Method for quickly putting file names into IPTC core description?

I would like to put the file names into the IPTC core description. The files are all named differently .Is there a way to batch this or any other way of automatically including it so that I don't have to do each file separately? Or perhaps there is a plug in?
I am using PS5/ bridge on a mac.

You only need a script… not a plug-in to do this. Search the bridge scripting forum as Im sure Paul has posted several variations of scripts that do this…

Copy file name to IPTC (core) Instructions

Hello
In the past Paul has written some great scripts to autuomate my Bridge workflow. I'm hoping for another brilliant concoction.
I wish to copy my file name to the IPTC core- 'Instructions' field so that the original name will be preserved somewhere in case renaming more than once wipes that file name out of the File Properties palette.
Thanks!
Don

I have Bridge CS2 and CS3 and for some reason the CS3 version has the "Preserve Filename..." checkbox grayed out and I cannot figure out why. I was also looking for a way to view the "Preserved Filename..." and the only way I could do this was by using Bridge CS2 (since it isn't working for me in CS3), going to rename the file I am trying to view the old name on, and select "Preserved Filename" under the dropdown menu. This is a huge hastle and for some reason Lightroom 1.0 does not have the capability of preserving filenames at all! The DAM capabilities of Lightroom truly need work, but it is a wonderful application nonetheless, and I use it now for everything and haven't needed to use Bridge since I got Lightroom.

How do i upload an image to a server and put the name into a database table

Ok, i found a php image upload script that im using for a cms
image gallery on my site. But for it to work the way i need to i
have to have certain information submited into a mysql table at the
same time. I could just make it so the user types the name of the
image in a second form, but i would rather not have to as it seems
a clumsy way to do things and opens things up to typos etc.
So, i can upload the image ok, and i can upload data to the
table, but i dont know what I have to do so that the name of the
uploaded file is automaticly inserted into the mysql table.
The first bit of code below is the form I am using to upload
the file to the server. The second bit of code is what I am using
to tell the server what the file name is.
How do I combine the 2 form into one? Please help. It is
driving me to dispair.
Attach Code
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php"
method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="500000"

type="file" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

Hi Jeff:
Though this does not show you how to solve this issue via a
code
snippett, there are a couple of extensions at WebAssist.com
that enable
you to do this, they are Data Assist and Digital File Pro.
When you have
time, take a look at these Solution Recipes (tutorials) that
show how
DataAssist is used and then now Digital File Pro is used in
conjunction
with DataAssist:
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/solutionrecipe/Media_139.asp
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/solutionrecipe/Media_112.asp
DataAssist can be used to save time when you need to build
database
search and management applications quickly, and Digital File
Pro can be
used to include file upload functionality to your form fields
while
enabling you to insert your server file name into the
database, all on
the same page.
enthusiastically,

Get the file name into a Odi variable

Hi,
I need to get the file name into odi variable like ..A/ETC/file.txt
For eg.the filename file.txt should get store in a variable.
Then i want to compare the file name stored in the variable with some other value.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

in package,
declare the variable, then evaluate it with another variable, generally using # syntax
if the variable is date type, suggest to use : syntax, because # will treat the variable value as text value
in loadplan
use case when syntax,

Script to insert file name into keywords field of same file

Hello,
search a solution, a Script or another, which writes the file name into keywords field of same file (Metadata: Description/Keywords) in "photoshop", "bridge" or better in "Lightroom" .
I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:
"script to insert file name into keywords field of same file"
Thanks and best greetings
Wolfgang

This works in CS2:-
#target bridge
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
nameDescription = MenuElement.create("command", "AddName to Description", "at the beginning of Thumbnail");
nameDescription .onSelect = function () {
     nameToDescription();
function nameToDescription(){
var items = app.document.selections;
      for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) {
         var item = items[i];
var m = item.synchronousMetadata;
filenameToDesc(m, item.name.slice(0,-4));
function filenameToDesc(metadata, Description) {
var strTmpl = "name2Desc";
var strUser = Folder.userData.absoluteURI;
var filTmpl = new File(strUser + "/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates/" + strTmpl + ".xmp");

File name into text field

Is there a way to display the forms file name, into a text field?
Example: The form's file name is "MyForm.1.01.pdf"
I would like to display "MyForm.1.01" in a text field on the form.
If my form is saved and goes up a revision to say "MyForm.1.02"
"MyForm.1.02" is then displayed in the text field.
I was thinking, this could be on the pre open event, so that when the form is saved, it would display the new revision when the form is next opened?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The following will get the file name:
this.rawValue = event.target.documentFileName;
I would put this in the docReady event, as this event fires only once, when the form opens.
There is a sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=ZnxO-dlXXFDS0GvYcQk2NQ
Hope that helps,

Linux file name into ODI variable

Hello All,
I have a situation where we have files in one directory in linux ,I want to import the file name into a ODI variable.
Ex : A_B_C_2014_01_20.zip (inside this zip file are the flat files with data) is the file name in /u02/source_files location , i want this into a ODI variable and once the data loading is complete ,i want to log it saying
A_B_C_2014_01_20.zip complete
A_B_C_2014_01_21.zip complete.
So my other shell script will look for the complete flag and copy the next file into the ODI pick up location.In this case I need to pick up A_B_C_2014_01_22.zip and start the data loading.
How do i implement this functionality in ODI. Please let me know.

Issue was due to a syntax error. Case closed.
Thanks!

Sharepoint Workflow : how to get document full path + file name into variable?

Hi,
Anybody knows how to get document full path + file name into a variable in Sharepoint 2010 workflow?
Example http://sp1:80/InvoiceQueue/Shared Documents/123.pdf
I am using List Workflow which links to a document library.

Hi SAMSUNG,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to create a method for reading a file

i tried to make it as static method for reading a file and
then to return string
is this code correct?
          public static String fileMaterial(String fileName)
               fileReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
               info = fileReader.readLine();
               while(school != null)     {
                    return info;
                    info = fileReader.readLine();

I created a class you might want to look at. I come from a world of C and love fgets() and other FILE stream functions. I created a class that uses the Java I/O buts to the calling application behaves like fgets and such. The block of code where I do the calling in the calling program even looks like C. In my class I capture almost all errors and set error buffers to the errors. The calling program looks at the return to see if it succedded or errored.
BuffIO new = BuffIO.fopen("fiilename", "r");
String s;
if((s = new.fgets()) == null)
System.err.println("error reading file: " + new.ferror());
That would be waht the calling program does

Is there a Function module for transfering a file contents into another?That is the whole content from a file to other??

Hi,
I think there is no such FM. You need to read the data in internal table and then write it in another file.
