.mov comments tagging char limit??!!

Adding comments to .mov files in iTunes I notice that upon finishing the dialogue disappears as if everything is okay.. but its not as there seems to be a limit to the amount of characters one can use in the comments field.
The problem I have it that no notification is given to signify the cut off point, like a ticker with remaining chars left, or that the whole of the text written is not embedded. This is quite unsettling, can anybody please confirm if there is a limit.

I just received a reply from a metadata pro telling me that the mov format has no char restrictions for the comments field and it must be iTunes that is restricting the comments I can leave. Humf.
I emailed Apple about this, I think that comments should be infinite in size, I like a good story with my movies, that I shot. On the other hand (unlike the iPhone v2.0 software) he said that as mov is an Apple format that there would be no data corruption from tagging with iTunes :))

Char limit for .mov format?

Originally posted in the iTunes for Mac forum but to no avail; I would really like to know if there is a char limit in the comments fields of the movie .mov format? When typing in comments for a .mov I find that only a certain amount save leading me to believe either:
a) iTunes enforces a char limit
b) .mov has a char limit
Either way its a disaster for my media handling, I'm quite verbose.

Hamper..don't hold your breath for a fix since 255 sounds horribly like a limit defined by the underlying architecture... Chances are that there is a single data byte that is used to tell iTunes just how many characters there are in the Comments field. As you may/may not know, one byte can only record a max of 255 characters.

Further investigation reveals that if I unpack the jar file in a directory (jar xvf xxxx.jar) and change the classpath to "." instead of the jarfile, the program launches perfectly. This is definintely a bug in the classpath handling of big jar files on certain systems, or something of that sort. (Note: I'm using java sdk 6u1, 32 bit CentOS Linux.)

I've encountered the same problem on RH FC6.
If you take a look at the script you will see this line tail +368 "$0" which attempts to extract the remaining lines into a separate jar file. This line may not work on all versions of Linux. A proper way to use Linux version of tail utility is: tail -n +368 "$0". Anyways, you can manually extract the jar file if you are getting tail +368 file not found error message when running the script.
After you extract the jar file you can run it via the command line like so
java -classpath .:./tmp/jwsdp.jar -Djava.ext.dirs= -D.java.endorsed.dirs= -Dtemp.dir=/opt/java/jwsdp/tmp -Dis.debug=1 JWSDP
You should be able to install JWSDP 2.0 successfully on your Linux machine.

Howto overcome the 255 char limit in XSLT when outputting using method=text

Hi, I am facing a problem in my XSLT program to output a CSV file. The header line is exceeding 255 char limit, seems built into the editor and looks like it repeats the 255th character into the next line where it finishes the rest of the line. Now this screws the columns in the CSV file. I have tried different combinations of <xsl:text></xsl:text> tags but to no avail.
Is there a way to overcome this problem, spanning a line onto multiple lines in SAP but getting a single line in the output ?
Thanks in advance.
Swapan

I should have known better to searched in SAP provided documentation instead here first. I needed to end the line with &> chars to continue into the next line.

Firefox 4 seems to action on some html tags that are included within a html comment tag which it should not.

Consider the following html code where I open a textarea and include a comment tag within the textarea. Within the comment tag (which Firefox 4 should ignore) I've included a close textarea tag. Firefox 4 (unlike FF3 and IE) closes the textarea.
The following code is also available at
http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/caa/ffbug/index.html
We are about to start a textarea....<p>
<pre><nowiki><textarea rows='20' cols='40'>
Here is the textarea.
Inside these comment blocks I'll put a close textarea tag which Firefox should ignore but does not.
<p>

</textarea>
<p></nowiki></pre>
This code should be outside the textbox.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

How can I move out the char Θ

hello.
How can I move out the char Θ (unicode U+0398) оn Jspx-page used af:outputlabel.
When I write <af:outputLabel value="27. char(Θ)" />, application auto replace on char "?".
thx, Dema.

Hello
Probably an encoding problem.
try changing your charset into your JSP:
ex: <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
I tried it and it works for me

How to Edit Comment Tag in DW CS3?

I would like to customize the HTML comment tag for my own
preferences. I know how to edit the colors and font under
Preferences, but I would like to change the whole tag and add some
more spaces and dashes. How do I edit this in DW CS3?
Thanks..

That's invalid, I believe. You cannot have more than two
dashes on either
side, as I recall.

Variant Length 45 char limit - Help

Friends,
Iam developing a program to download all variants from current environment which are to be uploaded on other environment. Im using RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS FM. Problem is : when I Extract I get only 45 length limit for the variable value on the selection screen. This issue is with RSPARAMS structure which holds only upto 45 chars.
Is there any other way to download and upload variants other than above FM. Like for downloading program we use READ REPORT....anything as such (internal commands) exists for variants too....???????
If any of you have faced this issue, please do pour in your valuable inputs.
thanks

Rob,
Seems you might be thinking that my requirement is little wierd......lemme explain you in detail.
We are moving from a Windows system to a Unix based as part of Upgrade. Because of this I have to change all the variants from
P06XXXX\VAROPT\ to /var/opt/ps1/ and we are expecting variant file path's to have more than 45 characters but when its changed to Unix path for sure max chars would be 43 (below our 45 limit).
My approach for this is :
1) Use the code in OSS Note to download all variants from Windows box and upload in new Unix box (paths would still be
P06XXXX\VAROPT\ ).
2) Once all variants all loaded in their old format, I would now extract the selection screen strucutre (using FM), I could use FM to extract values also but again 45 char limit is haunting.
3) Loop at the structure and IMPORT each variable. change variable content to Unix form and upload them using FM (RS_VARIANT_VALUE_CHANGE or similar).
Now my problem : I am not able to use IMPORT statement in a LOOP.
i.e.
LOOP AT OBJECTS.
IMPORT objects-name TO T_VAR FROM DATABASE VARI(VA) ID ST_KEY.
ENDLOOP.
Please help with this....
thanks

How to Map XML Summary comments/tags from OpenScript into OTM through Java

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a possibility of copying the XML Summary comments/tags of a test case method in Openscript as test action and expected results of a test case in OTM
The goal/reason is have to all the test case steps/actions and expected results and the corresponding automation code at one place so that maintenance is easy.
Something like a testcase method below from openscript
<Summary>
<testproperties>
<testcaseTiltle =" Automation of Expense Bill ">
</testcaseTitle>
<testcaseId>
</testcaseId>
<testAction>
Click Menu -> Main Menu -> Expense
</test action>
<expectedResult>
Expense form should be opened successfully
</expectedResult>
<testAction>
Enter the Expense Amount and Date
Click Save
</testAction>
<expectedResult>
Expense for a given date should be submitted successfully
</expectedResult>
</testproperties>
</Summary>
{{@TestCaseMethod}}
public void submitExpense()
....... automation code......
}

Did you find a way?? I need to do the same thing!!

!-- comment tag not working correctly - specific to one file

Today I started a new DW project. A couple hours into it, I notice that all my commented out information wasn't being distinguished in the code coloring. Is there some sort of a toggle that turns that off an on?
I've explored the prefs but found nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
PflipX

Have you got the closing tag in your comment? the general format is like this:

Put the above code in your document that has a problem and see if it works. Use this trick:
Insert a comment at the insertion point
Select Insert > Comment.In Code view, a comment tag is inserted and the insertion point is placed in the middle of the tag. Type your comment.
In Design view, the Comment dialog box appears. Enter the comment and click OK.
Good luck.

[Solved] Simple way to edit id3v2 comment tag in python?

I'm working on a project right now that is going to read the id3v2 comment tag from an MP3 file, parse some things from it, and then append some text to the end.
Right now I'm using id3v2 from extra to do this:
comm = commands.getoutput( "id3info '%s' | grep '(Comments): ()'" % fileName )
Then I use this to put it back:
os.system( "id3tag -c \"%s\" '%s'" % (commNew, fileName) )
I really don't want to rely on this package to insert this comment. I've been looking at eyeD3 and mutagen for a better way to do this, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
I know there has to be a more elegant solution out there. Any ideas?
Last edited by ltpl4y3r (2009-04-05 05:00:52)

Thanks Zariel, I had looked at mutagen before, but had never been able to edit the COMM tag properly. After toying with it and dissecting mid3v2. I was able to come up with the following:
import mutagen.id3
filename = 'File.mp3'
id3 = mutagen.id3.ID3(filename)
frame = mutagen.id3.COMM(encoding=3, lang='XXX', desc=u'', text=[u'Great comment!'])
id3.add(frame)
id3.save()
Adding [Solved] tag...

Updating Comment Tag does not update file metadata

Hi,
If anyone has the answer to this question i'd really appreciate it. I've been through all my songs in ITunes 8 (8.0.0.35)and removed all the comments in the 'Comment' column. However when you view the details in Windows (right click on the file, select properties, then choose summary) the comments still exist.
Note: updating the artist, album, title, genre etc seems to update ok.
I've tried upating the ID3 tag version to version 2.4 on a couple of tracks and this didn't solve the problem.
Thanks

I'm using the same version (8.0.0.35) and I'm running into the same problem. I have the feeling that the comment tag is the only one with this problem.
Before this version, I could change the comment in iTunes (and see it reflected in WinAmp/Windows Explorer) or change it in WinAmp (and iTunes would reflect the changes).
Now this is not true anymore. *Is iTunes using a new version of IDv2 ?* Not supported by other apps ?
This is a major problem for me. I just lost 100s of comments, and even if I put them back who do I know this won't happen again ?
Anybody ?

COMMENT tag not compliant with HTML 4.01 Strict

Hello all,
I'm trying to make one of my JSP pages (or rather, the output that it generates) compliant with the W3C HTML 4.01 Strict standard. However, my applet tag:

                       <jsp:param name="dept" value = "<%= dept %>" />
                       <jsp:param name="username" value = "<%= username %>" />
                       <jsp:param name="email" value = "<%= email %>" />
                       <jsp:param name="role" value = "<%= role %>" />
                  </jsp:params>

</NOEMBED>
</COMMENT>
</OBJECT>When I run it through the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/), it comes up with "element 'COMMENT' undefined." From some brief research, there is indeed no COMMENT tag in existence. Is there any way in the settings to tell the Apache Tomcat server I'm using to NOT generate these troublesome tags? Or is there something in my JSP code I have to add/remove to do this?

Of course. The solution was painfully obvious: don't use the JSP tags but use the generated HTML. Then cut out the COMMENT and UNEMBED tags. Duh. Sorry about that.

Getting MP3 comments tag to show in iTunes

Hi
It seems when writing an MP3 Comment tag that iTunes needs the language to be specified with the correct three character code, or else left unused.
However Windows which I am also trying to support requires the language of the comment to be specified moreover the comment won't be visible
unless the specified language matches with the language Windows is running in. The solution for that is to define the language of the comment as xxx.
That means a messy solution is needed of writing two comments frames. Why I am asking here is to find out if iTunes accepts any three character codes for unspecified languge and if it could support xxx so that developers would not have to choose whether to support Windows or iTunes.

I can drag it to a playlist,
If it gets added to this playlist, it is in iTunes library.
Select it in iTunes, right click - Show in Finder to see where it is on your HD.
If it is not in the location shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced. make sure *Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library* is ticked.
Spotlight shows it residing in my Music Library,
What do you mean you *Music library*? There is no folder named *Music library*.

CSS Comment Tags in Menu Tab?

Is there a way to add CSS comment tags to my FAVORITES menu
tab? Whenever I want to add comments to an external CSS document, I
have to manually type /*...*/. It would be great if there was a
comment button for CSS, like there is for HTML, so I could just
select the text I want to comment out, click a button, and it
automatically wraps the CSS in comment tags.

There is. It's on the Code toolbar.
