InDesign - Datamerge jumps and restocking data

Hello world. I'm having a little trouble with a feature of InDesign that I have a lot of experience with, and I would appreciate a second pair of eyes to spot possibly something ridiculously simple that I'm missing.

I have a lot of experience with DataMerge, and a particular model that has been used several dozen times in the last six months has suddenly been acting wonky. It seems to ignore the 11 first lines or so of the .csv file, repeat the following line, 10 times, continue with the next few lines, and then repeat the same line to before another time of 40 or more.

There are no columns/rows in the CSV file. And just to be safe, I've recreated the three file several times, even copy/paste data in a workbook of fees. No dice. And I can confirm that I use the CSV file each time.

Under datamerge options, it is set to 'All files' and 'Delete lines for empty fields empty' is nothing is done. Oddly, the cliché of recording Multiple Preview throws everything correctly. Like the fact the single record view. But as soon as I actually merge, he stumbles over himself.

In an effort to be as complete as possible, here are the screenshots of the step by step along the way:

1. the CSV file. Everything is in alphabetical order, starting with "ALAMOS". Only 5 entries "LIBERTY CREEK":

2. the correct CSV file is selected and data holders are all correctly filled.

3. overview the first tag being "ALAMOS MALBEC" poster.

4. "all folders" is selected.

5. several options presentation recording (not sure if anything here is relevant)

6. 'delete lines for empty fields empty' is unchecked.

7. "preview several snapshot recording shows the correct data.

http://ethanguillemette.com/work/Datamerge6.jpg

8. once datamerged, the first tag is "LIBERTY CREEK MERLOT" ("ALAMOS MALBEC"). Continues "LIBERTY CREEK MERLOT" for 11 entries.

http://ethanguillemette.com/work/Datamerge7.jpg

07:09 correct entries, he repeats "LIBERTY CREEK MERLOT" several pages to the end of the document.

I tried the same model with the other CSV files and line breaks, but not the same. In addition, it does the same thing on two different computers.

Am I missing something obvious here? Or is it really broken? This is a barebones model I could recreate in my sleep, but I fear that there is something that I don't know that I do it of messing things up.

Post edited by: Ethan Guillemette (added the little that it does not work with other CSV files and other computers)

For several versions now, it was a bug in merge data into InDesign that has the potential to trash the model if you are using the preview configuration of multiple records. As far as I know, this has not yet been set.

Try to rebuild your model and it comes out without preview.

  • Is there a window display and the data window as in Nuke for sequels?

    Not sure what the best way to Word this, but that's.  I wonder if there is a comparable feature in After Effects to what Nuke called the "showcase" and the data window".  I will do my best to explain my problem.  I'm jumping backwards between After Effects and Nuke.  I used After Effects extensively since version 6.5 to 2005 or 2006.  I've been tinkering with Nuke for years now, but now I'm determined to get competent in it.  One of the features I noticed Nuke who seems to be lacking in After Effects is the "bounding box/display window" that appears as a white dotted line around an image in the display window.

    Right now I'm working on a show that is My.cnf anamorphic linear exr with a deliverable 2158 x 2272 resolution.  There is a pixel 233 pad/mat up and down so that the image is actually 2158 x 1806.  If I open one of these files/shots in Nuke, I get the picture, 2158 x 1806 in the display window with a blank line dotted around her, within the metadata of the node, Nuke reading tab called the "exr/data window.  It's floating in a sturdy white box that defines the full resolution of the photo (2158 x 2272), which includes 233 pixel black padding up and down.  The anamorphic 2:1 ' squeeze' automatically' corresponds to the image in the display window 2158 x 1806 and remaining leaves 466 pixels up and down black and calls this overview read full resolution the "showcase" in the metadata tab of the node.  Nuke reads metadata exr and performs the anamorphic compression. 

    If I open the same file in after effects CC, it cannot read the exr metadata so it does not apply a squeeze anamorphic and it stretches the image of 2158 x 1806 to fit the area of 2158 x 2272 complete resolution.  I have to shrink the image to 79.5% on the Y axis to get it's good aspect ratio.  After effects 2014 and 2015 WILL read the metadata and do the squeeze automatically, BUT when you return, he makes the black bars on the top and the bottom, Cook in the file.  If this file is read Nuke, it opens fine but it will no longer be a data window around the image because the entire image is defined by both the 2158 x 1806 and 466 pixels of padding.  If I turn of Nuke, it does NOT the black padding but stretches the image 2158 x 1806 in the "data window" to mount a 2158 x 2272, defined as the size of the file "window" that gets pressed again to a 2:1 ratio when it is read in Nuke.

    It's exhausting to write so I would be surprised if anyone makes it all through in this.  Since I have to do, I'll leave this here, in the hope, I gave enough information for someone to recognize this situation.  I hope I'm missing something for After Effects to read and write these files in the same way Nuke.  I am new to the exr world.  I have always used the DPXs in the NEWSPAPER.  In order to work with linear files above them in EXRs is kinda weird too.  Thanks for reading if make you throughout this, I hope that he has no sense at all.

    With version 1.9, the plugin EXR changed its treatment of displayWindow. He used to ignore it, but now it crops the displayWindow throughout. Most people prefer this, but you can be the exception. Fortunately, there is a way to restore the old behavior with the instructions in this message.

    AE does not have this notion of dataWindow/displayWindow together, so there is no way to make an EXR this way. I suggest to make the buffer full off-AE, then perform an adjustment in Nuke to re - define the displayWindow. There is also the EXR command-line tools that can do.

    If an EXR file has a pixel aspect ratio other than 1.0 (square), which should be reflected in AE. If it wasn't for some reason, you should always be able to enforce in interpreting the film.

  • Someone else has Apple Airplay jumping and drop outs when streaming music?  WiFi is not the problem, and there is nothing around the units of airtime to interference.  Impossible to listen to music.  Thanks for any advice.

    I've recently updated several broadcasts in my house from V1 to V2 in the hope of resolving a constant jumping and abandonment problem I always had when playing music with Airplay.  I have a unit of airtime plugged directly on my stereo receiver that feeds music throughout my house.  My WiFi connection is not the problem and there is nothing to cause interference.  Airplay modules are not more than 15 feet distance modem or range Extenders.  Someone else has this problem and, hopefully, a solution?   I'm tired of doing factory reset all the time.  Many thanks for any advice.

    I've recently updated several broadcasts in my house from V1 to V2 in the hope of resolving a constant jumping and abandonment problem I always had when playing music with Airplay.

    By "Airplays" what are you actually refers to... Base station airPort Express, Apple TV, or something else?

    ... and "V1 to V2" do you mean you replaced a 1st generation 802.11n AirPort Express with a 2nd generation?

    Airplay modules are not more than 15 feet distance modem or range Extenders.

    When steaming audio with AirPlay, the flow goes first to the device host to iTunes to the router Wi - Fi, this unit is connected to. From there, he will travel to the AirPlay "speaker". A president could be an AirPort Express, Apple TV or an AirPlay device ready another manufacturer. If you use line extensions, the flow must go through those as well... so there is potential bottlenecks between the host and the speaker. One of these could be the cause of the issue you found.

  • How can I recover the modules and their data from a failed HARD drive (the lost BONE areas, but data files are readable)?

    The HARD drive that was my OS (Windows XP Pro SP3) failed and lost quite a few areas which are essential for the operating system running. Other data is still readable. A got another HARD drive and installed Windows XP SP2, Firefox and other programs. I was able to retrieve the bookmarks, security certificates, and other profile information using the information found in bandages.

    None of them addressed how do to recover the modules or their data. Specifically, there are several large, elegant scripts that took months to develop and customize.

    Articles related to migration and other do not work for me because they require the old copy of FF is functional, that is not because the OS on this HARD drive is damaged. Is it possible to recover these data, similar (or not) about how I could get the other profile info?

    Have you copied the entire folder C:\Documents and Settings\username \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\ on the old drive?
    If this is not the case, can you?
    If so, make a copy and save this folder just in case.

    If so, you could replace this folder on the new facility by \Profiles\ [with your profiles inside] folder and the profiles.ini file [delete all other files / folders that may also be in the folder "Firefox"] -and then replace with the same folder named from the old failed drive. Note that you will lose what you already have with the new installation / profile!
    Your profile folder contains all your personal data and customizations, including looking for plugins, themes, extensions and their data / customizations - but no plugins.
    But if the user logon name is different on the new facility that the former, any extension that uses an absolute path to the file in its prefs will be problems. Easily rectified, by changing the path to the file in the file prefs, js - keep the brake line formatting intact. The extensions created after the era of Firefox 2.0 or 3.0, due to changes in the 'rules' for creating extensions usually are not a problem, but some real old extensions that need only "minor" since that time can still use absolute paths - even though I have not seen myself since Firefox Firefox 3.6 or 4.0.

    View instead of 'Modules' I mentioned the 4 types of 'Modules' separately - Plugins are seen as 'Add-ons', but they are not installed in the profile [except those mislabelled as a "plugin", when they are installed via an XPI file], but rather in the operating system where Firefox 'find' through the registry.

    Note: Migration articles can tell you do not re - use the prefs.js file, due to an issue that I feel is easily fixed with a little inspection and editing. I think you can manage that my perception is that you have a small shovel in your tool box, if you encounter a problem you are able to do a little digging and fixing problems with the paths to files - once you have been warned.

    Overall, if you go Firefox 35 35 or even Firefox 34 to 35, I don't think you will run in all the problems that you can not handle [that I cross my fingers and "hope" that I'm not on what it is obvious].

    With regard to the recovery of the 'data' for individual extensions - there are many ways that extension developers used to store their data and pref. The original way should save in prefs.js or their own file RDF in the profile folder. While Firefox has been developed more, developers started using their own files in the profile folder. And because Mozilla has started using sqlite database files in Firefox 3.0, Mozilla extended their own use of sqlite, as have extension developers.
    Elegant uses the file stylish.sqlite to store 'styles', but something in the back of my mine tells me that 'the index' maybe not in this file with the data. But then again, I can be confusing myself a question I had with GreaseMonkey awhile back where I copied the gm_scripts folder in a new profile and with already installed GreaseMonkey but with no script. These GM scripts worked, but I could not see them or modify them - they do not appear in the user GM extension interface window in Firefox.

    How to eject my iphone, or player card on my macbook air?  I don't want to disconnect and lose data...

    You won't lose data when you remove an iPhone, unless you're in the middle of the backup or synchronization of the device.

    If you see no activity in iTunes/Photos/etc... Then, it is safe to unplug.

    With a card reader (SD card?) you do drag the desktop icon to the trash. It turns into an arrow when you drag an icon ejector.

    Similarly, you can click Finder on the dock, then locate the reader on the left column and click on the "arrow" to the right of the device to eject it.

  • Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

    I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

    WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

    This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

    How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

    I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

    Thank you

    Hello just YOU

    Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

    Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

    Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

    Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

    Bye and good luck!
