Truncated keywords

Hi,
I gave a try to Aperture3, and imported a few pictures tagged in Bridge and/or ExMedia.
My keywords are fine in both apps.
But in A3, some fields are missing (the 'place' location field in IPTC field is empty in A3, for instance), and some keywords are truncated (first letter missing, words splitted and messed up, etc..).
My workflow is as standard as possible (DNG files, use of IPTC fields, etc..). I use hierarchical keywords, but this doesn't has anything to do with the IPTC fields issue, so...
Another question : I don't see any ''people' or 'event' field in A3 ?
My guess is that Apple is targeting iPhoto users, not 'standard' Adobe and ExMedia users... I don't see how the latter could consider to use Aperture if they lose their metadata, adjustments, etc..
Did I miss something ?
Thanks

I can't answer all of your questions.
Regarding the missing fields Aperture can't display them all at one time. In the Metadata View you can build your own metadata Sets. Click on the two little arrow heads that point up and down Aperture has a built in selection to choose from. Allan

TRUNCATE TABLE does not work in PL/SQL - Why?

Hey there!
Is there any issue with truncate table not working inside an PL/SQL package?
For example this function:
PROCEDURE FLUSH_TABLE(vi_table_name VARCHAR2) IS
vn_table_name VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
vn_table_name := UPPER(LTRIM(RTRIM(vi_table_name)));
TRUNCATE TABLE vn_table_name;
END FLUSH_TABLE;
returns the following error msg:
Error: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "TABLE" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ;
The symbol ":= was inserted before "TABLE" to continue.
Line: 5926
Text: TRUNCATE TABLE VN_TABLE_NAME;
Can somebody explain me the problem here? In my point of view, the error msg is not quite right ;)
Regards,
Thomas

> I just think the error msg is confusing
When you looked for TRUNCATE in the PL/SQL reference you might have noticed that the PL/SQL language has no TRUNCATE keyword. The error message indicates that syntactically the code appears to be some sort of variable assignment but has an extra keyword and no assignment operator. You would get the same message for any similar string of unrecognised keywords:

The root cause is in the error ora-1426, which you can look up in the online error documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com . No one knows every error message by heart. This means it is expected you look up the error prior to posting, and you don't expect any volunteer in this forum to look up the error on your behalf.
Also this is a typical candidate for being a known problem, and known problems can be found on My Oracle Support.

Privilege revoked on a table - SQL*Loader-926: OCI error

During recent maintainence activity , a table was exported & imported , deleted , truncated & dropped.After the activity an user lost its privilege on the table and a job related to this table has been failing with the below error

Keyword list is truncated about 1/2 way through alphabet

My keyword list (LR 3.4.1) in the Library is truncated about 1/2 through it. I can only see into the P section of the alphabet. My keyword list is flat, not hierarchical.. From what I read this is either a feature OR a BUG since at least version 1.x.
Is there a solution to this BUG yet? If so what?

Lightroom has a limitation of showing only something like 1603 keywords in the keywords list. Appearantly this is a Windows limitation, or a lack of LR dealing with a Windows limitation.
If you see something like 1603 keywords, this is what your problem is. As a workaround, I suggest a very simple alphabetical hierarchy. Create a keyword called "A". Then select all the keywords that start with A and drag them into the new A keyword. Repeat for B-Z. Then double-click each of the letter keywords, and uncheck "Include on Export".

RH8 HTML suddently generating truncated CHMs

I typically compile a new.chm file for my project once or twice a week. Yesterday, the chm I generated came in at 1975 kb. The previous one, created three days earlier for the same project, was 47,489 KB.
RH displays no error messages and does not crash. However, when I attempt to open the .chm from its network file location, IE tells me that "This program cannot display the webpage." The same message appears when I attempt to open the file from my desktop.
In studying the knowledge base, I thought that perhaps that the microsoft html help.ssl file might have been corrupted. So I used RoboServer 3 > History, to roll back that file to the date on which I last created chm successfully. I updated my version locally. But to no avail.
I created a new SSL layout and generated a chm with it. No luck there either. I've rebooted multiple times in the process.
My version is fully updated. I tried generating a webhelp file. That worked out just fine. My file name standard has been consistent: JOH 1.13__numeric_date.chm.
My project has a couple of broken links, but I don't imagine that could cause this issue.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

Update to my preceding response...
After many additional hours spent reading forum posts, I took advantage of three suggestions that I found -- successfully. I was able to generate a new .chm without additional issues after implementing the following steps:
1. I changed the output location to my desktop. The idea was to shorten the length of the path.
2. I made sure the output name corresponded to the project name. I had previously used an abbreviated file name for the output.
3. I cleared approximately 10 of 12 broken links.
I subsequently checked out everything in my project and checked it back in to RoboServer. This may have been pointless, but I wanted to be sure that all updated content was stored.
Parenthetically, after fixing the broken links and saving the project, RH crashed. This occurred many times before I figured out that there was a glitch involved, thanks to a post on Peter Grainge's website under RH > RH8. He identifies the issue and proposes a workaround that involves a fix from within the Index Editor. The only problem I see with this is that my broken links have nothing to do with indexed keywords. In fact, I haven't even built an index yet.
I have not previously had this sort of problem when fixing a broken link and I would welcome clarification of the issue and the fix.
Many thanks to all who have tackled these issues previously and posted their results.
end of update
Beginning of original post:
The chm is generated on my C drive. It won't open whether published to the a network file or to C:/...ssl. I am able to successfully open chms created on or prior to 1_15_10, from the network or my C:/ drive.
My local path is C:/Documents and Settings\gmichaels\My Documents\RoboServer Projects\Javelina Online Help_13\!ssl!\Microsoft_HTML_Help.
Yesterday, the output view reported: Fatal Error: Unexpected error from Microsoft HTML compiler. Finished compiling HTMLHELP in 482 sec(s) Compilation complete.
I downloaded all pertinent MS updates last afternoon. However, that doesn't seem to have made a difference. Today, I find that RH closes itself without warning at the end of the compilation process.
I know about network related issues, but I don't believe that applies here. The truncated size of the chm file and the fact that it won't open seem to be related issues as they occur only in tandem and only since 1_19 (the first time).
Thanks much

PDF indexing of Word.doc Keywords: kind of disappointing

If we could embed document properties like Keywords in Word, and then convert Word.docs to PDFs , and then index the PDFs using Acrobat Pro, theoretically it would allow for lightning-fast keyword search and review, through a zillion PDFs.
Except, there are unexpected glitches that are either undocumented... or, if the documentation exists, it's either hard to find or too scantily worded.
Here's a few things I've observed, using Windows XP, Office 2007 and Acrobat 8 Pro:
1. Word document properties only transfer over to PDF if you use the Acrobat tab in Word's ribbon to generate the PDF via PDFMaker, which apparently invokes some 'more robust' implementation of Distiller, than occurs if you simply use the print dialog to print to PDF. THIS IS PROBABLY A BIG SOURCE OF USER CONFUSION THAT DISCOURAGES MANY USERS FROM GOING ANY FURTHER WITH EXPERIMENTING WITH PDF INDEXING OF WORD DOCUMENT PROPERTIES. IT CAN LEAD YOU TO CONCLUDE THAT NONE OF THE WORD DOCUMENT PROPERTIES EXCEPT FOR TITLE, CAN SURVIVE A PDF CONVERSION.
2. When you invoke PDFMaker, when the "Save Adobe PDF File As" dialog appears, you must click on the button at the bottom that is labeled "Adobe PDF conversion Options' and verify that the "Convert document information" check box is checked. (This may be able to be set as a permanent user preference somewhere, but I'm not quite sure where.)
3. The Properties fields in Word that will come over, include Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords. (The Comments field is ignored, as far as I can tell.)
4. You can now index the PDFs, and these Properties fields will also be indexed.....well, Sort Of.
5. "Sort Of", because if you then search for any of the text in your Properties fields, (like for example you search for a word or phrase that you've embedded in their Keywords fields), the advanced search result won't be displayed quite the way 'found hits' normally display in a PDF index search results screen. You may expect to see the contents of those Keywords fields, show up in the search results in a long list of 'found' file icons with ALL (or a generous selection) of their surrounding Keywords also displayed, and with the specified found keyword highlighted in BOLD.
But, that's not what happens. What you really get is an icon showing the contents of the Title field (which you didn't search for.) It basically means that Acrobat has found a document with something you searched for, in it....but Acrobat is not going to show it to you as easily as you are accustomed to seeing it. You only have two choices: (1) either hover your mouse over each found file's Title icon, one by one, until its screentip-type popup window appears, showing you all the contents of all four of that document's Properties fields; or (2) click on the icon, display the PDF, go to File Properties, and observe that file's properties dialog box.
This is disappointing: the fast, easy, contextual lookup advantages you've enjoyed with regular PDF index searches appear to be unavailable when it comes to viewing search results on indexed document properties. I can understand the logic; (why show other keywords surrounding the searched-for keyword? If they're not in a sentence, there's really no contextual relationship, and therefore no reason to show them.)
However, what if users wanted to store logically related keywords in a deliberate organized pattern..ie,
Texas, Car, 1999, Ford, Mustang, Green
Texas, Car, 2000, Ford, Mustang, White
Texas, Car, 2000, Ford, Mustang, Yellow
Texas, Car, 2000, Chevrolet, Corvette, Blue
Ohio, Car, 2006, Honda, Civic, Silver
...etc.
In this context, all keywords are logically related; it could be a big advantage to be able to use PDF Index search to instantly find and view a list of all 5,328 White 2000 Ford Mustangs located in Texas....then pop up their insurance.doc PDFs for further details.
Allowing the user to set a preference to 'show all stored propery values in the search results' instead of an arbitrary length string of surrounding values, could also be very helpful, so that the full information depicted in the above example could actually be fully displayed, not arbitrarily truncated.
I guess the only workaround is to forget Word's Document Properties, and just embed keywords within the document itself, such as maybe at the end of the document, maybe colored white (so they can't be easily seen). Formatting them as hidden text doesn't work; Acrobat ignores hidden text when you convert from Word to PDF.

I seem to get hard returns in all cases. That is why I had the short answer. I do not remember if saving as a DOC got rid of the hard returns. Of course the simplest way to find out is to try it. I went to another machine and the Save As to a DOC file did not put in the hard returns (cut and paste did). I should note that the PDF was produced from a totally different word processor and was not a WORD native document. That would suggest it is not dependent on the tags that can be included by WORD and PDF Maker.

Assign substitution variable to another substitution variable with truncation of value

I launch a sql*plus .sql script by way of a concurent job. The concurrent job provides a date paramenter to the script. Job log shows the date passed to scrpit as:
Arguments

For cosmetic purposes in the ouput's heading, I want to convert/truncate the character string to an end-user format of 2013/09/01.

Hi,
SELECT ... INTO only works in PL/SQL.
In SQL*Plus, you can use COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE, like this:
DEFINE low_date = '2013-09-01 00:00:00'
COLUMN low_date_10_col        NEW_VALUE low_date_10
SELECT REPLACE ( SUBSTR ( '&Low_Date', 1, 10)
                )    AS low_date_10_col
FROM dual;
PROMPT Variable value is: &Low_date_10

How does one handle Stock agencies that only allow 64 characters for keyword lists

since LR4 puts the keywords in alphabetical order the keywords would be truncated and my most popular keywords would not make it to agencies search engines. Anybody know of a way to put the most powerfull keywords up the front. Or do I need to edit keywords specifically for this agency thus doubling my work.

The Enet-485 contains several levels of buffers which impact how flow control works. When you write data from the PC the data buffer is transmitted to the Enet-485 where it is stored to be transmitted out of the desired port. In addition to deep software buffers, the Enet-485 also has a deep (128 byte) hardware FIFO that lays just above the physical (RS-485) layer.
This FIFO is "RTS/CTS" sensitive and can react (ie: "turn off") very quickly in response to RTS/CTS handshaking. However the software flow control (XON/XOFF) is handled by the Enet-485 firmware. Thus if the TX FIFO has more then 5 bytes and an XOFF is received, it is not possible to turn off the serial stream until the FIFO is empty, which causes a data overrun.
The reason why wait
ing between bytes works (but is slow) is that at any time an XOFF character is received, the FIFO will contain less than 5 bytes and thus not overflow.
However, if you know the size of the receive buffer, then is it possible to send data in lagre (40k) chunks with a slight pause between to allow for the XOFF to be received and processed? You can guesstimate the timing based on the baudrate, buffer size, and network delay (typically ~100ms but can be more).

Set_context is truncating my string?

I have a procedure where I receive several parameters and buid a query based on this params:
IF keyword IS NOT NULL THEN
     dbms_session.set_context('PESQ_CTX', 'keyword', keyword);
     query := query || 'CONTAINS(ed_fotos.detalhe, sys_context(''PESQ_CTX'', ''keyword'')) > 0 AND ';
END IF;
As far as I can see when I register the keyword variable using set_context, the variable string is truncated. Keywors is a mixt of several comparisons: '({SANDY} within description OR {SANDY} within headline etc... )'
When the variable string is large, it is truncated and the variable looses the closing parentesis, causing an Oracle text error:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-50901: text query parser syntax error on line 1
Is there anyway to avoid this problem? Does the variable registered has a limit of 255 characters? Using short variables I dont receive any error.
If I build the query without the context it works, but set_context should improve the performance
IF keyword IS NOT NULL THEN
     --dbms_session.set_context('PESQ_CTX', 'keyword', keyword);
     query := query || 'CONTAINS(ed_fotos.detalhe, ''' || keyword || ''') > 0 AND ';
END IF;

The default return size for sys_context is 256.
if you need more than that, you need to provide the optional third parameter, the length (up to 4000)

Headings and labels in iTunes screens truncate...

Hopefully these screen shots show the problem...headings and on-screen descriptions of features are truncated, with sentences or keywords being cut off followed by "..."
In the above example, observe the itune DJ screen, and the words "Always in con..." next to one icon, then "Make a requ..." in the other.
Below when my iPad is attached, in this instance the Music Tab screen shows truncated labels again, "Sync Mu..." and "Include music vi..."
I'd love to know what they want to include...but I can't read it!
Changing screen resolution doesn't help either.

Expand keyword list

I love the keywords in Lightroom.
I use the smart collections a lot with keywords but is it possible to expand the keyword sets.
Now it is only possible to put in 9 keywords in each set.
In some sets I need more options.

It's a problem with how the list was coded in Lightroom which involved a failure to code around a limitation on the Windows platform. Lists of keywords longer than around 1600 items are truncated. I don't think you'll see a quick fix for it, but I hope it will happen in LR4.
As a workaround, put your keywords into a simple hierarchy.

Keyword Bugs and Some Keywording Improvement / Feature Suggestions

Tagging Bugs and Some Improvement / Feature Suggestions
Please excuse where I should use the word Tag or Keyword or vice versa!
1.       BUG?    If a tag synonym is added or changed then all affected photos should be marked for re-publish. I do not think this currently happens.   Should this possibly be considered a bug?
2.       BUG?    When viewing a smart collection in a Flickr publish service and a new tag is added to a photo it is correctly moved to the “requires re-publish” section.   However … the thumb selection in the grid moves to the next photo, the loop view remains on the photo just tagged and the key wording still reflects the just tagged photo.    The selection shown in the grid appears to be wrong.      When working quickly this can result in tagging errors as the user looking on the grid believes he is working on the next highlighted photo in the grid.      This is surely a bug?
3.       BUG?      A minor point and I realise this is probably not the correct way to do things … but a double word synonym entered with quotes for example “Ice Climbing” will create two tags “Ice” and “Climbing” at the flicker end of things.    Removal of this synonym and forcing a re-publish does not delete these two tags at the flicker end of things.    I may have miss-understood, but perhaps it is best for LR not to allow quoted tags?
4.       SUGGESTION      An easier and more powerful way to review tagging of current photos should be provided whereby it is possible to clearly see the current tagging of a photo and have immediate access to the keyword list at the same time to make corrections.    Having both the Keywording and Keyword List panels open in Library mode results in a lot of up and down scrolling for me and is a slightly inelegant UI in my opinion.   I would suggest it should at very least be possible to have the tags viewable in Loop info as an option - so long as no truncation is made and all tags visible.    Ideally a better way should be sought.
5.       SUGGESTION      It would be very useful when reviewing tagging to select to show all photos in the currently selected folder or set which do not contain the selected tag.    Note, I don’t think this can be easily achieved by using a keyword filter and selecting all keywords and unselecting the tag of interest as the pictures may have many tags.    The same might be performed by textual based searches but this is inelegant and its slowness precludes a browsing approach.     For example – for me it would be useful to look at all my mountain shots in a trip which have not been tagged with “Glacier” and it will be immediately visually apparent where I need to make tagging corrections.    I would suggest a “Not” checkbox is made available on the top of each column in the library filter – this may also provide a great deal of power for other situations.
6.       SUGGESTION      It would be useful to allow a means of showing all pictures with a certain tag but which have not been tagged yet with any children of said tag.   For example all pictures tagged with Glacier which I have not yet named the glacier by introducing a relevant child tag or selecting an existing child tag.    A similar situation occurs for wildlife and potentially many other scenarios … I would like to use a tag “Butterfly” which I can quickly use on my first pass… and then do the identification and child tagging on a second pass using appropriate filtering.   This allows for a step wise or “top down” approach to tag classifying things in a workflow.    I appreciate this can be achieved (as I do now) by using a child tag called “Unnamed butterfly” or “Unnamed Glacier” but it seems more powerful, elegant and generically applicable to be able to filter on a “not tagged with a child” basis.
I apologise if I have missed the point on some existing functionality on any of these points and welcome any suggestions.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.
