Sort/Select by Metadata

I'm using Aperture for image correction and the keywords tool to tag photos. Outside of Aperture, I would like to use Automator to sort files by the keywords I applied with Aperture. I've got the rest of the workflow done already. I just need to tell Automator to look at the keywords and act based on specific keywords.
Thoughts anyone?
Also, I've been trying to find a way to adapt ExifTool by Phil Harvey, but I'm not advanced enough to do so.

If you are just going to look for files with certain keywords and do something with them, you can use a Spotlight action with the appropriate metadata (the action also accepts variables), otherwise a Run AppleScript action would probably be needed to gather everything together.

  • Sorting for property metadata

    Hi All
    I have created a custom metadata and KM navigation iview. This custom metadata property
    is displayed in the iview using layout set. I am getting the option to sort by this property. Is there any way to remove the sorting option for metadata properties?
    Points will be awarded for useful answers.

    That's it!
    To change the data type of a property you have to change it on database.
    So you'll first change the type-attribute of your property (in the "Property Metadata") into the used type.
    Then you open the "Enterprise Manager Console" as standalone to edit the database. Enter the network => Databases => DATABASE.world and login as sysdba => enter scheme => sapDATABASEdb => tables => kmc_dbrm_names. Here you can have a look for your property (show content). The ID belongs to you'd notice.
    After that you're changing to database kmc_dbrm_props (show content). Select (by SQL-Statement) the localnameid by the noticed number. By changing the column "typ" or "type" you can change the datas type.
    1 stands for string
    3 stands for integer
    5 stands for date
    All of the type-numbers you can find in the table kmc_dbrm_props. The content it belongs to you'll have to find out on your own. By using SQL-Statement you can change all entries you want.
    Good Luck ;-D

  • DataGrid - update contents and maintain sort selection

    I have a DataGrid whose 'dataProvider' is bound to an
    ArrayCollection. At some points in time the ArrayCollection is
    replaced with a new set of data provided to the application. This
    causes the DataGrid to be reloaded essentially, which also causes
    the users sort selection to be reset. How can I keep the sort
    selection when replacing the data?

    There may be an easier way to do this, but I set a
    headerRelease handler on the dataGrid and keep track of which
    column is being sorted. When it is time to replace the
    dataProvider, it is possible to sort my dataProvider based on the
    last user click of the header.
    It's not elegant, but it works. With this method I'm able to
    store the user's preferred sort between executions. (that would be
    application executions. Not the user)

  • Sort selected rows using Numbers on an iPad

    I am new to Numbers.  I have spreedsheets in iCloud.  On my MacBook I have figured out how to sort just "selected rows", but have not been as lucky on the same spreedsheet accessed on my iPad.  If I select the rows on Numbers on the iPad the "sort" option does not appear.  If I hit the block above the column it will ask how you want to sort, but this sorts the whole table/spreedsheet.  Is there a way in Numbers using an iPad where you can just "sort selected rows", like on the MacBook?

    Sort is only available for columns in Pages for iOS.

  • Sorting by IPTC Metadata

    Many of my photos were digitized with a slide scanner and I have manually assigned them an IPTC Metadata "date created". In Photoshop Express and Bridge, I can sort by this date, which puts all of my photos automatically in chronological order.
    It seems that Aperature is unable to, and will only sort by the Exif "image date", which is the date I scanned the slides, and within this date by file name (random). Am I missing something, or is there no way to sort by the "date created?".
    I'm talking sorting here, not searching.

    Simply select your pictures, go to the Metadata menu, and choose Adjust date and time. Then EXIF data will be change and will work as expected.

  • Windows 8 libraries don't sort/group by metadata (like Windows 7 could)

    One of the great things about the Windows 7 libraries was the way they let you group and sort the stuff in them. For example, in the music library you could sort by artist, and it would group them by albums (see attached).
    By contrast, the Windows 8 libraries (at least on my computer - if I'm doing something wrong let me know...) are completely crippled. In particular:
    files that are stored in subdirectories are only ever shown by folder - the libraries view will not sort these by any metadata (such as date, album, artist, author, ...); and
    even files that are in one of the root directories indexed by the library will not be sorted and grouped as usefully as in the Windows 7 libraries. You get to choose one thing to group by, and one thing to sort by. And every view shows every song - no nice
    collecting into albums or dates as in the Windows 7 view.
    (see attached - in this picture the 8 files listed are in C:\Users\[me]\Music, while the remaining files are in subfolders).
    Is there any way to make Windows 8 libraries work like Windows 7's?
    (In the case of music, I note that the Xbox Music Metro app has no difficulty sorting the library in various ways (although, from memory, it didn't work when it was originally released) - but the photos app doesn't and I'm not sure about videos).
    (As a subscript, I note that the screenshots in this thread seem to suggest that Windows 8 at least once had the same functionality as Windows
    7, albeit that there is no cover art shown in that pic. So it's entirely possible that it's something I'm doing wrong (but I have no idea what...).
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Based on my test, we can use the following setting to sort by artist.
    If you cannot see the option, please restore the Default Libraries to check the result.
    1.Open an Explorer window.
    2.In the Navigation Pane, right click on Libraries, and click on Restore Default Libraries.

  • SharePoint 2010 Slide Library Unable To Select Managed Metadata When Publishing.

    Hello,
    I'm running into some problems with Managed Metadata when uploading (publishing) slides in a SharePoint 2010 Slide Library.  If I have Managed Metadata Site Columns that are set to be required in my slide library, and I publish my slide(s) into the
    SharePoint 2010 Slide Library I'm not prompted to enter in my required Metadata before the slide is published.  The slide will upload, but then I would need to edit the slide and then enter in the required Metadata.
    If I create a new column with a type set to Choice for example, and set it to be required and I upload (publish) a slide I'm now prompted to enter in the required Metadata, but all the Managed Metadata choices are grayed out and I'm unable to select anything. 
    I'm able to select a Choice for the new column.
    Is this a bug within SharePoint 2010 that does not allow me to enter in Required Managed Metadata Tags on uploading (publishing) slides?
    Regular document libraries work just fine with required Managed Metadata.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the Managed Metadata not prompted to enter value in the required metadata.
    I had tested with this issue, and I found the same issue.
    We will help to submit the issue to proper pipeline for you.
    Again, thank you for your report which will definitely make SharePoint a better products. There might be some time delay. 
    Appreciate your time and patience.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.

    Many of my photos were digitized with a slide scanner and I have manually assigned them an IPTC Metadata "date created". In Photoshop Express and Bridge, I can sort by this date, which puts all of my photos automatically in chronological order.

    Sad and disappointing if Apple really missed this.

    You seem to be leading with your chin a lot in these posts - luckily for you I've used up my quota of jokes and ripostes for today...
    If you are using referenced mode for your photos, they're right where you left them in the hard disk and you can open them with whatever you like. If they've been actually imported into Aperture's library (ie managed mode) it's possible but not desirable nor recommended.
    If your aperture is suffering from general out of order randomness it sounds like you haven't spent much time setting up the structure to work like you think:
    1. What is your general structure for projects?
    2. Do you use blue folders to group projects (by location, year, client or whatever)
    3. What is your taxonomy for keywording?
    Why would you want to want to try to get to the images directly? Aperture is supposed to hide the anarchy of the way you've stored the photos on the disk and allow you to slice and dice to your heart's content. In starting to use Aperture I changed the project and folder structure in it three times in two months, without ever changing the physical location of the files on the disk. To borrow a phrase from lolcat... "ur doign it wrong"

  • Cannot sort the managed metadata values in refinement panel

    1. I created a site column based on the managed metadata type named color.
    2. I changed the managed property owstaxIdcolor to refinable:yes.
    3. I added the managed property owstaxIdcolor in the refinement Web Part and request it to be sorted by name in ascending order.
    4. The order stays displayed by number in the refinement panel. It doesn't want to show by alphabetical order. I already have used it with success on other types of column. Have you experience the same effect? Do you know how to obtain an alphabetical
    order?

    Hi,
    As I noticed, you used OOB managed property owstaxIdcolor as refiner. Please locate something like ows_color in crawled property, and create a new managed property and map ows_color to it. Then use it as refiner and test the issue again.

  • Sorting selected cells

    When i have several cells selected, i only want that selection to be sorted...
    that is very crucial to me, for many of my old sheets from AppleWorks have tables and on the right hand top, some statistical overviews. what happens now is when sorting the data table, it sorts the rows included in the selection, but it sorts the complete row and thus placing my overview scattered in the spreadsheet
    is there an other way of getting this fixed, or do i need to setup a sheet with two tables, one with data and one with the resulting overview?

    Then that implies that data doesn't actually belong in that table. In Numbers only related data that should be noted next to each other should be in one table. You can then recombine the data into one final results table that brings data from multiple data tables together.
    Think data base. You would never try to do that kind of thing in a relational database. only data that belongs together is stored in fields together. You then combine different tables data into one results "Query".
    Does this help straighten it out a little bit? Things we have learned in Excel are actually bad habits when it comes to data integrity.

  • Smart mailboxes don't honor sort selection

    Every regular mailbox remembers it's sort state from the last time the application was opened, but all of my smart mailboxes reset to subject (descending) sort. It's so irritating to have to change this for every smart mailbox every time I open Mail. I couldn't find anyone else complaining about this, so I'm wondering if it's only affecting me.

  • Song sorting selections...

    For some reason, when I opened iTunes the other day, the sorting category that was usually "Album" had changed to "Album by Artist"
    No matter what I do I can't seem to change it back to regular "Album"...
    can someone help me? I have already tried getting rid of the "Album by Artist" column by choosing what columns I view, and when I go to add columns, it only says "Album", but it keeps coming up "Album by Artist"
    please help!!!

    i did that... it still gives me the option of album, which is checked, however it keeps showing up as the category "album by artist", which sorts the songs by artist, and then by the albums of that artist.
    i have version 7 if that matters

  • Physical Inventory Tag Generation Sort Selection

    Hello,
    Is there anyone that has dealt with Physical Inventory Tag Generation and sorting of the generation to match the Bin Locator sequence.
    Currently under 10.7 SC with our Physical Inventory at the end of Oct. Current process is to print Tags in numerical sequence. This means they will not always be in locator sequence as well since additional locators were added after initial data load and they print at the end or in the middle of the file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    <?for-each:G_HEADER?><?sort:C_LOC_VALUE;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
    <?C_LOC_VALUE?>
    <?end for-each?>Using the above code
    Will get you the result as below
    ABB.001....
    00.A.01.B..
    00.A.01.B..Next one.
    <?for-each:G_HEADER?><?sort:C_LOC_VALUE;'ascending';data-type='number'?>

    <?end for-each?>will result in
