Custom metadata plugin: how to execute code automatically new files?

I have a goal to see some fields of Fuji-specific metadata in Lightroom. I can see these when I run Fuji by Exiftool files from the command line. I would like to be able to filter and research on them. (Before you go, if anyone knows of an existing plugin that will import the EXIF Exiftool arbitrary, please let me know.)

I can write a metadata custom for this plugin. Definition of custom fields and tagset is clear for me. I've done this before. What is not clear to me is to know how to trigger the code that parses the files for metadata, and imports. Can I get the user to do so manually by choosing images, then using a menu option - it's easy. Is it possible to automatically invoke instead? You say, when the files are imported?

Other opinions on how this could work smoothly are welcome. Thank you

There used to be an ExifMeta plugin that would automatically synchronize one or more fields of image metadata custom in the catalog, available for viewing, filtering, and research.   Unfortunately, the developer has disappeared, as well as its plugins, about 1.5 years ago.

The Data Explorer plugin allows you to view and search for fields of arbitrary metadata accessible to Exiftool.  But you have to run it manually whenever you want to display the current values.

What is not clear to me is to know how to trigger the code that parses the files for metadata, and imports.

The plugin must have a background task (or tasks) that runs periodically and checks new files and files that have changed since the last time it extracted their metadata.  This can be done quite effective, but it takes effort.

The background task can scan the new photos using the catalogue: getAllPhotos() and comparing the result with the last time he called it.   I guess that every 5 seconds would not consume any noticeable CPU.  It could be implemented in 10 or 20 lines.

If you care about the plugin noticing changes made to the metadata of files once they have been imported into LR (for example because an external application changed), it would be harder to do in a reasonable time.  The plugin can save the modification date of the metadata for a photo file whenever it extracted metadata.  The background would periodically scan all the pictures in the catalog, search for files whose current modification date is more recent than that recorded in the custom metadata.   I don't have a good idea for the cost of CPU that it would impose, but I guess you could probably do 10 files per second without significant load.  This would mean that it would take several hours to sweep a catalog of files of 100K.   (Windows and OS X have mechanisms to notify applications of changes to the file system, but these mechanisms are not available through the SDK of course).

With more complexity, you might also have a background task that periodically uses catalog: findPhotos() to run the smart collection criteria "Medata status is changed on the disk or the status of metadata is detected conflict."  This would be grafted onto the mechanism from LR to notice that files have changed and that he would be very low cost. You can run this query every few seconds without significant impact.  However, there is a chance that this task would be to miss a few modified photos, for example if the user did metadata > read metadata file before the task had a chance to see the file has changed.  So, you would still need the task that periodically scans all the photos in the catalog.

I never asked the developer to ExifMetadata exactly what he did on this point, but I'm guessing that something similar.

  • How can I generate a new file/link static?

    Im trying to figure out how to approach a problem. what I want to do is to generate a new file/link, perhaps using "cffile" or any other way.

    Right now I have cse_newsletter.cfm, which looks like this (type of)

    <html>
.......
<cfquery>
select ....
</cfquery>
select ....
<cfquery>
</cfquery>
.......
 <cfoutput>
      <h1>Starburst Star Award</h1>
     <h3>Winner: Department- #highest_dept_name_average#</h3>
     <h3>Average:  #hihest_dept_average# </h3>
     <h4>Runner-up: Department- #highest_dept_name_runnerup# </h4>
     <h4> Average: #highest_dept_name_average_runnerup# </h4>
  </cfoutput>
</html>

    the query works and give me I want a correct output. (rigth now I use cfshedule to execute it, but every time I run it will overwrite the old data with the new) what he does, he gives me the data of the past month.

    so every tiime it works should give me the data from last month.

    I would like to do that whenever I click on transmission (maybe there is a better way to do it without submit) it will give me a static link/txt that contains the data.

    I know that with cffile = "Write" he can give me a txt file (and this file can be replaced), but I would preffer so is easier for me a link on cse_newsletter.cfm which will output/display which is on the body now to the cse_newsletter.

    Please give me any tips/suggestions, maybe an article I read online (have not found something that can help me)

    This right is the cfshedule, right now is on the update, so sure it won't work with the update, but I don't think that with what I want, I can accomplish with cffile 'writing '.

    <cfschedule action = "update"
    task = "TaskName" 
    operation = "HTTPRequest"
    url = "cse_execoffice_newsletter.cfm"
    startDate = "04/18/14"
    startTime = "11:19 AM"
    interval = "3600"
    resolveURL = "Yes"

    Thank you

    I mean your cse_newsletter.cfm model can be designed to accept parameters to view a newsletter of a certain month and year. If it accepts URL parameters, then you can create a link to it like this:

    http://mydomain.com/cse_newsletter.cfm?month=1&year=2014

    And if the parameters are not passed, you could do that show the user a list of months and years (control for example via the selection list form) so that they can select the month and year they need. That's how he could design in any case. Unless your data is stored somewhere in a database, your model would never work for a scenario (last month), and it's a great limitation because no one can observe beyond newsletters. You may not write files to disc etc, because the model has just need to show correct information letter. You can create any link to the newsletter you need once it has been designed to accept parameters month and year (which are in turn to your CFQUERY tags to get the data).

  • Problems with the opening of attachments when the user has restristed privilege to run executable code from Program Files and Windows folders.

    I'm trying to prevent users from running potentially dangerous files. According to the Windows policies so I put. Users can run any application Program Files, files (x 86), windows, and folder to all users of the program office. Users have no permission to write anything in this files. When the user double clicks for example document.doc on his desk - document opens fine with MS Word. But when the user tries to open this document in attachment directly (by selecting open with MS Word, instead of the economy) - he sees an error - "this action is limited by local politics. Ask your system administrator. "(not exact text).

     So I want, users able to open attachments from Thunderbird automatically, but not able to run any application or link, except Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows and all users' desktop folder. How can I get this result?

    Thanks in advance.
    Calvo is serious.

    PS Sorry for my bad English. It is not my mother tongue.

    Thanks for responding.
    I discovered what was going on.
    This strange "bug" affects multiple computers with Windows 7 Ultimate in my case.
    When you create a SRP (software restriction policies) it creates two rules by default to run programs: windows folder and the Program Files folder. I manually add "C:\Program Files (x 86)" in places without restriction. BUT Windows and Program Files folder to default rules directly, but through registry keys. And this part seems difficult. You CAN run the executable files of Program Files. You CAN run the Program Files (x 86) executables. But if Thunderbird or Firefox try to run MS Word or excel or editor for.doc or *.odt opening or another file - downloaded files running programs blocked by SRP.
    In order to fix this, simply replace the rules for indirect paths like % HKLM/software/microsoft/windows... etc % with direct, for example "C:/Windows" and "C:/Program Files /". After that, everything works fine. Attachments and downloaded files automatically opens without a problem.

  • exporter plugin: How do I export to multiple files?

    I try to get my exporter to export at the same time the 2 files separate (one for audio, one for the video):

    (1) file *.wav (for PCM audio)

    (2) *.m4v in the file (encoded H264 video)

    The exported WAV & M4V files are readable in external tools - so I export base writing routines correct fileData.

    But so far, I can do ONE at a time - that is to say I have to manually coded hard the 'supportsAudio' and 'supportsVideo' to be mutually and changed my exDoExport() routine to behave accordingly.

    I want my exporter to support any combination of audio/video exporter: audio only, video, or audio + video only

    (1) audio only: write a single *. WAV file

    (2) video only: write a file single *.m4V

    (3) audio + video: write two files (*.) WAV + *. M4V)

    But I can't understand how do so through the Premiere Pro SDK CS6.

    I tried to write handlers for selector exSelQueryOutputFileList.  I followed the instructions carefully (any body calling the selector 3 times in a row).  I reinforced with my Manager using VS2010 debugger, so I * know * that CS6 calls me 3 times.  And I also confirmed that I correctly put the numOutputFiles, outputFileRecs.pathLength and outputFileRecs.path.

    But when the 'export' method is finally engaged, CS6 calls the selector of exSelExport ONCE, and he spent only the first outputFileRec [#0].  There so no chance that my exporting code use the 2 outputFileRecs that have been previously assigned.

    .... How is it supposed to work?

    Hello

    It is normal that exSelExport is called only once.  The locations of files in the exSelQueryOutputFileList are used for the FTP Panel and other areas, but you should always write about all of the files in the exSelExport.

  • How can I create a new file interactively in LabVIEW 2011?

    I am trying to create a new binary file interactively in LabVIEW, but control of path only gives the opportunity to type the path name and the complete file (cumbersome for the user) or search for an existing file. I want to open a dialog box "New file", which will allow the user to navigate to the target folder, and then be able to enter the name of a nonexistent file to save the data of.

    The way I'm currently doing it is to create a TXT using Windows Explorer file "New text Document" pop up, then change the file extension for the new value... which is once again, very heavy.

    The only thing I've found online is that there used to be a "new File.VI" in an earlier version of LabVIEW apparently... but I can't seem to find it in 2011.

    You can create a new file using the Browse button.

    Your right click the file path control and check the settings in the menu "Options to browse?

  • Custom metadata FrameworkFolder + FLD_CREATE_FOLDER

    Hi guys.

    I am trying to create a folder with custom metadata (created in the FolderFolders table). The file component I use is setting records.

    The steps I gave to try this was:

    # Create a new column in the FolderFolders table

    1. in the configuration manager, I accessed tab tables.

    2 - I chose FolderFolders table and clicked edit.

    3 - I created the new brAcoesBloqueadas column (varchar, 10).

    4. I checked if the database table has been updated with the new column.

    # Try to run the FLD_CREATE_FOLDER function to create a new folder by passing a value to the new column

    I tried to run the above service using the bellows of the url. Just after, run this service, the folder was created, but the metadata brAcoesBloqueadas still empty.

    http://webcenter/cs/IdcService=FLD_CREATE_FOLDER & brAcoesBloqueadas = test & fFolderName = Test & fParentGUID = F3FF801E74C33C157B9DF0FA1BFB6BD6

    Something that I do not forget to do?

    Services do not base their information from the tables, because they are in the Configuration Manager.

    If you want to add more data to the database, you need to change the insert statement that calls FLD_CREATE_FOLDER. You will need to do this in a custom component.

  • How to create a custom metadata fields?

    In the library module, to the left of the label of "Metadata" next to the winding open, is a drop down menu which starts with "Default" and then has a list with ensembles such as 'DNG', 'EXIF', etc..

    Two questions or requests:

    (1) I can see ALLLLLLLL of metadata.  Right now I am out to ExifTool and suck the data I need and hand build that.  Necessary special last night, I needed the rotation of the camera that is in the metadata (twice), but I do not know how to see the inside of Lightroom.

    (2) I want to be able to add to the list I described with my own set of metadata fields.  For me, that would be lovely.  There are tons and tons of fields but I am interested by only a few, but I'm sure that each person is interested in a different game.  It would be nice to be able to customize the fields that are displayed.  Of course, once you go too far, you can also add the ability to appoint the sets and save them for later use.

    Or the other of these elements is possible in Lightroom 4?  (or 5?)  If so, can you teach me how?

    Thank you
