Matching Metadata Fields

I am exporting images from my work database, the metadata is exported as a seperate csv file. I have bridge set up to run a script and combine the image and the csv information.
The script allows me to designate the metadata fields into which the csv information falls eg. what is recognised as file name, decritpion, keywords etc.
each image has locational information avalible in the database that can be added to the csv export, not as geotags but written place namess. My question is: is there a field that I can put this information in that will be regocnised by third party applications like iphoto and flicker, in these applications there is a field for location search into which you can type a place names and recieve a GPS geotag, is
there away to target this field with bridge and send the csv location information to the location search field in iphoto and recieve a geotag?
I know that if you an EXIF geotag will be recongised and represented as a name by some programs but is there a way to do the reverse?
cheers

Library filters: can I add to the list of metadata fields that I can search by?

Is it possible to add to the list of metadata fields that lightroom can search for images by?
I know about the 'Any searchable ... ' but that does now allow me to search for specific conditions -
I am using some of the IPTC fields as a way to classify images of mine for various purposes and would like to
do something like search for images where the iptc source field has a certain value while the instructions
fields has some other value. I do not think this is possible using the available tools.
So, I'd like to be able to add these fields to the menu of possible fields in Smart collections
of the library metadata filter.
So, am I missing something obvious? Can this be done?
Cheers,
Bonny

Hi Rob,
Thanks for this plug in - it's really great.
The fields I'm looking for are part of the IPTC fields, and since I'm entering them in LR, they're not part of the image,
and I assume not something that exiftool can find in the image. So unfortunately I do not think I can use this plugin
for the actual purpose I'm intending.
I'll shed some light on what I'm doing and therefore what I'm looking for:
I have a collection of images (of people) that I need to match names to.
I use some IPTC fields (that are otherwise useless for me) to store this data.
These fields are the "Job Identifier", "Instructions", "Creditline" and "Source" in the IPTC tagset.
At some point I then want to look for errors in the data entry, etc and so I need to search for various
values of those fields for validation purposes mainly.
I created a tagset using Jeffrey's plugin and it allows me to view and use only the info I'm after, but no searching.
Your plugin provides more complete functionality (tagset creation as well as the searchability). The only question
is how do I go about using your plugin to use the fields I'm using?
Cheers,
Bonny

Metadata field splitable

Hi,
based on the example mymetadata.lrdevplugin, there is a new metadata field "myString" introduced.
This field is searchable, browsable.
In the library filter (I hope this is correct, because I using another GUI localication)
This field is available and I can see the values. I can select a value --> all photos are filtered with this value.
Is there any way to split the values in this field by a separator, so that I can filter on the single values.
Example:
Photo X: myString = "A; B".
Photo Y: myString = "A; C".
In the library filter I see, splitted by a separator (e.g. ";")
A
B
C
If I select A, the photos X, Y are selected.
If I select C, the photo Y is selected.
Or must I use keywords for such a behavior
Thanks.

The builtin Library Metadata browser won't do what you want. However, you can search for individual words in the metadata field using the text criterion Any Searchabled Plug-in Field:
You can't select individual plugin metadata fields, so the search might accidentally include other plugins' fields. If you want more control over that search, limiting to a specific field and with a broader array of text operators (including pattern matching), you could use my Any Filter plugin.

Metadata filter for "Location" filters on metadata field "Sublocation"

It's confusing that the metadata filter for "Location" filters on metadata field "Sublocation". This is confusing until you figure it out. Adobe should assure that field names in the filter tool match the field name in the Metadata Panel they filter on. Should be an easy fix.

Adobe Bridge CC: Batch Rename using any metadata field

How can I add certain Metadata fields to the pull down menu in the batch rename function?
I need to do a batch rename of files, but using metadata fields that are not available as an option on the pull down menu.
Hoping to use any or all of these:
Audio : Artist, Album, Genre
IPTC Core : Description, Keywords, etc..

I don't think there is any way in which you can add to the built-in functions…
Unless this is actually provided by one of the Adobe start-up scripts… ( I've not see it when digging about )
You would probably need a scripted solution that can give you drop down menu of the extra options you want.

To plugin developers: can I have access to any metadata field of the catalog in Print Module?

Dear LR plugin developers,
Maybe one of you has already implemented such a feature, maybe I can entice you to do so, if several people find this useful?
Is there a forum for plugin feature requests? If so, forgive me for using this general user-to-user for this. Or would you look on the Adobe feature request forum for such input?
I would like to have access to any metadata field of the catalog in Print module, ok if for all LR standard catalog fields, preferable if also for custom fields created by other plugins.
I would want to add such a field underneath each image on a print page, e.g. something like complete exposure info.
Doing so in export in a "Mogrify-like" way would also be ok, if metadata accessible. Fixed custom text obviously would be cumbersome, as limiting to 1 image to export at a time. Creating jpgs in export is ok,
Print module would be preferable as I was hoping for more than one image per page=jpg.
Now if such text could even be placed anywhere on a print template, possibly containing also free text, and formatable - you would have corrected the basic design flaw of the Book module imo...

The problem one faces is that the SDK does not access Print or Book. You'll need to (ab)use the fields that are available, and I'd suggest you look at my Search and Replace plugin which can transfer values between fields. So you could move info from an inaccessible field to one that can be printed. Maybe use virtual copies which you can just discard afterwards?

How to add a new metadata field to iPhoto where new field is calculated as age in years and month based on a specific date and the date photo was taken ? I want to calculate and display the age of my two kids on every photo.

Hi
How can I add 2 new metadata-fields to every photo in iPhoto ?
The new fields should state the age of my kids in years and months based on the date that they were born and the date that photo is taken.
Exampel:
My son is born 01.01.2010
My daughter is born 01.01.2012
Photo taken by data
Aage of son
Aage of daughter
01.07.2011
1 year 6 month
not born yet
01.01.2014
4 year 0 month
2 year 0 month
I would like to be able to search by kids age and get the info displayed when doing slideshows.
How to do this in iPhoto ?
Any alternatives to accomplish the same ?
Kind regards

It can't be done with iPhoto. There are some DAM (digital asset management) applications that can write to other IPTC fields that iPhoto can't read. One such app is Media Pro 1.
However you would have to calculate the age for each date and add it to one of the fields. There are online age calculators that can do that for you: Age Calculators
If you go thru that much trouble then use iPhoto, make the calculations and add the age to the Description field. Then you can use Smart Albums to search for 1year 6 month text.

How to make metadata fields required when creating folders

Hello all....
Related issue with SR 3-6472229431 and SR 3-6471130611.
We're using DIS 11.1.6 64-bits (2011_11_29 (rev 9756) 11.1.6.97) in a Windows 7 64-bits workstation (with UCM 11.1.1.5 in a Linux machine). The check-in of images to UCM goes fine.
I'm trying to make some metadata fields required when creating a folder. These fields are required when making a check-in, but not when creating folders.
Folders_g is enabled. DesktopTag too.
EDIT: Patch: 14695303 - WCC 11.1.1.5.0 BUNDLE ( MLR 16 ) NOV 6 2012 applied.
Is it possible?
Thanks for all.

After reading your response and rereading the original question a bit closer, the metadata prompting feature does not apply to creating new folders, only content.
Again, though, I think the focus here is in the wrong place. The metadata applied to a folder is intended to be ultimately applied to the content. You can build global rules that fire on submission of content to check if a field has a value, and throw an error if the value is empty.
If you expect users to create folders (and actually apply any metadata to the actual folder itself), you will be disappointed. Experience shows that users are not interested in that level of detail when creating content, let alone folders. Letting typical users create folders is a bad idea anyway, as they tend to create the same inefficient folder structures they previously created in file shares within Content Server.
If you need to tightly control folder attributes, you'll be better served by locking down the ability to create new folders. Otherwise you're looking at some type of customization. Keep in mind that you won't be able to customize the right click behavior of DIS. Any changes to DIS would have to be an enhancement request.

What does all does metadata fields mean?

So far, I haven't yet created a personalized Metadata Preset for all my photos because I don't understand most of the fields, what they exactly mean and where is that value going to be displayed/read by.
Can anyone help me on that or point to me to an article or guide about each metadata field editable in Lightroom?
For instance, Basic Info has fields like "Caption", "Rating", "Label" and Copy Name". Well, I believe Caption is the photo name (if we decide to give it one), Rating is self explanatory but Label and Copy Name I have no clue what are they for and where are they going to be used, etc...
IPTC Content, IPTC Copyright, IPTC Creator, IPTC Image and IPTC Status, what are all these for and what about each of their fields, I don't know what they mean and what are they for, where they will be read/used, all that...
After understanding what all those fields mean, which ones do you recommend to fill for a preset or how do you do it with your photos? I mean, I believe IPTC Image is something to do with a respective image, so, if I have a bunch of images from different countries, places and whatever, it makes no sense to have a preset for that unless I'm importing a bunch of photos from a specific place. But I'm talking about a more general preset that you use for all or most of your photos. What should I fill?
But more importantly, I need/want to understand all those fields, what are they for and how they will be used, etc, but the most important thing in all of this is to know what each field means, otherwise, I won't be able to know if I want to provide that information or not and if I know what to write there.
P.S: Try not to confuse me a lot ;)

Automatic creation of customer from BP - How to match the fields? CVI

I am trying to create a customer from a BP. I am done all the customizing steps.
Now I need to match the fields.
There is an error message with this field KNA1-SPRAS that doenst match
what should I do?
I have read this "In particular you have matched the required entry fields. You have to set all fields that are required entry fields in the customer/vendor account as required entry fields in the field selection control for your customer/vendor business partner roles."
Where do I set these fields and how do I know which fields to set?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I am trying to create a customer. I am done all the customizing steps.
Which steps do you follow to create? Please give me the details. Thanks.
After customizing, I created the business partner using the BP transaction. In the syncronizationcockit I still have errors messages when I select BP->Customer and then give the BP number. How should I do this correctly. Please if possible a screenshot will be good.
I have an error message that a field information is missing. I filled the field but still have the same error.

Managed Metadata Fields not showing up in preview mode

votefavorite
In our SharePoint 2013 Publishing page, managed metadata fields doesn't show in preview, they show up only in edit mode or after we publish page.
Is this bug?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the managed metadata fields not display in preview.
I tried to reproduce the issue, the managed metadata fields worked well in my environment.
I create a publishing page, add a library web part which contained managed metadata columns.
Then click the preview option in the ribbon, the managed metadata columns worked well.
Did the issue occur in other publishing pages? You can create a new publishing page to check whether it works.
Did you use the compatibility mode or add the site into trusted sites?
You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
What's more, you can use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome.
Thanks & Regards,

Get value based on column names for custom metadata field of Webcenter Content

In UCM, I created a custom metadata field of type Text. I then enabled optlist in that field. I populate values to the optList, I am using a View. The View has three columns. Let us call them ID, Key, Value. OptList displays the Keys in its list. I then create a Content (Content ID: MyContent) in Webcenter Content and choose values from OptList for my new metadata field (MyField).
From Webcenter Portal, I am populating a selectOneChoice with values of MyField in the Content ID: MyContent. Remember from previous step, the values populated in selectOneChoice is the list of values selected from optList field MyField. This optList is in-turn populated from View. After the user selects a value in selectOneChoice, in Javascript, I need to alert a message in this format "value chosen - corresponding value from View of optList that populates MyField"
I think an example will be useful:
Here is a View that I created in Configuration Manager applet in Admin Applets of Webcenter Content:
ID | State | Capital
1 | North Carolina | Raleigh
2 | California | Sacramento
3 | Illinois | Chicago
Then, I create a Custom Field (Name: MyField). MyField is an optList the values are populated from View created above. The internal value and display value are both State. Then I Check-In a new content with Content Id: MyContent. For MyContent, I select these values from OptList for MyField: {North Carolina, Illinois}.
In my Webcenter Portal application, I create a Content Presenter Taskflow. I configure it as a single item content presenter. I assign MyContent as Content Id. Then, in templateView, I get all values of MyField in MyContent and display them as selectOneChoice. I created a javascript function that would get the value that user selected in selectOneChoice. In the View created in Webcenter Content's Configuration Manager (above), there is a value corresponding to each value displayed. So, for the selected value, I need to get the corresponding Capital and display it in my alert message.
From Javascript, how can I get the value of Capital, given I have the value of State.

Hi.
The idea to achieve your requirement is next:
Create a helper manage bean that will be call as Map access: #{stateUtil['Calofironia']} (it will return Raleigh). This value will be get calling GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VALUES IDC service using RIDC in your manage bean.
Pass the result of #{stateUtil['statename']} to your JavaScript function using <af:clientAttribute.../>
I hope this information help you.
Regards,

Custom metadata fields in ISCSSearchResponse

Hi all,
we are search UCM with CIS using the ISCSSearchAPI. The returned ISCSSearchResponse object contains most of our metadata fields as properties, but some are missing. Of course, we need one of the missing ones.
When I call the GET_SEARCH_RESULTS service from UCM, the missing metadata field is returned.
Does anybody know how I can configure the search to return my specific field as well?
thanks,
Harold

Hi Ronen,
you can
If you have defined the properties working now, you know this path: System Administration - System Configuration - KM - Configuration - CM - Global Services - Property Structures.
There you have the property structure DefaultPropertiesStructure using the property group all_groups.
all_groups consists of system, custom ... etc. in the order the tab strips come up when using details for a resource. Within each group, under group items the property or the property group to be rendered appears (in the order they get rendered). This holds recursively for all groups.
If you have defined your properties within group "custom", just arrange them in Group Items in the order you like.
Hope it helps

Select Button beside custom metadata field on Check In Form

Hi
In Oracle Content Server 10gR3, is there a way to add a "Select" button to User Alias Applet for a new Meta data field on New Check In Form? I tried creating a component but I don't see a select button being shown up. The button does shows up if it's a standard metadata fields but not for the custom one. Here is the component code.

Interesting!
You'll need a component. You already mentioned you had a custom metadata field. You will also need to add a counter to the counters table for your component. During a check in you will need to fetch the next value from the counters table, increment the counter and store the new number back in the table. The year portion of the id is easy, get the current year and grab the last two characters. Then, put this all togther to get the data for your metadata field.
The big question now is where in the check in process will you do all this? You will need something called filters probably. Maybe addFiles, maybe validateStandard, there are several that this could work with.
