but I have found one problem that I can't find details of in a search of the forum.
When I import files Lightroom often creates folders with the wrong dates. For example, I took a series of around 60 shots between 10:30am and 11:10am on Saturday March 3rd. When I import the files I get them split between two folders. The first is 2007-03-03 and the second, coanting some of the later photos, is 2007-03-04. When I view the file metadata the dates are all correct.
I am thinking this could be releated to time zones and UTC. I am in New Zealand and have my Windows time set to NZ timezone.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any other thoughts or comments?
Thanks,
Stephen

I'm not sure. At present we are on daylight savings time, so 11:10am here is actually 10:20pm UTC. It would make sense if it was after midnight. So I don't think it's actually UTC that is involved, but some other timezone calculation. I would expect that someone else (in this area of thwe world at least) would have experienced this.
It's not really an issue since I don't like the "per day" import folders and would really like to be able to per month folders (like I do with Downloader Pro). I've logged a feature request in that part of the forum to be able to manipulate the folder names created during import using dates etc from the metadata.
In the meantime I'm using "Import to one folder" and manually maintaining the current month as the folder name...

Incorrect importing of photos in AP3.0.1?? Randomly renamed files? Dates?

Gday..
Been reading these threads so apologies in advance if this is covered elsewhere.. I like others upgraded from AP3.0.0 to AP3.0.1.. and initially things went well: processing sped up, Swap memory stays a manageable 1~2GB (or less). Couple of problems I am wondering if anyone else has or has found a work out for;
a) I've just imported 251 Nikon D300S RAW photos into AP3.0.1 and I go to edit them... and I get a message when I click on Inspector saying "This photo has been adjusted using a previous version of Aperture".. which is curious because I literally just finished shooting for the day. And its a new SDHC card. All I did was put the card into my SDHC Card Reader (like my other 82GB of shots) which is set to open directly into AP3.0.1... The whole "import" process seems flawed??
b) Anyone else have files that have been randomly renamed? I've got a bunch (like around 1000) that have become incomprehensible random letters? As opposed to DSC_0000 or something like that
c) Dates: You can sort your imports by date. I figure today's should be first? No. I had to go digging through 4 years of photos for today's imports.. They were literally all over the place. And my camera is CORRECTLY set up re dates etc (I just triple checked)
d) Anyone else having their Vault folder appearing suddenly under "Projects and Albums"?. Never happened under AP2..

How to modify Bridge CS6 default sub-folder date format while importing?

How could I modify Bridge CS6 default sub-folder date format when we are importing images from a connected camera? Default format for shooting date is aaaammjj. I would like instead aaaa_mm_jj. How could I add "_" to the date format?

You only can do so after the import process using a third party app called A better finder Rename, originally designed for Mac but they seem to have a Windows version also:

Incorrect importation of picture in Iphoto

Hi, When I try to import library from my previous labtop some picture are incorrectly imported. Meaning that the size of the picture is changed (image cutted).
For example here is the original picture imported with a jpeg format
And here is the picture imported in Iphoto. I tried to import by drop picture from finder to Iphoto or by the menu File->import to library but the result is alwas the same
I'm really disapointed I can't understand that Iphoto can corrupt file when an import is done... this is really a basic function !
If someone know how to solve this issue, please let me know...

A damaged preference file can cause an application to do all sorts of wierd things. To see if it's a damaged pref file try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Import xml data from a variable locations

Hi,
Could some please help me with a solution?
Here's what currently runs on our server. An applications runs and does:
Create an unique folder
Copy a fillable, reader extended form into this folder
Put data in a XML-file (always same filename) and places that in the same folder
Open the PDF for the user to fill in the details.
Now, the change I want to make is to import the data from the XML file into the PDF. I used a button on the form using xfa.host.importData(). This fires up a browse-for-file-box so the user can select the correct xml-file. This works!
However, as the folder from where the PDF opens, is always a different one, the browse-for-file-box opens in the wrong folder. The user does see a XML-file, but that is from a different folder. So, what I wanted is the following:
The form opens
The PDF imports the data from the XML file automaticly, without user intervention
The user finalizes the form and saves it.
In short: How can I create a variable from the folderlocation where the pdf is opened, and merge that with the xml-filename?
Hopefully I than can use xfa.host.importData("filename.xml")
I hope someone can advise me! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
thanks for your responce. It sure was helpfull to have a look at that discussion. However, that article regards a defined source with a fixed path (xfa.host.importData("/c/path/to/xml/file.xml");)
There is my problem. I need to determine the path first since that changes every time. Then I want to import that file using code.
I hope my question is clear. If not, please let me know!
Regards,
Erik
By the way, I also tried opening the same pdf from different folders. Adobe Reader seems to remember where it looked previous for a XML-file. So,if there is a way to set the folder where the browse-for-file-box opens with, that would be great too!

Missing "Import" folder in iPhoto

A few weeks ago a pop up in iPhoto appeared saying "....photos have been found, import?" and I followed the steps through other posts to finding the import folder, moving it to desktop etc.
again this pop up is appearing except I can no longer find the import folder because I must have deleted it back when I did this the first time...
any suggestions?!
please help!

Using importdata to import xml data into dynamic PDF form

Hi again,
Me and my colleagues have a problem using the importData service to import some xml data into an empty PDF form (represented as an XFA input variable).
In the server log I get the error that Only XDP data is supported for XFA forms, however I only have the xml data and not the entire xdp available.
Is this really not possible to to (like importing xml data to a form is possible in the Designer when creating forms).
I hope the scenario is understandable
Sincerely

PS: During the various projects I am working on I keep running into problems...however I am totally new to LiveCycle so I consider this very informative learning steps and appreciate all your help :-)

Hi again, I have been experimenting a little with both the renderPDFForm and importData services. However I don't seem to be ble to make them work as I need them to. My scenario is simple, I have one (call it a template xdp/PDF form) and lots of data in xml files (around 1000), that I need to import into the template. Therefore I have set up a "Watched Folder" to take the xml as a document (I guess this is a requirement) and then I need either the renderPDF or importData services to import the xml data into the template. I would like to know how I should setup the services to make this work. When I try to use importdata I setup the following: PDF document: set to be the template i need to import the xml to) Input data: the document variable (an xml file) that is passed to the Watched Folder Data merged PDF: set to an out xfaform When I do this I get an Coercion error in the server log: 2007-11-15 13:27:05,324 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] stalling action-instance: 1506 with message: ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCRuntimeException: Internal error. at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toDOMDocument(CoercionUtil.java:656) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:878) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:803) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.coerceFrom(Abs tractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:64) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.getNode (AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:47) at com.adobe.workflow.dom.VariableElement.setBoundValue(VariableElement.java:93) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataValue(PATExecutionCo ntextImpl.java:729) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataWithExpression(PATEx ecutionContextImpl.java:335) at com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.service.SetValueService.execute(SetValueService.java:46) ...

Problem in importing calendar data

Hi, I have a problem in importing calendar data, i.e. no national holidays are imported in the calendar (neither when I create the calendar nor later on using the settings). After waiting quite a while on the window "importing calendar data" I always get the message:
"Unable to access calendar data - There was an error attempting to access a shared calendar using your internet connection. Check your connection settings and try again".
That happens whatever the national holidays I choose.
My internet connection works fine, so I don't understand where the problem is. Would anyone have useful hints?
Thanks.

Log into another account on you Mac and see if you can add holidays there. If not then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If you can import OK in the other account then the problem is with your primary account. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

so plz help wanna just export the data of phone not the creation of table and data ???? or how can i import just the data from this .dmp ??

Pl post OS and database versions.
You will likely need to use the IGNORE flag - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/original_import.htm#sthref2201
Imp utility (by default) will try and create the table first. Since the table already exists, imp reports an error. Use the IGNORE flag in your imp command to not report such errors.

What is this Import folder inside my iphoto folder?

Hi,
I was looking at the size of my iphoto 6 folder before backup, and found a folder I havn't seen before.
There's an Import folder inside my iphoto folder. Inside this import folder I have a Data, Original and Modified folder. All of them with empty subfolders except the data one, which has one year (2004) and inside all 2004 thumbnails. (iphoto/import/data/2004/**)
This thumbanils are duplicated in my iphoto/data/2004 folder.
Does anyone know why iphoto created this folder and why? And if it can be removed?
I tried renaming it and restarting iphoto and nothing bad happened... :o) (But i want to be sure before I backup)

I don't know if this will be much help to you, but this is what I've discovered so far. I wish someone from Apple would explain all this to us.
The Original folder contains the the image files imported into you Library.
If your Advanced preferences were set to Copy Files .. when Adding To Library the copy goes here and is never modified by iPhoto.
Any edits to the image result in another copy of the file, with those edits, in the Modified folder.
And I suspect the Data folder contains your original images in thumbnail size for faster viewing in the main iPhoto window.
What I don't understand is why does my original image of 3KB (90x110) become a file of 39KB in the Data folder. What kind of thumbnail is that ?
Can someone from Apple explain this.
I'm trying to make efficient use of disk space and did not select the Advanced preferences setting of Copy Files .. when Adding To Library, so when I saw this file and its size compared to my original I was surprised.

Import meta data wlst command from Java

Hi All,
Can any one please provide me a java code for importing meta data file using WLST commands.

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.

Can any one help me the steps requeired to get this data to Data manager .
and am I need to do some activity in MDM to import the data to Data manager each and every time or is there any automatic way of doing this .
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance!

Hi MDM User,
Generally there are 2 cases while importing the data,
1) Initial Load
2) Delta Load
Initial Load means importing the data into MDM at first time.This is usually done by manual importing
without using import server.
Delta Load means importing the data into MDM when we have changes to existing data or added new data
to existing data.This is usually done by automatically using import server.
To manually import the data,just create a remote system and port in console and login into import manager
using remote system.Create ,save the map and execute the map.There is no other configurations needed.
To automatically import the data without manual intervention,we go for import server.
To let this happen we need to set some configuarations in mdis.ini file of import server.
Give the repository name,username and password which are set in console for that repository and also
give schedule time based on which import server picks the file from ready folder.
Go to the import manager , change the map and import action depends on your requriment and save that
map.
and also you need to set port type as inbound and automatic and select the map which you saved earlier in
MDM console.
As soon as we start the import server, it picks the file from ready folder of MDM server based on
configurations which we set in mdis.ini file and executes the map.
Here i am giving complete path of ready folder.
SAP MDM 5.5> Server>Distributions>bp1bocap080.bp.co_MSQL> BP3_PoC_Customer> Inbound>Siebel> SIEBEL_OB_CUS_SIEBELCUS01> Ready)
This path has to be given in target directory of receiver communication channel of XI so that it puts XML
file in the above path.
For better understanding,go through below blogs.

NULL error while importing the data

Hai everybody. In one of our branches there was some problem. To simulate the situation. i advised them to send the backupdata. While importing data from a dump file, i am getting the erro message
"cannot insert NULL into (“APGB5168”. “D010014”. “LBRCODE”)’.
Can i change the NULL constraint and import OR can i import first only the table strucuture and modify the constraint and can import the data afterwards.
Pl can any one suggest me how to import the data from this dump file so that i can simulate the situation.
Thanks - JayaDev(JD)

Hi,
It means you have NOT NULL column and you are trying to insert NULL data.
Can i change the NULL constraint and import OR can i import first only the table strucuture and modify the constraint and can import the data afterwards.It all depends on you and your business needs. If you are sure that removing the constraint will have no harm on your application and data then you can, but think why it has NOT NULL constraint if data has NULL values. Either your table data is incorrect or your table design. Rectify the problem and take action accordingly.

Import by date+customname

When importing images to Lightroom it would be preferred to have the option of importing via date+custom name. Would also be nice to be able to back up to a folder with the identical name on a different drive.
File name example: 2010-04-23-Iceland

We should have the same flexability to customize the folder we import into as we have to customize the names of the imported images. Based on a couple "Alternate folder structures" postings on www.lightroomforums.net, I've added the following two lines in my TranslatedStrings.txt
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_3/Template=%Y Photos/%Y-%m %B/%Y-%m-%d"
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_3/Label=By date: 2005 Photos/2005-12 December/2005-12-17"
but what I really want is
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_3/Template=%Y Photos/%Y-%m %B/%Y-%m-%d/%Y-%m-%d %t"
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_3/Label=By date: 2005 Photos/2005-12 December/2005-12-17/2005-12-17 Iceland"
where %t means insert some user-specified text, and I want LR support for creating these presets just like for renaming presets. I shouldn't have to modify TranslatedStrings.txt manually. Currently, after importing, I have to manually create the final folder and copy the images into it.
