Sequence Creation Date
Is there a way to see the sequence creation or modification date on Premiere Pro?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but In my machine I can't see neither Creation or Modification Date for my sequences.
Is there something I have to change?
Thanks in Advance,

Reset sequence after data import
Hi all,
I've got a problem where we import data into a table with an auto-incremented field for a primary key. After the data import, I can drop the sequence, check the max(primary key), and re-create it to start at the max value + 1. My problem is that I need to do this for a large number of tables and don't know how to write a script to do it. In the Create Sequence command, whenever I try to use a variable in the "START WITH" clause, I get an error.
Thanks in advance,
RaymondSpool sequence creation scipt result in a file and then run it.
Or use dynamic sql.
Or You can "drive" sequence forward issuing select myseq.nextval from dual; apropriate times. If You need "drive" sequence backwards alter it with increment -1, issue select myseq.nextval from dual; apropriate times and alter it with previous increment. -
How to Export from iPhoto 6 with Creation Date
I frequently need to share photos with friends, by burning a CD of the images. But whenever I do this, the photos are labeled with the date of export instead of the creation date, so if the friend wants to view a slide show of the photos in sequence of time, they can't do it.
Is there a way, within the Mac, without plugins or additional software, to fix this, say an Automator action to change the file's date to the date/time the photo was made?
Thanks!Daver:
Do a Batch Change on those you're exporting using the Title to Date/Time (you can deselect the time later in the process. Then export the files to the desktop using the Use Title option. That will give you 12/2/06-1.jpg, etc. as the new file name.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar -
Incrementing creation date times to preserve sort
I've got bunches of scanned analog photos. The creation dates were the scan time, not when the photos were taken. And some are out of order.
I don't remember the exact times and dates, but I do recollect the sequence. And I can use a "user order" within LR.
But how do I preserve that order in the metadata in the files for use in other applications, etc? I can set a creation date, but it appears to be the same for all. How I could increment the date/time so that I'd end up with the same sequence when sorted by "capture time"?
RobJohn, your memory is better than mine. And some of the shots have an obvious sequence, but I don't even know the year (old old photos). Unfortunately with many the service that scanned them also tossed them like salad, and the frames on prints, which sometimes had month/date info, were cut off on the scans.
So arbitrarily adding dates could result in duplicates, but most importantly it may delude those I distribute the files to into thinking they are somehow valid dates. So I'll stick with the scan date and file renaming. Don't want somebody to see a picture of granny and wonder why she was looking so young when the picture was snapped.
I've been looking around, thinking there might be a convention for sets of photos and sequences, with perhaps a "x of y" type parameter which would indicate it was part of a set, since photos were commonly taken that way (I have old photos with names like "Roll 1 -3" for example), and since it might be a holdover from then, even when sequential filenames came into use. Even today with camera phones and such I still get lots of filename dups. Or perhaps it was useful when one is shooting sequences or bursts in sports. But I haven't found anything explicit yet. The IPTC extension "object title" might be suitable, since it's used for accession numbers. But not many applications would sort on that.
And aside from sequence, historical dates can be entered into the IPTC extension "date [object] created." But if the sequence matters, and you only know the year, it's still a problem.
So overall I think the file renaming is the way to go, with some keywords or descriptors in IPTC to indicate the name of the set. Like filename "1 of 42 Aunt Matilda's wedding." So even if the photos get moved around, separated, etc the new owner will be able to discern they're part of a set, and with access to metadata get even more info if the filenames somehow got borked.

Payment Program Creation Date and User (is this in any table in SAP R/3)?
Dear Experts!
The treasury guy asked me whether there would be a way to recover the "Payment Program" Creation Date and Created by (User) from Payment Program Executions (F110 transaction).
I searched on the REGU* tables and I didn't find out this information.
Does anybody know whether there is any table where this is recorded?
NOTE: We cannot use the information from "Proposal Log" because the log is removed from the Productive System and only the last 3 (three) days are remaining.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Daniel Carvalho.Hello "The Wirtschaftsmann",
Thanks for the reply. However, I need the Creation Date and Creation by of the Proposal / Payment Run steps.
Not sure if this information is available nowadays at SAP. I opened an incident with SAP, let's see what they reply to us.

Hi,
Can anyone tel me the table name for Plant Creation date .?
I searched in SDN but DBLOGTAB in my case has ZERO entries .Is thr any other way ?Hello,

How can I change the file creation date?
I recently downloaded more than 1,000 photos from my vacation. I'm preparing to burn DVDs for a friend, and I noticed that when I copy the photos to the desktop, they don't all have the same date. I have read a couple of discussions here about the difference between photo creation date and file creation date, and I understand the difference. But something seems odd to me.
For purposes of illustration, let's take two photos: "A" was taken with the camera in the landscape position (how one normally holds a point-and-shoot); "B" was taken with the camera held in the portrait position (rotated 90 degrees). The photos were taken on April 24, about three minutes apart, but not imported into iPhoto until May 19.
In iPhoto, both files show the actual creation date. Yay!
The problem is with the files after having been copied to the desktop.
When copied to the desktop, the info panel for photo "A" shows April 24 for both the "created" and "modified" dates. Photo "B," however, shows May 19 for the "created" and "modified" dates.
Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Is there any way to change this? I want the DVD to show the date the photo was created, not imported to iPhoto. Picky, I know … but I'm like that.Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Correct. Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it - email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
iPhoto has nothing to say about File dates. There are various file utilities that will edit the dates on Files
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11143/a-better-finder-attributes
for instance. But there are otheers, search on MacUpdate

Different creation dates on different computers
I downloaded the same photos from the same camera on the same day to my home and office computers, both into iPhoto. At home, the creation date is correct, but at work the date is wrong in every way including the year. I checked the system time and date, and that is correct. I ran TechTools pro, and found that there were other files with wrong modificatin dates, but otherwise no problems were detected. (the vast majority of file dates on my computer are correct.) We have two cameras at work, different Olympus models, and I have the same creation date problem with both of them when I download to my work computer, so I have to conclude that there is something wrong with this computer, but I can't for the life of me figure out what.
Cindy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are both computers running the same system and iPhoto versions? Are the date formats set the same on the two computers. They are set in the International pane?
First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. I doubt if that will do it but it's certainly won't hurt.
If you manually upload from the camera to the office computer before importing into iPhoto are the dates OK? Also try logging into another account on your office computer an trying an import into iPhoto from there. If it does import correctly then there's an issues with your primary account. It could be a bad or corrupt preference file other than iPhoto's. You can run Preferential Treatment (at VersionTracker.com) to find any obvious damaged files. Here's a method another user developed to look for incompatabilites:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Prefs folder (in its entirety) to the desktop. Start iPhoto. Determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up. Except for those items that are obviously not related, move the contents to the old Prefs folder on the desktop, replacing what had been there. When in doubt, move the item. The worst thing that can happen is a harmless "alert" message. Then, trash what remains of the new folder. Finally, move the old (but modified) Prefs folder back to the library.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the old one back to its original location.
If none of the preveious works, a reinstall of the the combo updater that represents the latest system version on that computer might help. Follow up that reinstall with a permissions repair. Good luck.

How can i change the Creation Date of a video (mts-Format)?
I work with Phohoshop Elements 13 an i use Online-Album (Revel)
My Problem:
I would like to change the Creation Date of a Video-File (mts-Format). I don't no why but the date (in Metadata) is wrong and i would like it to change. If i change it in Photoshop Elements the Date (Edit... Change Date...) it seems that the date has changed, but in reality in the Metadata is still the wrong date (see attachment).
Why this ist important for me:
The Adobe Revel (Online-Album) takes always the date from the metadata which is wrong.
Any idea how i can resolve my Problem?
How i can change the Metadata?Hi,
Did you get help ? Or do you have a work around ? I have about 20.000 Pictures and countless videos to organize myself.
I just ran into the same problem. Except that after a while Adobe will undo the changes I have made to the date.
Here's a screen shot I just made of one of the files.
Look at this one ! This one is really interesting:
After changing the date to : 1889 . Adobe changed it to 01.01.1970 00:59 -
How can you determine a file creation date and know if it's been altered since the creation date
I need to know how to determine a file creation date on an ipad. If someone creates a document/note on an ipad how can you tell when it was created and if it has been altered since?
Unless you are using a third party app that provides that functionality, in iOS the only thing youcan access is the last edit/save date and time, which is fairly evident in the user interface for documents and notes. Some apps that handle MS Office files may provide that, but ican't say first hand.

I am cataloguing lot of my old music and data cds/dvds. Some of these were created on my old Mac (OS 8.6). I was wondering if there was a way to check the metadata on these discs on my current Windows machine or on a Mac that I have at work to get this information. When I pop the CD and DVDs into the windows machine the dates that show up in the explorer window are actually older than the burn. I assume this is the CD creation date and not the burn date. It's not a huge deal, but it would help me delve deeper into nerd-dom!
One approach would be to have access to a Mac that can run the classic environment or has a pre OS X native installation. These should be able to read the files for dates of creation/modification. There is also SheepShaver that runs on OS X machines.

Lookout OPC Client – Asynchronous I/O and Update Rate serious problems (Sequence of data)
I am using the Lookout OPCClient driver to connect to AB PLCs (EtherNet/IP protocol) and power measurement equipment (Modbus TCP protocol). The OPC server is the NI OPC Servers. The data that are read out from PLCs and PMs are energy meter readings, energy counters, power, voltage, current, frequency, power factor and el. energy quality measurements (THD). That energy meter readings are being stored in SQL database.
I am experiencing a serious problem regarding the accuracy of the meter readings. Several times per day, randomly, meter readings are losing the time sequence. For example, sequence is: 167, after few seconds 165, 166. In other words, present value followed by two previous old values. That generates a serious problem in our application that is expecting a naturally rising sequence of counter values.
Analyzing further, I isolated the problem to the connection between Lookout OPCClient and OPC Server. I made a simple application in Lookout 6.7 (opcproc.lkp, attached) with OPCClient parameters: NIOPCServers, OPC2, Asynchronus I/O, Update rate: 10000, Deadband: 0.0, that is reading just one tag from NI OPC Servers demo application (simdemo.opf).
By using OPC diagnostic tool from NI OPC Servers I record the sequence of OPC requests and responses. I found out that OPCClient sends every 2.5 sec “IOPCAsyncIO2::Refresh2()” call that is request for refreshing of all items in one OPC group. Few milliseconds later OPC Sever responds with callback function “IOPCDataCallback:: OnDataChange()(Device Refresh)” that actually refresh the data.
This periodic sequence is intrinsic to the OPCClient and cannot be disabled or changed (by my knowledge). This sequence is periodically interrupted by “IOPCDataCallback:: OnDataChange()” caused by update rate parameter of OPCClient (client is subscribed to server for periodic update of changed items).
In the case of demo application on every 4 refresh callbacks caused by refresh requests (2.5 sec) there is one update subscription callback determined by Update rate (10 sec).
QUESTION 1:
What is the purpose of update sequence and update rate when we have every 2.5 sec fresh values?
PROBLEM
The problem arises when we have a large number of items in OPC group. In that case the OPC Server starts to queue refresh requests because they cannot be fulfilled in 2.5 sec time because of large number of I/O points that must be scanned. At the same time update subscription callbacks are running at the period determined by Update rate. I observed in my production system that regular update callbacks has higher priority than refresh callbacks from the queue. That causes the loosing of timed sequence of data. After the update callback with fresh data, sometimes follow one or two refresh callbacks from queue with old (invalid) data. By adjusting Update rate parameter (1 hour, 2hours …) I can postpone the collision of data refreshes but I cannot eliminate it. Furthermore, the 2.5 sec automatic refresh are large burden for systems with many I/O points.
QUESTION 2:
Is there a way to disable automatic refresh request every 2.5 sec and just use update requests determined by Update rate?
QUESTION 3:
Is there a way (or parameter) to change the period of automatic refresh (2.5 sec)?
This problem is discovered for Lookout 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 so I could say it is intrinsic to OPCClient. If I use synchronous I/O requests there is not an automatic refresh, but that is not an option for large systems.
Thanks!

opcproc.zip 4 KBThe physical connection from LV to the switch is (I believe) copper crossover to fiber converter into a switch. Then, fiber from the switch to the end device (relay). The relay has all of the typical modbus registries and has been verified by inducing signals in to the system and measured/polled in LabVIEW and observed Variable Monitor. I am working with LV 8.2 and 8.5.
An OPC server would only add an additional translation of addressing within the configuration. The only real draw back would be the network overhead required to do this processing and not being representative of the end design configuration.
I will reiterated my question in another way:
I must answer the question to management that relates to data collection, test results and analysis; how often are you polling the client in relation to the outcomes measured? At this time I can not point at any configuration in the set up and execution that directs the data framing rate. I only measure the traffic and work with results. This needs to be clearly identified based on the relay modbus/tcp design capability of supporting an fixed number of client requests per second.
For testing purposes, I would like to be able to stress the system to failure and have prove capabilities with measured data. The present problem is that I have no basis to establish varying polling rates that effect the measured data transmission.
This raises another question. What handles the Variable Monitor data requests and how is this rate determined?
Thanks for your interest in my efforts.
