Smart Collection: How to select files with unassigned/unknown/null metadata?

Is there an easy way to set up a Smart Collection to show all files with unassigned/null data in a specific metadata field?
Example: Smart Collection to show all files where IPTC "City" is unassigned (null/ blank)
I currently have a mickey mouse way of doing it that works, by selecting files NOT containing a,b,c,d,e,f,..... in the chosen metadata field, but can't beleve a more elegant (built-in) solution doesn't exist for unassigned/null values
thks!

"I will release a new plugin, Any Filter, in a day or two, that, among many other things, will allow you to search for fields with no values."
that sounds great, thanks, John!
i know nothing about the LR internal code, but would imagine that having to check each field's text string against 36 separate conditions (a-z, 0-9) as i'm currently having to do is not nearly as efficient performance wise as just testing against a single null flag or indicator - especially in large catalogs (i have about 120,000 files in mine)

If you mean just moving files between a Mac and a PC with XP on it, get a USB flash drive, format it FAT32 (they usually come that way) and copy the files to that drive.

If you look around the forum for a bit, you will see that there is no notion of file systems on JavaCards (lexdabear posted this information less than two hours ago :-)). To store files, you will have to write an applet to hold byte arrays of the required size and handle receiving and sending of these.
As for documentation, you should have a look at the GP (General Platform) specification at http://www.globalplatform.org/, which defines communication between smart cards and other devices, as well as Sun's own JavaCard pages (http://java.sun.com/products/javacard/), which contain several useful resources on JavaCards.

How to open files with "return" key and delete files with "delete" key?

Hi friends,
It's been over a week since I got my iMac and I'm loving it. However, while I'm adapting alright to 'mac' key shortcuts (e.g. using the COMMAND-S for save as opposed to CONTROL-S used in PC).
However, there are 2 things that are annoying me greatly right now.
1. I like selecting files with keys as opposed to using the mouse. I make animations and prefer keyboard shortcuts. However, when I hit "return", instead of opening the file it goes into file-renaming mode. How do I change this? Likewise, I would like to delete files by hitting the delete key. This does not work - how do I change this?
2. When I click SHIFT key sometimes, it gets 'stuck' - which is annoying because I start typing CAPITALS when I wasn't aware I've activated the CAP-LOCK key. How do I get rid of this? Like, I don't want to hit SHIFT for instance, and have that up arrow thing 'stuck' there.
Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi
Thanks for the star.
If you went into Mac Help & searched, 2 results come up:
Full keyboard access shortcuts for interacting with items (for selecting & activating controls).
Full keyboard navigation keyboard shortcuts (for navigating Desktop, Windows, Menu bar etc)
From the lists, select the link that closely describes your situation.
I have to say that I can't reproduce your problem, does this happen just in applications or in everything? I don't know if it's to do with this but pressing Shift 5 times turns on Sticky Keys & Option(Alt) 5 times to turn on Mouse Keys (System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard).
After typing "Sticky Keys" into Mac Help, I found this:
"Pressing a group of modifier keys as a sequence
To perform many tasks on your computer, you need to press one or more modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option, and Control) at the same time as another key. For example, pressing Shift-Command-Q in the Finder opens the Logout dialog.
If you have difficulty pressing several keys at once, you can make it easier to press a set of keys by turning on Sticky Keys in the Universal Access preferences pane. With Sticky Keys turned on, you can press a set of modifier keys as a sequence. As you press each key, the symbol for the modifier key appears on the screen.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Universal Access. Then click Keyboard.
Select the On button next to Sticky Keys.
To hear a sound whenever the computer registers that you have pressed a modifier key, select "Beep when a modifier key is set."
To see an icon indicating which modifier keys you have pressed, select "Display pressed keys on screen."
You can also use Slow Keys to adjust the amount of time between when you press a key and when it is activated."
Any of this close to your problem?
Steve
Edit: I'm right, it's Sticky Keys:

How to select textFrames with tracking different to zero (greater or smaller than zero)?

Hi All,
Thanks for your help. The orignal clips are from Sony PMW F3 camera and I have got Dimensions: 1920 × 1080, Codecs: MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode, Color profile: HD (1-1-1), Total bit rate: 36,623.
The other camera has given me .MTS files which I have converted in MPEG-2 also. I used Wondershare Video Converter to convert second cameras clip.
I don't think the clips are matching with first camera's clips because still that is saying the same thing.

Jai

Sum Encrypt does not recognize a copy of a file through linux. How decrypt this file with Sum Encrypt?

Sum Encrypt does not recognize a copy of a file through linux to Mac 0S9. How decrypt this file with Sum Encrypt?

Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Communities!
I am not familiar with the program that you list, however files in OS 9 use things called Resource Forks (rather than file extensions) for filetype and creator.
If you sent a file through Linux these resource forks probably got stripped and now the file is nothing to your Macintosh.
It is best to BinHex your files (.hqx) before leaving the HFS file system so that their resource forks are preserved.

How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File

Hi Friends,
I Deleted Temp File, And Now get A Error when open photoshop file " Could Not Complet ... is not a valid photoshop format " and my file size is 60mb
and i have temp file that size is 2.50GB but How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File?
Thank you So Much

You can search for recovery programs but most likely if it a temp file is not an image file. You could also try renaming the file to have an image file type and try to open with Photoshop. Again its most likely not an image file. Photoshop only supports some image files formats.

Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

Terry,
I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
Thanks.

Still not sure how to share files with my friend's Windows PC?

I went through all the help pages concerning this, but it doesn't seem to help any. On our house internet connection, both our computers use the same IP address. I tried connecting directly to his computer using ethernet cable, but his computer never showed up. Our workgroup name should be the same, his is WORKGROUP but I'm not sure how to officially make mine that. I went to Network in System Preferences and clicked on Advanced... then went to the WINS tab and it has workgroup in the workgroup box, does this mean my computer is using that workgroup name? I'm at a loss and would like to share files with my friend's computer.

Do you have a router?
If not then sharing files will not be easy.

How to organize files with 256Gb SSD

I would like to apologize in advance if i am posting in the wrong discussions board.
I would like to ask community of advice on how to deal with a huge amount of data which doesn't seem to fit in the laptop's hard drive. When i bought i didn't imagine how fast it would fill up and looking for a good easy to use solution.
Inputs:
Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch
256Gb SSD Drive
QNAP 1.5Tb RAID TS210 (slow data transfer)
Seagate 4TB external USB 3.0 drive (external power)
Seagate 1TB external USB 3.0 Drive
JetDrive 64gb (memory card)
Yosemite
Problem:
My wife and i have 2 accounts on my laptop. my iTunes full library is about 140Gb, hers about 20Gb. My iPhoto library is about 50Gb and lives on Jetdrive. My wife's about 80Gb and i had to temporary move it to external drive so iTunes can backup her iPhone before upgrade. So, we constantly running out of time and live in a small apartment where having laptop to be connected constantly to external drive is not very nice solution. Our NAS drive is quite slow even with 802.11ac connected at 1Gigabit it only manages about 5mb/s (just old drive). Yosemite is buggy and doesn't handle network connection well so after sleep you have to kill Finder to reconnect. my wife won't be able to do it
So i wonder how people manage this. some solutions come to mind. Not to store photos in iPhoto library. But than how to organize and edit them? use Lightroom? what organization should be? Having iTunes on NAS is not very robust, library breaks quite often and requires repairs. How other deal with it? iPhone backups are not even part of the iTunes folder.
Basically any suggestions from experience people have would be most welcome. I don't think iCloud/Cloud solutions are there yet, by simply cost and speed reasons.
Many Thanks!
R.

There is no need to download anything.
In iTunes, select File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Library
This will consolidate all content listed in iTunes into the iTunes Media Folder.

How to share files with others?

Hello! I wanna share some files with my home mates who are both Windows users. I wonder how to do it.
Thanks

If you open up your system preferences, and along the Internet row, you should see a "Sharing" icon. Within there you would have the option to enable Windows File Sharing.
You may want to try this feature and follow the instructions within that preferences pane.
If this doesn't prove to be worthy, try establishing a connection through the internet (if available). Otherwise you could simply burn CD's from your Mac and transfer them that way to the PC's. This is of course if your Mac is a CD burner.
Hope this helps.
