JPG import and metadata

Hi,
Before Lightroom, I was shooting everything in jpg format. So, I currently have a lot of photos that I want to import in Lightroom to build my library. While importing, I encountered a small problem: applying metadata is impossible on JPG files.
I understand why (because metadata applies to the RAW file when building the final jpeg file, isn't it?). The problem is that Lightroom shows me a little '!' in the upper right corner of each photo preview. This little icon is slowing down Lightroom I suspect, because when I scroll, Lightroom must decide if it has to show me or not the icon.
Is there a way to hide that icon, or a way to import JPG without getting in that situation?
Thanks

Consider that some folks use only JPEGs and you'll see why you can do the same with JPEGs as with RAW or TIFF files. (Only RAW files use an external "sidecar" to store metadata now). Also consider that metadata can include keywords, frequently entered after the Import, as well as edits.

IPhoto import and metadata

Sorry if this has been asked and answer already, but if I import my iPhoto collection into Aperture, will Aperture recognize and import the meta data I've set in iPhoto?

OK, I;m going to answer my own questions since I just acquired Aperture.
When importing from iPhoto all the "right" things are done. iPhoto meta data is imported into Aperture. Also, the original and edit copy of the photo is imported.
I'm impressed with Aperture. I have a lot to learn and this program still has a few issues that hopefully will be addressed soon (like being able to send a RAW photo to PhotoShop and support for my particular camera, the Minolta Maxxum 5D).

How do you import media and metadata from Windows Photo Gallery database?

How do you import videos and photos and their metadata from a Windows Photo Gallery database into the Elements Organizer, especially metadata that is only contained in the Photo Gallery database file (pictures.pd6) and not embedded in the video and photo media files themselves?
And when you import the metadata into Organizer, do you get all of these available elements?
Ratings
Tags
Captions
People tags
Geotags
Also, if the media files in Organizer are ever moved to another PC, is there a way to migrate all of the Organizer's metadata with the files to use with another instance of Premiere Elements?

OK. I think we're getting close to the answer.
The reason I'm asking about this is because for Photo Gallery, media files can NEVER be moved without losing all database metadata. I'm sorry I didn't know this when I started with Photo Gallery and I think I've learned an important lesson: Be sure you can move your work BEFORE you start.
So, to clarify Organizer's behavior, let me ask the question another way. Let's say that in a few years, after I've added tags, people, places, etc. to hundreds of media files in Organizer, I decide to get a new PC. When I move all that stuff to my new petabyte drive on the new PC, do we know if Premiere Elements Organizer on the new PC would be able to read the original Organizer's metadata?

How do I import Bridge keywords and metadata to CS6 from CS4 so that I don't lose them if CS4 is not

I have hundreds of keywords and metadata including Ratings and Labels using CS4 and Bridge CS4.
It is time to replace my PPC Mac with a new Intel Mac.
I am going to install CS6 on the new Intel Mac without installing CS4.
By default.... this eliminates ALL keywords and ratings and labels from my Bridge browser. The keywords will still be present on the files but Not present in Bridge keywords list and all ratings and labels will be lost.
Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
The question then becomes.... can I aslo do this with CS6 without introducing an incompatibility?
1. incompatible due to CS6 application support.
2. incompatible due to transfer from a PPC (APM) to Intel (GUID).
This concern results from an Bridge CS4 export problem I experienced.
Bridge CS4 will export all of your keywords and you can import them from a text file but it has some odd troubles. (try it and you will see)
This does Not mean that CS6 has the same troubles.
What do I require to preserve existing metedata and keywords that exist on a PPC using CS4 and import them into CS6 using Intel?
Sound simple?
I doubt it.
The points are.
1. CS4 not installed.
2. CS4 source is PPC not Intel.
3. Ratings and Labels are metadata that Are Not part of the file metadata and unique to Bridge only.
4. Keyword Search and keyword Use requires that Bridge have keyword list, otherwise Finder is the far more useful browser and the new version of Bridge will require hours of keyword listing.
I don't want to spends hours retyping keywords lists in Bridge.

Ratings are NOT placed into the file under CS4 Bridge and neither are
Labels.
That depends on your file type and settings voor Camera Raw.
Like Curt stated usually metadata is written in to the file itself. Only Raw files can't be written to and by default they create a XMP file, also called Sidecar XMP files (and do have the same filename, only a different extension called .xmp). These files are also by default hidden in Bridge but If you use Bridge to move files they travel along with the original.
If you move or copy them using finder you have to be sure these XMP files are also copied with the originals to the new location.
Using the menu View / show hidden files should reveal the XMP files.
An other option for the Camera Raw prefs is to set metadata to the Camera Raw database instead of written to sidecar XMP files ( to my knowledge using sidecar files has been the default since about CS3).
Now here it becomes a bit tricky and I only can tell you my findings, not to be confused with true facts. (and mind you, it is at least 5 years ago I was on a PPC and not even remember which OSX 10 was able to work on it, I just present the acting of CS6 on an intel Mac Pro with OSX 10.7, but I don't believe the difference in location is that much)
Having written the Metadata to the Camera Raw Database your image settings get written to a file in the user library preferences folder called logically "Adobe Camera Raw Database". But also some info gets added to the Camera Raw Cache folder (User library / Caches/ Adobe Camera Raw) in a file called index.dat.
Also not having set metadata to xmp sidecars stores the ACR settings in a new .dat file with a unique number (not to be traced as a corresponding filename. And also the default maximum is set to 1 GB of space and when full the oldest files are overwritten with the new ones.
Personally I use converted DNG files that are capable of writing metadata to so all info and settings are in the file itself and I don't need to bother about central storage that can get lost. The downside is that changes to a DNG need to save the whole file instead of a small xmp file and probably reading cache takes more time then getting info from central storage but I like to be on the safe side and speed is not really needed to be nailed down to split seconds in my workflow.
Keywords are stored as a file in the Bridge preferences but Like Curt already stated exporting the old list first and then via the same route import again to CS6 should solve your problem and they will be back as persistent, otherwise the files in the content window show as italic and sadly enough have to be made persistent one by one with right click mouse menu, so that is not really an option for you.
Exporting the list does create a text file that can also be altered manually with a simple text app and as said, again be imported in newer versions as Curt described earlier.
Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
Well, in fact it is true to call copying this folders a simple task but replacing the existing new CS6 would not be my method. The biggest change for Bridge CS6 was the transition to 64 bit and I lack the knowledge for this but also cache format for thumbs and previews has been different for every version.
But if you have located the CS4 folder for Bridge in your PPC user library / application support / Adobe / Bridge CS4 you should find a file called 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' and it is fairly safe to replace this CS4 version with the new CS6 version.
Also custom settings for the output module can be copied (however to my memory the option for custom settings in Output where introduced in CS5) and collections can be copied.
So for your keywords the copy option might work, rating and labeling for Raw files they will be read in CS6 if they are stored as XMP. ACR settings idem but CS6 ACR has a new (2012) conversion mode that has different settings that do not work with previous settings (unless you first choose to use the 2010 conversion as default Raw setting.
If it is in the Central Data Base I would start trying to replace the CS4 with the CS6 edition (after back up of existing CS6 version) and see what happens. If it works your out of trouble.
You can also open the Camera raw Database as a text file but there is a lot of data in. Maybe scripting would be able to reveal those data and transfer to XMP but you have to visit the dedicated Scripting forum for this.
And while you state to have not installed CS4 anymore it might be wise to reinstall it (but first make a proper back up of the previous mentioned folders and files to be on the save side.
This gives you the opportunity to export keywords properly and if needed you can use Show Items from subfolders option with filter and set preferences to XMP sidecar to refresh the rating and labels to those XMP files. Just an escape route that might not be as painstakingly as it looks at first sight, just use the options for Bridge to filter.

Will LR4 import my video tags and metadata I've applied in Bridge?

I'm excited to see the LR4 beta is out, and that it's got some cool new video features.
All of my DSLR video is tagged and metadata'd in Adobe Bridge. Will LR4 be able to import or read that data so I don't have to do it all over again in LR? Please? Please, please, please?

Petra, labels and ratings should be imported when you import the photos, even in LR3. If you did the Bridge rating AFTER import, then you'd need to read the metadata from the files (under the Metadata menu, be aware doing so will replace any metadata currently in LR.) Since you're currently using LR3 and having that issue, probably worth posting it on the LR3 forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom

WSUS replica: Imported updates and metadata but now starts to download files

Hi,
I want to setup a new wsus replica server.
I installed the WSUS service , then imported the updates and then an imported the metadata.
A soon as I pressed synchronize , it started to pull lots of updates (18GB) and more coming up.
Why is this? Why does it start to download as I already imported all updates ....
How can I fix this?
Kr,
Joeri

Any idea what is wrong?
Based on the dozens, if not hundreds, of scenarios displaying this exact same symptom, my guess would be that you restored the ~\WSUSContent folder, thus overwriting the existing (empty) ~\WSUSContent folder, and as a result, modified the ACLs of that folder.
The ACL modification results in the removal of the *LOCAL* WSUS Administrators group and replaces it with the SID of the
WSUS Administrators group of the source server (which cannot be translated on the local server).
As a result, the WSUSService loses its right to read from the folder tree, and that translates to "no files exist, we need to download them".
You can fix the ACL by adding the WSUS Administrators group back, deleting the orphaned SID reference to the source server, and then clearing the BITS Download Queue.
After cleaning up the filestore issue, rerun the WSUSUTIL IMPORT.

OMB plus Creating Locations Modules And Importing the Metadata?

Hi All,
First of all I would like to thank you all of you in advance for all your time and concern. I have serious of questions and I will ask them in 3 different portions as they are slightly different.
How can I implement the steps below using OMB plus? If you could provided sample script and notation it will be highly appreciated.
-- Creating an Oracle Location for a Schema and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
-- Importing the metadata for all the objects in this Schema in to this module.
For example,
You have a schema called ORACLE_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other. Then I need to import all the metadata for all the objects in this ORACLE_SRC schema. During this import all the preserve statements should be unchecked. And I need to accomplish all these using OMB plus and TCL scripting.
-- Creating an Non Oracle (SQL server 2005) Location for a database and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
-- Importing the metadata for all the objects in this Schema in to this module.
For example,
You have a schema called SQLSERVER_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other. Then I need to import all the metadata for all the objects in this SQLSERVER_SRC schema. During this import all the preserve statements should be unchecked. And I need to accomplish all these using OMB plus and TCL scripting.
-- Creating an Flat File Location for a folder structure and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
For example,
You have a schema called FLATFILE_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other.
Thanks again for all your help and concern!
Kind Regards,
Mike

In addition to the performance issue above I have faced an extremely more important problem. When I have used the same logic for importing Materialized views I am getting an error at the last step of the script. It is exactly the same case also for EXTERNAL_TABLE objects. TABLE and VIEW objects are fine. OMBIMPORT command throw the error message below.
PUB04201: Encountered an internal fatal error during processing of oracle module XXX_DMY_DWPROD_TST: unsupported obj type.
I would like to mention that MATERIALIZED_VIEW is the object name I took from OWB scripting Reference guide. I have tried couple other naming conventions too but it didn't work.
Strange thing is If I were to change MATERIALIZED_VIEW to TABLE it works but the materialized view gets imported into 'Tables' folder under the module.
Please help?

IPhoto and metadata

I started using iPhoto 09 yesterday, and have some questions for you. When I import my pictures I use Adobe Lightroom to convert to DNG, add captions, keywords and ratings. I (want to) use iPhoto for viewing, organizing and ordering books and stuff. Unfortunately there are a few shortcomings to this approach.
* iLife doesn't import any metadata for my raw images. Under the JPEGs I see captions and keywords, but under the DNGs it just says "raw". It also has problems importing from some of my JPEGs
* The captions from LR are written to the IPTC urgency field. This is not standardized (I think), but applications like Picasa and Digikam understand it on import. iPhoto does not.
* Faces and places are not written into the metadata of the images, is it? Does iPhoto write back any of the other metadata (captions, keywords)?
Anyone have any comments/solutions to any of the things I have mentioned?
I have considered fixing this myself, by writing a script that pulls the metadata I want from my JPGs/DNGs and puts it ... somewhere in the iPhoto database. Do you think this is possible?

Thanks for the fast reply.
To continue on your car-comparison. If I learn a lot about driving using that one car, I don't want to forget what I learned if I get a new car in the future At the moment I really like iPhoto, but if I at some point want to use another application, I want all the metainformation I've added to follow me to the new application, and that means it has to be either embedded in the images or really easy to get out from the database. I feel much more in control of my metadata when using Lightroom.
Especially hierarchical keywords are important to me. The are easy to use and manage, and reorganizing them works like a dream. After writing captions, keywords and rating to the images, I can write back the changes to the images and it wouldn't matter if I lost the database, since the complete info is in the images. Haven't heard about Lightroom not using metadata in standard ways, but that sounds scary. Do you know more about this? In my experience, most applications understand the metadata written by Lightroom.
Like I said I want to use iPhoto after the organizing because it's great as a viewer and I may want to order stuff, but also because iPhoto talks well to other applications I want to use, like iDVD. I also like Events, Places and Faces so much that I want to play with those even if the information is lost if I move to another application.
I'm guess I'm gonna have to think a bit about what approach to choose. Right now I keep the DNGs in my library, but maybe I should export to JPG and just keep the DNGs for backup on some offline media. This would take up less space and make my collection understandable by most applications. I could also let iPhoto copy the photos and live with two copies of my library. If/when moving to another application, the LR-copy would then be the portable one.

Import XMP Metadata Kills My Image Edits

I imported a batch of JPGs from a recent trip and happily used LR to rank them, add labels and adjust them in the Develop module. Later, when LR was not running, I used another program to modify some of the embedded meta data in these JPGs (in particular the dates).
On my next visit to LR I used the Import XMP Metadata From File command, hoping to get LR to recognize the modified dates. This turned out to be a big mistake. All my previous ranking, labeling and developing was lost. Oh dear.
I guess I was under the impression that the Import XMP Metadata From File command would synchronize the metadata in the files with the metadata in the database. It appears to have simply replaced the database values with what was in the file. So is this a bug or did I just misunderstand the feature?

Last history state? See
Loading metadata resets Develop settings.
>I can go back to Develop and "back up" because the history is all there, but this would have to be done file by file,

How can i keep my iphoto imports and onedrive photos in the same place and synced to onedrive?

I currently subscribe to Office365 and use OneDrive to sync all my docs and files from my old Windows PC to my Mac (OSX Mavericks).
I have a tons of photos already on OneDrive and would like to so my PhotoSteam and also when I import photos or use iPhoto that it uses the OneDrive Photo folder/directory.
Is this possible?
As a new OSX users I am not sure how to do this, in Windows I would have just changed the directory of the Picture library but cannot see a way to do this on OSX.
Any help and pointers (in as simple steps as possible!) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Yes it is possible but no you really, really don't want to do this if you're using iPhoto.
You can't put an iPhoto Library on OneDrive. It's not a Directory, but a rather complex ecosystem of sql database, files, caches and metadata. Basically, you're trying to run a Mac database from a Windows disk and that's always going to cause problems. (as doing the reverse would too.)
You can (in theory) run iPhoto with storing the files on OneDrive but don't. iPhoto has no tools to manage this set up properly, and you're only storing up issues for further down the road.

Import OLAP Metadata in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 failing

We are in the process of integrating our existing Oracle OLAP infrastructure with OBIEE 11.1.1.5. We are currently on 11.2.0.1 DB with our 11g cubes in 11.2.0.0.0 compatibility mode.
We have two AWs within the same schema that are tightly integrated (Eg. Q12_AW and Q12_HIST_AW). When I import the metadata using OBIEE 11g BI Administrator, I can only see Q12_HIST_AW but not Q12_AW. Also, when I copy Q12_HIST_AW to OBIEE, it errors out. Looking at java host logs, it looks like I am getting parse errors but not sure how to pursue further on why the parser is failing.

It looks like OBIEE 11.1.1.5 ships with 11.1 jars and since my DB was running 11.2, I faced this issue. The fix is described below for folks who encounter this issue.
The OLAP API jars on the middle tier need to be updated to version 11.2.x. The OLAP API libraries are found in your Oracle Database home: [oracledb home]\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\olap\api\lib. BI EE provides an 11.1.x version of these files in [obiee home]\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\javahost\lib\obisintegration\aw\11g. Backup the BI EE version of the OLAP API jars and replace them with the version provided by the database.

Problem in import of MetaData file in Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2

My Problem is Related to Oracle WareHouse Builder.My system's configuration is following :-
Machine : P4
Operating System :Windows XP
ORacle : Version 9.2
Oracle WareHouse Builder 9.2
Ram :1GB
SGA Size :Approximately 650M
I have 2 MetaData files which I have to import into OWB.
First file's size is 9M.It got imported properly in 4 minutes without any error.
2nd File's Size is 30M.when
I start importing this MEtaData file.It goes upto 35% in Progress Bar.But after that it does not show any improvement.
I have left the machine running with this option upto 24 hours.
But nothing happened .It still shows only 35%.
I have checked log file/Trace file/Alert log files ,but there is no error in these files.
If any body have any solution about it,Please reply ASAP.I am stucked in this problem from last 7-8 days.
Waiting for reply
Thanks & Regards
Harvinder Singh

Thanks for your reply Igor.
As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
There are no invalid objects in this database.

Importing the METADATA ONLY using DBMS_DATAPUMP

Hi DBAs,
Using the DBMS_DATAPUMP , how can I import the metadata only for a particular table . Also I dont want to import any associated INDEXES and TRIGGERS. I have the following codes but it is trying to import every thing. Also if the table exist, it is not importing the METADATA rather erroring out.
handle1 := DBMS_DATAPUMP.OPEN('IMPORT','SCHEMA', 'QAXDB.WORLD');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(handle1, 'SCHEMA_EXPR', 'IN (''HR'')');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.SET_PARAMETER(handle1, 'INCLUDE_METADATA', 1);
Thanks

BODS 4.2 Cannot import the metadata table, RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN syntax error

Hi all, we installed BODS 4.2 server to substitute a 4.1, but we are facing the error:
Error: Cannot import the metadata table <name=T001>
RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_RUNTIME_FAILURE -(Exception Key: Syntax error in program /BODS/SAPLBODS....
We already tried the solution for when people get the error related to unicode.
Also, we are able to pull data via extractors, it only fails when loading Tables....
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear,
You will have to import the new ABAP Function Group "BODS/BODS".
Here are some details:
Installing Functions on the SAP Server
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services provides functions that support the use of the ABAP, BAPI, and
IDoc interfaces on SAP servers. You will need some or all of these functions in the normal operation
of the software in an SAP environment. These functions perform such operations as dynamically loading
and executing ABAP programs from Data Services, efficiently running preloaded ABAP programs,
allowing for seamless metadata browsing and importing from SAP servers, and reporting the status of
running jobs. Some of these functions read data from SAP NetWeaver BW sources.
You must upload the provided functions to your SAP server in a production environment. It is
recommended that you always upload the functions to your SAP server whether you are in a
development, test, or production environment. The functions provide seamless integration between
Data Services and SAP servers.
The default installation places two function module files for SAP servers in the ...\Data
Services\Admin\R3_Functions\transport directory. You then upload these files to SAP servers
using the SAP Correction and Transport System (CTS) or manually. Using CTS allows for version
control as the functions evolve across releases.
The installation provides two versions of transport files (depending on the server version you are using)
to install the functions on the SAP server. To obtain the names of the latest transport files for installing
or upgrading these SAP server functions, see the readme.txt file
And I've found those files and text files in the local install folder....in:
Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\admin\R3_Functions
(that's where I've installed it).
There you'll find some descriptive txt as how to proceed.
After installing, it might happen that the executing user is missing some authorizations.
Here my authorizations team helped me by tracing the user and then adding the necessary rights.
Sure hope this will help you.
