Retrieve "Description" metadata from image with XML

I'm trying to create an automated workflow for some of my newspaper pages. I've learned how to use XML to import text into different tags on the page, and images into tagged image boxes on the page. My question now is how to generate "Description" info that is located within the images metadata under "File Info." You see, our photographer saves his images as a jpg and adds the caption info under "description" before saving in Photoshop. I want to have this "description" meta data to import in one shot along with my headlines, text and images. Right now I have to manually "Generate a caption" or create a Live Caption." It seems to me like there must be a way to generate the "description" info into and existing text box underneath a photo.
See screen shot below for an example of where I am trying to generate the caption. I want to generate the text "An Overall of Village Greens Golf Club" when I import my XML file. I don't like using the "Live Caption" optin because if the text box isn't touching the image box, the info disappears. Is there an alternate way?
Thanks a lot!
-Steve

I am sorry, you will need to use the caption functionality. And yes, the caption's text frame has to touch the image or has to be in a group with the image, at least for live caption. But what is the problem here? If you need a distance of the text to the image set up an object style which has set up a text offset at the top and will bring the text in the wanted distance to the image.
That was answer to your question.
Another thing I see in your screen shoot is a very complicated layout. You could simplify a lot when you
use the span column function for the Headlines
use only one text frame
use an anchored frame, settings saved in object style for the photo on the left top
use only automatic hyphenation and use the user dictionary
avoid multiple spaces in any circumstance and use fix sized spaces in their place.
work with layers.

No Backup?
Simply put, you can't.
I won't rub salt into it anymore, but I guess you have just learned the importance of backing up your information.

[CS2, JS] Extracting Metadata from Images

I have to place about 100 images into a document and label them with metadata from the images (Description and author)
I'm happy just for the data to be pulled from the image and placed in a text frame over the image - i can reposition it later.
any suggestions on how to go about this - or where to start on a script to do it?

Look at Olav's script called LabelGraphics.jsx

Problems with extract metadata from Essbase with ODI 10.1.3.5.

Hello there, I have a really annoying problem. I have 2 dimensions in essbase v11 with a space on it, (Itens Financeiros and Centros Financeiros), and this is causing a problem when I try to extract the metadata from essbace to a table. the problem occurs some times in 3 - loading - ss_0 - begin essbase metadata extract and some times in 4 - loading ss_0 - extract metadata, but in this 2 steps the error is the same:
unknown member name [itens] in function [@idescendants]. I see in Johns blog someone sayng to add a '/"' in the front and at the end of the member filter criteria to allow ODI to parse the space as part of the member name. but I really don't understand this. Someone can helpme with this? Thanck you.

It doesn't matter, I am able to replicate with an older version of the essbase adaptor...
I take it this is the type of error you are receiving "com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: Extract operation failed : Cannot query members by specs. Analytic Server Error(1200497): Error parsing formula for [REGION DEFINITION"
If you download patch - Patch 8785893: ORACLE DATA INTEGRATOR 10.1.3.5.2_02 ONE-OFF PATCH
It is easy to install just a matter of copying a jar file over an existing one in the \oracledi\drivers directory.
It should resolve the issue.
Ok?
Cheers

I think this will be stored in TTEXT table but am not able to fetch using that.
Can anyone please help me out in this.
Thanks in Advance,

Modify LabelGraphics.js to extract other XMP metadata from images

This script works flawlessly. However, I would like to be able to extract other XMP metadata than just
//XMP description
        case 2:
            try{
                myLabel = myLink.linkXmp.description;
            catch(myError){
                myLabel = "No description available.";
            break;
        //XMP author
        case 3:
            try{
                myLabel = myLink.linkXmp.author
            catch(myError){
                myLabel = "No author available.";
I have developed a custom info panel (based on the generic one) with following "properties.xml":
<xmp_definitions xmlns:ui="http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/fileinfo/ui/">

        <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>

        <xmp_property name="Tekst_FR" category="external" label="$$$/Custom1/Property/TextInputML_Label=Tekst FR:" type="text" ui:multiLine="true" ui:height="100"/>
        <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>

        <xmp_property name="Tekst_VL" category="external" label="$$$/Custom2/Property/TextInputML_Label=Tekst VL:" type="text" ui:multiLine="true" ui:height="100"/>
        <ui:separator/>
    </xmp_schema>
    <xmp_schema prefix="custom3" namespace="http://my.custom3.namespace/" label="$$$/Custom3/Schema/Label=NEDERLANDS" description="$$$/Custom3/Schema/Description=This example panel contains most of the options available for the 'Generic Panel'.">
        <xmp_property name="Titel_NL" category="external" label="$$$/Custom3/Property/TextInputLabel=Titel NL:" type="text"/>

    </xmp_schema>
</xmp_definitions>
Now I would like to adapt the LabelGraphics.js to retrieve the information stored in the fields "Titel_FR", "Tekst_FR", "Titel_VL", "Tekst_VL", "Titel_NL", Text_NL". These fields contain fixed text that goes with the image and should be retrieved in several "goes".
Question 1: is this possible at all ?
Question 2: how to proceed ?

Metadata on urlRessource with xml ?

Hello,
I'd like to know if it's possible to add Metadata to an URLRessource but with a flashvars or configuration.xml instead of AS3 (I'm using SMP) ?
Best regards

The Strobe Media Playback documentation contains some good info on how to set Plugin resource metadata using flashvars but not content resource metadata. Here's how I do it:
var parameters =
{ id: "1"
, src: "http://example.com/resource.php"
, src_namespace: "http://www.example.com/exampleplugin/1.0"
, src_metadataKey: "metadataValue"
, streamType: "liveOrRecorded"
, plugin_ExamplePlugin: "http://example.com/ExamplePlugin.swf"
, autoPlay: "true"
, width: "640"
, height: "480"
, controlBarAutoHide: "false"
, controlBarPosition: "bottom"
, poster: "images/poster.png"
Where:
- src_namespace : the namespace you want SMP to use when it attaches the
metadata to the resource. Obviously, the plugin dictates this.
- src_metadataKey : the "metadataKey" is the actual key you want SMP to use
when it attaches the resource metadata.
For example this might be "src_authKey", the "src_" tells SMP that this is a
resource metadata key, it will use key of "authKey" to set the metadata.
- "metadataValue" : is the actual value of the key/value pair
representing resource metadata.

Can´t create new Version from Image with meta/adjustment?

I have some Images (.tiffs) which have Metadata/Adjustments but I can´t create a new Version from them.
Any idea what to do??
thanks appreciate your help!
r

'weeks of work'. that's far too much to just let go of. so...
(re-reading your original message...)
'capturing' means simply importing, right?
but you've made adjustments to the images after import?
and you've added keywords/IPTC/metadata to the images after import?
I'd try:
A. split the tiff project/s into smaller projects (100 images or so) if you haven't already done so. (this'll take a while because Aperture slows down significantly when master images are moved around)
B. export the projects.
C. delete the projects from inside Aperture. there should be none of your 'problematic' tiff images remaining in the library.
D. relaunch Aperture and rebuild the library.
E. import the projects one at a time, rebuilding the library after each import in case there is something in the project's data files that needs fixing.
F. try to do what you want to do with the images in the project.
if everything works ok, then import the next project and repeat steps E and F.

Image Document Service Connector: Can't retrieve metadata from jpeg image

I'm using SES 10.1.8.4 with the Image Document Service Connector.
I've entered some metadata IPTC in a buch of images (with picasa, for instance) and added a new file datasource combined with a new pipeline as explained in the Patch Set Readme (p7514463_101840_WINNT)
After indexing, I can't retrieve nothing of my images with a simple search.
Did anybody make tests with this new feature ?
Thank you in advance,
Patrick.

Ok, I havn't read all your code because it's quite a lot and I might have the answer for you already.
Maybe the problem is that your Nokia is still connected to your computer.
I had the same problem on my Nokia 6021. I installed my app through the Nokia PC Suite. And it showed all the devices, but it couldn't find any services on any of the devices. Which was strange because most devices have some standard services running. The problem was that after installing the app, the Nokia was still connected/paired with the PC. After deleting the pairing, services magically appeared.
I hope this solves your problem (more than six months after your post ;) ).

Powershell: How do I upload files with metadata from a manifest file?

I am using the script from this blog to try to upload files into SharePoint, using a manifest file to specify the metadata associated with each file. Right now, the script works, but is not populating
the metadata from the manifest (xml) file. When I write the $metadataManifest variable out to the console, I get the contents of my xml file, so the code is reading the file when it should. However when it gets to the line in bold ($metadataManifest.Columns.Column),
it does not go into that block...it just skips on to checkin the file. Again the $metadataManifest variable shows all the content in my xml manifest file. Here is what the script looks like...

Hi Spawn,
Name should not be a problem.. I will probably post you the entire code (I modified it to meet your goals for having multiple column xml nodes as well)
For the code snippet below:
a. In powershell all my changes will have ## prefixed comments

Problems loading images dynamically with XML

I am working with a project that was build by another
developer and I have been asked to modify it several ways. This is
an interactive map for a hotel brand where when you click on the
USA, you get a list of all the states, click a state and a list of
all the hotels in that state comes up, click a hotel, the hotel's
information is displayed. I understand the structure of the files,
how they make them work, though I couldn't build it myself.
The problem I am having is this. can't make the hotels'
photos load into the flash through the XML. I created a target
movie file that the image could load into but something is not
happening as far as loading the images. I don't know if the movie
clip that I created is the right way to go (it was made as an
object in the library that is exported via AS), or if I should
create one in the action script file that loads the XML data.
I looked at some tutorials about how to load images with XML
but those didn't get into the level of detail that I need for this
project.
I've attached some partial code to see if anyone can help me
work through this.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Jeremiah

I'm a noob at AS3 and trying to learn this XML stuff myself,
but i have been able to load pictures to the stage...this might
help you...my xml file photo section is similar to yours, only I
have it labeled as "href" instead of "source"...
var imageLoader:Loader;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xmldata/images.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event) :void {
xml = XML(event.target.data);
xmlList = xml.children();
for (var i:int = 0; i<xmlList.length(); i++) {
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList
.attribute("href")));
imageLoader.x = 0;
imageLoader.y = 0;
addChild(imageLoader);

XML Report completes with error due to REP-271504897: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.

We are in the middle of testing our R12 Upgrade. I am getting this error from the invoice XML-based report that we are using in R12. (based on log). Only for a specific invoice number that this error is appearing. The trace is not showing me anything. I don't know how to proceed on how to debug where the error is coming from and how to fix this. I found a patch 8339196 that shows exactly the same error number but however, I have to reproduce the error in another test instance before we apply the patch. I created exactly the same order and interface to AR and it doesnt generate an error. I even copied the order and interface to AR and it doesn't complete with error. It is only for this particular invoice that is having an issue and I need to get the root cause as to why. Please help. I appreciate what you all can contribute to identify and fix our issue. We have not faced this issue in R11i that we are maintaining right now for the same program which has been running for sometime. However, after the upgrade for this particular data that the user has created, it is throwing this error REP-271504897.

Hi,
Check on this note also : Purchasing Reports Fail When Changing Output To XML REP-0002 REP-271504897 REP-57054 (Doc ID 1452608.1)
If you cant reproduce the issue on other instance, apply the patch on the test instance and verify all the funcionality related to the patch works OK. Then move the patch to production. Or you can clone the prod environment to test the patch.

Adobe Form with XML interface cannot retrieve all data from SAP

hi all
I want to use the Adobe forms for the real estate module.
I had seen that adobe forms can have an interface with XML input and output as parameter.
In the interface type only the /DOCPARAMS an the DOCXML are INPUT parameters which are available.
No other INPUT parameter can be added to it.
When i try to retrieve the data in real estate there are some default function modules for retrieving the data from real estate.
But this function modules also are going to find out if the form which asks for this information has a IMPORT parameter
for the required data. For example, the SENDER data is retrieved, but before the default function module retrieve this data
the function module checks if the form has a INPUT parameter SENDER.
And that is not the case. And i cannot create the SENDER parameter to it, because this INTERFACE type does not allow it.
Does anybody know a solution herefore?
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Hi Bhaskar
It is a long time ago, almost 2 years.
I created my own custom development for calling the Adobe form. This custom development uses the correct function module interface with the IMPORT XML.
The XML which i sent as IMPORT PARAMETER to the form is also created by own custom development. Via the default XML class of SAP
So that was my solution
Kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen
