XMP Toolkit and MultiThreading
I've been working on version 4.1.1 of the toolkit and I've stumbled upon what I think is a problem. I use the toolkit as part of a property handler in Vista which is really just a COM object. I keep getting sorta random crashes that are kinda hard to trace down. What I THINK might be causing it is that two threads are running the property handler (and by extension the toolkit dll) and one thread when it ends runs SXMPFiles::Terminate (or SXMPMeta::Terminate) after another thread runs SXMPFiles::Initialize.
Is that possible for one thread to affect the other like that?
Eric
The client code is responsible for making the Initialize and Terminate calls in a thread-safe manner - typically from the main thread before/after all other work. These calls initialize and terminate the OS mutexes - they simply cannot be done from multiple threads. Between Initialize and Terminate, the other calls are all thread safe.

Adobe provides the XMP Toolkit that gives developers the ability to easily extract, modify and inject XMP into a multitude of file formats. Unfortunately for .NET developers, it is only available for C++ and Java.
This is where the
C# XMP Toolkit fits in. It includes all the functionality from the XMP Toolkit and extends it with great new features.
Wraps XMPFiles, allowing easy extraction and injection of XMP.
Wraps XMPCore (XMPMeta, XMPIterator and XMPUtils), allowing easy editing of XMP.
Extends with new schema classes, for even easier editing of XMP.
Can be used by any .NET 2.0 application.
Freeware!
Please visit
Hålligång website for more information and download.Version 0.1.2 is now available with updates and additions to the schemas.
Available schemas in this release:
DublinCore
Iptc
Photoshop
XmpBasic (except for Thumbnail property)
XmpRights
The following code snippet shows how easy it is to add XMP support to your application:
// Update Title, Keywords and Rating.
using (Xmp xmp = Xmp.FromFile("sample.jpg", XmpFileMode.ReadWrite))
DublinCore dc = new DublinCore(xmp);
dc.Title["x-default"] = "A sample image";
dc.Subject.Clear();
dc.Subject.Add("a");
dc.Subject.Add("sample");
dc.Subject.Add("image");
XmpBasic basic = new XmpBasic(xmp);
basic.Rating = 5;
basic.MetadataDate = DateTime.Now;
// See what's about to be stored.
string xmpDump = xmp.Dump();
xmp.Save(); -
XMP Toolkit & Visual Studio 6.0
Hi!
I'm a software developper from Germany and got started into XMP a couple of days ago. With Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, everything works fine (I compiled the sources and received the lib files as static libraries which I can use for my code).
Does it also work with Visual Studio 6.0? I tried it, but a "LNK1196: invalid or corrupt import object: unknown version" error is shown then, I suppose you can't use lib files created in 2005 for 6.0. Has anybody successfully used the XMP Toolkit on this version?
Thanks.Tutorial: How to install Visual Studio 6 With Service Pack 5 on Windows Vista RTM
- If you use Visual Studio.NET, do not install Visual Studio 2002, 2003, 2005 or 2008 first. If you do, this tutorial will not work. You must install them in this order...
1. Visual Studio 6.0
2. Service Pack 5
3. Visual Studio 2002, 2003, 2005 or 2008
- Right click on Setup.EXE from the Visual Studio 6 CD (MSVS98) and choose 'Run As Administrator' (take note it doesn't matter if your user is already an administrator you still must 'Run as Administrator')
- You may encounter some strange 'Yes/No' questions which you may not know the answers to that have not prompted you during Visual Studio Setup before. I don't remember what I clicked exactly, but I remember one of them said 'Do you want to overwrite your 'blah blah' settings?' and I clicked 'No'.
- You will need to reboot twice during installation
- Before running Service pack 5 setup, you must make modifications to the file 'sp598ent.stf' here's how to do that (note some of the spaces have been truncated, try to not remove the extra space in the stf file when modifying it. If you do, this will not work at all, and you'll get a "Setup Damaged" error)...
Step 1) Open C:\ServicePack5Dir\sp598ent.stf with 'Notepad.exe'
Step 2) Replace the following line
13 Group 28 36 38 29 30 32 26 27 14 25 16 17 20 18 19 15 39 21 22 24 23 43
-with-
13 Group 28 38 29 30 32 26 27 14 25 16 17 20 18 19 15 39 21 22 24 23 43
Step 3) Delete the following lines leaving only a carriage return where it was
36 Depend "27 ? : 37"
37 IsWin95 CustomAction "sp598ent.dll,CheckForMDAC"
Step 4) Save and close C:\ServicePack5Dir\sp598ent.stf
- Once you are done with that, you must run right click 'setupsp5.exe' and choose 'Run as Administrator' (if you do not run as administrator it will not work)
- Service Pack 5 Setup should work fine now. -
Requesting contact info for XMP Toolkit SDK developers at Adobe
Hello,
I'm an engineer at Google, involved in the WebM project. Information about our project is here:
http://www.webmproject.org/
WebM is "video for the web". It specifies a standard container format (a WebM file is based on Matroska), which comprises a VP8 video stream and a Vorbis audio stream.
More info about the WebM container format is described here:
http://www.webmproject.org/code/specs/container/
We are investigating mechanisms for supporting metadata in WebM, and we are looking specifically at using XMP for this purpose. I have a few technical questions about the Adobe XMP Toolkit SDK, and would look to speak to an engineer or some such at Adobe.
Does anyone know whom I can contact at Adobe, about making modifications to the XMP Toolkit SDK?
You can contact me directly at my work email address: <[email protected]> .
Thanks!

How GIF format is supported in XMP toolkit
Hi all,
I'm new to XMP and I'm using the XMP toolkit since some weeks. I was easily managing JPEG, TIFF, PNG and PDF, but I have problems with GIF format.
Documentation declares it is supported, but I didn't find BlueSquare.gif between the samples. There is no handler available in the libraries. I cannot embed metadata in file that has not already.
Maybe it can reads/modify only GIF that has already XMP embedded? (if so can someone give a sample of 89a GIF with XMP embedded).
Is there anybodu that has found a way to add metadata anyway?Hello Jeknetics, I will attach this information that must be helpful for you.

Cannot build XMP-Toolkit-SDK-CC201306
Hi
Is this the correct forum to post this question?
I am using WIN 7 Professional 64 bit and Visual Studio 2010.
I have been trying to produce the Visual Studio project from the GenerateXMPToolkitSDK_win.bat file.
It fails repeatedly. It produces the VC10 directory.
When I open the solution in VS2010 it has no project files?
Note that I do not have Visual Studio running at the time of the build.

IPTC/XMP Toolkit Wrapper in C#
I wanted an extremely easy C# wrapper for the toolkit. One that would compile in Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 upon install, as well as have a class with simply had property values for each of the IPTC/XMP data. I hired someone to do this and it works beautifully. It's been released in DBGallery, a photo database system (www.grrsystems.com/DBGallery).
If anyone is interested in purchasing this wrapper you may contact me at [email protected]
Regards,
Glenn Rogers, PMP
GRR Systems, Inc.The XMP Toolkit C# Wrapper mentioned above has been recently updated to:
- Use the XMP Toolkit CS6
- Support additional fields, such as GPS
- Support UTF8
- Includes a sample project which uses .Net 4.0
- Compiles in Visual Studio 2012

XMP Toolkit compilation error under win32 + recent VC editions
Hi all,
I just downloaded the XMP plugin and tried to compile it under win xp with VC9 (express edition).
I get the following error a few times:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\stdio.h(358) : error C3163: '_vsnprintf': attributes inconsistent with previous declaration
1> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\stdio.h(350) : see declaration of '_vsnprintf'
I'm not expert of win32 and/or VC environment, but I find quite strange that there is an error in stdio.h.
Maybe some duplicate definition in XMP toolkit? Any hint?
Thanks a lot,
RobertoThanks a lot!
Regards,
Roberto
2010/5/6 Joerg Ehrlich <[email protected]>:
Hi Roberto,
>
sorry for the late reply.
Unfortunately the compilation error is due to a certain combination of the VS compiler and the third-party ZLib library used in XMPFiles.
When compiling XMPFiles with the new Visual Studio 2008, certain definitions in the version 1.2.3 of ZLib collide with definitions in the CRT used in VS2008.
The solution is to get the latest version of ZLib which is 1.2.5. But you also need to adjust the XMPFiles VS project a little bit.
In that VS project you need to remove the file "gzio.c" from this folder: XMPFiles/Source Files/Third Party/zlib.
With those two changes, the toolkit should compile.
But you could also wait for the CS5 SDK which is about to be released pretty soon, which has this fixed as well.

If you have further questions, please let me know.
Kind Regards

Using the XMP Toolkit in Illustrator
I'm trying to read information from the XMP metadata of a linked image in Illustrator from a Plugin. The SDK doesn't seem to provide a full API for manipulating XMP apart from the ability to obtain the XMP packet from an art object via the AIArtSuite with GetArtXMP(...) etc.
So naturally I went for Adobe's XMP Toolkit to do the hard work for me, however I've run into some strange issues that have me a little stumped. Basically, no matter what I do, after calling anything from the XMP Toolkit (SXMPMeta), I end up with either a SIGABRT or BAD_ACCESS in a random object destructor such as ai::FilePath or std::string. I assume this is due to some memory being deallocated too early based on my usage of the toolkit.
Doing a bit more reading, I see that the XMP Toolkit uses a singleton pattern under the hood. This leads me to believe that there is some conflict with Illustrator's own implementation of the toolkit and my own.
Could anyone shed any light on this? Is there another way I should be doing this? Any help anyone can give me would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!
-W
*Edit: I've linked to the XMP Toolkit both statically and dynamically, each time with the same results.
Another interesting thing I noticed is that if I compile both my plugin and the XMP toolkit with "Symbols Hidden By Default" (GCC_SYMBOLS_PRIVATE_EXTERN) set to "NO", I don't get a crash, but I can't register my namespaces. They just don't appear in the list of namespaces even after dumping the namespace list out directly after the call to SXMPMeta::RegisterNamespace(...)
Should I be asking in the XMP Toolkit forum?Please ignore this post. The problem was in my own code. I was stomping over memory that wasn't mine to stomp over.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.
In particular, I am analyzing the example "Even Angle Reference Signal Processing (Digital Tacho, DAQmx).vi", whose documentation I am reproducing in the following:
<B>DESCRIPTIONS</B>:
This VI demonstrates how to extract even angle reference signals and remove the slow-roll errors. It uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and a digital tachometer signal. This VI includes a two-step process: acquire data at low rotational speed to extract even angle reference; use the even angle reference to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation.
<B>INSTRUCTIONS</B>:
1. Run the VI.
2. On the <B>DAQ Configurations</B> tab, specify the <B>sample rate</B>, <B>samples per channel</B>, device and channel configurations, and tachometer channel information.
<B>NOTE</B>: You need to use DSA PXI-447x/PXI-446x and PXI TIO device in a PXI chassis to run this example. The DSA device must be in slot 2 of the PXI chassis.
3. Switch to <B>Extract Even Angle Reference</B> tab. Specify the <B>number of samples to acquire</B> and the <B># of revs in reference</B> which determines the number of samples in even angle reference. Click <B>Start</B> to take a one-shot data acquisition of the vibration and tachometer signals. After the acquisition, you can see the extracted even angle references in <B>Even Angle Reference</B>.
4. Switch to the <B>Remove Slow-roll Errors</B> tab. Click <B>Start</B> to acquire data continuously and view the compensate results. Click <B>Stop</B> in this tab to stop the acquisition.
<B>ORDER ANALYSIS VIs USED IN THIS EXAMPLE</B>:
1. SVL Scale Voltage to EU.vi
2. OAT Digital Tacho Process.vi
3. OAT Get Even Angle Reference.vi
4. OAT Convert to Even Angle Signal.vi
5. OAT Compensate Even Angle Signal.vi
My question is: How is the synchronization produced at the time of the compensation ? How is it possible to eliminate the errors in a synchronized fashion with respect to the surface of the shaft bearing in mind that I am acquired data at a low rotation speed in order to get the "even angle reference" and then I use it to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation. In this application both operations are made in different acquisitions, therefore the reference of the correction signal is lost. Is it simply compensated without synchronizing ?
Our application is based on FPGA and we need to clarity those aspects before implementing the procedure.
Solved!

Application doesn't work after build (database toolkit and report gen toolkit).
I wrote an application using database toolkit and report gen toolkit to retrieve some data from a database, put into a Word doc, save the Word doc and print it. It works fine when I run the vi, but when I build and run it, it does nothing. I have tried all of the settings in Projec Manager that I think might help but it still won't work right. Labview 8.2.1, XP.
Thanks,
Charlie
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks for the help. I finally abondened the Word append table and used the regular report gen append table and got it to work fine. The error was 214682314. That led me to the thread about column numbers must vbe between 1 and 63, but like I said, my coulumn number is 7 so don't know what is going on. Anyway I got the vi to work and do what I want so I guess now the problem is solved (moot).

Hi, in my script I am trying to read the Date and Time using the XMP functions of a selected file in bridge. Then, I want to convert that date and time into a format that looks like: "01/12/10 | 01:23 PM" and write that to another metadata field like the description. Im stuck on trying to convert the date and time into what I want it to look like? Can anyone help, thanks!
Here is the part of the code I'm having trouble with:
When I read the dateTimeOriginal property of the file, it is in an unfriendly format. It looks odd and shows the time zone. The commented lines is code that I have tried, but didn't work. I was trying to convert the XMPDateTime object into a Date object so I can adjust the format, but I haven't been successful.
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
var Name = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "DateTimeOriginal");
var date = new XMPDateTime(new Date(Name));
var date2 = new Date(date);
//dateFormat.masks.portfolioDate = 'mm/dd/yy "|" hh:MM TT';
//date.format("portfolioDate");
//date2.format("mm/dd/yy");
alert(date2.toString());
Name.convertToLocalTime();
Name.toString();
alert(Name);Thanks for helping me out Paul. I just have one more small problem. I am trying to access the Headline XMP property, and I know i need to use the IPTC Core property, but it doesn't seem to work. Here is my current code, can you help me out?
var selectedFile = thumb.spec;
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();

How can I find and install the state diagram toolkit and how to--
Hi,
I like to do practice how to do coding by using state diagram toolkit. For that purpose I need to install that software. Can you please help me in this regard about how to get theat toolkit and install afterwards?
I have another question. By using VI snippets, I can extract the meaning of a particular VI/node/function block or whatever may be. Is there anyway to extract meaning in case that screenshot is not a snippet?
Also, can you tell me about how to start from scratch for using labview in building algorithm and coding? any resource?
Thank You.The state diagram toolkit is an addon and it has license fees. It's install is available on the complete set of install disks.
There is no other way to extract code besides using snippets.
You can find lots of information here regarding LabVIEW training including online options. You can also go through the tutorials that ship with LabVIEW.

The difference of sinad.vi between Sound & Vibration Toolkit and Singal Processing Toolkit
Hi, I'm confused with the the difference of sinad.vi between Sound & Vibration Toolkit and Singal Processing Toolkit.
When the input waveform is single tone, the output is almost the same, but raises much discrepancy while a certain distribution of the spectrum. Does the sinad.vi have some limitation to the input signal? Did I miss some setting of the terminals? Hope someone can give me some suggestion.
