Microsoft Pro Photo Tools 2 Includes Support For XMP Sidcar Files

http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/tools.aspx
This is a link to Microsoft's new Pro Photo Tools 2, which includes reading and writing to XMP sidecar files. I don't know how well it works.

Have you looked at Jeffrey Friedl's cross platform tool? http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/gps and http://regex.info/blog/2008-10-29/979
This works inside Lightroom, understands track log files, works with manual tagging from google maps and much more.

Microsoft Pro Photo - Geotag metadata in Lightroom

Geotagging (embedding location information in image metadata) has occasionally been mentioned in posts in this forum, but I just thought I'd share my recent experiences with Microsoft Pro Photo Tools (MPPT) with those that may not be aware of its existence/capabilities.
MPPT is essentially a metadata editor with Geotagging capability - and it is free (
). Since version 2 it has supported Adobe's XMP sidecar file format. I've recently used it with the following workflow to tag my images with location info directly from a separate GPS:
1. Whilst shooting pictures, I carry around my Garmin GPS, recording my track (optional).
2. Back at home, I download my images into LR, automatically adding copyright metadata, etc to all files at import.
3. I download the track information from my Garmin GPS, saving it as a GPX file.
4. I then open up the track GPX file and the images in MPPT.
5a. Based on the date/time exif data embedded in the image file and the date/time information in the track file, MPPT automatically identifies the location of each image and displays them on a map.
5b. If you have no GPS, you can easily enter in location and fine tune on a map. For example, enter "Seattle Art Museum" and the selected images are associated with the location of the Seattle Art Museum and shown on a map for you to fine tune!
6. With one click, MPTT then writes location metadata (Country, State, City, Location, etc) to either the original image file or the sidecar XMP (depending on user defined configuration) - I write the data to XMP.
7. Back to Lightroom and sync metadata (one click). At that point, all the location metadata is visible within the Library module.
I was impressed how easy this all was. One day this capability may well be within LR, but until then this is an easy way to geotag your images.

Is there support for animated .gif files?

Is there support for animated gif files using
form builder? I can't get it to work.
Thanks
Sean
I am using forms 6.0

She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
Thanks,

Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

Single Driver for ni-rio 9146 without overhead by included support for all similar HW

I recognized that the driver package for NI-Rio 2014 is about 4GB in size but i need only support for NI-Rio 9146.
Can i download also a single specific driver?

No.
This is the same as with the NI DAQ boards. One has download the entire NI-DAQmx which is several gigabytes in size.

Random support for .BWF Poly files in CC

Audition's support for .BWF files seems patchy and random. I use the industry standard Sound Devices recorders and the good news is that Audition will open all the files and 'see' all the individual tracks within - unfortunately it will only play back only 30-40% of them. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
There seems to be no logic to this. The norm is that anything over 1Gb will open, but not play. However I have several files that are only 2-300MB that will not play. All files are recorded as 24bit / 48Hz and all are 'Poly files' i.e. they contain multi tracks as output by the SD recorder. All these files play perfectly in Reaper / Apple Logic Pro X but the latter is poor and does not show the individual tracks, Audition displays these, just refuses to play them!
Nick

Hi Nick,
Any chance you can share one of the affected files with us? Send me an e-mail to [email protected] and I'll send a shared Creative Cloud folder to make this easy. I'll make sure I can reproduce the problem on our side, and troubleshoot further.
thanks.

Support for Office 2007 files (especially docx) ?

Hi,
can you please give me a hint if it's possible to use ora-text with the current office 2007 file formats ?
I need to have support for word 2007 (docx) format very soon
Is it already available ?
If not, is there a plan to support those formats ?
Thank you

Hi,
the workaround descrived above would also work for your plsql app. Therefore you can use the PL/SQL XSLT Processor in order to extract the content needed from the office 2007 documents. See DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.
What is your business case? How do you store and index your documents?
p.s Here is an example of an xslt to extract the text content from an docx document. The internal structure of docx document is based on the Open Packaging Conventions (see http://openxmldeveloper.org/articles/OPC_parts.aspx )

No support for avi video files in symbian belle

well, the os is super impressive and the video player too.. But there is a problem while playing avi files. There is no preinstalled support for this type of file. While mp4 works fine without any problems. (i'm talking about nokia 600,603,700,701,n8,,etc)

Yeah, there are some issues for some codecs. But you should be fine for aac/xvid files. I can run them without any problem. Also i can run .mkv files.
THANK YOU
If this post was useful, click the white star.
Nokia 808 with Belle FP2 (113.010.1506)

Support for playing mkv files

doubt if there will be any video players like mx player or updates coming for playing mkv files in my lumia 720

There, you go …
I recommend to subscribe to that. When the situation changes, you get notified by email.

Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) and support for two external monitor

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" (Late 2013) and are looking to buy two DELL U2414 monitors. But after searching the web i´m a little bit confused if my MBPr will actually supports connecting two montors from one single Display port.
I will be using this montors at work where I use my MBPr with Windows7 (Paralllels).
I want to set up these two monitors with extended desktop not mirroring. The reason of using just one DP on my MBPr is that the other one is used by my wired ethernet connection. Will this work under OSX10.9.2 or 10.9.3?. Does my MBPr 13" support DP1.2a MST that is needed for daisy chain multiple monitors?

The hardware supports DP1.2 and MST but unfortunately at present OS X Mavericks does not.

Does HTMLEditorKit's object support include support for applets?

Hello,
I have a Swing application containing a JEditorPane used to display some HTML pages. I would like to embed a Java applet in one of the pages, but have had no success getting it to load.
Is it possible to load an applet within an HTML document displayed by JEditorPane/HTMLEditorKit? From http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/text/html/HTMLEditorKit.html:
"The <applet> tag is not supported, but some support is provided for the <object> tag."
What does "some support" mean exactly? (I'm using JDK 1.5)
The applet I've written loads successfully in Firefox using the following code:
<applet code=cprgraph.CPRGraphApplet width="557" height="319"></applet>as well as
<object codetype="application/java" classid="java:cprgraph/CPRGraphApplet.class" width=557 height=319>
</object>The applet is in the package cprgraph, and located in a directory cprgraph which is in my CLASSPATH.
If HTMLEditorKit can't load applets, is there an alternative that can? Or any other way to embed a JComponent in an HTML document displayed by a Java application?
Thanks,
Ben

Use Java SE 6.0 beta or wait untill it is released in Fall 2006

Hi mate
First of all thanks a lot
Ive got a U400 and I have installed a Intel graphic card driver from the Intel page too.
I didnt execute the exe file but I updated my driver in device manager.
This worked fine.
Also I read here in the forum that drivers from external pages can be used only at the own risk because such drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba
However, my U400 run trouble free till now.

Will Edge include support for color coding for ASP Classic .asp files

We have some old sites running asp Classic (Active server Pages)
How can I add color coding for .asp files?

Edge Code should already highlight .asp files as plain HTML. If you're looking for highlighting of the ASP-specific code, that is something Edge Code does not plan to support out of the box.
It is possible to write an extension that adds this support, but it would not be a small amount of work -- you'd have to write a tokenizer yourself to support syntax highlighting, for example. Details on writing an extension that adds a new language can be found here: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Language-Support#defining-a-new-language
- Peter

When will Edge include support for TypeScript

TypeScript is a recently developed strongly typed, and open source language that generates javascript. Will Edge support TypeScript?

Are you asking for syntax highlighting (color coding) support? If so, it is already available in Edge Code. But you need to add the following code in www/language/languages.json file before "vbscript" section and relaunch Edge Code. Be careful when updating this JSON file. If you make a syntax error in this file, you won't be able to open Edge Code. If that happens, then you need to open this file in other editor and correct the error.

        "name": "TypeScript",

K7N420 Pro v.1.0 - No support for anything over 100Mhz FSB

I have the MSI K7N420 Pro v.1.0 and I've tried 3 different known good CPUs in this board. (2 Athlon XP 1700+ and 1 Athlon 1.2ghz). Both Athlon XPs are designated: AX1700DMT3C, while the 1.2Ghz is designated A1200AMS3C. I tried several different memory modules from 128MB to 512MB individually and in pairs / and in one memory slot at a time or side-by-side slots. And two PSUs: 1 250W Enlight and a 500W "off brand". I have 1 IDE hard drive and 1 CD ROM. I was able to install Windows once, using one of the 1700+, but then realized that it only registered as a 1100Ghz. Went into the BIOS and changed it to the proper setting (133/266/66) and it registered as the 1700+. But soon after the boot the system just goes black and halts. After a long diagnosis (and updating the BIOS), I've found that when I raise the FSB setting to anything over 100Mhz, the motherboard can't handle it. What is that all about? Is this motherboard FUBAR or what?

The high temp. is partly because of the fast memory. It can however get bettered with a reseating of the processor, or rather a better processor heat sink & fan (HSF).
Before you give up, try this:
Reseating time
You need:
a star shaped, Philips screwdriver, and an ordinary flat one
strong, preferably chemical alcohole and/or Acetonic
a tuss of cotton
clean, preferably dust free cloths
thermal grease, preferably Arctic Silver
good light and a large kitchen table
some patience
a vacuum cleaner, preferably reversible, or a can of compressed air is not bad.
Pull the power cable out, and disconnect mouse, keyboard and such cables from the rear.
Put the case with the open side up on the kitchen table or similar. Have a newspaper under to prevent scratches.
Disconnect all cabling and possible AGP- and PCI-cards from the motherboard. It isn't absolutely necessary, but you might as well take the memory out too, as it will give you more freedom later.
With a philips screwdriver /star shaped/ unfasten the motherboard. When lifting it out I normally use the heat sink. Lift slowly.
Put the motherboard beside the case on something a bit soft, a cloth or a thick newspaper. Use an ordinary, flat, screwdriver to unfasten the heat sink. You push a clip down, and when that is loose it's easy to lift the heat sink off.
Clean both the bottom of the heat sink and the processor chip from old thermal grease. This is important! Strong alcohole and oil free Acetonic and a tuss(?) of cotton are good for this. After the cleaning, dry with a clean cloth.
If it is possible, use high-pressure air to blow the heat sink fins free of dust.
Make a note of the model no. on the processor.
Put the processor back on. Add a small drop of new thermal grease on the very chip of the processor. The drop might be half the size of a corn of rice. Spread it out with a plastic card: American Express Gold.
Make a virtual seating of the heat sink, so you are sure where to finally fasten the clip.
This might sound like a major task, but when prepared you'll do it in about fifteen minutes.
Before putting the motherboard back, you might have a look to see if the case needs some dry cleaning. Also have a look at the PSU and the cards. Don't use anything than air.
Here is some additional, illustrated, guidance:
