Use generated file metadata in export name

When exporting it would be useful to have access to metadata about the exported file (horizontal and vertical resolution as well as the name of the export preset used) to include in the export file name.
e.g. {filename}-{ExportVertSize}x{ExportHorizSize}" for "image-800x600".
e.g. 2 {filename}-{ExportPresetName} for "image-6x4PrintQuality".
Thanks,
Stephen

I am not familiar with "export layers to tiff" – or do you mean »Export Layers to Files«?
What exactly are you trying to achieve anyway?

IMovie 11 - Export Using Quicktime - File Disappears after Export......

Hey everyone:
I've got a weird one here. I've made my first project using iMovie. I want to burn a DVD, so I clicked >>Share >> iDVD and it comes over fine. I then setup a menu and stuff and burned it. However, when I play it on my 52" plasma, it doesn't fit correctly. It fills the screen, but it's almost like it's zoomed in so it cuts off of ALL edges.
So I did some research and found this post and went to try it out. So within iMovie, I click "share using Quicktime" and change some of the various settings and export the movie as a Quicktime (.MOV) file to my "Movies" folder. The movie is about 55 minutes, it says it'll take about 35 minutes to export.
35 minutes later I come back and the export box has closed, iMovie is still open, just like it should be, and the file I just exported is nowhere to be found. It just disappears. The second and third time I tried, I open a Finder window and watch the file get created, then get larger, and larger. But once it's done, the file is gone.
So then I created a new project and made a movie that was only 10 minutes long. It exports fine and the file is there when it's done. In other words, I can't replicate the problem with a new project. However, I have a lot of time in editing this movie and don't want to start over for fear of finding the same result.
What should I do?
Thanks!

I have this same problem and there are several threads running about it. I have the paid-for version of iMovie, and cannot even get it to export a Quicktime movie. This makes it even more useless than I already find it to be. I spent the last two days working on a video, and for me to send it to my client, I would have to freight my computer to them so they could view it.

"Use Preview Files" works in CS5.5 but is "Useless" in CS6

I'm a heavy user of the "Use Previews Files" option when exporting files. This has worked great with Premiere CS5.5 but using the same method in CS6 no longer works and reverts back to rerendering the original files in the timeline and rerendering all the effects on them which is very time consuming since the original files are HD and are being downscaled in a DV widescreen timeline.
Anyone figure out how to get Premiere CS6 to correctly find the preview files when exporting using the "Use Preview Files" option?
In the meantime, I had to load all the preview files I had rendered back into a new timeline and reassemble them in the correct order. Once I did that, I exported this 1 hour 38 minute timeline to an MPEG-2 file which only took 19 minutes instead of the 7 hours it would have taken even with the "Use Preview Files" on and with a fully rendered timeline.
Again, it works great in CS5.5 so something changed in CS6 to make the "Use Preview Files" useless now.
Randy

OK, decided to do a simple project and test the preview files. One HD AVCHD video clip, 24 minutes long. Dropped into a DV widescreen project and the video clip downscaled to match the project. Added a color correction filter, Shadow/Highlight filter and Sharpen filter. Cut the clip into 4 pieces and adjusted the color correction on each. This will generate 4 preview files. This is basically what my larger project involve but with many more video clips.
Did not render timeline or make any preview files then exported an MPEG-2 file. Took 35 minutes.
Rendered timeline which produced 4 preview files in the DV AVI format. Took 1 hour.
Exported an MPEG-2 file again but this time selected "Use Preview Files". Took 35 minutes.
Exported a DV AVI file (same format as the Preview files) but this time selected "Use Preview Files". Took 35 minutes.
Imported the 4 DV AVI preview files and put into a new sequence. Exported an MPEG-2 file using no preview files. Took 3 minutes.
Imported the 4 DV AVI preview files and put into a new sequence. Exported a DV AVI file using no preview files. Took 1 minute 30 seconds.

Custom metadata fields used in file name?

Hi,
Is it possible to add to the list of meta data fields that are used as tokens for file names?
I've been using Rob Cole's excellent custom meta data in the library module and now I want to use these fields to name the file during export...
While at it, is it possible to add the same custom meta data fields to the info view overlay in develop mode?
Cheers,
Bonny

1. Its possible an export filter (post-process action) could be defined that supports the custom metadata for export filenaming (Lightroom itself does not have any other hooks I'm aware of) - dunno if anyone's done that, yet.
2. I think not (see PM).

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

Unable to generate WebService Client with Exported (BAPI) WSDL file from XI

Hi there,
I, trying to setup a simple Web Service environment where I'll be exposing a BAPI as Web Service via XI.
So these are the steps I followed:
1) first I imported the BAPI meta data into my SWC in the repository. 2) Second I defined my interrface etc.. 3) Third I exported the generated BAPI WSDL file. 4) Fourth, I tried to generate a Java proxy/client for my Web Service using a Java IDE (IBM WebSphere Application Developer and XML Spy).
Now the problem is that Im not able to generate the Web Service client using the exported WSDL file, the WSDL seems not to be valid...From the generated errors in the IDE, I can see that the problem has to do somewhere/somehow with the WSDL Binding element, which input parameters do not match the input parameters of the port type.
This is a small part of the WSDL file as generated by XI:
 <wsdl:message name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Input">
 <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/>
 </wsdl:message>
 <wsdl:message name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Output">
 <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Response" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/>
 </wsdl:message>
 <wsdl:portType name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.PortType">
 <wsdl:operation name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS">
 <wsdl:input message="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Input"/>
 <wsdl:output message="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Output"/>
 </wsdl:operation>
 </wsdl:portType>
 <wsdl:binding name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.SAPBinding" type="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.PortType" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
 <s0:binding style="rfc"/>
Has anyone faced a situation like this before? Any clues where to look? I appreciate any feedback, thanks!
Rob.

Hi Rob!
I'm facing the same problem - how did you solve your issue then? I'm getting following error during generation on .NET side:
============================================================================================
Error: There was an error processing 'http://server/wsdl/MIAMI_ACCDOCPost.wsdl'.
- The document at the url http://server/wsdl/MIAMI_ACCDOCPost.wsdl
was not recognized as a known document type.
The error message from each known type may help you fix the problem:
- Report from 'DISCO Document' is 'Discovery document at the URL http://server/wsdl/MIAMI_ACCDOCPost.wsdl could not be found.'.
- The document format is not recognized (the content type is 'content/unknown').
- Report from 'WSDL Document' is 'There is an error in XML document (2, 70138).'.
- Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: name
- Report from 'XML Schema' is 'The root element of a W3C XML Schema should be <schema> and its namespace should be 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'.'.

Filespaces in generated file names - unfortunate

I'm trying to upload all the files generated by an export to directory. Many of the auto-generated file names use the name of a page (which is displayed in the navigation - so i don't want to remove the spaces).
This creates files with blanks in the name, and most FTP implementations will choke on this.
#1 - this should be fixed
#2 - does anyone have a workaround for managing this?

Spaces are not valid in web pages. If used, they have to be escaped with %20
If you want to change the names of files before trying to use them with some web publishing program, this shell script might be of use. It changes spaces to _ makes upper case letters lower case, etc.
#!/bin/bash
# Pete keeps giving me photos with bad file names
for i in *
do
OLDNAME="$i"
NEWNAME=`echo "$i" | tr ' ' '_' | tr A-Z a-z | sed s/-/-/g`
if [ "$NEWNAME" != "$OLDNAME" ]
then
TMPNAME="$i"_TMP
echo ""
mv -v -- "$OLDNAME" "$TMPNAME"
mv -v -- "$TMPNAME" "$NEWNAME"
fi
done

How-to Generate Script from the export dump file

Hi all,
Software : Oracle 10gR2/Windows 2003
=============================
Has anyone generated a Script from a export dump file ( exported via data pump export). I know it is possible to generate script from the regular export.
I want to know how to generate the script for various objects or is it possible to get the counts of types of objects in the dump file and / or generate the script from the export dump file exported via data pump utility on Oracle 10g.
Thanks,
SS

I want to know how to generate the script for various objects.what do you mean by scripts? Assuming the metadata definitions of various objects.
First of all, you can generate the metadata definitions using import.
Use, Impdp with SQLFILE parameter to generate the SQL file for the metadata definitions.
Refer to

Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when generating a schema using flat file schema wizard.

I have a csv file that I need to generate a schema for. I am trying to generate a schema using flat file schema wizard but I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error when I am clicking on the Next button after
specifying properties of the child elements on the wizard. At the end I get schema file generated but it contains an empty root record with no child elements.
I thought may be this is because I didn't have my project checked out from the Visual SourceSafe db first but I tried again with the project checked out and got the same error.
I also tried creating a brand new project and generating a schema for it but got the same error.
I am not sure what is causing Null Reference exception to be thrown and there is nothing in the Windows event log that would tell me more about the problem.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 for my BizTalk development.
I would appreciate if some has any insides on this issue.

Hi,
To test your environment, create a new BizTalk project outside of source control.
Create a simple csv file on the file system.
Name,City,State
Bob,New York,NY
Use the Flat file schema Wizard to create the flat file schema from your simple csv instance.
Validate the schema.
Test the schema using your csv instance.
This will help you determine if everything is ok with you environment.
Thanks,
William

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

Here's some info on working with plists:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/Introduc tion/chapter1_section1.html
They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

In the header file generated by javah, the package name is not in the funct

and in the header file generated by javah, the package name is not in the function declaration:
/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
/* Header for class VocalJNITest */
#ifndef IncludedVocalJNITest
#define IncludedVocalJNITest
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
* Class: VocalJNITest
* Method: JNI_1myJNI
* Signature: ()V
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_VocalJNITest_JNI_11myJNI (***please not there is no package name in it****)
(JNIEnv *, jclass);
#ifdef __cplusplus
#endif
#endif
In the VocalJNITest.java file, I put package com.jni.test in it, why dose it not appear in the VocalJNITest.h file.

it works,
thanks alot, but java really confuses me, for example, if i run the app, i need to type the complete name java com/...../jnitest, in which the "/" is used instead of
". " like com.vocal.jnitest as the package name in the source file.
but when using javah, i need to use ". " instead of "/";
i tried com/vocal/jnitest, but failed so i post the question here.

How to use trigger file functionality in File Adapters - Match file names

Hi,
I am using trigger file functionality in File adapters to pick up data files as:-
<property name="TriggerFilePhysicalDirectory" value="/pub/Dev/eastern/brs/"/>
<property name="TriggerFile" value="*.trg"/>
Here any file with .trg extension is taken as a trigger file and File adapter randomly picks up one of the data files.
My requirement is that the trigger file will be of the same name as that of the data file like:- <data_file>.data <data_file>.trg
How to implement this feature using trigger file functionality of File adapters??

The trigger file is any file that indicates(triggers) that the actual data file has been put in ftp location, i.e- determines the state when data file should be read.
This helps usually when a large data file is being transferred and at that incomplete state the FTP adapter tries to read it(which is not desirable)
It is configured when you create the ftp adapter service in your process(in wizard) or u can manually configure that in the JCA file for the FTP Adapter service as below:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<adapter-config name="FlatStructureIn" adapter="File Adapter" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
<connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter" UIincludeWildcard="*.txt" adapterRef=""/>
<endpoint-activation operation="Read">
<activation-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.FileActivationSpec">
<property.../>
<property name="*TriggerFilePhysicalDirectory*" value="/tmp/flat/ArchiveDir"/>
</activation-spec>
</endpoint-activation>
</adapter-config>

What kind of database the SSMA uses to store metadata in the file named "source-metabase.mb" ?

What kind of database the SSMA uses to store metadata in the file named "source-metabase.mb" ?
I'm looking for the method to open the file and add 'cutom migration script' (some automatization).

Hi Poman.Pokrovskij,
When you generate SSMA Assessment Report, there are several files created and saved into Report folder under your SSMA project folder. It includes
source-metabase.mb, project-container.mappings, preferences.prefs, and so on.
. MD files are usually saved in plain text format including inline text symbols, defining how a text is formatted such as the indentations, its table formatting, fonts, and headers.
SSMA provides a project setting that allow you to customize how to set customized database migration. For example, to customize data migration SQL statement, you can modify project setting by navigating to Tools and choosing Project Settings,
then looking for the setting for
Extended Data Migration Options and change the value to
Show. You can select use custom select and modify the SQL statement.
For more information about SSMA for Oracle, you can review the following articles.How To Perform Incremental Data Migration Using SSMA:

Generate file names randomly

are there anyways to generate file names randomly? if there are, are there any reference codes i could refer to? thanks.
heard that using random characters from ascii code (generating random numbers and translating them into chars) could do the job but i am rather new to it. can anybody advise me on how to go about it? thanks.

There is a method called createTempFile in the java.io.File class for this purpose. I suggest you use that one.

Missing file number suffix metadata when exporting

Hello All,
I export files from Lightroom 2 (LR2) using custom filenames that include file number, i.e. "Original number suffix", metadata. This metadata is not being picked up by the export module and will therefore not be included in the exported filename. This happens with files that have been edited in Photoshop (CS3), but not with the original DNG files.
So if I have a master file named "Davison-20080809-1234-Master.psd", I in Lightroom 1.x (LR1) I set up a custom filename scheme in the export dialogue box that will export the master as "Davison-20080809-1234-BW-Web.jpg", or similar. This has worked with no problems to date.
In LR2, when I look at the Example field under File Naming in the Export dialogue, I see only "Davison-20080809-BW-Web.jpg"--the original number suffix is missing along with one of the hyphens around it. When I create a custom file naming scheme with only the "Original filename suffix" metadata in it, it shows "_.jpg" in the Example field.
It looks like maybe two things are happening.
In LR1, if a piece of metadata was missing, it would still export a filename with all the hyphens around the missing data, so I would get "Davison-20080809--BW-Web.jpg" if the number suffix were missing. Someone probably tweaked that in the new version of Lightroom so that the unsightly double hyphenation would not appear. So this doesn't look like it's related to the problem.
The second thing that appears to be happening is that Lightroom 2 is either not exporting (in file metadata) or not tracking (in the LR catalogue) the number suffixes. I've looked for the number suffix in Photoshop's metadata and it's not stored in the metadata at all. When I copy a Photoshop file with a suffix that does export correctly in LR2, rename the file "Test-20080809.psd" and import it into LR2, Lightroom parses the date (YYYYMMDD) as the number suffix and "20080809" is what I get when I export that file. This indicates that LR1 and LR2 store the number suffix in the catalogue and for some reason LR2 is not preserving the number suffix in the catalogue metadata when a file is edited in Photoshop.
So has anyone else run into this problem? Or is someone interested in reproducing it? It looks like a bug to me.

I'm also running into this same problem. For what it's worth, when I import my RAW files (as DNGs), I rename them using a naming scheme which looks like the following:
(2008-08-13) -019- (7108).dng
This scheme is created with the following elements (separated by line-breaks):
custom date formula
import number
original file suffix
In Lightroom 1, I had no problem. Now, I'm wondering if the parenthesis after the end of the file suffix is what's causing Lightroom 2 to think that there is no suffix?
