Rsync and Finder metadata

I just noticed that rsync is not updating my Finder metadata to the backup disk. Finder comments and window styles do not get transferred. Does anyone know anything about that? OSX 10.5 here.

You didn't post he rsync command you used.
Have you turned on -E?
-E --extended-attributes copy extended attributes, resource forks
See the manpage for more details about -E.

Cp and rsync cannot find system directory

Hello,
I am working on a script to copy a custom user profile over to the default. Part of the script uses rsync to copy the contents of the customized profile, named "profile" to the default profile located in: /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj. Each time I run the command interactively, it fails indicating "No such file or directory." I can browse to the directory in the Finder. I can navigate to the directory via the terminal. Why can't rsync find it? Here is the command:
rsync -av /Users/profile/* /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj
I tried a similar approach using "cp -R" instead of rsync and got a whole bunch of file not found error messages. Using the "cd" command to that same path also fails. I can step through each individual directory and arrive at English.lproj but I can't do it in one command. Any ideas where I am going wrong with my command?
Thanks
Jason

In a document library : group by view and manage metadata filter & Navigation problem

Hi all, I encounter a problem when configuring a document library using a group by view and in combination with the Managed Metadata filtering and
navigation :
- all the documents appear under my group by, even the ones that does not correspond
- In the other hand, the number in brackets shows the correct number of documents that should be shown
See screenshot below.
Did you already encounter that issue ? Is there a workaround ?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use a group by view and combine with the Managed Metadata filtering and navigation in a document library
to show the corresponding documents with the correct numbers in SharePoint 2013.
In my SharePoint 2013, I created a view which was group by two columns and combine with the Metadata Navigation Hierarchies and Key Filters some fields in a document
library. As a result, it showed only items matching the filter values.
So, I recommend that you can follow the steps to implement it in your environment.
Step1: Enable Metadata Navigation and Filtering:
Metadata Navigation and Filtering is a Site Feature that has to be activated for this to work.
And, the Metadata Navigation and Filtering feature is enabled by default on most sites.
If it is not enabled for your site, you can enable it on the Site Features pages for your site.
You must be a Site Owner or a Site Collection Administrator to enable Metadata Navigation and Filtering.
1. Go to “Site Settings” and click “Manage site features” under Site Actions.
2. Find “Metadata Navigation and Filtering” in the Features list and click “Activate”.
Step2:
Configure Metadata Navigation:
You must have a least the Manage Lists permission level to configure metadata navigation for a list or library.
1. Open the document library for which you want to configure metadata navigation.
2. Go to “Library Settings” of the document library and click “Metadata navigation settings” under “General Settings”.
3. In the Configure Navigation Hierarchies section, select the field or fields you want to display in the navigation hierarchy and then click “Add”.
4. By default, Folders are automatically displayed in the navigation hierarchy. If you do not want folders to display, select Folders, and then click Remove.
5. In the Configure Key Filters section, select the fields you want to add as Key Filters, and then click “Add”.
6. In the Configure automatic column indexing for this list, specify whether you want to automatically create indices on this list to increase the performance of the
queries that users will perform when they use the Navigation Hierarchy and Key Filter columns you've specified. It is recommended that you select the option “Automatically manage column indices on this list”.
7. Click “OK”.
Step3: Set a group by two columns by modifying view in the document library:
1. Go to the “LIBRARY” ribbon of the document library and click the “Modify view”.
2. Click the “Group By” and select up to two columns to determine what type of group and subgroup the items in the view will be displayed in.
3. Click “OK”.
Step4:
Go back to the document library, apply Navigation Hierarchies and Key Filters to do a test in your environment.
The result will like as below:
There is an article about how to apply Metadata Navigation Filtering in SharePoint 2013 for your reference.

Add GPS and keep Metadata

I use Lightroom 1.4.1 (WinXP) to import photos from my CF cards and then add GeoTag data later, without losing metadata. My process has a few steps and is as follows:
Note: Assumes photos are in Lightroom and may or may not have metadata. I have only tried this with Nikon raw .NEF files. Not sure how this will work for file formats that Lightroom embeds directly rather than using .xmp
1. In Lightroom select files you are going to GeoTag and in Metadata menu select Save Metadata to files. Since I am working with raw that has a proprietary file format it creates a .xmp sidecar file for each photo.
2. Probably a good idea to exit Lightroom, after it has finished writing Metadata.
3. GeoTag photos ( I use Microsoft Pro Photo Tool w/ Nikon Raw Codec installed to embed GPS in .NEF files, but expect other tools that embed GPS data into photo files will work fine.)
4. Change modify date/time stamp for each .xmp file. Need a utility (like File Renamer Basic, its free) that will change file modified time stamp of the .xmp files to current time. Seems Lightroom will not read file if it has the same date/time as when Lightroom wrote it. Without this step it seems it reads the raw files metadata and clears Lightrooms database of other metadata for that photo.
5. In Lightroom select files you GeoTagged and in Metadata menu select Read Metadata from files. Lightroom sees different date/time for both .raw and .xmp and so reads each back in.
6. Should now have GPS data for each photo along with its Lightroom created Metadata.

The NEF codec might be the only one that works with the Pro Photo Tools. The Canon CR2 codec appears to save the geotag info, but Lightroom won't recognize it when I import (either keeping the CR2 or converting to DNG).
The new Adobe DNG codec for WIC won't even allow the Pro Photo Tools to save the modified metadata. I get a very unspecific error, but can't find any sort of error log to get any additional details.

Export/import OWB (10.1 and PARIS) metadata problems

I am attempting to import an OWB 10.1–exported map into an OWB 10.2/PARIS repository .. this failed as follows from the Paris Design Center menu bar ...
Design – Import – Warehouse Builder Metadata and specify a previously exported OWB 10.1 map. I receive the following message … ”Metadata version is not compatible with you current repository version. Upgrading the file is required to import your metadata”
… Selecting ”UPGRADE” yields the following …
Upgrade started at Jul 25, 2006 12:02:05 PM
Preloading objects from release 9.2
Upgrading objects from release 9.2 to 10.0
Project "SIRR_DATA_CONVERSION"
"Error occurred importing from file "C:\MKS\ConfigurationMgmt\OWB\Unit Testing\Build 1.13\Client Account\OWBC_ALS_CLI_CLIENT\OWBC_ALS_CLI_CLIENT.mdl".

The log contained over 16000 lines of info associated with mapping parameter/mapping parameter properties/property values, groups and finally, before failing, mappingparameterconnection --> mappingparameterconnection .. I can email the log if anybody is interested in taking a look.
Two things with error above .. I do not have a 9.2 map (seems the upgrade is assuming a 9.2 map) but a 10.1 map .. and the error message seems to be truncated after ”Please contact”
any advice on importing OWB 10.1 metadata(maps) into OWB PARIS ? as I am trying to create business case for upgrading from OWB 10.1 to PARIS.

There is a similar issue logged in our Support database relating to this type of problem. The bug (ref number 5309802) has some workarounds relating to issues within an MDL file relating to non-unique IDs and blank properties for certain objects.
The log file should tell you exactly where the problem objects are located, row and column reference. If you could open a TAR with Oracle Support and send them the log file and the associated MDL file they should be able to organize a fix for you.
If you want to try this yourself then make a backup of the MDL file. Next open the MDL file using Winzip and extract the two files within the MDL file. The larger of the two files is in fact an XML file. Open this file in a text editor that shows line and column numbers. Now refer back to the log file and find the error messages from that file and cross reference row/column numbers within the XML file and see if the error makes sense to you. If it does, correct the error and then rezip everything back into an MDL file and try importing the MDL file again.
Alternatively you may want to leave this to Oracle Support to manage for you.
Hope this helps

Working with folders and save metadata to file compatability.

when i edit in developer within lightroom, then move from the 'previous import' list to the folders which hold different projects by dragging them into the folders i have imported from the hard disk, it saves only the original files, and not my new edits.
do i have to batch export everything i edit in lightroom to be able to use it in non adobe applications??
i tried save metadata to file for these images, and then in finder they are no longer available for quickview (spacebar or command y) and finder quits. futhermore when these files, with the updated metadata, are dropped into an iwork file, they are not recognised as jpeg's anymore. but do work in photoshop, and i assume other adobe applications because the embedded metadata was designed to be compatible with adobe.
how can i have the 'develop' editing i am doing in lightroom transfer to the folders i want to have these images saved in without laboriously exporting them and having saved each image twice? does lightroom have a way i can do this?

If you're largely preparing images for the web, you simply export a batch from LR at the appropriate size and quality, in sRGB space, with or without metadata as you choose. Nothing laborious about it.
Are you starting with JPEGs or RAW images?
The bug in Leopard is known, but you also cannot expect the Finder to show what edits you have made in LR until the images are rendered out, as they are in an Export.

Aperture Metadata and Bridge Metadata

I am a photographer and my workflow is to import all my images into Aperture library and add metadata.
When exporting an image is it possible to integrate Apertures metadata with Bridge metadata? This is important feature as most people do not import images with Aperture. The issue is that many of the field names are different or non existent between the two programs. For example Location field in Bridge is Sub location in Aperture.
Can you add fields such contact info such as URL, email that are included within Bridge ITPC Metadata?
Is there a way to customize the metadata fields to work with CS3?

Unfortunatelly, not really.
I am currently using Nikon Transfer (latest version) to download the pictures from the camera. This software allows me to enter quite a number of IPTC data (including contact information, url, mail, phone, etc.), but maybe not all which are available in CS3.
Then I do import the pictures from the folder into Aperture where I only add contact information in the respective IPTC field. From the tests, I did I do know, that with this step I am using the "old IPTC standard" with Aperture and the new IPTC standard with Nikon Transfer. Clearly the newer is better and meets the needs you described.
In Aperture, I do only see the IPTC data fields, which are common between the two standards (copyright, keywords and description).
When I go to CS3 Bridge, I can see the IPTC data from both, but only of you turn on the "IPTC old" in the Photoshop Bridge settings.
This is how far I have come. I have tested the export with the original and the aperture work copy. As a test reader/viewer of the pics I used Photoshop Elements 5.0 ... but except the copyright information, key words and description, I could not find "my" IPTC data. So there was no contact info. This may be a problem of the old version, so I also checked on a windows PC the file properties (picture viewer), which has more or less the same information.
So the only work around maybe to add contact information into the copyright field - which is not ideal.

Appending Keywords and other metadata to the masterfile

I can't find an answer to the question:
How do I append Keywords and other metadata I added in Aperture to the masterfile without exporting?
I need that to import all that metadata of the masterfiles in a Portfolio database.

I guess you will need a new copy of the RAW to import into Portfoilio. That's really the only way to get Aperture to make the XMP file that contains the keywords. There is a program called Annoture which can convert Aperture metadata into metadata for the program iView Media Pro. No one has made a program to get metadata directly into Portfolio. Aperture wpn't "embed" the keywords in a RAW file because it will not alter the original. Maybe someday Aperture will create DNG files.

Spotlight and finder not working after Yosemite upgrade

Hi,
I just upgrade to 10.10.1 from 10.8 on a Mid 2012 Retina macbook pro, 2.7Ghz i7, 16GB RAM, 750GB SSD drive.
Since upgrading spotlight and finder have stopped working. When I first upgraded I noticed it worked very briefly and found some of my applications, but now nothing. The only thing it does is find the definition of the word I am searching for,
I have
gone in to sys pref > spotlight added and remove all folders and rebooted the machine
gone in to sys pref > spotlight > privacy tab and ensured no folders are in that pane
gone in to sys pref > spotlight > privacy tab and added "documents folder" closed sys prefs rebooted and then removed "documents" folder to try and trigger a re index
gone to terminal and typed "sudo mdutil -E /" which should erase and rebuild the index but i get the error back "Error: Index is already changing state. Please try again in a moment"
gone to terminal and typed "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist" and then typed "sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist"
go to disk utility and verified my disk which comes back as showing no errors
logged in as another user but spotlight and finder still not working
Any other ideas my laptop is useless for work if I can't find anything,
Thanks

unfortunately I this is still not working, thanks for the link Eric i tried those options, but still the problem remains.
I can clear the cache and re index my mac, and while the system is re indexing spotlight works and I can find material during the reindex. This is obviously limited to the files that have been indexed at the point of using spotlight.
Once indexing has finished if I go to spotlight and try to search for anything, there are no results only the dictionary appears.
At the moment I have to delete the index cache every morning to trigger a re index so I can work, this is terrible and the worst upgrade experience I have had with any OS mac or windows

Feature Request: save metadata to file, and read metadata from file.

Please have function to save metadata to file, and read metadata from file.
This would allow us to write cross-platform plugins that can assure data is up-to-date in the xmp, or modify xmp and have it reinstated in the catalog.
This would go nicely with the ability to save xmp for virtual copies, dng, and rgb formats.

Perhaps someone with direct experience with publishing to Smugmug will chime in. Short of that, some thoughts on your issues:
Should I not bother to "Save Metadata to File", this seems to be what is messing up the SmugMug publish service?
I very much doubt that it is messing up the publishing. What gets saved to the file from the catalog is independent of what gets exported. Saving metadata to the file is generally a good practice (in case you screw up your catalog backups). Many, perhaps most, users set the preference Catalog Settings > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.
I would have expected it to behave like an export which would write synonyms, exclude keywords that should be excluded, etc, which seems to work ok in point 6 above.
Yes, that's a reasonable expectation.
You may have done this already, but double-check: Right-click the Smugmug publishing service in the left-hand column of the Library, select Edit Settings, and in the Metadata section verify that you have Include: All Metadata set.
Did you download the Smugmug plugin from Smugmug? You might try this Smugmug plugin instead -- the author designed the publishing architecture of LR and has an excellent reputation.
Are the publish services more effort than they are worth? So I get SmugMug to work, what happens when I try Flickr?
I think many users find the publishing services are generally worthwhile. I publish regularly to Flickr (using the built-in Flickr plugin, which isn't completely reliable) and the Zenfolio plugin from Friedl.

Log and transfer metadata

Hi
I am ingesting into FSsvr using log and transfer. I am using the media metadata set with the addition of the FCP log and capture fields.
When I ingest clips i find that some of them (randomly it seems) do not appear to have the log and transfer metadata attached.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan

Hi
thanks for getting back to me.
No, the metadata is only being logged as i ingest the clip using log and transfer. I click the clip, log my data in and hit the button which adds the clip to the queue.
I have been working on a solution and the following seems to work:
-log and transfer all my clips adding the metadata as I go
-verify all the clips are in the project bin - save the project locally
-verify all clips are inside the newly created production in the FCserver catalogue - some will have viewable metadata others, for some reason, do not!
-drag and drop the FCP project into the production on FCserver, bring it in.
-double click the FCP project and double click an asset within it (these should be automatically associated by bringing in the FCP project which was saved after LandC)
-click on the 'final cut pro logging' tab - the Metadata should be here, even if it isnt viewable on the asset itself - i.e before it was catalogued relevant to the FCP project.
This isnt ideal, but its a kind of work around for the time being.
i'm going to look into mapping my own metadata.
Thanks
Dan

When i login to my account and it takes me to the desktop, the error sound plays, then the rainbow wheel appears, and finder immediately stops responding

It started yesterday when i was listening to itunes when all of a sudden the music stopped playing and i had to hold down the power button to shut it down and reboot, and then, when i logged back in, the error sound played, and then finder opened up, but the window was grayed out like i had another app selected, bu i didn't, so i tried to open up itunes and the icon started bouncing and then it stopped midbounce and i had to reboot again because finder wasnt responding. now when i log in, the error sound plays, and finder immediately stops working and then i have to reboot again because i cant click anything and i cant properly relaunch finder. please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Logical systems for modeldata and RFC metadata

Hi All,
I want to know how I can display the my own created logical system names under the drop-down menu when i have to select the logical system names for modeldata and rfc metadata. I don't want to them to be written instead i want them to be one of the options in the drop down menu, as we have them in the FLIGHT_LIST_INIT example found in the sample applications and examples.
Thanks in advance
Srikant

Hi,
While creating SLD for your R/3 systems give the desired name of wht u want instead of logical name.
For configuring the same refer the link below :-

Dock and finder bar problem

A game I play used to run in full screen mode as of last night. But when i got home tonight the game will not go into full screen. The dock and finder bar are still in view. Anyone know how to fix this?

Sounds like it's trying to perform a "safe boot" and failing. I'd try to boot from the install disk and repair disk from disk utility. If the DVD boots then memory is probably OK. If not, then try removing the memory.

I want to buy a hard case for my macbook pro, but I don't know what year it is. When I use the serial number to try and find out, all it says is, "~VIN,MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)". When I type that into amazon for a case it gives me nothing!
