Sorting and metadata

I noticed LR for some reason messed up the capture date, pics in my grid ended up showing randomly instead of in a time sequence. I had to 'Read metadata from file again to correct the capture date, but then I loose the edits and I had to redo the pic again. It's pretty annoying. Does anyone know what caused the problem and/or how to fix it?

Can't explain why the sequence of the pics were different one day from the next. This happens after I imported them to the catalog. Photos of day 1 of my trip should be at the beginning and day 10 should be at the end. But some day 10 pics (as well as other days) ended up at the begining of the sequence, randomly. So strange.
By the way, can anyone tell me how can I control the sorting order of my photos? By name, by date modified, by date taken, ascending, descending, etc.?
Thanks.

Can I sort on metadata?

I just posted a message asking about filtering on metadata, but I didn't want to confuse that thread with this second question:
Can I sort on metadata? For example, can I sort on "Date Time Original"?
I know I can sort on "Date Created," but that's not the same thing as the metadata's "Date Time Original" field. E.g., I have jpg files where the "Date Time Original" is in 1990 but the Date Created is in 2012. Sorting on Date Created doesn't order the files chronologically based on when the photo was taken.
Thanks.

I have jpg files where the "Date Time Original" is in 1990 but the Date Created is in 2012. Sorting on Date Created doesn't order the files chronologically based on when the photo was taken.
To me it seems Date Time Original in Exif data from camera equals the Date Created from IPTC. This makes also some sense because exif is created using the Camera software and when you have set the date and time correctly this reflects the moment the file was created.
When using images that don't have its origin in a camera able to provide exif (analog camera or scanner etc.) you have to provide this data yourself and fill in the right places. I don't know if you were able to add this in the filed Date Time Created in an earlier version of PS file info using CS6 I can't find an editable field in the file info that is called 'Data Time Original', only date created is available.
Hence Bridge (although the options for filter and sort could be somewhat expanded) will not likely provide this option in future versions but you can always put a Feature Request for this, but if only 1 or a few people have the need for this it is not very likely to get realized I'm afraid.
So your only chance might be a script that reads your metadata and for example replaces the 'date created' data with the 'Date Time Original' data if this is in the metadata written.
You could try the dedicated Adobe Bridge Scripting Forum for this, their are some very helpful people in there:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_scripting
And make sure backing up the files before trying to alter them, if it screws things up you always have the originals to refer to.
Also a small tip that won't help you now but can do in the future. Think of a proper naming convention of your files and stick to it. Personal I rename all my files with first "YYYYMMDD" and then a short subject description followed by a sequence number for series of that same subject.
This will place your files always in a natural sort order for date. And when scanning pre digital files create a template for the metadata in Bridge with your common copyright info and use the IPTC core fields to immediately fill in the important fields like description, keywords, place and date created. You can select multiple files and use this template to ad the info in one go.

Extract date modified for sorting and renaming

I am new to the area of XMP data so bare with this inquiry..
I am trying to sort a lot of pictures by their actual modified date versus the date modified that shows in the file browser of my os ( mac os x).
Is there a way to extract the actual date modified from within the Description metadata of an image and then use that information to sort and then rename the pictures?
I can see in Adobe Bridge that the data modified is captured and this would actually tell me the correct sequence the pictures should be in. If I had that information I could then sort and determine a renaming scheme to name the sequence and use that in various xml data feeds.
Or is there a way I can access the data through xml. Perhaps through XML I can load the images in order to the resulting file ( in this case a flash movie.)
Thanks in advance for thoughts on this...

Greetings,
I have produced such a command line tool a long time ago that should do this, I have recently re-released the tools. Even though, the tools are still in BETA stage, you can get them here:
http://www.optimasc.com/products/dex/index.html
Look for the renameto.exe tool in the bin directory after installation.
Please do a backup of your files, since its still BETA!
Good luck!

Where is the "sort and filter" in numbers?

I am trying to sort rows using Numbers for iPad. I can sort an entire table by using the Sort function when you highlight a column. However, I am now trying to sort only certain rows, i.e. a sort within a sort, and this is proving ridiculously difficult. I've read this can be done by highlighting and choosing "sort and filter" from the toolbar. However, I don't see this toolbar nor the "sort and filter". Where is it? I see 4 icons in the upper left: info, picture, wrench, and arrows. I'm very frustrated as it seems this should be so easy to do in a spreadsheet application. I appreciate any help!

The text pop-up menu you read about may have been the Add Filter pop-up menu in the Query HUD (Cmd-F). You can use it to add additional text search boxes to the HUD. You already have one by default in the upper right corner of the HUD.
That's for searching.
Again, if what you're trying to do is overlay text on an image, you can't really do that except as I described the previous reply.
If what you're trying to do is enter text to an image's metadata, you do that in the Metadata Inspector (I).

Aspect Ratio Sort and Export (File Naming)

When I crop my photos, I sometimes find that some photos work best in the 4x5/8x10 crop and others in a 2x3/4x6 aspect ratio.
Issue #1) How can I sort and find all of my images with a specific aspect ratio?
When in the Library module and setting up a filter (ctrl+f), I don't see any way to filter and sort out my aspect ratio. In the "Metadata - Label" filter fields, there is an "Aspect Ratio" value however the only options are Portrait and Landscape. (more of a photo/page layout than 'aspect ratio' to me)
** Feature Request: Please add "Aspect Ratio" options (just as presented with "r" is pressed for resize) in the Library Filter Metadata. **
Issue #2) How can I include the aspect ratio of the image (e.g. 4x5) in the exported file name?
I don't see any way to to do this either, so I have to manually find all of the images with the same aspect ratio first, then set a Custom Name field for export and export each ratio at a time.
** Feature Request: Please add "Aspect Ratio" options to the file naming fields available for selection when exporting images. Values like "4x5" and "4x6" would be great to be able to include in the filename of my images.
Regards,
Brian

"Good" flag - and metadata in general

Newbie question –
Is there some magic about the "Good" flag that I am missing, or is it -- as far as I can tell -- next to completely useless?
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a "good" flag (or my interpretation of it) – a quick way to mark clips that you like while reviewing footage with a director so you can easily find them when making cuts later.
But I can't find any straightforward way of searching or filtering on them. In a project with over 1200 clips with nearly 100 bins, I need to be able to find these quickly. I've heard some people suggest "sorting by good and then copying to a new bin" – this makes no sense to me. All of my clips are already in a very nice subject-based structure and I don't need another unsorted bin with several hundred clips (or perhaps that's why they are called "bins"?).
I'm sorry this sounds like a bit of a rant, but as a new Adobe customer I have to say I am quite dissatisfied with the anaemic metadata capabilities of Premiere Pro CS6.
I'm hoping someone with more experience can enlighten me to what I'm missing, or suggest an alternative workflow or sorting strategy that allows me to:
a) accumulate and review footage in an iterative manner over the course of 3 months while shooting a documentary
b) have clips sorted and searchable by location/topic/content/"good" for who knows whatever cuts the director will want when we finish shooting.
Cheers,
Jason.

Jim gave you the same answer that I gave you in the other thread.
The "checked GOOD" clips...list at the top of the column in their organised bin...so what more do you want by "search"?
The Good Column uses a different data "condition" that creates the tick. You can see what it is if you create a new data field of your own. It will be an option for field entry.
Because its only ON and OFF ( checked or otherwise)/ It has a different search condition than text fields.
Use the other fields and write "GOOD" in them if you want a different method to do the same thing.

Reporting Services Error after Interactive sorting and drill down in pps

Hi
i have a report that has a drill down option that shows all workgroups within a specific parent group and an interactive sorting ass well on both columns parent group & workgroup
This is displayed in pps combined with a SharePoint
---the problem is that after sorting the parent group column by name i then press the drill through icon (+) next to it hopping to see all workgroups related to each parent group
- but instead
i receive this Reporting Services Error :
The value for parameter 'SortItem' is not specified. It is either missing from the function call, or it is set to null. (rsMissingParameter) Get
Online Help
If I don't press the sorting and just drill through it works fine. the sorting itself also works fine.
any suggestions ?

Hi Hyaron,
I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. How did you add the drilldown feature? Were you doing that by setting visibility of the column or of the group? Please ensure to add the drilldown functionality by set the visibility of the workgroup
from the Grouping Pane in the Report Designer.
How did you add the Interactive Sorting on the headers of the two columns? Based on the drilldown functionality, the Interactive Sorting on the second column doesn’t work. So, you can move the Interactive Sorting on the second column. When configuring the
Interactive sorting on the first column, you should set the parent group to sort, and sort by the field that the parent group groups by.
Hope this helps.

HT201303 was just having this problem until today. It is now all sorted and I can explain what to do very simply and easily.

I was just having this problem until today. It is now all sorted and I can explain what to do very simply and easily.
I remembered the answers to my questions, I just forgot "EXACTLY" how I entered the text - so I had to have them reset. The easiest way is to sign in through www.appleid.com. Then on the right click the "Manage your Account" link and sign in. Easy so far right. Then, as others have said, look on the left of the screen you will see a link called "Password and Security" - click on this. Now this is where the confusion begins. Some people have a link located directly under the existing questions that looks like this "Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to blah blah blah email . If you see this click it and it will send an email to the "Rescue Email" address that you entered when you originally entered your answers. Follow the instructions contained in this email and you are done. If you cannot remember this email address or you have since closed it, you will need to go to the Itunes Express lane and send an email to Apple requesting them to reset your answers.
HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT SEE A THIS LINK UNDER THE QUESTIONS - this means that you DID NOT enter a Rescue email address when you originally set your questions. The only way you can now reset your Security Questions and Answers is to go to the Itunes Express lane and email Apple asking to have these reset. I have 2 apple accounts, one for myself and one for my daughter - as I did not include a rescue email I had to email apple. On both occasions, these questions were reset and an email sent to me exactly 24 hours after I sent them the request. I entered the new details, WROTE THEM DOWN EXACTLY AS I ENTERED THEM THIS TIME, entered a Rescue Email this time and I am good to go again. Simple. Now when I log in and click on "Password and Security" I do have the reset link visable. Apple support are good, they just take a bit of time to get things done, but they always seem to get there in the end. I just wish someone had taken the time to explain this somewhere else in the forum as it would have saved me much time and angst.
To get to the Itunes Express Lane go to this website www.appleid.com make sure the correct country is displayed top right, if not change it. Once this is saved go to the tabs at the top of the screen and click Support. Then halfway down the next page you will see a photo of two random people with a title of Contact Apple Support - Click this. Scroll down until you see the itunes logo, to the right of this you will see the link Express Lane for iTunes Player and iTunes Store - click on this. One the right hand side of the next page click on the link "itunes Store". On the next page click the link "Account Management" check the radio button beside "itunes store account security", select your country from the drop down box and click "Continue". Under the heading MORE OPTIONS, you will see a clickable link called email - click this. Fill in your name, Apple ID and country. Then in the text box, write "I have forgotten the answers to my Security questions, would you kindly please reset them. Thank-You". Then Click Continue, you will be given a reference number and an email is sent to your address advising that generally someone will attend to your request within 24 hours. Like I said previously, I had to do this twice and both times it was reset however it was done within about 5 minutes of the 24 hour cut off, so you will have to be patient. I know 100% that this works for Australia - I am guessing other countries should be similar. Hope this helps someone somewhere!

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Problem with sorting and filtering of table

Hello,
using VC 7.1 SP5 I have created [this|http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/2460/screenshotsr0.png] model. The webservice returns a collection of structured elements. The table is meant to display values of top-level attributes. This works as expected.
However, the table cannot be sorted or filtered. What is the reason for this? How can I fix that?
I tried to store the result of the web service in a data bridge. That did not succeed.
Best regards
Alexander

Hi Natty,
How are you trying to sort it?
I want to be able to sort the table by clicking on the table column headers. Furthermore, I want be able to filter the table by using the built-in table feature. However, table sorting and filtering seem to be disabled for this particular table, whereas other tables in my model provide the desired features.
Best regards

Problem with 'sort and filter' feature of embed codes in Excel Online Web App

So my question has to do with the Excel Online feature where you can share a spreadsheet and embed it in a website with the option of allowing users to sort and filter the data. (The option is under the "Interaction" heading.)
One of the options if you look closely is "Let people sort and filter" which is not checked off. In the embed code you can see "AllowInteractivity=False". The problem is that when I check "Let people sort and filter"
the embed code changes completely - going from:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&wdAllowInteractivity=False&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
to:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
If I manually change 'false' to 'true' that doesn't do the trick so I'm not sure what to try next.
Any thoughts?

Using member sorting and grouping with two reports sharing rows

Hi!
I have a problem with one report and I need some help or advise here.
I have two dimensions with dynamic expansion in rows (PRODUCT, MATERIAL), and I use the option Member Sorting and Grouping at Member selector to obtain the total amount of PRODUCT group by PARENTH1:
PRODUCT               MATERIAL          AMOUNT
TOTAL PROD_A-X                                   100
PROD_A_A             MAT1                          22
PROD_A_B             MAT1                          50
PROD_A_A             MAT2                          28
TOTAL PROD_B-X                                   120
PROD_B_A             MAT1                          30
PROD_B_A             MAT2                          50
PROD_B_B             MAT2                          40
This works fine if I only have one report, but I need to create another one sharing the row and page axis with the Default Report, when I do that the option Member Sorting and Grouping doesn't work. I really need to have two reports with shared rows and also the summation by PARENTH1, how can I do that?
Thank you very much

Sorting and Grouping in Projects View

In Projects view, when either of two of the three grouping options is selected, there are two sorts in effect: the groups themselves are sorted, and the contents of each group are sorted. These sorts are handled differently, depending on the grouping selected and the sort order selected.
(It appears that there is a bit of the old Apple voodoo in here. The results are arbitrary , but they seem to have been carefully chosen to meet most users expectations. That is to say -- and this is an Apple programming trait -- the arbitrariness is faithful to the expected users' needs, not to logic.)
There are four sorts available, and three groupings
Sorts:
. Name
. Date -- Oldest First
. Date -- Newest First
. Library
Groupings:
. Ungrouped
. Group by year
. Group by folder
So that's twelve possible ways to display Projects in Projects view.
Let's look at a few of them. I'm going to refer to the groups as "Year groups" or "Folder groups" and to the contents of the groups as "Projects". So there is sorting of the groups, and sorting of the contents of the groups (same as "within the group"). These I'll refer to as "Groups sorting" and "Projects sorting".
Sort: Date -- Newest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Date -- Oldest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Results are as expected; a reversal of the "Newest First" sort, but with the same groups: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are sorted alphabetically, descending.
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector. (Note that this last is literal: a Project named "Aardvark Close-ups" if it's in a Folder named "Zoography" will be listed after all the projects in "Yellow Paintings" and all the Projects in "X-rays, thoracic" if those Projects are in alphabetical order by Folder name in the Library. You can see all the Projects in your Library listed on the Library tab of the Inspector by "{Option}+clicking" the disclosure triangle next to "PROJECTS & ALBUMS" twice.)
Sort: Date - Newest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, newest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder.
Sort: Date - Oldest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, oldest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector (see note above). Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are listed in the order they appear in the Library).

+I see those icons but note that those projects in folders will be in different sections arranged alpha, and then date within. Am I correct on that?+
The answer is, it depends.
If "Group by year" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be by date, regardless of the sort order specified. The Groups-sorting order will follow whatever is specified for the Projects sort order (or default to "oldest first").
If "Group by folder" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be alphabetical, descending, regardless of the sort order specified. (So if you use Projects view, take care in naming your Folders. Use prefixes if needed to force a desired alpha sort.)
If "Ungrouped" is selected, there are no Groups and perforce no Groups-sorting.
That's all I have to say on this topic (today).

If "Ungrouped" is selected, there are no Groups and perforce no Groups-sorting.
That's all I have to say on this topic (today).

          linearSearch("*", "");
Am very sorry this is long, the file should be sorted after it is loaded and I have that, You can make up some data with last ane, first name, tel and email to show me an example. Thanks alot

Hi Monica, Thanks for you patience with me.
I have tried writing a selection sort method but am having some errors. Could you kindly have a lookand correct me please.
This is the code i wrote
public static void selectionSort(Comparable [] data)
          String strFirstName;
          String strLastName;
          Comparable temp;
          for(int i = 0; i < lastName.length; i++)
               lastName = index;
               for (int j = i; j < lastName.length; j++)
                    if (lastName[j].compareTo(lastName) < 0)
                         lastName[j] = lastName[i];
               //Swap the string values
               temp = lastName[j];
               lastName[j] = lastName[i];
               lastName[i] = temp;
As you requested, below are 4 error messages I had
E:\coursework2.java:101: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable index
location: class coursework2
               lastName = index;
^

               temp = lastName[j];

               lastName[i] = temp;

ModelData and MetaData Mapping in JCo Connection

Hi all
<b>i tried the example given in webdynpro tutorials(Creating a Web Dynpro Application Accessing ABAP Functions)
but i got dout while creating JCo connection
After clicking "Create" button of WD_FLIGHT_MODELDATA_DEST
two radiobuttons of 1)modeldata 2)metadata are comming
if i select modeldata for both WD_FLIGHT_MODELDATA_DEST, WD_FLIGHT_RFC_METADATA_DEST it is giving test sucess but while running it is giving errror as</b>
Error stacktrace:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDTypeNotFoundException: type extern:com.sap.tc.webdynpro.tutorial.model.types.FlightModel:com.sap.tc.webdynpro.tutorial.model.types.Bapisfldat could not be loaded: com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdException:

<b>If i select modeldata for WD_FLIGHT_MODELDATA_DEST and metadata for WD_FLIGHT_RFC_METADATA_DEST it is giving testfails</b>
so can u plz solve my problem

Hi,
Create a new JCO(for both Meta Data,Model Data) connection in Content administrator>Webdynpro>Create JCO destination
and Make use of that Jco.Otherwise check the status of your Meta data.ModelData Jco connection in Content administrator>Webdynpro>Maintain Jco destination.
