Using SDK to create custom XMP panel in Bridge CS4

Using the SDK materials how exactly does one go about creating their own custom XMP panel for Bridge CS4?
I feel like I'm getting close- I was able to copy the BasicControlSamplePanel folder from SDK to my local C drive @
C:\Documents and Settings\tony\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels
I figure once that file is in the right place I can simply modify it to get custom fields
Now when I did this I noticed in Bridge when rightclicked on an image and clicked file info- the  BasicControlSamplePanel tab was visible but upon clicking on BasicControlSamplePanel tab there was nothing in this dialogue box. Tried restarting computer- and still nothing- seems like it is the correct folder what do I need to do to get the properties to show up
Help please
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
please refer to the section "Creating custom XMP properties using XML" in the XMP FILEINFO SDK PROGRAMMER’S GUIDE for information how to create custom panels for the metadata panels in applications like Bridge or Premiere.

  • Creating custom Metadata panels in Bridge CS3

    I want to create a custom panel that allows me to enter 14+ pieces of information about an image that are not contained within the existing metadata panels.
    I can create a custonm panel in photoshop that is seen under 'File info' but I cannot see this information against a file in the metadata in Bridge.
    In the Bridge metadata panels you have individual panels such as GPS, IPTC Core, History, etc. Can I create my own custom panel to add to this list?
    If so how is it done? Where are the custom panel files stored?
    Many thanks

    Hi Bob,
    It seems that almost every day there is a new secret to explore on this forum... :-)
    According to the description in the link you had only a small typo (XML instead of XMP)
    here is a copy of the file locations text from the PDF:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP
    /Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP
    /Custom File Info Panels

  • Using CS3 Web Photo Gallery Control Panel in Bridge CS4?

    I found where the styles are located in the library, and it doesn't look like the old templates will work with the new Output feature of Bridge. I want to use my old templates from CS3 that I have customized, and would like to use them with Bridge. I have installed the extra Goodies, but they will only work through Photoshop, not Bridge.
    Is there a way to have Bridge>Tools>Photoshop bring up the legacy version control panel for the Web Photo Gallery?
    Thank you:)

    Hi Paul,
    I'm not a Lightroom user, but the new Web Photo Galleries that come in CS4 are in Bridge. They are Lightroom templates, so there's probably not much difference. I just tried building a gallery in CS4 Bridge with 35 files, and I could not preview more than 10 either through Bridge or in a browser by pressing the preview button. The only way to preview the entire gallery before uploading was by saving the folder, then opening the index file in a browser.
    Web Photo Galleries can be created in Photoshop and Bridge CS4 just like they were in previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge. You do need to configure it using the optional Goodies files since it is not part of the initial installation. It's real easy. The link I posted above has more information. Here it is again:
    http://generatex.com/cs4.html
    If you do that, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll have the option of creating web photo galleries with html templates in Bridge or Photoshop CS4, previewing them easily (regardless of size), and have the option of using the new Lightroom flash templates in Bridge CS4.

  • Custom XMP panels in Bridge don't properly set language alternative elements

    Using the Bridge Metadata panel, when you edit a custom field that uses the "langalt" type, Bridge doesn't handle this as a language alternative property--it saves the value as a simple text property.
    This was an issue when I first tried it in CS3 with the old custom panel SDK. I was hoping it would be fixed in CS4 but it's not.
    I've defined a custom panel to set the "Event" property from the IPTC Extended schema. This is a "language alternative" property. I've defined the property like this within the panel:
    When you edit the value through the Bridge metadata panel, it generates this for the XMP, saving the value as a simple text property:
    ] The Event
    When you edit the value through the File Info dialog in Bridge or Photoshop (I defined a panel using the generic panel), it correctly sets the element as:
                   An Event
    Is there something I'm missing?

    Thanks for the confirmation. This is a serious and surprising limitation. And if Bridge isn't going to handle complex types properly, it should at least not go ahead and stick invalid data in the field, as it does now.
    I guess the only way to update complex types is to use a metadata template, or another tool.

  • Custom XMP Panel with "pulldowns" in Bridge

    Hello,
    I have a custom XMP panel built that is visible in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, which is nice.
    I can view this custom XMP panel in Bridge as well, however the fields with pulldown menus don't show in Bridge. Being able to use pulldowns is critical for our workflow...AND I want people to be able to use Bridge for metadata entry. Does anyone have a solution for this?
    I want fields with pulldowns in my custom XMP panel to be viewable and editable in Bridge. Help!!
    Thanks
    Rob

    Bridge's metadata panel only supports plain-text fields for custom metadata. See the following article on how to submit and feature request to Adobe via the feature request form:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/800/e8008c68.html
    I assume you already know that you can open the File Info dialog itself directly within Bridge for a selection of one or more files, yes? The same custom File Info panel that appears in Photoshop's File Info panel will appear in Bridge. To open File Info in Bridge, use the File or thumbnail-contextual menus or the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Opt+Shift+I.
    If you really require a highly customized metadata UI right inside the Bridge window (File Info is a modal dialog box), and you are willing to invest some coding effort, then I suggest using Flex Builder to create a custom Flash Panel for Bridge. You will have to take on some non-trivial work to sync up what's displayed/edited in your custom panel with the current selection of Thumbnails, etc., but such a solution should be technically possible. The Bridge Scripting SDK includes example for how to add a Flash panel, how to get your Flash ActionScript and Bridge JavaScript to talk to each other via the Flash External Interface, and how to use the XMPScript API to modify metadata for files. Again, I think the effort required is non-rivial, but Bridge does provide a platform upon which you can build a highly customized solution.

  • Creating XMP panel in Flex CS4

    I'm trying to make a custom XMP panel for Photoshop CS4 using Flex Builder 3.  I just got Flex, so I'm trying to learn it.  I downloaded the XMP fileinfo SDK and was following the directions to open a new XMP panel project.  I've installed the JAR plugin.  After I put in my panel/project name and click finished, it generates the flex code and I get an error stating: There is an error at line 99 of your MXML document: The "TestPanel" tag has invalid syntax.
    Does anyone know what I'm suppose to do?
    Here's lines 98-100:
        <mx:TabNavigator id="fileInfoTabs" width="100%" height="100%">
             <panels:TestPanel id="_customPanel"/>
         </mx:TabNavigator>

    Hi,
    don't worry about this "Error 99", its just a problem of the layout view in Flex.
    It is a bit confusing that there are two classes with the name "TestPanel":
    one is the actual panel and the other a small test programm to debug the panel.
    Please open the other class "com.examples.panels.TestPanel", which is the actual panel you are supposed to extend.
    Sometimes its easier to work in the source code view.
    Hope this helps,
    -- Stefan

  • Custom XMP panels don't show in Bridge CS4's Metadata palette

    I've got a CS4 custom XMP panel working (using the "Generic" panel in the SDK) but I can't get it to display in the metadata palette of Bridge CS4 (the thing normally bottom right in the default Bridge "essentials" view).
    In the old CS3 format, you could do this by adding an "fbname" attribute to fields of the custom panel. How do we now do this in the new SDK?
    The Bridge metadata palette is mentioned on page 25 of the SDK programmer's guide, but the example given is merely of Dublin Core keywords (i.e. dc:subject) so shows in the Bridge metadata palette by default already.

    Following on from this question, is it possible to build up a Metadata panel group of fields drawn from different namespaces? (by group I mean something like the IPTC Core label and arrow which expands into the IPTC fields).
    One would have a heading such as "My data", which when expanded shows x fields from one namespace #1 and y fields from namespace #2. I've tried to do this by leaving the namespace blank and hardcoding it and the prefix into the properties' name argument - eg http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/photoshop:Urgency
    Hope this isn't a hijack!

  • Bugs: open new doc, custom XMP panel crash

    When opening a new document after starting Photoshop, it appears with half a checkboard pattern:
    Drawing on it looks like below:
    I also had an issue where I closed the doc (without saving) after drawing, then opened a new doc. The previous drawing then appeared partially twice (large, and a small version in top left corner) in the new doc, this only happened once though.
    I added a custom XMP panel that works fine with CS5 to $user-dir\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels
    On selecting the custom panel, in the File Info window, the panel window / CS6 crashes. (The grey window in the sshot below is an imprint of the irfanview settings I used to take these screenshots, this imprinting behaviour (not sure if it has a proper name) is reasonably common with crashed programs).

    According to Nvidia's website, I already have the latest drivers installed (I updated them just a few days ago). I turned off hardware acceleration as you suggested, and that fixed the problem.
    You can download the XMP panel that causes the crash from: http://www.iliveinabin.com/image-xmpPanel%20v2.zip That contains the source for the panel and also the compiled panel I'm using, which is in the target folder.

  • Central (web based?) location for custom XMP panels

    We maintain 3 custom XMP panels for a global network of photographers & DAM's. We'd like to be able to update our custom XMP panels (say add new drop down choices,) and have those immediately reflected globally. If Bridge checked a central resource (say a website) for what should be the most up to date version of an XMP panel, we would have an easier time managing the process.

    Yes, the ability to subscribe to centrally-published custom XMP file info panels from CS apps would be extremely helpful, and since the CS4 panels are just XML files, a simple mechanism such as a subscription to an RSS feed would probably do the trick.

  • Add support for custom xmp panels

    Please add support for custom xmp panels.
    Thanks

    I would strongly support that too!!!
    Here is why: We have been working at an XMP implementation of the Darwin Core to support standardized metadata on biodiversity information. Have a look here. I would love to have an Panel in Lightroom to support the metadata that I am embedding with IDImager:

  • Can I create a custom XMP panel but using the exact same fields from standard XMP panels?

    Hi,
    I am new to XMP and not very technical, so please excuse me if this sounds like a stupid question!
    I have managed to create my own custom panels for Photoshop using the Generic Panel method with my own custom fields and they work fine. However what I need to do now is create a custom panel that uses the exact same fields from some of the standard panels. The reason being is that I have 4 fields that need to be integrated into another non-adobe system (Extensis Portfolio) that recognizes standard XMP fields, but at present these 4 fields are spread across different standard panels and it would be much easier for the user in Photoshop if they were all together on one panel.
    An example field is the "Additional Model Info" field that currently resides on the standard IPTC Extension panel. If I fill in a value in this field on a JPEG then open the the image in Extensis Portfolio, then the field is also filled in in a field called IPTC - Model Info, displaying a key of Iptc4xmpExt:AddlModelInfo.
    Is there a way I can take this standard field and use it on a custom panel, so that it can still be filled in in Photoshop and the value viewed in Extensis Portfolio? Sure I can create a custom panel and create a field called "Additional Model Info" but I can't figure out how to connect it to the corresponding field in Portfolio. I tried changing the  xmp_property name="Iptc4xmpExt:AddlModelInfo" but this just broke the panel.
    Is what I am trying to do possible and if so how and can it be done using the Generic Panel method?
    Many thanks!

    I am trying to do the same thing but with only the IPTC Keywords field. Searching everywhere but no luck.
    Thanks!

  • Help creating custom XMP file for Photoshop CS5

    I was wondering if there is anyone out there that would be willing to help me create a custom XMP file for Photoshop CS5. What I need is very simple, I really just don't know how to go about creating it myself.
    Feel free to email me at [email protected]

    Hi Robert,
    please have a look at the "Generic Panel" example of the File Info SDK.
    Using that you only need to create a simple XML-file to create a simple custom panel.

  • Custom XMP Panels in Framemaker

    Is it possible to modify the fields that are shown in the File Info screen within Framemaker? I would like to add new fields that are specific to my workflow. This is possible in other Adobe applications such as Illustrator and Acrobat. It does not seem to be possible in Framemaker.
    I am using Framemaker version 7.2 on Windows XP
    --mike

    You can add a custom FileInfo panel as documented in the file you can obtain at
    Basically, you define property names and specify where the values are stored in an XMP packet. The FileInfo panel does the rest.
    This is the same mechanism that Photoshop uses to add all those IPTC panels.
    Any panels you create will be visible in all the Adobe applications that use the common FileInfo dialog code. The host application doesn't need to know about them.

  • Custom XMP Panels not working in CS4

    I'm trying to develop my first Flex based XMP Panel for CS4.  I'm on Windows Vista.
    I downloaded the SDK (4.4.2) and created a panel, it compiles and previews fine with Flex Builder 3.
    If I add the panel to CS4 (manually or through Flex Builder 3) then the Panel just shows up blank in the PhotoShop FileInfo window.  Many of the other panels also appear blank until I remove the panel.
    I tried copying the sample panels that came with the SDK and they all show up as blank and most of the other default panels are blank too.  Basically, any custom panels cause the FileInfo dialog to stop working properly.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Dear forum user,
    usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
    WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
    MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
    The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
    Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
    Kind regards
    Jörg

  • Is there any alternatives to Configurator for creating custom Photoshop panels?

    I've been using Configurator for quite some time now in order to improve my workflow; having custom panels is huge to me.
    So I was surprised that Adobe decided to stop supporting flash panels, starting with version CC 2014. I want to update Photoshop to CC 2014 but am unable to do so due to my custom panels (which DOES NOT work in said version!!): I would be handicapping myself by upgrading the software.
    I've looked around for alternatives, but so far I haven't found any decent replacement to Configurator for creating HTML5-based panels. I know about PsTools but it appears to be limited to Tools only, and I need to both create a custom toolbar as well as custom panels for my most used filters and selection -actions. Also I know there's an API for creating HTML5 panels now, but I'm a 3D Artist - not a C++ programmer.
    So what exactly are the alternative here?
