Memo Pad for ratings and labels

Would be nice to have a catalog specific memo pad available to notate what
the ratings and labels one has applied mean in that particular catalog. For
example, I recently opened a catalog I hadn't used in a few weeks and was
puzzled what I had meant by the green labels that were applied to some
images. Because of differing needs for differing sets of images, I can't
have one standardized meaning for all stars and colors and pick flags. So
then we could note Green means "email image", Purple means "Print select"
or something like that...

Along these lines, it'd be nice to tag images with personal text notes like "this is the image that Fred liked", or "needs masking in photoshop"... Then, when you moused-over the image, the note would pop-up in a little balloon.
I suppose you could use the metadata to add notes, but it doesn't work quite this smoothly.

Issue with setting ratings and labels

Greetings all. I am having an issue with setting ratings AND labels on image files at the same time. If the script sets the label first then the rating, the label doesn't show in Bridge. If the script sets the rating first then the label, the rating doesn't show in Bridge.
Is there a workaround for this? Here is my script function for doing this. file=filename minus extension. Rating is a number for the desired rating. lab is a number for the level of Label I wish to set. Everything works great except that I can't set both Rating and Label with the script as shown. In this instance, only the Ratings will show up in Bridge after running the script. If I move the x.label=Label line under the x.rating=Rating line, then the ratings only show for those images with no label (lab=0). Any image that gets a label receives no rating.
If you're going to test this, you may want to comment out the Collections part. That's the part within the "switch(Number(Rating))" block.
function setRating(file,Rating,lab) {
    try{
        cr=File(file+"CR2");
        psd=File(file+"psd");
        jpg=File(file+"jpg");
        tif=File(file+"tif");
        switch(lab) {
            case 0: Label = ""; break;
            case 1: Label = "Select"; break;
            case 2: Label = "Second"; break;
            case 3: Label = "Approved"; break;
        if (cr.created) {

            c.label=Label;

Afew errors to start with, you were not creating a proper file as there wasn't a fullstop in the filename.
If a CR2 file didn't exist no other file was looked for, you were using "created" and should have been "exists"
This now labels and rates....

Ratings and Labels

I am finally convinced that I should start using Adobe Bridge for organizing my pictures (it seems a little late in the game since I have around 80,000 pictures in my system). However ... I need something to do this winter, so I want to concentrate on organizing my pictures.
The question .... I'd like to get input on what others have done with both ratings and labels. I would suspect that a rating of 5 would be outstanding and 1 would be poor. A red label could be for B&W.
If I am going to spend a lot of time organizing, I'd like to start with a good base of organizing tools that mean something.
Also ... if anyone has any other tips for organizing in Bridge, PLEASE list them....
Thanks

Maybe the Bridge Forum is a better place for the question:

Feature Request: Linked flags, ratings, and labels in a stack

I use stacks to group the original image with derivatives of that image, but the way Flags, Ratings, and Labels work on stacked images isn't well implemented for that.
Often, I will create derivatives of the original by flagging a bunch of images as Picks, then using export to create the new files. When I do this, the rating and status of the original are automatically added to the new files. Unfortunately, the Flag status is not, so I cannot, for example, just set a filter for Flag = Pick and continue working with the same set of images. Likewise, since stacks aren't fully implemented in collections, I can't just create a collection first and then continue working there the way I'd like to.
What I'd like is to have a checkbox in the export dialogue, when I am stacking with the original, that will allow me to copy the Flag status to the new files. That way, my Flag=Pick filter will allow me to keep on working with the same set of photos.
Even once the photos are stacked, I can't really work with them as a set because, now, a Flag, Rating, or Label change to one image in the stack doesn't affect the others. For me, since these are all derivative of the master image, I generally want such changes to apply to the entire stack. I know this probably isn't true for others, so what I envision is an intuitive icon on a stack to quickly link or unlink, or select or unselect, all images in the stack. When all are linked or selected, any changes would affect all the images in the stack, otherwise, changes would only apply to the currently selected or visible image in the stack.

Thanks Carolyn.
I'll follow your link.
I'd also like to know others input. Sometimes I think I'm the only ones who is used to shortcuts, or I have to wait until forum residents quit writing (others might think I'm taken care of and not replying) so people who actually uses the Mac to work can opine.
Anyway, here's how I use the browser when working. I think it's very common, or at least enough for an "option".

Share ratings and labels

Is there a way to share my ratings and labels that I made in Bridge with other people?
I usually work with my editor, we both have all the clips on our computers (we work in different places).
What I'd like to do is to give him all the ratings and labels I've done in Bridge without sending him all the files again.
Can I do something like this?
Thank you!
Stefano

Thanks, but I work with video and I do all the shooting. Once at home I review all the footage within Bridge and I sort all the clips by rating them with 1 to 3 stars.
Sometimes my editor doesn't have any file when I've done all the rating so I just send him all the files and they actually have rating and label inside the metadata (because Bridge writes them inside the file's metadata while rating).
The problem is when my editor takes with him all the footage right after the shooting (and it happens quite all the time). When I've done all my sorting I need to send him stars and labels but it's not confortable to send him all the files again so I was wondering if there is a way to export all my ratings to send him.
Working with Premiere and After Effects is easy, we both have all the footage in the same directory and we just have to send the projects to each other (and the software automatically link all the media) but recently I've discoverd how usefull is Bridge to orginize and manage all the clips and I'd like to share with him all my work. It'd be a lot easier and faster!
Thank you again,
Stefano

Can I share "Ratings" and "Labels" with another person? When I send the photos to another person they cannot "see" any stars or colored label ?

Can I share "Ratings" and "Labels" with another person? When I send the photos to another person they cannot "see" any stars or colored label that I set?

You can convert your file to a .dng file and that will encapsulate the meta data into the file instead of it being in a separate side car file!

Stationery Pad for Pages and TextEdit?

Hi,
I just saw the Apple video podcast about Stationery Pad and decided to try it out. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with "container" document types, include Pages and .rtfd TextEdit files!
Is there a work around for this? For example, would it be possible to save a TextEdit/Pages document as one file, or is there a way to get the feature to work with, um, types that people might expect to make stationery/templates with?
Perhaps it would be better for me to look into how templates work in Pages . . . too bad, it sounded like such a nifty universal feature to have in Finder.
Thanks!
Daniel

Hi.
I just found myself in the same situation. I have a pages document wich I have to fill and archive every now and then. So far, I've been using "save as", but the stationery pad should do this for me. Why doesn't it work and what can we do about it, I wish I know.
And I used to believe that Mac doesn't make mistakes like Microsoft.
If you find a solution, please let me know.

Memo Pad Disappeared

Had quite a few issues after upgrading my BB to OS4.5, just when I thought everything is working correctly, the Memo Pad icon disappeared. It is neither hidden nor in any folder, I checked everywhere. The funny thing is, it is still syncing with Lotus Notes, so it's hidden somewhere. Wiped BB clean twice, and it will be back; however, once I installed the third party applications, WorldMate, Google Map, and CallingCardDialer, the Memo Pad disappeared again. I could do a Search and find the memo, but just can't find the icon. Help, anyone?

If the memo pad is there and working properly until you load these 3rd party apps then it's obviously a 3rd party app that is causing this problem.
If you are missing the Email Setup icon then you are missing some service books. Go to Options >Advanced Options >Host Routing Table. Press the menu key and select "Register Now."

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes or labels? Address book, numbers or pages?

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes and labels? Address book, Pages or Numbers?

I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
also by the same deal?
Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
efficient way to do it.

Is there any purpose for Ratings?

I've had iTunes for many years, and once upon a time, I had the impression that songs with higher ratings were played more frequently when I had turned on shuffling. However, a few years ago, that feature disappeared. A made an inquiry here, but nobody seemed to know anything. I just did a search of this forum for "ratings" and "frequency" and came up empty-handed.
There's no question that Ratings have zero impact on the what songs are chosen during shuffling. I have examined the statistics on how many times different songs are played, and they show zero tendency to play highly rated songs more often than low-rated songs. Just now, acting on a hunch, I tried clicking on the "Ratings" column header so that it is dark-highlighted. That had no apparent effect.
In fact, I am hard to put to understand the purpose of the Ratings feature. I understand that one could create a playlist including only those songs with some specified rating, but that seems hardly worth bothering with; if you're never going to play low-rated songs, why not just get rid of them?
I would dearly love it if the shuffling algorithm gave some priority to high-rated songs, but since this appears to be an impossibility, I'll instead ask a simpler question: can anybody tell me what possible use Ratings have?

Yes, features come and go, and not everyone values what the next person does. I never used the Party Shuffle feature, nor the new Up Next feature.
For what you're missing, perhaps a workaround is a smart playlist to pull a subset of your library based on whatever criteria you want to filter by (genre(s), last played date, etc.) then use the "Limit to xxx items selected by highest rating". As long as your "Limit to xxx" quantity is larger than the total quantity of your 4 and 5 star songs, then by definition the selected population will be slanted towards your higher ratings.
Alternatively, create smart playlists that grab just your 3 star songs, another for 4, and another for 5, all limited to varying "Limit to" values to shape the population. Each of these can be summed up into a master playlist, which you would then shuffle.
Personally, if I wanted to shuffle things in my library I'd rather have more control than some algorithm someone cooked up who knows nothing about the variety of stuff I listen to.

Antec Cooling Pad for MacBook Pro

I bought the Antec Cooling pad with two fans for my MacBook pro, when it woudl charge and working it got pretty warm. I have to say, having the fans running under the MacBook dropped the temps significantly, I think. On average I would say around 10 degrees C is what I am seeing.
I"ve got iTunes, Word, Mail, Safari, Firefox all running with the temp showing 48 C on both cpu...give or take a degree flux.

Count me as another happy Antec Cooling Pad owner.
At home, where I primarily use the MBP for OSX, I have the iLap, which is a great but passive cooling stand for use on the table or my lap. Works fine, lowers temps by an average of 3-4C.
However at work I often have to run WinXP on my MBP. That puts it in full torch mode, for whatever reason. I bought an Antec Cooling pad for work, and I don't have the figures (as I don't have a temp monitor on the Windows side) but I would estimate that it's cooled it at least 10C, maybe more. Routinely the top of the MBP where my palms rest would get past warm, almost to hot, and the speaker grills would emit hot air, a lot hotter than when running OSX.
After I bought the Antec, and put 4 small rubber stoppers on it to elevate the MBP about 1/4" above the aluminum surface (which did seem to increase airflow), now the MBP running Windows feels just like when it does on idle running OSX.
Two thumbs up, and a hearty recommendation for anyone who has to use WinXP on the MBP or who constantly has the MBP on very high load.

Ratings and play counts not synced to iTunes

I just got a 2G iPod nano 2GB. Whenever I add ratings or increase the play count for songs on the iPod and then sync to iTunes, the ratings and play counts are obliterated by whatever iTunes has for its data. Example: I make a 5 star smart playlist in iTunes with Live update, then while listening to iPod I rate some songs with 5 stars. They show up in the playlist on iPod since they have 5 stars, but once I sync with iTunes again, the stars are wiped out and the smart playlist is back to exactly what is was in iTunes.
It seems to me that syncing should take whichever has newer information (iPod or iTunes) and propagate it to the other. I read some topics from others that had this same problem and people have repeatedly stated that Automatic syncing must be enabled and not manually manage music. I don't have room to put all my music on the iPod, but I have enabled automatic syncing with selected playlists. My question is this: does this count as automatic updating for the purposes of ratings and play counts being copied to iTunes when I sync with iPod? Or does automatic sync need to be for the entire library in order for ratings and play counts to be propagated? Thanks!
iPod nano 2G Windows XP

My question is this: does this count as automatic updating for the purposes of ratings and play counts being copied to iTunes when I sync with iPod?
it should do. green eyes is a second gen nano, i'm syncing selected playlists only, and my play counts and ratings are updating in the smart playlists.
are you playing the songs through completely? i'm noticing that i only get a playcount update if i've completely played the song. (the ratings changes go through regardless of whether or not i've completely played a song on green eyes, though.)
