Finder: How to delete comments from thousands of documents with just a few clicks?

I used to add comments to files (right click a file and the information input in the comment section). Now, I changed to use Adobe software for the metadata entry.

I need more information in the comment section and I want to clear them all because they affect my search (because these observations will be searched too and I don't need that).

I know that I can open each file individually and delete the comment section. But I have about 5 000 files. I can't afford to do it one by one.

Is there an approach that allows me to delete the comments in these 5 000 files with just a few clicks?

No one has a solution for me?

    Looks like the file associations for your image files does not work.
    Go to the following site:

    and follow the instructions for the type of image file that is affected (for example, ".jpg", "gif", etc.)

  • Create PDFs from MS Word documents with DWG files embedded


    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, I regularly create PDF documents from MS Word documents with AutoCAD DWG files embedded.  If I print to PDF it is well with integrated designs but if I use the plugin Acrobat text in the drawings would then become too light to see in the created PDF file.  I need to be able to convert to PDF format rather than print them in PDF format in order to have the bookmarks and links created automatically.  What parameters control the darkness of drawings ACAD contained in MS Word files when they are converted to PDF files?

    Here are some screenshots from the built-in drawings prints/changed:

    Printed to PDF.JPG

    Convert:

    Converted to PDF.JPG

    This problem was caused by the use of dynamic blocks with several line colors and thicknesses in the original DWG files.  They were used to allow the quick creation of drawings in AutoCAD for several different components that share similar attributes.  Unfortunately when these drawings are incorporated in MS Word or PDF files is created directly from these drawings, items in the drawing would randomly disappear when a PDF file created from them.  The solution is to open each offending in AutoCAD DWG file, move everything to layer zero and set the thickness of the text elements.

  • I got a partial answer to my question about "how to delete emails from the Inbox in Outlook Express. Can I track my original request with a follow-up of the issue?

    Thank you very much for your answer.
     
    Outlook Express is listed on the Start button.  Following your instructions,.
     
    I clicked on start, Control Panel, Folder Options/view.  Point of view, a list of Options have been posted and some have been checked, including 'display the hidden files and folders '.
     
    I do not know how to find Inbox.dbx.  I still find 41 messages in the Inbox, 78 in the deleted items and 14 in mass mailings.  When I click on "remove" messages, I get a message - "the server is not found. In addition, unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
     
    "I uncheck" "include this account" so then, I probably is no longer get emails in Outlook Express.  My hard drive is pathetic looking.  I find a small "Ribbon of pink pie (unused space) and in the rest of the cake shape is 'BLUE'.  I thought that E-mails from Outlook Express can be responsible for my hard drive being so full. After I empty all these junk emails in 2008, I have to know what else I can remove to open more space on my hard drive.
     
    Thank you for your patience and for your help.

    After deleting messages in OE, go to file | Folder | Compact to reduce the size of the folder.  Otherwise removal does not affect the size of a folder.  You should probably go to file | Folder | Compact everything to reduce all sizes of folder in OE.  I would like to make a backup first.

    For more free space on your disk, click Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.

    It is not best to start a new message when you are tracking on another, because nobody knows what you're referring to when you the previous thread.  I managed to find it well and Bruce said: ' tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run '.

  • Can I delete files from disk that I removed just to LR by mistake?

    Hi, this is a really stupid mistake.

    I just deleted 100s of raw files from lightroom, useless stuff that I should have deleted at the time but that he was too lazy to do. I now try to purge all the waste and it takes me days (that's for the past 3 years or so).

    This morning I just deleted several hundred images I went to empty the trash and it's already empty, and it's only then that I realise I was just delete files from Lightroom and not from the diskette. It is several hours of work, is it possible that I can identify now in the folder from the finder that images aren't in the LR, because these are the ones I want to get rid of for good. I don't want to keep them there taking up valuable memory space or restore them in LR and have to do it all again. Help!

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Emma,

    I would do the following:

    1. YOUR CATALOG BACKUP
    2. Synchronize folders in question (perhaps on the record higher level parent)
      -Uncheck the box 'Search the metadata updated' when syncing
      -Select "import new photos" when syncing
    3. Remove photos ("remove disk") just imported by Synchronize to in LR (from the view "Previous import") after each import (if more than one folder)

    This should remove all images not previously in your catalog, but in your file (s).
