Setting Metadata in LR Mobile?

As a travel photographer my primary use for a mobile version of LR to to caption and keyword my images while I am out in the field. Download images from camera to iPad and then pull in to mobile from camera roll. I have little/no desire to PROCESS the images, just to record what I have shot while I know what it is I am shooting. I can find no way in LR Mobile to even add a simple caption to an image, let alone keywords or set all the other metadata such as location, city, state etc. Am I missing something?

Lightroom Mobile 1.0 has no provisions for modifying metadata. Right now, you can set a Pick/Reject Flag and that is about all.

Read XML function - can't get it to work correctly to set metadata

I've been working with the Read XML function in order to set metadata on assets with no avail. I'm using the following simple XML file in a Watcher folder with a poll watcher setup every 5 seconds, that then references a Read XML Response named "Update Asset Metadata" - to read the XML file and update the asset metadata. Nothing really happens even though the FCS Log file shows that the process is taking place to "update" the asset metadata. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I got the answer. You must type “*.xml” (that is, asterisk-dot-xml) in the Value field of Wildcard Include Filter for it to work correctly.

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.

Setting metadata in Bridge

Can someone give some advice on setting metadata values within Bridge using javascript? The examples all seem to deal with Text types like the following:
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
md.Author = "Jane Smith";
But when trying to set other types, like the "caption" (which gets mapped to "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/description"), the script will throw an exception.
md.namespace = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
md.description = "New Caption"
-- Uncaught exception description --
I'm thinking this is probably because dc:description is defined as a "Lang Alt" type in the xmp specification which in turn is defined as:
"Language alternatives are a form of rdf:Alt array, referred to as the Lang Alt type. In this
example, each array item is a simple text value; the value has a property qualifier, specified as
the property xml:lang, giving the language of that value. "
But no matter how I try accessing this object (there is no "reflect" available on metadata objects), I can't seem to change the string value.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
On another topic, would it be possible for someone to post the Export Metadata Script here in this forum for those of us who don't have access to the partners site? Here's is my working go at an export metadata script for Bridge that simply prints to the debugger. It's basically a quick hack of some of the routines in AdobeLibrary3.jsx which it also needs in order to run.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,
I think most people here agree with your 2c, but there just wasn't time to do everything.
But one of the great things about Bridge Scripting is, if you don't like it, change it, or create something that will do what you need. If you don't like the way collections work, create your own browse scheme, and do it your way.
The MdNs object has a definition for an object, MdManager. The MdManager constructor takes a thumbnail object. It's "grab" method creates 2 enumerations. MdManager.enumeration contains a KeyedArrayList (object defined in lib3 just above MdNs) of all the metadata elements that actually have values. MdManager.noValue is a KeyedArrayList of metadata elements that do not have values. Now, the standard MdManager only provides checks against the standard XMP schemas. But if you want to extend that, just add a MdNs.MetadataNamespace and the MdNs.MdElement 's necessary to define the non-standard data you want to enumerate.
So while you can't use the metadata object to traverse the metadata structure, there are always other ways.
The concept of modifying the scripting features of Bridge didn't stop there. In Lib1, we extended the File object prototype in Bridge:
File.isFileType() - give it a comma delimited list of extensions, returns true if file matches any of the extensions
File.isPhotoshop() is the file one of "PSD,PDD,8BPS,JPEG,JPG,GIF,"
File.isPageMaker()
File.isInDesign()
File.isPDF()
File.isIllustrator()
File.isOpenableIllustrator()
File.isOpenablePhotoshop()
File.isScript()
File.getExtension( noDecode ) - gets you the extension of the file - noDecode is a boolean - if true it will not perform a decodeURI on the result. Default is false
File.getNameWithoutExtension( noDecode ) - gets you the name of the file without the extension. noDecode is a boolean - if true it will not perform a decodeURI on the result. Default is false
File.getFileWithExtension( ext ) - creates a new File object with the original file name and the provided extension. You provide only the extension ( "jpg" ), the function adds the dot (".jpg").
We also extended the Thumbnail object prototype:
Thumbnail.isFileType( ext ) - same as File.isFileType but for Thumbnails.
Then there's handy functions like:
ensureUniqueFile( file ) - pass it a file object. If the file object exists, it will return a new File object with a "(integer)" added to the filename. So if My Documents/foo.jpg exists, and you called:
ensureUniqueFile( new File( "~/My Documents/foo.jpg ) );
the result would be a file object: My Documents/foo(1).jpg
These next two are defined in lib3:
ensureUniqueFolder( folder ) - does the same thing for a folder
And one of my personal favorites:
verifyFolder( folder, silent ) - if you give it a Folder, it will verify that the folder actually exists, creating the entire path to the folder if necessary. "silent" is a boolean. If true - it will just make the folder (and path to the folder). If false (the default) it will flip up a "Folder does not exist - Do you want to create it" alert to the user, to give them the choice. IF the user opts not to create the folder, it returns undefined.
If My Documents is empty (no files/folders), and you want to write a file into My Documents/1/2/3/My Folder/foo.txt
var f = new File( "~/My Documents/1/2/3/My Folder/foo.txt" );
var folder = verifyFolder( f.parent, true );
f.open( "w" );
f.write( "Four score and seven years ago..." );
f.close();
The result of that ditty will be the successful writing of the file, and the creation of the entire path to the file. It will only create the path elements that do not exist.

Set metadata field with current user

I would like to have a Response that would set a field with the current logged in user. (This would be triggered by a Subscription)
I am using a Response Action of "Set Asset Metadata".
I have tried entering:
[Name]
[USER_NAME]
[Username]
and so on but the field just puts in the text not the user. Is it not possible to copy from one metadata field to another in a Response Action?

Variable insertions only work for fields that are part of the Asset, Production, or Job that is triggering the Subscription. The only one of those that would reference a user is a Job Subscription. Jobs have a field called \[Owner] that lists the user that caused the job to happen. Of course, this is only viable for actions that cause a job to occur, such as downloads, exports, analysis, archive, or recovery.
Unfortunately, Set Asset MD will not be of any use in a Job Subscription since there is no asset to set metadata upon when you are subscribing to a job. Long story short, you will not be able to do what you are describing automatically.

Has anyone found a way to to change this?

Hi.
Can you find the "Comments" field into the Metadata? Because I don't find it and when I write something in the box Aperture tells me that the box is "unlink" from the metadata...
How can I add a (free) comment to my photos in a book?

Automated process to set metadata properties of documents in KM

Hi,
I want to upload about thousand files in KM and set their metadata properties. There are five metadata properties among which two are links, one is thumbnail, and two are multivalued check boxes.
Is there any tool/process available so that I can set these properties automatically?

Hi Deepti,
with NW04 SPS18, NW04s SPS09 you have a new KM Report "<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/8d6f90d85c6572e10000000a11466f/content.htm">Propagation of Properties</a>.

Terminal command equivalent to Automator's 'set metadata pdf'

Hi,
When I make pdf docs I sometimes want to erase my name from the Author metadata, and put something into Title and so on.
I know that Automator has an action called set pdf metadata, which I have successfully used. But I would like a Terminal command that I could use instead.
Googling this question returns suggestions of downloading pdf-manipulation libraries which are too elaborate for me to use. I'm hoping that Automator is simply utilising a terminal command already built-in.
Is there such a command?
Diddles

A bit of experimenting.
Given a file temp.pdf in the current working directory . . .
xattr -w "com.apple.metadata:kMDItemAuthors" "diddles1234" temp.pdf
writes the string "diddles1234" to the Authors metadata field of temp.pdf.
xattr -w "com.apple.metadata:kMDItemTitle" "newmetatitle" temp.pdf
writes the string "newmetatitle" to Title metadata field of temp.pdf.
However, if you try to put spaces into the string like this:
xattr -w "com.apple.metadata:kMDItemTitle" "new meta title" temp.pdf
the title field will not be changed to "new meta title". In fact, if you start with "original title" as the value of kMDItemTitle, successfully change it to "newmetatitle", and then later try to change it again to "new meta title", the value of kMDItemTitle reverts to "original title". The OS appears to "forget" the intermediate change to "newmetatitle".
As best I can figure, in the event of a failed xattr write command, the original kMDItemTitle is rebuilt from semi-redundant data within the PDF--but more experimentation would be required to prove it. (The same is true of kMDItemAuthors, by the way.) Quick take away: The first two commands above will work if you don't use spaces in the strings to be inserted into the metadata fields. Someone more proficient in UNIX may have a better solution or explanation.

How to set static IP for mobile network?

Hi all,
Can the Incredible 2 be set to a static IP address when connecting to mobile networks?
I want to use my phone to connect to my PC using the Wireless Hotspot feature and give me a static IP address so I can register it with one of my work applications.
Thanks
Bill

I was able to change the HotSpot ip address by going to your hot spot and tapping the menu>advanced>LAN Settings. You should be able to change the IP address and Starting IP address from there. One thing I did notice is that Verizon is assigning the DNS to the hotspot itself which is iffy. Change the DNS setting on the laptop/Ipad or what have you to the universal DNS's that are already out there.

Burrito - can't set 'command line arguments' (mobile)

Hi all,
The option to set command line arguments in the "Run/Debug Settings" - "Launch Configurations" dialog disappears when a new "Flex Mobile AIR Project" is created.
I am developing APKs that are launched via Intents from other Android apps; setting arguments for testing in the IDE would improve the workflow that now requires me to deploy to the device for testing. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks,

Put the command into a file with execute permissions, including whatever command-line arguments you want. For instance, the file might contain the following:
#! /bin/bash
xpdf -g 1200x900 -z width -cont "$1"
In Firefox preferences, under "Applications," locate the appropriate Content Type and in the Action menu, select "Use other..." and then locate the executable file you just created and select it.
In UNIX-type operating systems at least, available options to the command can be found using the "man" command (e.g. "man xpdf" for the example above).

Unable to edit Document Set metadata.

I have a Library with Document Sets enabled. The metadata for the documents and the DS are defined and the columns visible (set to optional) from within each content type under library settings. However, when I select a DS and then click Edit
Properties, I can only change the DS Name and the Content Type (DS or Folder). None of the other metadata from the DS content type is visible. The extra metadata shows when I create a new DS item, but there is no way to change it after the fact.
Anyone have any ideas?

It is possible to make it do that but i can't imagine how it could happen without sigificant deliberate effort.
It is possible to modify the columns on a content type so that they do not appear on specific views (view,new,edit) but it's a fairly obscure trick and you need PowerShell to do it. If this has happened then you could use PowerShell to correct the settings
but i dislike treating the symptoms of a problem unless you know the cause.
There are some columns that are set by default to only appear on set views but that would normally affect the items as well as the document sets.
For a random thought you could look at the effectts of seting the columns to be shared throught the document set, it's possible that i've forgotten a bit of default behaviour and that the columns are being hidden on purpose. Other than that i'm out of ideas
i'm afraid. Hopefully someone else may be able to contribute.

You need to supply much more information, such as the type of email acct your trying to set up, the mail account provider, and all of your current settings. However, it may be easier to look in the help section I'm sure your email provider, provides.

GWIA IMAP Metadata Showing on Mobile Device

Hello All,
I am experiencing a minor issue since upgrading to 8.0.2 HP1 on both Netware and Linux. On our mobile devices that are using IMAP to receive emails, I am seeing what appears to be header metadata in the body of the email.
For example:
UID 2278 BODY[1]<0> {376}
Body of message
The problem appears to be cosmetic and not causing any actual imap synchronization issues.
