Keeping a jpg folder in sync (automatic export or lightroom command line feature)

Working with raw is good, but, sometimes, you need to have your "starred" photos in jpg somewhere for various reasons (for example you want to sync that jpg folder with a web portfolio or you want a folder to browse your photos without opening LR).
What would be good is to be able to sync certain raws with jpg, i mean, a scheduled (windows) job which, at, say, 11am, checks modified raws (both raw and XMP), launches LR in background and export them all to that folder using a predefined profile.
This would very useful to keep an online gallery without doing manual work everytime a pic is choosed (by starring or flaggin it).
Currently SDK allows scripting inside LR, it would be great to be able script LR itself in some way (i mean a command line version, like "lightroom.exe /export profilename file.raw" which exports that file to jpg with lighroom edits, or lightroom.exe /select "flag=red" /export profilename). This would be really really useful. If we combine this with export SDK it could also be able to upload photos by itself once exported.

I agree. I have just recently looked into how I can semi-automate this, but the problem is that as far as I can see, there is no way to export files using the same folder structure as they have inside LR, so it is difficult to compare the exported files with what is inside LR. For example, if the raw file is in c:\images\\folder1\image1.raw I would like to export it to f:\imagecopies\folder1.image1.jpb without having to give the "folder1" name (i.e. the root "f:\imagecopies" should have been enough).
Maybe this can be solved with a export plugin, but I haven't looked at the SDK yet.

Export Configuration via Command Line?

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to do a configuration export via the command line? I have yet to find any documentation regarding this. The reason I ask is my GUI is having issues where I cannot save reports or export files. I have an SR open regarding the reports but not the export as this was noticed after the SR was created.
Thanks
Gerald

Hi Gerald,
Yes it is very much possible. For large configurations, it is recommended to take export from command line-
1. run setenv file
2. java -Xms512M -Xmx512M oracle.tip.repos.export.Export -inputfile <inputfile> [-ignoretypes <
file>] <export file name>
Arguments:
-inputfile <inputfile> to export specific objects .
-ignoretypes <file> , This is only for business process. This is to ignore
the object types while exporting deployable BP.
<export file name> name of the export file
For e.g. -
C:\B2B10g\Midtier\ip\install>java -Xms512M -Xmx512M oracle.tip.repos.export.Export C:\commandExport.xml
Starting Execution Context
Export file name is C:\commandExport.xml
3.26
exporting all design objects
export done
For benefit of other users of this community, I have documented the same on below link -

How to log BIAR export/import from command line

Hello
Can anyone please tell me how to log the actions during the import (or export) of a BIAR file when it is executed from the command line
OR
If this type of logging is enabled by default then can anyone tell me where the log files would typically be found
Best regards and thank you
Patrick
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib>
java -jar biarengine.jar MyCMSImport.properties

Hi,
We can get the log files for the actions that happen during the import / export via Import Wizard.
Complete these steps to create a log file:
1. Create the following Windows system variables:
BO_TRACE_CONFIGDIR = C:\Botrace
BO_TRACE_CONFIGFILE = C:\Botrace\BO_trace.ini
BO_TRACE_LOGDIR = C:\Botrace
2. Copy the BO_trace.ini file to the c:\Botrace folder.
3. Run the Import Wizard and then view the BO_trace.ini file in the c:\Botrace folder.
Additional Information
The following are the default values in the BO_trace.ini file:
active = true;
importance = xs;
size = 1000000;
keep = true;
Hope this helps.

Biar Export using Biar Command line tool

Hi All,
I am trying to export biar file using the biar command line tool for that i have written a .properties file and running that using the batch file , Here are the contents -
Biarexport.properties -
exportBiarLocation=C:/work/biartest/level.biar
action=exportXML
userName=E372019
password=welcome9
CMS=tss0s108:6800
authentication=secEnterprise
includeSecurity=true
exportDependencies=true
exportQuery= Select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind in ('CrystalReport','Folder') and si_name='Air Travel Activity' and SI_INSTANCE = 0
and running the above .properties file using below command u2013
cd C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib
java -jar biarengine.jar C:\work\biartest\biarexport.properties
I get the biar file created on the given folder but if I compare itu2019s size(261KB) with the biar which I create manually from the Import Wizard(35 KB) , then comparatively it is bigger. It seems biar has every instance.
This increases the file size unnecessary since we do not need the instances in the BIAR, just the report and the dependent repository objects.
Need your assistance on this issue!
Thanks for your help!

I would suggest creating a case with support to go over this, you should have a support agreement since you have the Enterprise product.

To find out what version of Eclipse you have, open the .eclipseproduct file.
To find out what version of the JRC you are on, you can look at the <eclipse home>\plugins\com.businessobjects.sdks.jrc.11.8.x to see what your latest version is.
This stack trace on it's own doesn't indicate why you are having a problem. It could be a problem with something in the report.... or it could be something wrong in the code. To ensure your code is correct, you should verify it against the sample code in the Developer Library and the JRC sample downloads.
Does the file get exported even though you have the error or is there no file or a zero byte file?

Export release build command line equivalent

Good morning Flex community,
I am trying to build my project via the command line. Right now I can build easily with mxmlc. But I would like to know the command line equivalent to 'Export Release Build' in the FlexBuilder IDE. One major disadvantage to using mxmlc (w/ no args) is I only get the .SWF file. I want all the image files, assets, and resources associated with my project.(this is what export release build does)
Any suggestions? Or am I making myself clear? Thanks!

I would create a ant/.bat file which does all that, compile and copy the generated files and other assets to a new build location.

WTF? Can't get jpg to save from CS2 (export from Lightroom)

Okay, have made an extensive search through help and FAQ files, and find some similar problems to mine, but nothing exact.
I am using Adobe Lightroom 2, but have the same problem with Lightroom 3 Beta (am using Windows 7)
I do my photo PP in Lightroom, usually export as a JPG, then upload to Flickr....No problem there......
Recently I have been doing some touch up work in CS2 (v9). Problem: I bring the LR export JPG into CS2 so I can do my thing, and then try to save using the standard "Save as" function so I can upload to Flickr. I get the following CS2 error: " Could Not Complete your Request because of a Program Error". As a workaround I tried using the "Save for Web" function, but as everyone is aware that strips out all the EXIF data (something I want to maintain). I also tried the "Edit in photoshop" LR function, Doing my CS2 stuff, and then saving the TIFF to a JPG from CS2, resulting in same error.
I am sure that I am performing some kind of stupid mistake, have an incompatable export setting, or not following the proper workflow process for LR>CS2>JPG Editing. I am a humble person, so please kick me in the butt, tell me what I am doing wrong so I can continue with my work!!!
Any help would be appreciated, oh masters of all things Adobe !!!
DannagMonkey

Hi,
I dont know if this will help but this is how I do it. Set up Ps as your external editor. I think you said you had done this. From Lr use edit in Ps command. It opens the image in Ps. Do your work and then press "save", not save as. This returns the tiff or psd ( you decide in Lr preferences ) to Lr. You can then export as jpg to flickr. Hope this works for you.

You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (''bookmarks.html'') when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to ''true'' on the '''about:config''' page.

Import/Export tool Command line syntax for R2

Would anyone please advise the syntax of command line import/export tool for XIR2?
Read this post below for importing from a biar file but not sure how to export from BO into a biar file.
How to log BIAR export/import from command line
We're in fact trying to migrate from R2 into R3. The import wizard provided by BO doesn't work well with favorites and inboxes migration due to the large volume of data we need to migrate, hence looking for alternatives.
Any advice around this line would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
GM

Denis,
Thanks for your reply. This at least saved my effort to explore further.
Would you offer any advice for migrating large volume of personal folders from R2 into R3?
We're integrating with AD, so everytime listing users for selection taking ages and often times out.
Even if we managed to export the biar file for a group of users, exporting them into R3 fails quite often as well.
The whole process is simply very unpredictable and unreliable.
Thanks.

Keep (the same) folder content in sync with another mac

Hi all,
Me and a friend of mine work on the same project. We have one folder with all our files and subdirectory in each of our mac. We want to keep the work on both folder synced.
How we can do this?
What happens if we modify the same file?
Thanks in advance,
Filippo

If you have a dotmac account you could use syncing to keep the files in sync with each other.
You would have to turn on iDisk Syncing. Then put the files you are working on in that folder.
Sync the other machine with iDisk and then have iDisk Syncing switched on on that machine too but have one machine set up as the 'Master' and one Machine setup to sync Manually. The Master Machine should sync whenever any file changes and then you can get in touch with your friend and tell him when to sync, as syncing automatically with two machines, they might both sync at the same time causing an error.
When the other machine does a 'Manual' sync the files which have been replaced or updated will be changed to the new ones. He could sync manually when he has worked on a file too and on yours it would update automatically.
You would have to have a very good method in place and keep in contact regularly but I think that would work. That is if the machines are not in the same building? I assume their not as you would just have them shared on the Network wouldn't you?

Switch to a new PC, but can't keep iPhone app folder organisation when sync with iTunes

I have just switched to a new PC. When I connected my iPhone to it, I have chosen to "Transfer Purchase" in iTunes. Then I go to sync for the apps. I got a msseage warning me that the apps on the iPhone will be replaced by those in the iTunes library. I didn't mind for that since I have already do the "Transfer Purchase" and I won't lose any apps for this step. But I thought it would not keep the folder organisation on my iPhone and I will need to manually group all apps again if I continue the process. I have nearly 300 apps. Are there any ways to keep all the folder organisations for this case of switching PC?

Thanks. But what I really want is to import the folder organisation from iPhone to iTunes. It is tedious to reorganise all my 300 apps again.
