Keywords, Indexing, Networks

Bridge CS4
I appreciate any help and advice, I have searched and read up on many similar stories / problems.
Our college shares a network drive filled with 6 years of photos. I am slowly going through and adding keywords, my workstation finds them fine, but other people's don't.
So, in "find", I click the "search folders not indexed" and after maybe an hour it will start to pull what I've keyworded (one year out of the six have been tagged with meta-data).
However, I found that when I searched for say "snow" and clicked the non-index folders, it found it, but if I went and searched for another different term, it would have to re-index. Maybe this was a user error, but shouldn't one index pass get all my keywords?
In Conlcusion:
a. Should I finish all the keywording and then share a cache file between the computers (is that possible)?
b. When I'm done, should I just let the 4 other workstations index for a few hours but then whenever new folders of pictures are added, tell the users to browse that particular folder so their Bridge indexes it?
c. Find another software for searching through large image banks over a shared network. Any recommendations?
Thank you all,
Matt

This subject has be brought up several times,and I would like to help you with answers. I am handicapped to offer advice that has worked in previous posts as the responders have failed to say how the problem was solved. So I don't know if the offered solutions worked, they found other solutions, or they just gave up.
When you do a find and have the box "search folders not indexed" checked I have found that it goes through all the folders again and indexes the files, even it you just did a search. So uncheck the box unless you want to spend the time to re-index again.
The following is advice I have gleamed from other threads on this subject, but no one has responded back with this works. Personally, I have no knowledge about networked computers.
The cache should be located on one computer and all others should reference that location. With this setup changes to metadata will be seen by all users. If each user has their own cache location the data is not shared.
If this is practical and works, or does not work, some feedback would be appreciated. That way others will benefit that read this thread in the future.
Thanks

Prime calculator language keyword index

Where can I find a complete index to every keyword that is supported in the Prime programming language.
TI 84 plus manual had a very nice keyword index that included syntax in their manual. I'd love to see something similar.
I'm looking, for example, for a keyword like TIMER which tracks the number of seconds since midnight in some languages.
But I'm also wanting the full index so I can find things easier than trying the index to the online manuals, each of which I've downloaded and printed.

(1) On the calculator, press Toolbox, Catlg. They're all there in alphabetical order. When one is highlighted, press the Help key for information about that command or function.
(2) In the User Guide, the commands used in programs are found on pages 521 (near bottom) through 551 (near bottom).
(3) Although TICKS behaves differently on the physical calculator and on the emulator, it might be what you want to replace the TIMER command you're familiar with. Or try HMS→(Time), and be sure to spell Time exactly like that (mixed case). HMS→ is a function (in the Toolbox catalog) but Time is a system variable (press Vars, select the Home tab, highlight Time, and press Help).
The above assumes that you have firmware rev 6975 installed. If not, be sure to upgrade ASAP.
Thank you, Joe,
(1) I had discovered Catlg, but had not thought to use the HELP key to get more information. Thanks.
(2) I must have a different version of the User Guide, 527-579 in my copy. Edition 1, part number NW280-2001, copyright 2013. Thank you, though, because I had not found that section. Since I printed it, I probably won't bother printing it again. But when I'm at the computer, I could try search and find.
(3) Both of these can work. Probably will use TICKS since it returns an integer. Interesting that TICKS does not show up in the Catalog, nor does Time.
Yes, 6975 is my current version. Took me awhile to remember how to see it. My biggest surprise so far is that I can calculate the exact value of 1000! in CAS mode. What I'd use it for? Not much.
Thanks for your help.

Windows 7 64bit indexing network mapped drive

Hi people,
I've spent a lot of time with windows indexing on mapped drive. But without result. I've tried install hotfix, but nothing happens, Add-in works only for 32bit system, but I use 64bit. Using of symbolic link in library is without result too. I don't know,
why MS released add-in only for 32bit. Could you help me, how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Bridge CS3: location of keyword index ???

I know that Bridge stores the actual keyword(s) with the image files but where is the overall "index" located on my hard drive?
The index is the structure that gives the instant access through the images.
Thanks

That doesn't sound right to me.
My path wasn't quite correct it should have been
C:\Documents and Settings\User name\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS3
and the keywords are stored in
Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml
The cache files contain thumbnail data and these have to be rebuilt if image files are moved but the keywords stay with the image and are referenced by Bridge wherever the file is.
That is my interpretation and I fully agree that the workings of Bridge are not properly documented by Adobe. But don't expect things to improve: the rushed time-scales imposed by the marketeers mean that not only are new releases buggy, but the documentation is inadequate or non-existent. People that want to understand the program have to spend hours sifting through the Knowledge Base (that's a misnomer!) and assorted blogs to find out what's going on.
Welcome to the wonderful new world of user friendly Adobe.
Har, Har!

Indexing network drives in windows 7 64 bit

prior to "upgrading" windows 7 I used a Microsoft add in to index my network drives, but it its not compatible with the windows 64 bit OS. Are there plans to update this add on or another way to index my NAS files on my local PC? The device
runs linux on the backend so I cannot install anything on the server.
The existing add on is located below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918996

I think I found a solution to the basic problem as it exists in my work environment - note that I'm on a domain computer with UAC activated and enforced. Here's what I did:
Went to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee844140(v=ws.10).aspx and set the EnableLinkedConnections DWORD to 1 as shown in the article.
Created my network shares - for example I mapped drive S: to \\netshares.company.com\depts\sales\rep1\ and drive T: to \\netshares.company.com\depts\shared\salesreports\
The problem is that my shares are not the root folder and I don't have UAC access to the root folder (or even most of the folders in the folder path) and one can't just go to My Computer and right click on the mapped drive and set up offline files because it
doesn't appear in that menu.
So - I went to Control Panel, Sync Center, Manage offline files, View your offline files, and in that 'explorer' window select Mapped Drives, right click on each mapped drive, select Always available offline.
Woo Hoo! Somehow that worked for me.

I know it's an old question, but are we ever going to see network indexing on x64 Windows?

I know it's been asked time and time again, but I would like to know if anyone knows of any plans to allow non-Windows Server network locations (such as NAS devices, Linux boxes, and storage plugged into supporting routers) to be indexed and
used in libraries without having to store the mass of data locally on the device.
I already know that you can add the network locations to libraries without them being indexed although doing so removes the ability to search by meta data, and also seems to have inherent issues with Modern-UI apps: it seems as though apps such as Photos
and Music ignore any network locations in libraries, presumably because they're not indexed.
I'm aware of an add-in designed for Windows 7 that allows UNC paths to be indexed, although this is only for x86. Does anyone know of any plans to implement this feature in Windows 8 / x64.
If anyone from MS actually reads this please hear me out- this has a genuine logical consumer-focused benefit. Windows 8 is pretty much Microsoft acknowledging the changes in the form factors being used by consumers, with users moving to mobile devices with
less storage capacity. Now surely in such devices having full support to index and access network locations is a no-brainer. Especially seeing as Modern-UI applications seem incapable of using non-indexed network locations at all.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

I second this. I've just spent two hours trying to work round this with symbolic shares and the like.
re: If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Surely preposterous is the justification...
"However this is now not supported or available for Windows
7 due to the following concerns:
----Increased network traffic when multiple clients would indexing the same share."
followed by "Please
try following suggestions:
a. Enable the clients for offline files (CSC). This will cache the files on the client and allow the clientsindex to index the
content locally. "
Err, so copying a Video media file over the network to a local cache is the proposed solution to decrease network traffic?????
"behaviour by design" isn't an answer to end this thread. What everyone is telling you Microsoft is the DESIGN IS BAD, so PLEASE CHANGE IT.
If only they would listen.

Keywords and indexing assets

We were hoping to use Bridge to help us search through courseware and supporting files by keywords inbedded in the files. Example we have a notice from our custome that they want all our courses that include the "BLUEFROG" to now be changed to "GREEN FROG". We'd like to go through our library of PowerPoint, Acrobat docs, Captivate files and SWFs to look for the Blue frog key word so we could find the courses that needed updates. So far we haven't had any luck but then none of us are Bridge experts.
Thank you,
Susan

Are you talking about metadata or words within the content of the files? F.e. the word bluefrog within the text of a PDF?
PDF does, SWF and Captiva files might support keyword indexing and metadata adding (or viewing them when exist) in Bridge. But Powerpoint and lots of other Office files does not. You can add properties to a powerpoint file and here something which is called "keyword" (which is more or less like a Windows attribute/tag), but those won't show up as IPTC keywords in bridge.
You might be more successful with a real DAM, like f.e. Cumulus - of course it must support not only IPTC but also those Windows tags.

Indexing a Network SMB Drive

Hello,
It has been mentioned in the past that Leopard is able to index network drives. I am the only OS X user in my office, and the rest of the office uses Copernic Agent to index and search our network drives. I have tried to enable indexing through the terminal as previously stated on this forum, but it doesn't seem to work in 10.6.1. Is there any way to index and search a network SMB drive in Snow Leopard? I would be willing to use a third party app to search, but I haven't been able to find one that actually indexes the server drive. I absolutely have to have this function, and this would mean running Copernic in Parallels everyday. Help!

You can search a currently mounted SMB drive, but you need to specifically direct Spotlight to do so.
Open the mounted drive and enter your search term in the search box for the open folder. Now you will see the option to select the specific location right next to "This Mac." Click it.
Since the drive is not indexed (though maybe it will cache an index?), it will take a minute for Spotlight to run through the drive, but it will. And frankly, it's pretty fast even on my setup where SMB connections are irritatingly slow to begin with, at least when looking for a file name. Have not tried searching "content." That just seems unreasonable.

Not Using Index on File Server When Accessing User Files Directly on Server

It appears to me that on a server with an indexed network share (Desktop Experience and Search Indexing roles/features installed), if you access the share directly on the server using its drive path, you can search the folders using the index, which
is much faster and supports finding words inside of the files in seconds). However, if you access the same shared folder via its network path from the server itself, the server ignores the index. I have this experience/problem across all shared folders on
the Windows 2012 R2 Server. Details and my most specific goal follows.
In addition to a laptop, I frequently work directly on a Windows Server 2012 R2 computer. We have Redirected Folders set up on DFS (for failover redundancy) so that my Documents folder is in:
\\network\redirections\user\documents. This all works fine on Windows 7 and 8 client computers connected to the network via Offline Files.
The problem is on the server itself. The server has Desktop Experience enabled and Windows Search is installed. If I navigate manually through the DFS root folder to my documents folder, I can search and it properly uses the index. This proves the location
is properly indexed. However, if I access the folders through the official "Documents" folder from the Folder Redirection (a network share pointing to the same server computer I'm working on), it performs an un-indexed search (slow and ignores file
contents, but does find files eventually if the search term is in their filename). Is there a way to force the server to use the indexed search on the Redirected Folders (my Documents folder in particular) when working on that server when logged in locally
on that server?
I suspect a workaround would be to go into the Registry and manually change the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders to point to the local DFS folder instead of the network share name, but at least one problem
with this is then if I save files with links to other files (e.g., a linked Excel table in a PowerPoint, a mail merge to Access database in Word, etc.) on the server computer, those links will point to d:\DFSroot\... (a physical drive on the computer) instead
of \\network\redirections\user\... (a universally accessible network path) and so none of the other computers will be able to find the linked files, defeating one of the
major benefits of using Redirected Folders.
I can't believe that I need to choose between indexed searching and proper path names in saved files. Surely there is a way to use an indexed search on the server itself?
If you need any more info to help me troubleshoot, please let me know.
Thanks for any help,
Colin

Hi Colin,
It seems that we can not use indexed search on DFS shares. Windows Search works well when users directly access the server. That is, the server is not made available through Distributed File System (DFS).

Connecting Solaris 8 (Intel) to Network

I just received Solaris 8 for the Intel platform and was able to successfully install it on a Intel pc but I'm not able to connect the pc to my home network. The pc has a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 lan card and I really don't know where to start. Could anyone please explain in general terms what I must do to connect a Solaris 8 pc to a network?

DOCUMENT ID: 1105-02
SYNOPSIS: Adding Network Support to Solaris
OS: Solaris/SunOS
PLATFORM: Intel
OS VERSION: 2.x
TECH AREA: Network
PRODUCT: Config
KEYWORDS: add network card adapter install file directory adding host nic
driver
DESCRIPTION:
When a workstation is placed in service without a network card, or none
is recognized during initial software installation, several files and
directories will not be available to the operating system if future
networking support is desired.
SOLUTION:
Solaris will not presume upon any particular network configuration if it
is unable to identify supported network hardware at the factory default
addresses. Hence, the installation scripts will not prompt the user for
network-specific configuration items like ip address, netmasks, hardware
settings, subnets, etc.
All of these can be added by hand after the machine has had Solaris
installed on it.
Workaround - Adding support for a network card to an existing system
To add network support to a Solaris workstation previously installed
without a supported network card driver requires adding/changing certain
files in the OS according to which network card is to be added. A
network card that is listed in the Hardware Compatibility List for that
platform (x86, Sparc, or PowerPC) must also be present on the system bus
and identified by the operating system to reside at supported addresses.
The following instructions for identifying a card will apply to x86 and
PowerPC platforms, for the most part. For the Sparc platforms the Open
Boot Prom is able to identify any SBUS card and, in future versions, any
PCI or PCMCIA (PC Card) device that is installed. Note also, that for
PCI devices, some ISA, MCA and EISA devices, as well as some PCMCIA
devices - the addresses, IRQs, memory, and DMA resources will be
assigned by the BIOS or a configuration utility and the driver will be
able to read the info for the device when it is loaded. Check the
Driver Configuration Guide for how to configure your particular device.
First, identify the make and model of your network card and write down
which addresses it occupies in terms of interrupt vector (IRQ), port
address range, DMA channel (if any), and shared memory address range.
Then find the driver configuration file in the /kernel/drv sub-directory
and examine this file to make sure that the addresses on the card will
be seen. For example, on Solaris 2.4 and earlier, the SMC (WD) Model
8003 or 8013 configuration file is /kernel/drv/smc.conf. It should look
similar to the following:
#ident "@(#)smc.conf 1.8 93/04/02 SMI"
# Factory default setting.
name="smc" class="sysbus" intr=5,3 ioaddr=0x280
reg=0x280,0xD0000,0x2000;
This means that the factory default for this card is at interrupt 3,
priority 5 and port address 280 hex, at memory address D0000 hex with an
8k memory range.
If you are instead using a supported 3COM or token-ring adapter, the
driver names for these are "el.conf" & "elx.conf" for 3COM,
or "tr" for
token- ring. Note that as of Solaris 2.5 some drivers that are unique
to a platform (i.e. - not common to all the Solaris platforms, like
ISA), will be found in /platform/{PLATFORM_NAME}/kernel/drv instead of
/kernel/drv. For the x86 you use i86pc in place of {PLATFORM_NAME}.
Secondly, when logged in as root, bring the driver into service. Do
this by typing drvconfig, devlinks, and touch /reconfigure at successive
"#" prompts. Type "prtconf" to test for the existence of the
0th
instance of the driver.
Workaround - Configuring the system to use the network card
You are now ready to modify the filesystem as required. Ensure that the
following directories, files, named-pipes, and symbolic links are
present and have the designated permissions, owner, and group. Those
with a file size of zero can sim

Is there a script that will generate Index Markers based on Notes?

I need a way to generate index markers/entries within InDesign based on content that has been added in InCopy. I need this becasue InCopy users can't add Index Markers. One type of content they can add is Notes. Can I use these to generate index markers?
N.b. I have figured a way for InCopy users to add character styles to words I can then generate a simple keyword index based on these. However I now need to be able to cater for sub level topics, cross references to other topics in the index and equivalent terms, and the character style method won't suffice.
Any advice/tips on other methods to create indexes based on IC content would be useful.
Thanks
I'm using InCopy CS6 and InDesign CS6.

Me again ;-)
couldn't test with InCopy but I hope those lines will create a note if some text is selected. contents of the note = the selected text. create a shortcut to the script.
#target InCopy
try{
currSel = app.selection[0];
currContent = currSel.texts[0].contents;
newNote = currSel.parentStory.notes.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, currSel.insertionPoints[0]);
newNote.texts[0].contents = currContent;
}catch (e){
alert(e)
changed the first script slightly. Note it's still just a example of how it could work:
var currDoc = app.activeDocument,
allStories = currDoc.stories,
l = allStories.length;
//checking for at least one existing index ...
if(!currDoc.indexes[0].isValid){
currDoc.indexes.add();
while(l--){
currStory = allStories[l];
allNotes = currStory.notes;
n = allNotes.length;
while(n--){
currNote = allNotes[n];
noteContents = currNote.texts[0].contents
//create the source
currSource = currStory.characters.itemByRange(currNote.insertionPoints[0].index, currNote.insertionPoints[0].index + noteContents.length);
currTopic = currDoc.indexes[0].topics.add(noteContents);
//this is by default PageReferenceType.CURRENT_PAGE ... changes optionally
currTopic.pageReferences.add(currSource)
currDoc.indexes[0].update();
currNote.remove();
Hope it'll be of some help

Use spotlight on the network

I would like to configure spotlight indexing network drives (smb, afp).
How can I do this ?

Use this command :-
sudo mdutil -i on
If after indexing it still does not work, drag a drop the folder from the mounted volume from finder and plonk it in the terminal window after the command - eg. sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Podcasts. Mounted drives have a little black arrow next to them in the finder sidebar.
You can check to see if finder is indexing by clicking on the spotlight icon in the menubar - top right.

What should be indexed?

There isn't enough information here. What is the query itself, and what behavior are you seeing? The indexes you have are definitely getting used but something else may be causing slowness if that's what you see.

Openmeta (xattr) - Network Drives

Hello Friends,
Background:
I have 3 Passport WD HDD (1 TB each) connected to an Apple Extreme via a powered USB hub. All 3 HDDs are in 'Mac OS Extended' file system. I am using one of the HDDs as TimeMachine (sparcebundle) for 2 MacBook Pros. Everything is functional regarding the setup.
I have many files & folders in the other 2 drives. I am currently trying to use Tags/Tagit softwares that are based on OpenMeta (extended attributes).
Issue:
The issue is that it works very well with the files that are local to the machine, but when I tag a file located in one of the network drives, spotlight/Tag Browser/Finder is unable to find it.
Related Info:
- Network Drives are set to index files by spotlight.
- Tagged a file located on the network drive and used the cmd 'xattr -l /path/to/file'. No extended attributes were reported. Same with Spotlight DB 'mdls /path/to/file'
- Copied the same file to local drive and same cmd showed all metatags that I associated with the file.
How can I make Openmeta work with the network drives!
- Thanks in advance!

Spotlight apparently will not index a network drive, even if commanded to do so. See this thread:
[Using Spotlight to search USB drive connected to Airport Extreme base stati|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2765115]
For more details, take a look at this 2008 thread:
[Spotlight - index network drives / folders?|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1573997]
A poster there wrote to Apple about Spotlight's inability to index network drives in Leopard, given that one could do this with Tiger. He reported getting the following e-mail response from Apple:
"We intentionally turned this off for Leopard 'cause it was a problem that lots of people would enable indexing on public AFP volumes and swamp the servers.
On Leopard we only allow local indexing of network locations via Network Homes and more recently (SL) PodCast Producer has some special SPI.
Remote indexing via Server Side Search is also a Leopard feature.
The AFP server needs to be running Leopard for indexing to occur. Leopard supports server-side indexing."

Cannot Open CNT file

Hello all.
Here's some background. I've been making winhelp files for 12
years and my firm has a considerable number of legacy help systems
in this format. Using Robohelp 6, we're going to convert them for
the web one day but we're just not there yet.
Here's the situation: using Robohelp 6, I'm compiling a help
system that incorporates the keyword index from another .HLP file.
For this reason, a .CNT file gets created automatically. Because I
do not have a TOC in this project, this .CNT file contains only two
lines: ":Base 34821_32.hlp" and ":Index OE=348oe.hlp" Essentially,
it serves as a pointer for the secondary .HLP file to aid in the
creation of the full index listing. These projects were created
using Robohelp Office 2002, by the way. Robohelp 6 converted them
in what I thought was a smooth fashion at first.
Here's what's happening: The project compiles without
incident but I can't even test this help file locally without
getting an error message telling me that it cannot open the .CNT
file on "S:\CLIENTS". The text string "S:\CLIENTS" does not exist
anywhere in the project. I've run the Winhelp Bug Hunter on it too
but it doesn't tell me anything useful, or at least, I cannot see
anything obviously wrong. The other weird thing: I've got several
other projects like this (where the index listing is comprised of
two separate help screens) and they all work just fine. I've
compared them to this bad project and once again, I cannot spot
anything really wrong with it.
So what happened to my project? Any guesses?

Hi hpankin
Is S:\Clients where you initially pulled this .CNT file from?
I've forgotten so much about WinHelp development that what I
actually remember would struggle to fill a small thimble. So I'm
not sure if it's a good practice to have projects or parts thereof
that are located on a network resource. I know it's a bad practice
in the RoboHelp HTML world.
I'm thinking that if at any point in the process you did
bring this file in from S:\Clients, perhaps placing the file
locally and inserting it after moving it locally might correct the
issue.
Just a thought... Rick
