Xmp metadata searchable on mac os x server 10.5.6?

we have 5 mac pro's that are connected to a NAS via Xserve running Mac OS X 10.5.6 server. we've started using the xmp funtionality in adobe photoshop. on the 5 local clients, searching via spotlight, we can find files using the info typed in the xmp metadata portion of photoshop. however, when we store that same file on our NAS, searching the nas from one of the mac pro clients doesn't recognize the xmp metadata. all of the local macs are on the same os version (the latest one) and spotlight indexing is enabled on the Xserve. is there a way for the xmp metadata to be searchable when searching the NAS from the local clients?
thanks

Same issue here. I even tried to import the cert directly into keychain. I did get the certificate to show up in server admin with the correct signed info, but when I assigned a service to the cert. It actually was handing out the old unsigned cert, so I removed it to try again. Now I cannot get the cert back in server admin at all, just in Keychain under SYSTEM. The self-signed certs only show up under My Keychains... It appears also that Server Admin will only see the certs that are located in MyKeychains. Anyone have any luck?

Adobe xmp metadata searchable on osx 10.5 server?

i'm not sure if this is the right category for this. we have 5 mac pro's that are connected to a NAS via Xserver running Mac OS X 10.5.x server. we've started using the xmp funtionality in adobe photoshop. on the 5 local clients, searching via spotlight, we can find files using the info typed in the xmp metadata portion of photoshop. however, when we store that same file on our NAS, searching the nas via the finder search box doesn't recognize the xmp metadata (i'm told we can't use spotlight because it only works on the local machine...even if that's not true, i tried it and it doesn't find the files). all of the local macs are on the same os version (the latest one) and spotlight indexing is enabled on the Xserve. is there a way for the xmp metadata to be searchable when searching the NAS from the local clients?
thanks

Just to let you all know... I came across this now, and will try it out tonight and confirm if it works or not

Can I automate the writing of XMP metadata into JPEG and TIFF files?

I have written an ASP.NET 3.5 website application on behalf of an annual international photographic competition. Entrants will be uploading digital photos in either JPEG or TIFF format. Ideally, I would write entrant identity and image title information into the XMP metadata for each image immediately after upload - but so far, I have failed to find any way to do this in ASP.NET.
Thousands of images are involved, so I need to find a way to automate the metadata insertion, perhaps with some sort of script that uses a text file (extracted from the SQL Server database on my website) as the source of the metadata for a batch of images. Is this the sort of task that can be done by writing a script for Bridge CS3? Are there any scripts already in existence that I could use? I am a total beginner in this area.
I use a Win XP PC, though I have a colleague who, I think, has CS3 on his Mac (running under the Leopard OS), so scripts for either platform might be usable.

Viewing XMP Metadata in Adobe Bridge via Adobe Drive Connector

Hi there,
I've been trying to view remote file XMP metadata in Adobe bridge via our adobe drive connector. I've added the READ_XMP_METADATA capablitiy, and I've seen the DataType.XMP has been requested. but I'm not sure how to display the metadata on the Adobe bridge metadata panel. since the metadata is embeded in the file, when i browse the file in local drive, the metadata shows fine, but when it's on our remote server, some how bridge doesn't extract the info and display it. I can see the metadata when I browse the remote file in windows explorer adobe drive. and we do download the file to local to a temp copy, browse the temp copy in bridge also showing the metadata, The only thing not working is browsing the remote file in bridge via adobe drive connector.
Please advise what should be done, in the programmer's guide, it says for each item, request that the server return the XMP data for that asset. How should I do that? If the XMP is embeded in the file, why would I need to request for it, would it be automatically extracted from the file?
Thanks,
Katherine

XMP metadata from Premiere Pro

I have installed on Mac OS X:
Extension Builder 3 in Eclipse
Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CC
Working on basic example extension project I want to exchange XMP metadata to/from Adobe Premiere using ExtendScript.
I added line to load XMP library in .jsx file, but it doesn't work:
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
I also tried to extract AdobeXMPScript.framework file from Adobe Bridge installation package contents, and load it by ExternalObject, but again with no result. It seems environment doesn't know what ExternalObject is.
Is it possible to work with XMP data in extension? If yes, what I need to add/install to make it work?

The XMP data returned by projectItem.getXMPMetadata() contains all marker info for that project item. To confirm this, add some markers containing unique text strings to a clip in Prelude, import it into PPro, then getXMPMetadata() on it; you'll find your text strings in the returned XMP data.
You will need to parse the XMP on your own (or using an XML parser of your choosing), to extract that project item's marker data.
We have a feature request for "XMPScript support in PPro's ExtendScript engine"; I'll add your name to the list.
Feel free to contact me directly regarding any PPro integration development;

XMP Metadata Error when creating PDF/A-1b

Hello,
I just started using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac to create PDF/A-1b documents from scanned TIFs. I created a script in the Action Wizard to 1) Combine Files into a Single PDF; 2)Downsample image resolution to 150 ppi (bitmaps to 300 ppi); 3) Recognize Text;4) Pause to find all suspects and make corrections to incorrect OCR; 5) Convertto PDF/A-1b (sRGB); and 6) Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b.
When I use the Action Wizard to to execute the script above I receive an error message stating "Metadata does not conform to XMP." However, when I execute each of the actions manually I do not receive the XMP metadata error. It takes a long time to execute each action manually, so I am hoping there is some way to make this full script work in the Action Wizard.
I have an open case with Adobe regarding this issue, but so far no solutions.

I do not receive an error when the "Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b" action is removed from the script. Does this action have to be performed separately to avoid the XMP metadata error?

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

How do you import (or convert) XMP metadata into iPhoto '08?

Having recently made OS X my primary operating system, I switched from using Picasa/Windows Photo Gallery on Vista to catalogue my photos to iPhoto '08. However, the 7,000+ pictures I have all have XMP metadata tags. None of them show up in iPhoto '08 after import. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to having to retag 7,000+ pictures in iPhoto.
I know people in various forums, here and elsewhere, have said that iPhoto '08 does not do XMP at all. Is this true? Is there a workaround or plugin? I find it weird that XMP has been an open standard since May, and 6 months later, there isn't a plugin or solution, especially from Apple. Unless I am just daft and missing something obvious, which is entirely possible.
At any rate, I would really appreciate any help in me not having to retag over 7,000 pictures...thanks in advance!

mrbofus:
Do you still have the PC and the photos on it? If so you might look into the demo version of iView MediaPro and see it if can read those Picasa files and embed the metadata into the files like it can when reading an iPhoto library on the Mac platform. If it can, you'll be able to write the metadata to the files and bring them over again to the Mac and import into a new library. This is only speculation as I'm not conversant in Windows at all.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Automating XMP Metadata in Illustrator CS4

How do I use actions or scripting within Illustrator CS4 on the Mac to automatically copy all of the text within an Illustrator pasteboard and paste it into the Keyword XMP Metadata field under File Info.
I've tried Select/Text objects, then Copy (Cmd-C), File Info (Shift-Cmd-Opt-I), Paste (Cmd-V after clicking in the Keyword field), OK.
It works fine manually, but the File Info sequences are not saved in the action.
Thanks for any help I can get.

I guess this is not feasible via Actions, but possible through JavaScripting. You may try that. Hope information helps.

Exporting/Sharing Custom XMP metadata schema not possible?

I've written a Python script which automatically encodes Quicktime files which I've mastered out of Premiere Pro CC with embedded custom XMP metadata (created using "New Schema" in the Metadata Display panel). I'm using the embedded custom metadata to drive the Python script (e.g. "Spot Title", "Client Name", fields etc etc), which encodes the source QT file to several different formats, based on the delivery specifications of various local TV broadcasters which the encoded files will go to.
Everything about the XMP metadata entry/writing/parsing is fantastic. My only hitch is in the exporting/sharing of the custom metadata schema which I created for this purpose. I would like to roll the schema out to the other editors in our facility, so that they can also enter the XMP metadata on their own systems when they export out master timelines from Premiere.
But unless I'm missing something, I can't figure out a way to "share" or export my custom schema for use on another system. Is this not possible in Premiere Pro CC?

There's no feature for exporting and importing custom schemas, but it's entirely doable. Here are the path to the custom schemas
MAC: Macintosh HD ▸ Users ▸ <username> ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Adobe ▸ XMP ▸ Custom File Info Panels ▸ 4.0 ▸ custom
WIN: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\4.0\panels [I can't vouch for this path as I'm on Mac at the moment and it's been ages since I poked around for custom schemas, but this should at least be the right neighborhood.]
You might also be interested in sharing your custom metadata display profiles. They in Documents ▸ Adobe ▸ Premiere Pro ▸ 8.0 ▸ Profile-mapes ▸ Metadata Preferences.

XMP metadata lost in PNG files

Hello,
My XMP metadata is lost from a PNG file if the file is modified and saved. Here is what I am doing
1. Put some metadata in a PNG file using m_xmpFile.OpenFile( FileName, kXMP_PNGFile , kXMPFiles_OpenForUpdate)
2. Edit this file in Photoshop (changed the brightness and contrast of the file)
3. Saved the the modified files.
All my XMP metadata is now lost fromt the file.
is my implementation wrong? Is there some other way to stamp metadata in PNG files?
Thanks,
Hitesh

Info: Mac, Yosemite, Bridge CC
I have an extensive collection of PNG files that HAD been keyworded in Bridge (XMP). I noticed several days ago that the XMP of all those files is now missing.
When attempting to assign keywords back in, I also get the message: "The file ####.png canot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur." Weird. Like you said, it's looking like a bug.
And here's the kicker... if I duplicate the PNG file (Edit > Duplicate), the "copy" DOES contain the original XMP that went missing.
I really don't want to have to manually duplicate all my PNG files just to regain the metadata. Any brainy solution? I'm attaching an example of the original PNG (missing XMP) and the duplicated PNG (magically restored XMP).

Defining Custom XMP Metadata Fields

Is it possible (possibly through the export SDK?) to define a custom metadata field that Aperture can access?
Specifically, Adobe allows Photoshop users to create custom metadata panels to define new XMP namespaces allowing new metadata standards to be entered. This information is saved with the image file, just like the IPTC XMP fields.
However I am curious if there is any way Aperture can be customized to allow these custom fields to be read and set up as options in the metadata viewer.
I'm currently involved with a NASA/ESA project to bring more complete metadata annotations to astronomy images, but so far Photoshop/Bridge seem to be the only packages with defined support for custom metadata. It would be fantastic if such fields could be accessed from Aperture too!
PowerMac G5 2.3GHz Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi Robert,
Talk about timing! I just finished coding an export plugin for Aperture to do XMP metadata (beyond the built-in support that Aperture provides) that I'll be releasing as donation-ware in the next week and know all about this right now
What you could do is add custom keys within Aperture, define your own XMP namespace, and then, in the plugin, map from your custom keys to the XMP namespace. If you want, drop me an email (joshanon at mac dot com), and I might be able to send you the source to my plugin as a starting point.

XMP metadata from Flashbuilder why not visible in Adobe Bridge?

Hi there,
I'm currently wondering around XMP metadata and swf files.
A: Flash CS5: works
When I use the XMP panel in Flash CS5 and export a swf, open Adobe Bridge CS5 and select the file, the XMP data are correctly displayed.
B: Flash Builder(Flex 4.1): don't work
When I use Flashbuilder and add my metadata to the compilation, then compile, open Adobe Bridge CS5 and select the file, nothing is included in metadata.
Procedure based on the following (same problem if metadata are directly set through compiler arguments):
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_14.html
../src/config/ProductMetaData.xml
<flex-config>
<metadata>
    <title>My title</title>
    <description>My description</description>
    <publisher>The publisher</publisher>
    <creator>The creator</creator>
    <language>EN</language>
</metadata>
</flex-config>
compiler argument
-load-config+=config/ProductMetaData.xml
As far as understood, on the background the following is added to the swf at compile time:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
        <dc:title>My title</dc:title>
        <dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
                <rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>My description</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
        </dc:description>
        <dc:publisher>The publisher</dc:publisher>
        <dc:creator>The creator</dc:creator>
        <dc:language>EN</dc:language>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
I've checked that the medata is correctly added to the swf file using this small software polarswf:
http://download.cnet.com/Polar-SWF-MetaData/3000-6676_4-10738623.html
I do not know if it is safe to use it in a produciton context at least in trial mode it allows to check the metadata included in your swf.
I wonder if this metadata coonot be read by Adobe Bridge because they are at a "lower level" than those put by flash CS5 XMP panel?
Thank you in advance for your help.
This is not a blocking situation, but I'm curious to understand what happend.
Cedric Madelaine (aka maddec)

I was following this post for a LONG time, since I noticed the same problem.
This week I was getting in it into myself again and I noticed you use load-config. I used these compiler options :
contributor name
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
creator name
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
date text
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
But that resulted in this XML string where the dc namespace was missing a / on the end of the URI
That caused the metadata which was added in flashbuilder was only visible in bridge in the rawXML panel, and not the specific fields
changing the URI in http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ did the trick ( did this in bridge by exporting the rawXML, changed the / , and imported it )
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
Sadly there was no way I could add this / myself everytime.
BUT then I discoverd this option :
raw-metadata XML_string
Defines the metadata for the resulting SWF file. The value of this option overrides any metadata.* compiler options (such as contributor,creator, date, and description).
This is an advanced option.
And you could give the exact RAW XML as you described
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
        <dc:title>My title</dc:title>
        <dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
                <rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>My description</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
        </dc:description>
        <dc:publisher>The publisher</dc:publisher>
        <dc:creator>The creator</dc:creator>
        <dc:language>EN</dc:language>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
to the compiler. This could also be done in Flash with JSFL.
In the end I wrote an ANT script which injects the exact XMLstring of metadata to Flash and Flex projects by using the raw-metadata parameter in FLEX and JSFL for flash.
Hope this helps

Using my home Mac as a server

I would like to put my pictures on the web so that certain clients can view their photos with password. I photograph weddings and would prefer to make html slide shows of their wedding pictures so that they can view them anywhere with any computer. I would like the setup to be as simple and reliable as possible. I have an additional 250GB drive in the Mac that I wish to use as the storage of individual folders that contain the slide shows. If it would help I can get a dedicated 2nd Mac as the server if necessary. I was told that I would need a static IP address and some kind of software. I thought I could use file sharing on my computer but after reading numerous articles over the net, I am quite confused as to what I need. All I want to post is photo galleries that have about 600 to 700 pictures each that a client can view and that I can delete some or all of them after 30 days to be replaced by new ones. What software, hardware, etc. would be necessary to do this. Any suggestions welcome.

OSX server or client are both capable of handling this, as long as you have enough disk space. A site like this would probably only require a simple script on the server, server side includes (.shtml) and some javascript in the page itself. Frequently changing directories with basic authentication would probably best be done with .htaccess files. It isn't brain surgery, but there are reasons that people can make a living doing this kind of work.
A static IP would be needed so that when the users aim their browser at your site, they're not aiming at a moving target. Be aware that many/most/all ISPs that have home broadband networks block web servers.
Try turning on the web sharing, and try making one of these sites and see what comes of it. One cavaet that I see coming, is that the names of the images will probably vary from one shoot to the next, so that's why I was thinking that a server script to list the the image names and put them into a javascript array for the page to use to call for the different images.

How to get XMP MetaData as an XML String in a process?

Hi there,
I have a process where I would like to export a documents XMP MetaData, manipulate the XMP MetaData and then import the MetaData again to the document.
I thougt first I will use the service Name "XMPUtilityService" with the Service Operation "Export XMP" to export the XMP MetaData as a document.
Hoewer I am not sure how to manipulate the output document from the Export XMP service.
When I print out the document.toString() in a execute Script Service I get the following:
<document state="active" senderVersion="0" persistent="false" senderPersistent="false" passivated="false" senderPassivated="false" deserialized="false" senderHostId="null" callbackId="0" senderCallbackId="0" callbackRef="null" isLocalizable="true" isTransactionBound="false" defaultDisposalTimeout="600" disposalTimeout="600" maxInlineSize="65536" defaultMaxInlineSize="65536" inlineSize="3440" contentType="null" length="-1"><cacheId/><localBackendId/><globalBackendId/><senderLocalBackendId/><senderGl obalBackendId/><inline><?xpacket begin="ï»¿" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="A...</inline><senderPullServantJndiName/><attributes/></document>
Actually I expected something like this:
<?xpacket begin="" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Core 5.0-jc006 DEBUG-1.0, 2009 Jun 23 11:07:21-PDT">

What do I need to do to get the XMPMeta data as an XML String from a document within a process?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I know that I can retrieve the XMPUtilityMetadata object, but this object provides only access to a few information suche as creator, subject, producer, etc.
However I would like to retrieve the whole XML String of the XMP Metadata.
How is this possible?
Thanks.
Paul

Xmp metadata searchable on mac os x server 10.5.6?
