The Tagging Story gets Dicey!

The following conditions are relatively common with regards to tagging (and exclusion of these conditions in the software, a possible cause) :
tags can contain more than one word
tags can overlap resulting in words that are associated with more than one tag
Visually, this might look like this:
Ridiculous! But it helps to demonstrate the following issue. Using the above (absurb) script segment , lets say that the GREEN items are tagged as physical props and the BLUE items (scentence) represents a VFX sequence of shots. This means that:
GREEN (props) = FRUIT CART, ROCKET WINGS, THRUSTERS and BLUE (VFX) = "The FRUIT CART, sporting ROCKET WINGS, THRUSTERS and a glass canopy, shoots through space. Laser blasts explode behind."
So far, so good...Now lets export out a CSV. This is what I would expect:
TAGS
TAGGED
PROPS
FRUIT CART
PROPS
ROCKET WINGS
PROPS
THRUSTERS
VFX
The FRUIT CART, sporting ROCKET WINGS, THRUSTERS and a glass canopy, shoots through space. Laser blasts explode behind.
HOWEVER, this is where things gets DICEY because this is what I actually get:
TAGS
TAGGED ITEM
PROPS
FRUIT CART
PROPS
ROCKET WINGS
PROPS
THRUSTERS
VFX
d a GLASS CANOPY, shoots through space. LASER BLASTS EXPLODE behind.
VFX
ROCKET WINGS, THRUSTERS and
VFX
The sporting
Deal breaker? No. But at 3:45 in the morning, I have little patience for cleaning up the mess
Additional information that may be of assistance (see my previous post "Tags are Crash-Tastic!").

You make a good point. This is something we'll put on our backlog to fix.

How do I get the tag of a selected line in a tree control ?

I am running LabVIEW 7.1.
I want to be able to add a parent or sibling to a tree to a selected item in a tree.

The tag of the selected item is actually the output of the tree control itself. If you create an indicator from the tree control, you will get a duplicate tree control (indicator), but if you wire the output into a string indicator, the tag of the selected item will show up. You can an item to the tree by wiring the tree reference into an invoke node, calling the method "Edit Tree Items: Add Item", and wiring the output of the tree control (which will be the tag of the selected item) into the "Parent Tag" terminal. This method will only let you add a child to an item, you cannot add a parent or sibling. Items cannot have multiple parents, so it wouldn't make sense to add a parent; and to add a sibling for the selected item, you could call the method "Navigate Tree: Get Parent" and pass the tag of the parent into the "Edit Tree Items: Add Item" method.

Issue with setting the tag "Bld_localDestDir" in pre-build VI: Project gets saved to previous localDestDir.

Hey All,
I'm writing a pre-build VI that updates the build destination (and other items, but we're ignoring those for now). This pre-build vi, when run, grabs the Destination Directory from the tag "Bld_localDestDir" and modifies the directory by incrementing a version number.
The issue I'm having is that after the pre-build vi is run, the build continues and puts the executable in the *previous* Destination directory instead of the updated one.
Example:
Destination Dir = c:\temp\version1 --> Choose to build the executable --> Pre-build VI runs and sets Destination Dir to c:\temp\version2 --> Build finishes and says "You can locate the build at C:\temp\version1" --> Check the build properties, destination dir is C:\temp\version2 --> build again --> Pre-build runs and updates destination to version3 --> Build finishes and says "you can locate the build at C:\temp\version2" --> check build properties, destination dir is C:\temp\version3
And so on and so forth. As you can see, the tag setting is working (as witnessed by the Build Properties being updated). However, it looks like the destination directory for the build is determined and set *before* the pre-build VI is run. This is, in my opinion, not intended behavior.
Here's a snippet of a watered-down version of the code, which still has the issue. I've also attached the full VI, saved for LV2010.
The attached VI will grab the version number of the build, append it to the startup vi's title bar, update the build destinations with a new path that has the version number, and then save the project.
As a final note, I'd prefer to not use a post-build VI to rename the directory that the build is placed in.
Solved!

Cool, thanks for confirming that I'm not crazy. And no, I haven't found any documentation concerning this phenomenon.

Good to know. I think this should be in the documentation somewhere though, perhaps in the detailed help for the Get/Set Tag invoke nodes for a Build Spec reference.
To fix the issue, I've just made my own "Build Executable" vi that sets the tags before the build is started. It uses the same VI that I attached earlier (confirming that the VI works). Instead of starting the build from the project window and having a pre-build vi execute, I run this stand-alone VI and it builds the app.

Index file share with pictures - how to get the "Tag" property as refiner?

Hi,
I'm indexing a folder in file share and in the windows explorer view i gave values to the "Tags" property.
Now i want to set it as refiner in search results. I see that SharePoint gets the properties of: file name, size, picture height, picture width, author... how to get also the properties of Tags? and Dimensions?
keren tsur

Hi keren,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add some refiners based on pictures’ properties in SharePoint 2013 Search.
Firstly, do a full crawl for the content cource.
For the ‘Tags’ refiner, go to the results page, click on edit page and edit the refiners web part, then choose the Choose Refiners picker. Now add the TAGS field to the right hand column.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/23690.sharepoint-metadata-tag-refiners-not-displaying-in-sharepoint-2013office-365-search.aspx
SharePoint indexes an item based on list/library columns. However, for the Dimensions property of pictures, SharePoint library cannot retrieve the property from pictures . So when crawling, the property cannot be crawed as a crawled property, you are not
able to add it as a refiner in Search. When you use Picture Library, there are Picture Size, Picture Width and Height columns, you can create refiners based on these three columns. You can check them in Crawled properties(CA->Search Service Application->Seach
Schema).
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

How do I get rid of xml tags but not when the tag has copyright in it?

I tried this but it does not seem to do anything:
temp_string=temp_string.replaceAll("\\<.*?(!copyright)\\>", "");An example of this is that if I have: <meta name ="copyright" > I do not want to get rid of the tag. In other words, I do not want to get rid of any tags that have the word "copyright" in them, but I want to get rid of all other tags.

Also if I want to include license as well do I just do: str = str.replaceAll("<(?![^<>]*(copyright|license))[^<>]*>", ""); Is that correct?Yes, you can do the same thing with all three regexes. Now, explanations:
"<(?![^<>]*copyright)[^<>]*>" This regex does one lookahead, scanning forward for the word "copyright" before beginning the actual match. It's a negative lookahead, so if the word is seen, the lookahead fails and so does the overall match. If the lookahead succeeds, the match position is returned to where the lookahead started and the real matching begins.
A naïve approach would use ".*" or ".*?" in the lookahead, but then it would be free to scan past the end of the tag and find the word in the next tag or halfway through the document; lookaheads are slippery that way. But I used "[<>]*", so once it reaches the closing ">" it stops scanning.
That means, for every successful match the regex scans the whole tag twice--once for the lookahead and once "for reals". That won't be a problem in most cases, but if you're matching many large chunks of text, performance could suffer. Each of the other regexes only traverses the tag once. "<(?:(?!copyright)[^<>])*>" This one steps through the text one character at a time, at each position doing a negative lookahead before matching the character. That sounds like a lot of work, but in the vast majority of cases the lookahead will only have to look at one character before yielding.
"<(?:(?!copyright|[<>]).)*>" This is basically the same as the second regex, but it does all the real work in the lookahead. I don't recommend it; it's less readable and probably less efficient than the second regex. But both the second and third regexes can be made more efficient by using [possessive quantifiers|http://www.regular-expressions.info/possessive.html] (that whole site is highly recommended, by the way): "<(?:(?!copyright)[^<>])*+>", "");
"<(?:(?!copyright|[<>]).)*+>" The first regex can use a possessive quantifier, too, but not in the lookahead: "<(?![^<>]*copyright)[^<>]*+>"

One showing metadata has been changed and one showing metadata is not up to date. No matter what I do it is not showing in LR that it is saved. I spent 2 days with Seth Resnick trying to correct this and we re created my catalog. It was ok, until I imported new images and same problem. Now I have a new problem, when I bring image to PS it saves it but does not bring back to LR. Am I the only one out there who has this problem?

How to get the tag name of HTMLDocument?

I am now using JEditorPane to display and edit a html file.
My code is like this:
kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
doc = (HTMLDocument) (kit.createDefaultDocument());
editor.setEditorKit(kit);
editor.setDocument(doc);
editor.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
editor.getDocument();
[editor is the class JEditorPane, doc is HTMLDocument, kit is HTMLEditorKit]
When a user clicks on the pane, it's easy to me to get the caret position. However, how can I get the tag?
For example,
<p><font class="book">I am a boy.</font> Hello! </p>
On the pane, the position between "I am a boy" is clicked, I want to get the name of the tag - "font". Moreover, how can I get the class - "book" also?
Moreover, can I get the <p> tag also?
Many Thanks!
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
is it possible to get the EditorKit from the EditorPane and then get the ViewFactory for the editor kit.
Since u have the some tags of the elements hardcoded in the HTMLEditorKit.HTMLFactory it will be handy i guess.
Let me know whether it helped or not so that either same method be approached or some other has to be tried.

How to get the tag name into javascript

Hi,
Is there any way to get the tag name into java script when user clicks on.
For eg: if i use netui:anchor tag, how can I pass the tag id to the javascript when user clicks on the link using onClick attribute. This tag id needs to be evaluated at run time.
Ex code is given below.
function fun1(){
// how to get the tag name;
<%
String st="hai";
%>
<netui:anchor action="x" onClick="fun1()" tagId="<%=st%>>
I want to get this tagId (st) to the java script function fun1() when user clicks on this link. How can I do that. can you please help in this issue.
Thanks,
Satish.

Hi,
You can set the java variable as a js variable at run time:
<script>
var anchorName = <%=getNetuiTagName%>;
function fun1()
var anchorID = getNetuiTagName(anchorName);
alert(anchorID);// this will show the rendered ID for the anchor specified
</script>
this works because the jsp variable will be rendered before the js.
Thanks,
Steve

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Is there a way to force the Tag Engine to dump its input buffer to the database?

I have an application where I start a process and log the data, and then call a subVI that uses the Read Historical Trend VIs to get all of the data from when the process started until now. The problem is that the Historical Trend VIs only read from the database on disk, and the Tag Engine's buffer doesn't write to disk until it's full (or possibly times out; I'm not sure about that, though). Is there a way to force the Tag Engine to write to disk, so that the Historical Trend VIs will return the most recent data?
Shrinking the buffer will help a little, but that will only result in missing less of the most recent data. One possible hack is to have a dummy tag that I simply write enou
gh data to that will cause the buffer to be written to the database. I was hoping for something more elegant, though.

That's a good question.
The control about the datalogging and the DSC Engine is all done (more or less) automatically - you feel the NI ease-of-use idea
That means the Citadel service (one of the NI Services installed by LabVIEW DSC) is responsible of taking care about the datahandling (writing to and reading from the database files including caching some data e.g. index files, frequently used data...).
The DSC Engine makes a request to the Citadel service that this data has to be logged. Everything else is handled by the Citadel service. Internally, there are two kinds of logging periods handled through the Citadel service. One for traces being viewed (a small period: 200ms) and one for traces not being viewed (slow (big) log period: 20000ms). That
means, if Citadel gets a request to store a value it will buffer it and store it as soon as possible depending on other circumstances. One depends on the fact if this trace data is being viewed (e.g. with Read Histroical Trend.vi) If you request/read to view a trace you should pretty much see the current values because citadel should use the fast log period.
The Citadel service takes care as well about setting priorities e.g. the writes before the reads (We don't want to loose data - right?). That means if you really stuff the system by writing a lot of data the CPU might get overloaded and the reads will happen less often.
If you really want to see "real-time" data I would recommend to use the "Trend Tags.vi". With this approach you avoid the chain DSCEngine-Output Buffer-CitadelService-InputBuffer-File-HD... and back.
I hope this info helps.
Roland
PS: I've attached a simple VI that has a tip (workaround) in it which might do what you are looking for... However, Nationa
l Instruments cannot support this offically because the VI being used are internally DSC VIs that certainly change in the next version of LV DSC... and therefore you would need to "re-factor" your application.

How can i write also to xml file the settings of the Tag property to identify if it's "file" or "directory" ?

The first thing i'm doing is to get from my ftp server all the ftp content information and i tag it so i can identify later if it's a file or a directory:
private int total_dirs;
private int searched_until_now_dirs;
private int max_percentage;
private TreeNode directories_real_time;
private string SummaryText;
private TreeNode CreateDirectoryNode(string path, string name , int recursive_levl )
var directoryNode = new TreeNode(name);
var directoryListing = GetDirectoryListing(path);
var directories = directoryListing.Where(d => d.IsDirectory);
var files = directoryListing.Where(d => !d.IsDirectory);
total_dirs += directories.Count<FTPListDetail>();
searched_until_now_dirs++;
int percentage = 0;
foreach (var dir in directories)
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(dir.FullPath, dir.Name, recursive_levl+1));
if (recursive_levl == 1)
TreeNode temp_tn = (TreeNode)directoryNode.Clone();
this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker( delegate
UpdateList(temp_tn);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
foreach (var file in files)
TreeNode file_tree_node = new TreeNode(file.Name);
file_tree_node.Tag = "file";
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(file_tree_node);
numberOfFiles.Add(file.FullPath);
return directoryNode;
The line i'm using to Tag is:
file_tree_node.Tag = "file";
So i know what is "file" then i make a simple check if the Tag is not null then i know it's a "file" if it's null then it's directory.
For example this is how i'm checking if it's file or directory after getting all the content from my ftp server:
if (treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.Tag != null)
string s = (string)treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.Tag;
if (s == "file")
file = false;
DeleteFile(treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.FullPath, file);
else
RemoveDirectoriesRecursive(treeViewMS1.SelectedNode, treeViewMS1.SelectedNode.FullPath);
I also update in real time when getting the content of the ftp server xml file on my hard disk with the treeView structure information so when i'm running the program each time it will load the treeView structure with all directories and files.
This is the class of the xml file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Xml;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public static void DeserializeTreeView(TreeView treeView, string fileName)
XmlTextReader reader = null;
try
// disabling re-drawing of treeview till all nodes are added
treeView.BeginUpdate();
reader = new XmlTextReader(fileName);
TreeNode parentNode = null;
while (reader.Read())
if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
if (reader.Name == XmlNodeTag)
TreeNode newNode = new TreeNode();
bool isEmptyElement = reader.IsEmptyElement;
// loading node attributes
int attributeCount = reader.AttributeCount;
if (attributeCount > 0)
for (int i = 0; i < attributeCount; i++)
reader.MoveToAttribute(i);
SetAttributeValue(newNode,
reader.Name, reader.Value);
// add new node to Parent Node or TreeView
if (parentNode != null)
parentNode.Nodes.Add(newNode);
else
treeView.Nodes.Add(newNode);
// making current node 'ParentNode' if its not empty
if (!isEmptyElement)
parentNode = newNode;
// moving up to in TreeView if end tag is encountered
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.EndElement)

parentNode = parentNode.Parent;
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration)
//Ignore Xml Declaration
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.None)
return;
else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text)
parentNode.Nodes.Add(reader.Value);
finally
// enabling redrawing of treeview after all nodes are added
treeView.EndUpdate();
reader.Close();
/// <span class="code-SummaryComment"><summary>
/// Used by Deserialize method for setting properties of

/// <span class="code-SummaryComment"></summary>
private static void SetAttributeValue(TreeNode node,
string propertyName, string value)
if (propertyName == XmlNodeTextAtt)
node.Text = value;
else if (propertyName == XmlNodeImageIndexAtt)
node.ImageIndex = int.Parse(value);
else if (propertyName == XmlNodeTagAtt)
node.Tag = value;
public static void SerializeTreeView(TreeView treeView, string fileName)
XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter(fileName,
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
// writing the xml declaration tag
textWriter.WriteStartDocument();
//textWriter.WriteRaw("\r\n");
// writing the main tag that encloses all node tags
textWriter.WriteStartElement("TreeView");
// save the nodes, recursive method
SaveNodes(treeView.Nodes, textWriter);
textWriter.WriteEndElement();
textWriter.Close();
private static void SaveNodes(TreeNodeCollection nodesCollection,
XmlTextWriter textWriter)
for (int i = 0; i < nodesCollection.Count; i++)
TreeNode node = nodesCollection[i];
textWriter.WriteStartElement(XmlNodeTag);
textWriter.WriteAttributeString(XmlNodeTextAtt,
node.Text);
textWriter.WriteAttributeString(
XmlNodeImageIndexAtt, node.ImageIndex.ToString());
if (node.Tag != null)
textWriter.WriteAttributeString(XmlNodeTagAtt,
node.Tag.ToString());
// add other node properties to serialize here
if (node.Nodes.Count > 0)
SaveNodes(node.Nodes, textWriter);
textWriter.WriteEndElement();
And this is how i'm using the class this method i'm calling it inside the CreateDirectoryNode and i'm updating the treeView in real time when getting the ftp content from the server i build the treeView structure in real time.
DateTime last_update;
private void UpdateList(TreeNode tn_rt)
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - last_update;
if (ts.TotalMilliseconds > 200)
last_update = DateTime.Now;
treeViewMS1.BeginUpdate();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Clear();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Add(tn_rt);
TreeViewXmlPopulation.SerializeTreeView(treeViewMS1, @"c:\XmlFile\Original.xml");
ExpandToLevel(treeViewMS1.Nodes, 1);
treeViewMS1.EndUpdate();
And when i'm running the program again in the constructor i'm doing:
if (File.Exists(@"c:\XmlFile\Original.xml"))
TreeViewXmlPopulation.DeserializeTreeView(treeViewMS1, @"c:\XmlFile\Original.xml");
My question is how can i update the xml file in real time like i'm doing now but also with the Tag property so next time i will run the program and will not get the content from the ftp i will know in the treeView what is file and what is directory.
The problem is that now if i will run the program the Tag property is null. I must get the ftp content from the server each time.
But i want that withoutout getting the ftp content from server to Tag each file as file in the treeView structure.
So what i need is somehow where i;m Tagging "file" or maybe when updating the treeView also to add something to the xml file so when i will run the progrma again and read back the xml file it will also Tag the files in the treeView.

XML data contains linebreaks in the tags - won't work with Flash

Hello. I have a Flash file that draws upon an xml file for content. When I try to create that xml file using an Adobe Designer 7.0 pdf form, I get line breaks in the tags. You don't see them in Internet Explorer XML viewer but you do see them in Notepad or phpDesigner. Anyway, these linebreaks cause the xml file to be unusable even when the Flash file is supposed to ignoreWhite. Does anyone know of a way to stop these linebreaks from occurring? Thx

threejay10,
thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
