Psedbtool, a utility for PSE 6 and 7 catalogs

Ive created a free utility, psedbtool, for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements (PSE) 6.0 and 7.0 (Windows only). With psedbtool you can:
- Detect problems with the locations of files recorded in PSEs catalog.
- Extract the catalog contents into text files readable by Excel and other tools.
- Write the metadata of cataloged photos and files more reliably than with PSE.
This helps you maintain your PSE catalog, work around PSE bugs, use third-party tools with your catalog, and migrate your files and metadata into other programs.
To download psedbtool, go to http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/.
This is the first version, so Im sure there are bugs and misfeatures. Please email bugs, suggestions, and feedback (click on my name above for my address).

I'm afraid I won't be doing a version for PSE 5 :-( The internal database schema for versions 5 and earlier is completely different. It's also a lot easier to poke in the version 5 database using Microsoft Access.

You just won't use a CATALOG database.

How can I get AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 to work with OS10.6?

I've upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS and now AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 won't run. Any suggestions on how to either run this utility or otherwise get access to my old Snow Dual Airport via another method? Airport Utility doesn't see the device, despite repeated scans. My computer and iPad connect no problem to the device, but both iPod and iPhone won't take and hold an IP address. (If any one can help me solve this issue, I can live without access the Airport.)
Thanks,

Unfortunately, you will need another Mac running a much earlier version of OS X to be able to install AirPort Admin Utility and make any settings chances to the router.
Since the normal life of a wireless router is around 5-6 years of use, now might be the time to consider a new router that will provide far better performance than the older Graphite/Snow AirPort.

Need AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow

hey there.....any help would be greatly appreciated.....
I ave passed along my graphite base station to my brother in law for his new iMac and it seems he needs the "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" to get it set up. The new "Airport Utility" doesn't seem to recognize it. Is the utility still available for download? I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Another option....is it possible to copy and paste the utility into my iDisk and have him download it from there?? Not sure it that will work??
Again...many thanks for any help anyone can offer!!!!!

AirPort Admin Utility, version 4.2, which works with Graphite and Snow base stations, can be found within the download of AirPort 4.2 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport42formacosx1033.html).
I tried it on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.4.10, with a Graphite base station, and it works fine, so far as I can tell.
I did not actually try to install AirPort 4.2 using the installer, because I was afraid of messing with my system when all I wanted was the utility. Here is how to get it:
- Download the disk image AirPortSW42.dmg from the Web page mentioned above. If the installer launches, quit the installer.
- Double-click the disk image to mount a volume named "AirPort 4.2 Update."
- Within the AirPort 4.2 Update window, ctrl-click on "AirPortSW.pkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents."
- Open the "Contents" folder.
- Double-click the "Archive.pax.gz" file, which causes an "Archive.pax" file and an "Archive" folder to be extracted to the desktop.
- Open the "Archive" folder, the "Applications" folder within it, and the "Utilities" folder within that.
- The AirPort Admin Utility is there. You can move it to Applications/Utilities and discard everything else that was downloaded.
Thanks to Tesserax (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5136389&#5136389) for recently explaining how to extract an AirPort utility from a download package.
Although I have never seen "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow," it probably was the same thing as AirPort Admin Utility, just renamed.

What are the PSE 8 default locations for photos and catalog files in Windows 7?

I can only find this information in the Knowlege Base for XP and Vista.
Thanks for help

The default locations for catalog folders on Wndows 7 is the same as on Vista:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/515/cpsid_51536.html
To find out where the current catalog folder is located, do Help > System Info.
The default locations for photos are under My Pictures on Windows 7, as compared to Pictures on Vista.

Truncated (shortened) descriptions for products and catalogs

Is there any sort of tag attributes for the product and catalog descriptions that shorten them like the ones for I believe it is blogs (or maybe web app items)?
For whichever it is, I believe the tag is something like {tag_description, 100} for it to spit out 100 characters of the description.

This was doing my head in. I do not understand why {tag_description} won't allow character length for products. I used javascript to alter the text and thought I'd post my solution in case others are stuck and maybe to prompt people to improve on it. I have just barely started to learn js so this is most likely not the best way to do this. It relies on the product description being in <p> tags and takes only the first paragraph of the description but could be modified to just alter the string length.
In the small product layout I placed the full description in a div with display:none; and id="{tag_name_nolink}" so that each product has a unique id.
Then I placed the below code where I want the short description to appear.
<script>
var desc = document.getElementById("{tag_name_nolink}");
var shortdesc = desc.getElementsByTagName("P")[0].innerHTML;
document.write(shortdesc);
</script>

Set JDK_HOME to the directory where you install your JDK (Java Development Kit).
So instance, I've install JDK1.1.8 on my

Canon c300 - Prelude or Canon XF Utility for Ingest?

Hey all, I've been scouring the net for advice on an upcoming shoot I'm DIT/Media Manager for, just to make sure that I got my workflow down pat. Problem is, I haven't really found reliable answers either way concerning the above question, so I thought I'd put it to the community to see what their response was.
Mainly, for ingest of c300 footage recorded to CF cards, what is your workflow to get the media into Premiere?
Do you
A)
Ingest card with Canon XF utility to multiple drives > Create new project with Premiere CC > use Media Browser to import your cards - > start cutting
OR
B)
Ingest card with Prelude CC to multiple drives -> Send to Premiere -> Start cutting.
Or some combination there of? Do any of you Transcode to ProRes or DNxHD?
My biggest concern is avoiding corrupting the data from the card. I know Prelude has a MD5 checksum, which is why i use it for pretty much everything else (not sure if XF utility does a bit by bit comparison). But I'm worried about the Spanning mutliple clips issues as this is a interview, multi camera shoot with long takes (see here -> http://forums.adobe.com/message/5045764#5045764)
Any other advice you have, or examples of your workflow would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
D
Oh and for reference, my system is:
2011 15" MBP i7 2.2 ghz
8 GB RAM
Mountain Lion 10.8.5
CC (and CS6 if it works better)

For me, XF Utility without any doubt since i don't want to transcode the footage.
I transfer the cards with Explorer or Finder and then point XF Utility to the footage to either delete clips and/or create vitrual cards and transfer the files from the card/s to new virtual cards for better file managament. If you use XF Utility to transfer the footage from the camera to a virtual card, it will work and spanned clips will work as expected, so it is not necessary to first transfer the card and it's whole content to the computer. I have used XF utility for years and know that it works with spanned footage and that one can use it to transfer let's say 10 clips from a card in the camera with 100 clips on it. Premiere Pro has no problems to import virtual cards created with XF Utility. Timecode and everything is still there.
Use both methods and decide which one is best for you. (ie XF Utility of Prelude)

Loggin Utility for JCAPS 6.0

Implementing Utility Logging for J CAPS 6.0 .
Actually I want to implement Log4j utility for BPEL and my query is how we can call java file from BPEL is there any way for that ?
I have mentioned sample data for the fileds which I want to use for logging purpose.
OUTPUT PARAMETER "TYPE(Mandatory/Optional/Conditional/Defaulted)" DATA TYPE DESCRIPTION
PID TRUE M String "Unique ID assigned to message/service call. Remains the same from source(customer) till target(application)
or vice versa or Application to Application(Can call it Master ID)"

This is a question that popped up in another thread on this forum.
I am curious why you need to develop a new logging utility for BPEL. Both BPEL 1.0 (eInsight) and BPEL 2.0 (BPEL SE) already provide you with the ability to construct and dispatch arbitrary logging messages at whatever severity is normally supported (FINEST, FINER, FINE, INFO, CONFIG, etc). How you set the loogin message varies between BPEL 1.0 and BPEL 2.0 tooling but the logging messages end up in the application server's server.log if the right logging capture level is set for the component (eInsight Engine and BPEL SE). The logging infrastructure, which underlies the Java CAPS 6 is java.util.logging-based. There may be an argument as to which is better, that or log4j but this is besides the point as java.util.logging is what is already there and log4j would have to be added. This logging framework is the same as that that can be used out of Java EE and other places in the Java CAPS 6 suite. There is even a way to filter and replicate selected logging entries to additional logs. The blog entry at http://blogs.sun.com/javacapsfieldtech/entry/java_caps_5_1_312 discusses how this can be done for Java CAPS 5.1. With a little bit of effort one should be able to adapt the method to Java CAPS 6.

Airport Utility for Airport Snow

After switching to Snow Leopard OS (10.6.2), I lost the capacity to configure my old Airport Snow base station. "Airport Utility 5.4.2" doesn't discover my base station and "Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5" doesn't run in Snow Leopard OS. BTW I'll like to keep this old base station working because its "dial-up" functionality, something I need in a remote farm with no DSL or cable services. Is it a way to configure an Airport Graphite or Snow using Snow Leopard?

HI,
Try posting in the Airport forum here.

"problem reading configuration" Bug in Admin for Graphite and Snow

Background: Bought a used "graphite" (M5757 SN PW9495EYH93) for a friend with only dial-up access. Downloaded Airport Admin for Graphite and Snow. System seemed to be operating fine - I could see it on WiFi and even connect. Of course I was missing some passwords, so I needed to get it back to default settings by doing a hard reset-"perform a local reload". Support article HT2439 provided instructions: I plugged in a wired connection.
But "Auto" address selection didn't seem to work - I kept getting "problem reading configuration" messages.
So I tried "Manual" for entering IP address and password.
OOPS! When selecting "manual" for setting the IP address, the IP address triplets entered were reversed when saved in the device. Or at least they display reversed in AirPort Admin, while other nearby AirPort addresses display correctly.
For instance, when I set the device to the Apple default address of 192.42.249.13, the address displayed in AirPort Admin was 13.249.42.192. This was reliably repeatable, and worked around by entering the desired triplets in reverse order. Once I inverted the triplets and got the IP address I expected into the AirPort, configuration proceeded smoothly.
This bug can lead to frustration finding and reconfiguring AirPort devices, communicating over ethernet (since of course the network address and subnet masks work perfectly, but not as expected) and displaying/changing configurations. I didn't spend more time investigating the boundaries of the problem after finding the work-around and getting this particular AirPort working, but the problem might be the cause of some of the other configuration issues that seem to crop up regularly.

Hello Dudlington. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The "Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" seems to be at version 4.2.5 for OS X and was released in April 2008, yet only supports the "dual ethernet" versions.
Not to worry, the "Dual Ethernet" and "Snow" actually refer to the same model. The 802.11b Snow is the predecessor to the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and followed the "Graphite."
