Searching metadata added in a Custom Panel

Hello,
I have created a Custom Panel. Only problem is that when I try to do a search through the File Browser, it does not seem to search any of the data I entered into the custom fields.
Any thoughts?
thanks!
-Alicia

Yes, I can see all the data values. They are under the Advanced > XMP Core Properties. I have the fields of EventName, EventDate, People, BuildingLocation. All the data shows in the advanced tab, and if I export the data. But in the file browser, even if I select "Other Metadata" in the search field, it won't pull up any images in the search results.
If there was something wrong with how I wrote the custom panel (which is possible since I really don't have experience in that sort of thing) then it would have even showed up in the advanced tab, right?

Get/Set metadata set by XMP Custom Panels in InDesign CS

I am using XMP Custom Panels to set metadata unique to my application in InDesign CS. That works well. I would like to be able to retrieve or modify those properties with a script.
Can you identify the object that would contain the metadata set by XMP Custom Panels and the properties or methods I would use to access them?

Thanks for the confirmation. This is a serious and surprising limitation. And if Bridge isn't going to handle complex types properly, it should at least not go ahead and stick invalid data in the field, as it does now.
I guess the only way to update complex types is to use a metadata template, or another tool.

Use of XMP Custom Panel to automate insertion of metadata into PDF file.

I'm new to the world of XMP so please bear with me.
I'm exploring ways of automating the insertion of metadata into PDF files, either at the time of creation, or through a batch process. The metadata values for a given set of documents would be static, so these could be "hard coded" into the mechanism use to insert the metadata.
Would an XMP Custom Panel be something I could use to achieve this goal. If so, can you please provide some details on how to go about doing this.
Thanks in advance.

Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

Adding custom panels to Business Process Workspace

Hi,
is it possible to add a custom panel to the Business Process Workspace? By custom I mean a jsp/jsf/jsff/taskflow/etc that i design.
Is that possible. And if yes can somenoe point me to documentation or exemples?
Thanks in advance,
Diogo Henriques

Hi Ruben,
thanks for your response, but i'm still having problems.
First the workspace.properties didn't have that property, so i tried adding it but the workspace stop responding só I had to revert the alteration (on a side note, I altered the file in the .ear on the server and then updated the .ear through the deployments list, is there other way to alter it like a properties page?).
While looking for a solution to my problem I started seeing references to Oracle Webcenter and Process Spaces. Do I have to install them to be able to do the kind of costumizations I want?
Thanks,
Diogo Henriques

How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

Hi Everyone
My name is Daté.
I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
The main idea is to (Theory) :
create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
Here is the process :
I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
The panel appears empty
The others panel are also empty
The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Daté

Hi Sunil,
After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
METHOD 1 :
I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
The plugin install an XMP project
In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
I try this way several times, with no good results.
METHOD 2 :
I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
The second method seems to be the right way.
For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is :
A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Best Regards
Daté

Some comments on Adobe 'Custom Panels for XMP File Info' document

In developing a couple of Photoshop/Bridge custom metadata panels for cataloguing my photo collection, I noticed one or two things that look like possible errors in the above document. These comments relate to the version of the document dated April 2005.
P10, description of 'cat_container_edit_text' widget type: surely this should also list custom variable 'container_type', which is needed to specify whether the metadata array is a bag, seq or whatever.
P25, details of 'cat_container_edit_text': same comment applies.
P8 et seq: the requirements for use of the 'name' variable appear contradictory. The summary descriptions of various widgets such as 'edit_text' contain the statement that 'You must provide name, xmp_namespace and xmp_path values for this widget to supply a dynamic
value', but the description of 'name' on P16 says that it 'Applies only to fixed-text widgets. Do not use this variable to change the value or text of the widget at run time.'

Joe, here is the Adobe link that I could not find yesterday when I put up the link to the (suspect) archive site:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xmp/sdk/topic_cust_file_info_panels.html
I have not looked into these panels for years and I am not sure what has changed in CS4.
Yes, the free software mentioned previously was limited in the amount of fields, however correct me if I am wrong - the output was just XMP text data and one could simply open it in a text editor and copy/paste/edit extra fields and resave, as the limitation was with the GUI frontend and not with XMP.
Obviously the computer reading the file needs the custom info panel installed to see the panel in it's full glory, otherwise the metadata is "hidden" away in one of the other metadata listings (I can't remember where). I also had problems picking up the custom metadata when searching via catalogue applications that could read other common metadata such as IPTC.
It was a bit of a mixed bag if I recall, showing promise however it was not really ready for the average user to use.
Anyway, it sounds as if my very limited knowlege on this area is being exhausted...
While on the topic, some other links that may help:

Content By Search Web Part and the Hover Panel

Hi
I have an Office 365 E3 account.
I have a Content By Search Webpart which I have added to a home page.
I have a display template that displays the results and should show the Search hover panel just like in SharePoint Search Results.
However, it does not unless the CSWP is near the bottom of the screen.
I have used the IE11 debugger and I can see the hover panel code being called when the mouse enters the CSWP area, but it only works (and doers not stay visible very long) if the CSWP web part is at the bottom of the screen.
This only works when the CSWP is at the bottom of the screen. It does not work when the CSWP is further up the screen.
Am I doing something wrong.
(This works perfectly using on-premise SharePoint 2013 with SP1.)
Regards
Nigel
Nigel Price NJPEnterprises

Hi Nigel,
According to your description, my understanding is that the hover panel of your custom display template only works when the Content Search Web Part is at the page bottom.
For customizing hover panel on the Content Search Web Part using a Custom Display Template, you can refer to the blog:
http://www.cdhtalkstech.com/2013/11/19/5598/
I tested it in my SharePoint Online environment and the hover panel worked.
For more information, you can have a look at these articles:

How can I find my custom panel in CS5 using java script

-I made an empty panel using Adobe Configurator 2 and then exported it to /Panels folder.
-My custom panel is now in photoshop and works.
-I added a simple code to onPanelInit():
function onPanelInit()
    var myWindow = new Window ("dialog");
    var myMessage = myWindow.add ("statictext");
    myMessage.text = "Hello, world!";
    myWindow.show ( );
so far so good.
Now instead of creating a new window like I did above, I want to use the new custom panel and add a text to it.
The problem is, how do I do that in java? Where can I find the panel that I should assign the text to?
I know that you can add the text in Configurator, or you can edit the .xml file and add the button there, but my
plan is to create a panel where i can add and remove buttons dynamically and that's why I have to do that in java.
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Petri J

Use Runtime.exec() to run a OS specific command which retrieves OS specific info.
Or use JNI to access a OS specific API which returns the info you want.

Checkboxes in custom panels/boolean XMP properties

I have a large and expanding collection of photos, the majority of which are either (a) gig photos or (b) photos of railway signalling. The latter include a 'legacy' collection of some 2,000 35mm slides which I am slowly but steadily digitising using a film scanner. I make a lot of use of Adobe Photoshop CS2.
To assist in cataloguing my collections, I have created two custom XMP metadata panels, one for the gig photos and the other for the railway ones. I have installed both of these in the appropriate directory on my PC and they work very well, with the exception of the one small issue described below. Can anyone help me with that?
As I built up my railway slide collection, I adopted a system of numbering and categorising the slides which I have now incorporated into my custom panel and its underlying XMP extension schema. One of the properties within my system is a boolean setting, so I incorporated this as a check_box control within the custom panel for the railway photos.
What I am now finding, however, is that whenever I update the metadata of
any image on my PC, the default value of false is inserted for this property regardless of whether or not I have set any of the other properties defined in the custom railway photo metadata panel. I would prefer for this property to remain unset unless I specifically set it via the dialogue box. Is there anything I can do to achieve this?
For reference, the check box definition from my railway photo custom panel is:
check_box(name: '$$$/RailwayPhotos/item=Substitution ',
hotizontal: align_right, xmp_ns_prefix: 'RailPhoto',
xmp_namespace: 'http://www.roscalen.com/RailwayPhotos/1.0/',
xmp_path: 'substituted');
TIA
Adie

OK, this is what I have done.
The swf file is named generic.swf
I made a text doc and put this path in the text
C:\Users\Chyron\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\Athletes (US)\bin\
then saved it and renamed the .txt to .cfg and then created folders like you said above because they did not exist.
and put the file there.
C:\Users\chyron\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust
and still does not work

Custom panels 2.0

Hi
we have created a custom panel using flex which conforms to the version 2.0 standard, this is working fine in illustrator cs4, photoshop cs4, and indesign cs4. I also want to use this same panel in the full version of acrobat v9 but it appears that this is still using the old style panel as all previous versions of acrobat. Is there any thing I am missing or is there any solution to this? Why would adobe not bring all the apps up to the same level.
any help we be appreciated

Robert,
as you have noted, Acrobat 9 is still using the CS3 version of the FileInfo infrastructure. Therefore, custom panels need to be specifically added to support Acrobat. The goal is to get all Adobe applications use the same version and we're working with the teams to accomplish that. I cannot comment on a date on when this will happen.

Frank Biederich

Custom panels in CSC

Hi All,
Recently we migrated from ATG 9.1 to ATG 9.4, we had several custom panels created with ATG9.1 set up under the ServiceFrameworkRepository. While upgrading the ATG version we also upgraded the underlying database from Oracle 10g to 11g, all the data was copied over to the new storage where we are running 11g and it was ensured that catalogs. core and agent all the schema were copied over.
Upon bringing up the application we found out that all the custom panels were gone, we could not even locate the objects in the ServiceFrameWorkRepository and underlying versioned tables (e.g. svc_frmwrk_object) where we store all the metadata related to panels, stacks, tabs etc. However all the panels etc served OOB by ATG remained there.
Anyone who has faced similar issue while doing ATG upgrade can help here?
Thanks,
Rohit

Searching metadata?

I am currently using Bridge as my photo management software. Until recently, it was sufficient in terms of keeping track of my photos, but now we're exploding at the seams and need access from several terminals. However, the most important part of Bridge, for us, was utilizing the metadata tags and being able to search with metadata tags.
Is there a way to do this in the Creative Cloud currently? Ultimately, my company needs to be able to access all our stock photos from several places and multiple users. Creative Cloud is the best match for being able to take care of all our needs, but we're missing one crucial part. We could edit descriptions and add the information we're missing, but redudency is something we're trying to avoid.
Thanks!

Is this a feature that could be added sometime in the future? I think Creative Cloud is incredible, but I am really wishing searching metadata was possible.

How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?

I have iTunes 12.0.1 on my Windows PC. I'm about to get a new iMac (hooray!) and I'm beginning the process of transferring everything on my PC to my Mac. I've got all the documents, pictures, files, etc. covered, but now I have to make a copy of all of my music.
Most of the music in my iTunes library is not bought through the iTunes Store (I download most of my songs from the Internet). Then, after saving the downloaded song to my computer, I go into iTunes on my computer and add the song. I also add metadata like artist, album, genre, album artwork, etc. to the song in iTunes. What concerns me is that only the songs in iTunes have this metadata: the original downloaded files I saved onto my computer don't have any metadata.
I really don't want to have to go through the long and tedious process of adding artist/album names, genre, etc. to every single song in my iTunes library on my new iMac. How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?
Thank you so much for any help!

Hello! I'd like to learn more about Home Sharing. To do this, would both my PC (which I hope to get rid of) and my new iMac need to be plugged in?
Also, after Home Sharing with the old PC is initiated, I understand that all my songs would appear on my iMac. Is there a way to copy all of these (with album artwork, name, artist, etc.) directly to the iMac's hard drive and then disconnect home sharing so I can get rid of my PC?
Thank you!
