Read the metadata of a file without Photoshop or bridge

Hello

Suppose I have a file in office called "test.jpg". So I create this variable:

var myFile = new file ("" ~ / Desktop/test.jpg ' ");

This file contains some key words and I need to read instructions. And if the reading process detects the exact keyword, then it copies the file to the appropriate folder. Well, in short, I could do it directly using #target estoolkit. I´d do not like to participate (opening) Photoshop or bridge.

Is it possible to read the metadata of a file without targeting Bridge or Photoshop? Read the reference I found no method or a property for it, wait for the metadata library. BUT

If I try to load the library of metadata to help:

If (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {}

ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');

};

then it will of course be an error file or the folder does not exist...

No idea how I could proceed to load this library and read the metadata of a file directly?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Gustavo.

Documentation on working with XMP is in the JavaScript Tools Guide.

var test = new File("~/Desktop/Test.jpg");
var xmpf = new XMPFile( test.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ );
var xmp = xmpf.getXMP();
xmpf.closeFile();
var modDate = xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_XMP, "ModifyDate").toString();
alert(modDate);

  • LR to read the metadata of the file, automatically or manually all the configuration files

    Hello

    I would like to know how to configure LR for the following use cases:

    1. Read the metadata from all the photo files once.
    2. Always read all files, so "to start" stage, on a regular or - ideally - on basis of evolution into a file.

    I already know how to "read metadata" for individual or selected, files but my questions are in regards to pictures of my catalog.

    Another way to look at this is: how to select all the images? Is it possible to say to LR to read the metadata for the selected images and apply "import disc settings' as the default for conflicts?

    I don't understand what some of the implications of are, as a decline in performance in the section files/XMP metadata are only a subset of the LR metadata keeps in the catalog, for example flags, the collection members, develop the story, etc. are all not stored in XMP as I understand it - and it's good for me.

    All my files are JPG or TIFF, so the XMP section is contained in the files, not in separate sidecar XMP files. On my file system my photos are usually organized in a folder structure as follows: J:\Pictures\Year\Month\Event.

    Thank you very much!

    1. Select all Photos (click on all of the photographs, turn off filters, expand all the batteries, then Ctrl + A) then the metadata-> read metadata from files

    2. cannot be done. Reading metadata from files must be started manually.

  • Camera Raw does not read the previously saved XMP files (Canon 60 d)

    Hello

    I want to ask if this is a real problem or just me something wrong.

    I open the RAW with Canon 60 d (Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw 6.6) files, then I do what has not (cropping, exposure changes, hone... etc), then I click on the done button. Camera Raw saves XMP files with RAW files. After that, I want to make some changes more, I open the RAW files, but Camera RAW doesn't "remember" what he did a few minutes before. I guess that it isn't read the XMP files it created.

    If it's me or it's some sort of bug?

    I don't have this problem when editing with Canon 400 d RAW files.

    Thanks for your time!

    There is a difference between not remembering your changes and you see do not the changes you did just.

    If you use embedded thumbnails you will not see any changes, but you can see a shield in corner superior human resources indicating the changes.

    You will see the version published in the preview.

    If you want to see montages in the thumb, you should use one of the options HQ.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I change the NTFS file system to say fat so my TV will read the HD Ext USB files? Thank you

    Using Vista, downloaded a movie on 2GB USB flash drive and Iomega 1 TB HARD drive then strove to connect both in TV Grundig.

    Read file ok but wouldn't play film "says cannot read the file format" all clues please? For your info I have 63 years if my grandson was here 6 years old it would probably sort fast time, but I can't! :)

    Hi Norman,

    After you convert a partition to NTFS (New Technology File System), you can not convert back. If you want to use the FAT (File Allocation table) file system on the partition again, you will need to reformat the partition, and this will erase all data on it.

    Click on the link mentioned below as reference.

  • I can't get Premiere Pro to read the timecode of ProRes files

    I have a pix240i that I use to record the Pro Res files to.  When I import the ProRes files in first, the timecode for each clip begins to 00:00:00:00, instead of display timecode camera recorded, even though I have "Use Media Source" selected in the preferences.  If I take the same clips in Quicktime or Final Cut Pro, they read the appropriate timecode.  It is a big deal, I need to be resolved.  All the solutions or is this a Bug Pro first.  I did some research and found that some people had this problem last year, but I've never seen a resolution.

  • Whats is the problem with OBJ files in Photoshop CC 2014?

    "What's up my fellow adobinites! Well, I want to start with, "I have a dilemma. When I open a .obj file in Photoshop CC 2014 there is an error each time but in reaction to the results, I torrented Photoshop Cs6 for educational purposes and testing and it worked flawlessly. It was the version 'More' then Yes. Also the .obj file worked after effects CC 2014 and with the other hand I think Photoshop 3d features just in I'm wrong.

    Also if you have files obj sites teem please me. I'll love you forever.

    Photoshop is misinstalled, or you've had alteration of the disc of the Photoshop files - it is a mistake to BONE, saying that it can not load part of the binary files required to use Photoshop.

    It has nothing to do with OBJ files.

    Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, then make sure that all of the updates are applied.

  • How to read the .txt adfLib pot file to the model layer by using the relative path

    Hello

    In my application, I use the ExtendedDynamicFldTbl (extends weblogic.wtc.jatmi.DynamicFldTbl), which the manufacturer requires the field file path table as a parameter.

    In the API, it is said that this name of path can be an absolute path, a relative path to the directory where Java has started, or a relative path that can be found as a resource on the classpath.

    I have created this ExtendedDynamicFldTbl to the model layer project, placed the fild_tbl.txt in a separate package and pass the path relative to the DynamicFldTbl constructor.

    Given my code below to get the instance of ExtendedDynamicFldTbl
    package model.tuxedo;
    
    public class ExtendedFldTbl  extends DynamicFldTbl
    {
    
        private static ExtendedFldTbl extendedFldTblinstance = null;
        
        public ExtendedFldTbl(String tablePath, boolean flag)
        {
            super(tablePath, flag);
        }
        
        public static ExtendedFldTbl getInstance()
        {
            if (extendedFldTblInstance == null)
            {
                URL url = extendedFldTblInstance.class.getResource("resource/fldtbl.txt");
                if (url == null)
                {
                    throw new RuntimeException("Tuxedo Service : fldtbl.txt is not found in the path 'model.tuxedo.resource' ");
                }
                extendedFldTblInstance = new ExtendedFldTbl (url.getPath(), true);
                String[] list = extendedFldTblInstance .getFldNames();
                System.err.println("fldtbl loaded. Total FML entries loaded = " + list.length);
            }
            return extendedFldTblInstance ;
        }
    }
    I just added the output of the build of the layer model to view the project of the layer and tested. It works fine and I am able to get the ExtendedFldTbl instance with all loaded fields. But rather than add dependencies, if I create an adfLibJar for the layer model project and you add to view the project of the layer, it does not work. It is not ablt to read the file of adf lib jar file.

    Issues related to the:

    1. How can I solve this?
    2. Although I have kept the field text file table in the source of the project itself, when I read the url, it is
    "C:/Documents and Settings/raguramanv/Application Data/JDeveloper/system11.1.1.4.37.59.23/DefaultDomain/servers/DefaultServer/tmp/_WL_user/SampleWtc/3gkmt9/war/WEB-INF/lib/SampleWtc_Model_adflibSampleWtc1.jar!/model/tuxedo/resource/fldtbl.txt"
    Instead of the physical directory, how can I use application in model layer context?


    Thanks in advance

  • How to save the metadata to RAW files (and not externally. XMP file)

    Hello

    I would like to record metadata (for example key words) in the RAW files and not externally. XMP file.

    How in Lightroom?

    Thank you

    Josh

    PS: XMP is a file format (=. The XMP files) or a metadata format that can be incorporated into one. XMP file or in the raw itself?

    You can not save the metadata directly in the raw file in Lightroom. You only can it save to a file, XMP - one text file with XMP as well as its file extension containing data that is written to the XMP format.

    To avoid the sidecar files, plan to convert your raw files to DNG. Metadata is written to these files in XMP format, but inside the DNG format.
