XMP files not being created with DNGs...

I'm used to using Bridge with ACR to process Nikon NEFs. But a recent camera update has me experimenting with converting the D3's NEFs to DNG files and editing them with CS2 and Bridge 1.04 which works better on my system. I've also experimented with CS3 and Bridge 2.1.1.9 with the same DNG files.
In both cases XMP files are not being created when working with DNG files. I have enabled "Save image settings in : Sidecar ".xmp" files" turned ON. But they do not seem to be generated and I assume the ACR adjustments are being embedded in the DNG file. Meanwhile doing edits on NEF files continues to create .xmp files as expected.
I find .xmp files to be very useful and I'm wondering why they're missing with DNG files? Are they hiding somewhere other than in the same folder that the images reside in?
Thanks.
Russell

> The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
Thanks for the help Kees :-)

  • XMP Sidecar Files not being created.

    I have selected the tick box in the preferences, but when importing files the XMP data files are not being created, any ideas??? Also can they be automatically created at a latter date?

    James-
    They are created now only for RAW files. The xmp data for the other formats is now written into the files themselves' header space, either automatically, or when you tell it to, which you set in Prefs.

  • IOR files not being created

    I'm currently experimenting with using the InDesignServerService (windows service) as our means of starting and managing instances of InDesign Server.
    I seem to have it working for the most part but the IOR files are not being created and I cannot figure out why. I have been messing around with the command line arguments in the InDesignServerService MMC for quite some time with no luck. The instances seem to startup fine and show "running" in the event viewer info message.
    Command line arguments used -
    -pluginpath Server/Corba -iorfile c:\IDSQueues\Default\ior1.txt -previews
    I've made sure the account the service is running under has writes access to the ior file path. I truely don't know what else to try or why this is happening.
    Any help would be great! thanks!
    FYI
    Using InDesign Developer Server CS5 (for testing) on Windows 7 64bit.

    Thanks for the response.
    However, this will not work because I am using InDesignServerService to startup the instances. With the service, there is a field to specify a port number in so you do not include it in the command line.
    Also, I have tried specifying this in the Command Line argument as well -
    InDesignServer -pluginpath Server\Corba -iorfile c:\IDSQueues\Default\ior1.txt -previews
    InDesignServer.com -pluginpath Server\Corba -iorfile c:\IDSQueues\Default\ior1.txt -previews
    I've also tried
    InDesignServer -iorfile c:\ior.txt -pluginpath Server\Corba
    which is what the Intro to InDesign Server PDF says to use and it does not work.
    I have tried many variations and nothing works.  The IOR file is still not created.
    I'm still trying to solve this, any help would be great!
    Thanks,

  • CcmEval Scheduled task not being created with "Access Denied" error 0x80070005 only on XP machines

    Before coming on here I checked out http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ddbfe6c3-ee54-4b2a-a3a7-a6515d974f76/client-check-failed-on-xpserver-2003-systems-onlyccmeval-is-not-being-scheduled?forum=configmanagerdeployment (GPO
    to allow scheduled tasks by users) and another thread about a hotfix that seems to be pre-XP SP3 and pre-CM 2012 R2.
    That said, I'm having an issue many seem to have, but I can't find the answer. From what I understand SCCM uses the user context to create the CcmEval task, but in XP users cannot set a task to run as any other user (ie SYSTEM in this instance) so what is
    the workaround? I can't just give users Administrator permissions to install the client.
    The exact log entries are:

    The bolded section is what's telling me it's Access Denied, and manual creation of any program task set to run as SYSTEM tells me the same- users cannot do this; only admins can.
    What can I do?

    So after sifting through some RSOP results and GPO objects I found a policy that wasn't necessarily prohibiting creation of them. (Not where you think it would be - under
    Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Task Scheduler > "Prohibit New Task Creation" -
    this was set to allow them) but this one I found was a File Permissions policy that set SYSTEM permissions to READ and EXECUTE.
    I've changed this to FULL CONTROL for SYSTEM. I'm unable to get on the machines to examine everything closely, but from what I can see at least one of them has remediated themselves and now has a successful client check in the console. Hopefully the rest
    of them will come around as GP updates itself and the client does an evaluation to remediate the Scheduled Task.
    Hopefully this helps someone in the future as well.

  • Auto Save folder not being created with new project

    Just recently I've noticed that when I start a new project there is no auto save folder being created.  I have all preferences the same (auto save every 10 min with a max of 50 and save next to project files).  I have no idea why this started or what I can do to fix it. 

    So it seems to be working now.  I went back through other projects that have been open for some time and the most recent auto save file I could find for any of them was from Oct. 8th.  So auto save hasn't been working at all.  What I did was go into preferences and change the interval a little and the frequency from where I had had it since intial set up.  That seemed to have told it to turn it back on for some reason.  It's really weird.  I guess I'll just keep an eye on it, but people may want to check there folders just in case the same issue is happening.  I didn't realize it until today and it's been happening for a couple of weeks apparently.

  • Cannot publish get error message - log file not being created

    When trying to publish a FlashHelp project, I get an error
    message window that says "Publishing has been cancelled. Failed to
    create file: (project name).log "
    When I click okay in the message window, the publishing
    process stops. However, if I look in the SSL folder, I see the log
    file. It is a text file.
    I had this problem in January 09 but it seemed to be an issue
    with the password and path in the FTP command window. I fixed it
    and it worked fine. However, I haven't published since the end of
    January. Now, when I try to publish, it is giving me the same error
    message. I checked and reviewed the FTP window fields and they are
    fine. But I'm still getting the error message and can't publish.
    Why?
    I need to get this problem fixed ASAP and ensure that it
    doesn't occur again. What's strange is that I've got 3 other
    projects and this is the only 1 that gets this error message.

    Yes, the generation worked. I checked the log file that
    worked from the time it worked before and it seems to be the same
    as the log file that is generated when I get the error message.
    I created a new FlashHelp layout and got the same error
    message. What's really weird is there is a log file in the SSL
    folder but when you click OK in the error message, it stops the
    publish function.
    Last time I had to blow away the cpd file as if this was a
    corrupt project. But that gets to be painful. As I use templates to
    put change dates in the footers of topics and templates get lost
    when you blow away the cpd.
    Any other thoughts?

  • SQLAudit Files not being created on SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise

  • CVS problem: Entries file not being created

    I am using Flash Builder 4 Standard. Connecting to CVS, it had been working correctly  but now when sharing a project it isn't working. It creates the project in the repository but doesnt include any of the files. Looking in the actual project files (in finder) it has created a CVS folder correctly but only has 'repository' and 'Root' but not 'Entries' which I assume is the problem. These are the steps I am taking (which was working...)
    Create new project
    File > New > Project
    Complete all fileds including path to the project files. Fla, and .as files.
    Do all the work I need to, and is finished. So I want to share the project to the team.
    Right click on the project in 'Package Explorer' window > Team > Share project...
    Select the CVS repository, (the connection works as I see all the projects listed)
    Select 'use project name as module name'
    Next > enter password > Finish
    At this point I used to get another dialogue window appear to be able to add comments and finalize the commit. But now for some reason nothing happens. No errors or anything. When I look in the repository the folder is there but it is empty.
    Does any one have any idea how I can fix this? It is most strange and very frustrating! Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Help with WMA Audio book files not being compatible with Droid 2

    I am trying to download a ebook that is in Overdrive Media Console onto my droid x2.  When I try to transfer onto my droid, it says the format of this title(WMA Audiobook) is not compatible with the Motorola MB870 USB device. (MOT)  Is there a 3rd party app that I can use and if so , how do you use it. 

    Hi Lb1964,
    You should be able to find an application in the market to get eBooks on your Droid 2. I would recommend going to the market and search, using the keyword "Books." You can also follow these steps in the device itself. 
    Google Ebooks
    Find it: > Books
    To browse and select books, touch Get eBooks.Browse by category, or touch and search for a title or author. Touch a book to view more information about it. Touch Get Sample to get a free sample. To buy a book, touch the displayed price. After you confirm the purchase, the book is added to your library. Flick left and right to see more books in your library.

  • Inbox folders not being created from msf files

    Last week, I noticed that my Inbox folder files weren't appearing in my profile. I posted a generalized question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/996903
    The response I received didn't help that much. The folder I created appeared on the remote mailbox as empty folders.
    My mail account is synced via IMAP to a remote Zimbra mail client using STARTTLS. I can view my Inbox. The other folders in my Inbox account are not visible. I can send and recieve messages from my INBOX.
    When I select "Manage folder Subscriptions" In the account options, I can see the folders. When I select them, and click the "Subscribe" button, nothing happens.
    Inspecting my IMAP directory, I see the following structure:
    ~/.thunderbird/13zr0oo0.default/ImapMail/mail.<zimbra_account>.com:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 1238 May 2 10:38 Archives.msf

    The msf files are created when I click the "Subscribe" button but subsequent Mail files containing the mail data are not (note that non-msf files exist only for "INBOX".)
    Removing .msf files and restarting Thunderbird has no affect.
    When I launch, the errors console reports the following three errors:

    I'm not sure what that means.

    Is your question about files not being created, or because you cannot send and receive mail, or both?

  • Troubles with xmp files not loading...

    I'm having troubles with xmp files not loading with images but are present in the image folders. does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix this. Also when trying to load the xmp individually they are grayed out and unable to load. I have tried this on different machines (Macs) and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this issue.

    > The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
    Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
    When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
    So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
    I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
    Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
    Thanks for the help Kees :-)

  • [QUESTION] File CONOTRL.SQL is not being created!!

    Dear experts,
    I am doing a Java refresh from our production to our development system.
    I have first restored the oracle 11 database. As it is NetWeaver 7.3 EHP1, it
    should be possible to do a refresh or system copy using the backup/restore
    method, which according to SAP is supported for v. 7.3.
    Afterwards, I started SWPM for NetWeaver 7.3 in order to do a target system
    installation, in order to manage the mess with the java IDs.
    Though this installation is asking for a file, named CONTROLSQL or CONTROL.SQL
    (both names are mentioned in different parts of the same screen!! How
    confusing, dear SAP !!!)
    Then at the bottom of this infamous window, there is an explanation, that the file
    is being created during the source system export preparation.
    Grrr, fine!! I went to the source system, inflated quickly another SWPM there, did
    the export preparation and... GUESS WHAT !! No CONTROLSQL or CONTROL.SQL
    file!! Nor in the install directory (which I have separate - not /tmp), neither in the
    export location. And I even searched in /tmp and nothing like this !!
    Now I am exporting the entire source system while it is running !! (can't shutdown
    the production!). Where is this file pleasseeeeee...???
    I have done the same procedure on another project with MSSQL Server and it
    went flawlessly without any control sql-files!!
    Thanks a lot for your help!!

    Hi Symon,
    Note: As a part of backup/ restore process we create a new control.sql file using the command
    SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    Rename this trace file to control.sql and place it in target system.
    Please check the installation log folder for file CONTROL.SQL SAP installer checks for this file in installation log folder.
