Object name to Version name

We have been shooting a couple hundred product shots and populating the 'Object Name' field in the metadata. I want to export the images with the filename matching the Object Name but it is not an option as a metadata field in export.
Can I batch copy the 'Object Name' field into 'Version Name' so then it can be exported to the file name.?

This should get you started. It will set the version name to the IPTC object name if it is filled in.
tell application "Aperture"
set zSelection to selection
repeat with zImageVersion in zSelection
tell zImageVersion
if exists IPTC tag "ObjectName" then
set zName to value of IPTC tag "ObjectName"
set name to zName
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell

Using Project Name in Version Name on import?

I'm just testing Aperture and I'm confused about the options available for renaming raw files on import.
Currently testing a setup like this using:
(Folder)2008
..(Folder)January
....(Project)Job1
....(Project)Job2
When I import files from my CF card I would like to rename the files using a format like this: YYYYMMDDProjectNameUniqueIDfromCamera. So a raw file from my 5D named MG4380.CR2 would be renamed 20080215Job14380.CR2.
Unfortunately, when I go to the Version Name options when importing I don't see the option to place the "Project Name" variable in the filename. This seems strange to me, especially since it is available in the Subfolders options.
Any advice or do I need to drastically change my current filenaming system if I want to use Aperture?
Thanks very much,
Andrew

I know what you're saying Ian, and I appreciate your help, but Master File uses the whole filename and I just want to retain the unique number created by the camera. This is what most other applications I've used like Photo Mechanic, Image Ingestor and Downloader Pro do, so I kind of expect it now.
When I was talking about retyping data, I meant that when I create a Project Name I have to enter the info manually (including the job date if I want to use that), and then when I rename the files I'm importing I have to re-type the same info again because I can't use the project name in the file name. So in the Project Name I have to enter the date manually, but when renaming the files it can pull the date from the camera exif data. So that's one place you could end up with a mismatch from a typo. Any then when I'm entering the jobname manually more than once there is another place to make a typo.
This may sound overly anal and I can assure you that I'm not a complete, ham-fisted illiterate prone to typing mistakes, but I have certainly made mistakes in the past that caused files to be place somewhere I didn't expect them to be.
In my perfect world I would be able to click "import" and then create a new project using a custom job name, but a date that is pulled from the camera exif like this YYYYMMDD_JobName, and then the images would be imported into a folder of the same name and renamed as YYYYMMDDJobNameUniqueID.
So I would only have to type the job name once, I would never have to manually type the job date, and my projects would automatically be sorted chronologically.
It seems very simple and makes sense to me, but maybe I'm weird
Cheers,
Andrew

File name and Version name corruption

In a section of my library, if I click on a thumbnail, it opens with a different photo than the thumbnail and the thumbnail then changes to this other photo. The Metadata indicates that the file name is referencing the surprise photo and the version is referencing the original photo. Since all my files are referenced, if I Show in the Finder, the reference is to the surprise photo. This appears to be just in my 2006 year folder of photos (3500) but seems to have occurred randomly throughout that year. It is really a mess.
fyi, my photos are organized with folders for each year and then projects and subfolders for the various events. Total library is about 65,000 photos. All are referenced.
Any clue as to what is happening and how to correct it would be appreciated.
thanks, gib

My masters are on a Drobo drive that is only 1/2 full. I talked with Apple today but the support person was not able to determine the issue. He thought the Drobo could be an issue, although his experience was more with slower response time. (I am very pleased with the Drobo.) He suggested that I trash the offending projects, setup new ones and re-import the masters. Ok but lose metadata and adjustments but may be the next step to take.

Import iPhoto Title as Aperture Version Name?

QUESTION: How do you import your iPhoto library such that the Titles you've applied in iPhoto become the Version Names in Aperture?
DETAILS: Upon import, Aperture ignores my custom iPhoto Titles ("Lunch at Summit", for example) and replaces them with the original file name (DSCF2966, for example). I hate looking at a screen full of DSCxxxxx names. Worse, I've spent a lot of time titling my pictures in iPhoto. I don't want to lose that work.
BACKGROUND: In iPhoto, I typically Batch Change a just-imported set of photos, setting the Title to nothing. Then I give meaningful names to pictures that I care about titling. This way, I reduce visual clutter on the photo display; any title text I see is there because I typed it in. When I try this trick in Aperture, it displays "<untitled>" for any pictures I remove the camera's DSCxxxxx from.
QUESTION 2: Is it a bad idea to get rid of the camera DSCxxxx Version Names?
I've experimented with the Import settings, searched these forums, the web, and the Aperture help files, to no avail.
Thanks!
David Long

Kirby, thanks for your helpful response. I just experimented with the Version Name field in the iPhoto import dialog and found that setting Version Name to Version Name in the
File-->Import-->iPhoto Library...
import dialog still does not preserve the Titles from iPhoto.
However, using
File-->Import-->Show iPhoto Browser...
DOES preserve the iPhoto Titles. Unfortunately, this method loses much of the Places information in the iPhoto library. I describe which Places info gets lost in this forum post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11229662#11229662
So, this leaves us with a conundrum:
-If we use the "Show iPhoto Browser..." method to import, we retain our Titles but lose our Faces and Places data.
-If we use the "Import-->iPhoto Library..." method, we retain [most of] our Places and Faces data, but completely lose our Titles from iPhoto.
Either way, we lose some of the metadata work we put into our iPhoto library.
Anybody know a solution to this problem?

Logical Name and Physical Name of OWB Objects?

Hi,
I am using OWB 10G R1. Version: 10.0.1.0.4
I would like to know, is there any table/script to get list of physical name and logical name of OWB objects (mapping / process flow).
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

Hi,
I only have a skript for OWB 10.2.0.3, maybe it will work with 10gR1 as well:
SELECT object_type,
       object_name,
       logical_name,
       object_path
FROM (SELECT owm_view_utilities.classified_obj_type2(f.elementid, f.classname) AS object_type,
               f.NAME AS object_name,
               f.logicalname as logical_name,
               sys_connect_by_path(f.NAME, '/') as object_path
          FROM firstclassobject_v f
         WHERE 1 = 1
        CONNECT BY f.owningfolder = PRIOR f.elementid
         START WITH f.NAME = 'MY_PROJECT')
WHERE object_type IN ('Process', 'TransformMap')
ORDER BY object_type,
          object_name
;Just replace 'MY_PROJECT' with your project name.

Find product name and version using JNDI

Is there any consistent way to find the directory servers product name and version using JNDI. Our software is being used with iPlanet 5.1 and SunOne Directory Server and I need to distinguish between them. Currently I use some code (see below) to look for an object under o=Netscape root branch. But the object I am looking for is apparently (so my sys admin tells me) created as part of the administration server install.
public static String[] getNetscapeFamilyDirectoryServerDetails(String ldapHost, int ldapPort, String principalDN, String principalPassword) throws NamingException {
try {
NamingEnumeration result = performLdapQuery("ldap://" + ldapHost + ":" + ldapPort,"o=NetscapeRoot?nsproductname,nsproductversion?sub?(&(objectclass=nsApplication)(cn~=Directory))",principalDN,principalPassword);
if (result.hasMore()) {
SearchResult sr = (SearchResult)result.next();
Attribute attribute = sr.getAttributes().get("nsproductname");
String productName = (String)attribute.get();
attribute = sr.getAttributes().get("nsproductversion");
String productVersion = (String)attribute.get();
return new String[]{productName,productVersion};
catch (Exception e) {
if (e instanceof NamingException) {
throw (NamingException)e;
return null;
}

SELECT i.instance_name, i.host_name, f.release_name RELEASE, i.version, k.patch_level FROM
v$instance i, fnd_product_groups f, fnd_product_installations k WHERE
UPPER(SUBSTR(i.instance_name, 1, 4)) = UPPER(SUBSTR(f.applications_system_name, 1, 4)) AND
k.application_id = '200';

I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
Any suggestions?

I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.

How to find Mobile device OS name and version using Flex?

is there anyway to get device information like OS name and version using flex 4.5.1 or 4.6 SDK. i am developing a project in Flex which needs to identify the end user mobile platform like Android, iOS.. and its version like Android means 2.1,2.2,etc..
Anyone can help me on this?

I don't know that there is a proprietary driver. In fact, I'm sure there isn't because I never installed one. I figured there was some code file somewhere that dealt with keyboards. Yes, I have dealt with the developer, they say to tell Apple there is a problem. I have been putting it off and waiting to update since 10.6.3, so the problem is getting a little old. Do I even know there is a problem? I'm not sure what this means. I do know that when I update my operating system past 10.6.2 my keyboard no longer works, and I have to use a stock Apple keyboard to run a time machine reinstall. Why else would I be going through this?

I am encountering the same thing as I am trying to restore my iPhone. How to fix this? I tried repairing iTunes. Still having the issue.

RE: multiple named objects with the same name andinterface

David,
First I will start by saying that this can be done by using named anchored
objects and registering them yourself in the name service. There is
documentation on how to do this. And by default you will get most of the
behavior you desire. When you do a lookup in the name service (BindObject
method) it will first look in the local partition and see if there is a
local copy and give you that copy. By anchoring the object and manually
registering it in the name service you are programmatically creating your
own SO without defining it as such in the development environment. BTW in
response to your item number 1. This should be the case there as well. If
your "mobile" object is in the same partition where the service object he is
calling resides, you should get a handle to the local instance of the
service object.
Here is the catch, if you make a bind object call and there is no local copy
you will get a handle to a remote copy but you can not be sure which one!
It end ups as more or less a random selection. Off the top of my head and
without going to the doc, I am pretty sure that when you register an
anchored object you can not limit it's visibility to "User".

Subject: multiple named objects with the same name and interface
All,
More than once, I have wished that Forte allowed you to place named
objects with the same name in more than one partition. There are two
situations in which this seems desirable:
1) Objects that are not distributed, but are mobile (passed by value to
remote objects), cannot safely reference a Service Object unless it has
environment visibility, but this forces the overhead of a remote method
call when it might not otherwise be necessary. If it were possible to
place a copy of the same Service Object (with user visibility) in each
partition, the overhead of a remote method call could be avoided. This
would only be useful for a service object whose state could be safely
replicated.
2) My second scenario also involves mobile objects referencing a Service
Object, but this time I would like the behavior of the called Service
Object to differ with the partition from which it is called.
This could be accomplished by placing Service Objects with the same name
and the same interface in each partition, but varying the implementation
with the partition.
Does anyone have any thoughts about why this would be a good thing or a
bad thing?

Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, it only allows 9 spaces for my new name, even though Aperature 3 allows many more spaces than that for version names. This creates a lot of problems and headaches for me.

Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, Aperature 3 only recognizes the first 9 spaces for raw .NEF files, even though it easily uses twice that many spaces for version names. I have a system in place that works really well for me, wherein by changing the file name I can recognize what's important to me just by glancing at the file name, no matter what system it is in, I do not have to open or mouse over anything to know what the file is. My files also arrange themselves in order no matter what file system they are in. Can someone please tell me if there is a setting, or something I am doing wrong, that prevents me from using a longer Master file name. I can't be the only person who would like to have his Master File names correspond to the name that appears in the Aperature library, and would like to use at least 16 spaces (numbers, letters, etc.)
Thanks,

Hi Frank,
As you suggested, I am attaching several screen shots. In the first one you can see how I set up my preset. I used "Custom Name" and "Counter" with a dot between the two drag ins, followed by "D90". I also have a dot to seperate the 8 digits in the Custom Name and make it easier to read.
I then click "OK" which takes us to the second screen shot. Here you can see that in the Example File Name everything looks perfect, and you can see I have clicked on "Apply to Master Files".
In the third screen shot you can see that the version in my library did in fact change correctly. With the "mouse over" pop up screen you can see, however, that the Master File name was changed to "1933.1017.NEF". It failed to carry the "12D90" and if I go to where my masters are stored that is exactly what the name was changed to.
In the fourth screen shot I attempt to export the master. You can see how my "Version Name" is set up.
And finally on the 5th screen shot you see in the File Name Example the name "1933.1017.NEF" once again, which when I export the master is exactly how the name will appear. Since I will export more than one file at a time , a (1) and a (2) etc., will appear at the end of the names because all the files are being given the same "1933.1017.NEF" name.
I hope this reply does a better job of clarifying my problem. I am anxious to see if this is something I simply misunderstood, or if I am simply doing something wrong.
Thanks,
Photo Al

I have tried reloading the iTunes player but same thing happens after selecting it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
PS - A few things to try:
* After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
* Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
* Startup up machine with minimal software services.
* If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
* Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
* Check system event logs for any clues.
If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere - there is somewhere you haven't looked!
PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
