  • IPTC stands for International Press Transmission Council

    The IPTC was established in 1965 by a group of news organisations including the Alliance Européenne des Agences de Presse, ANPA (now NAA), FIEJ (now WAN) and the North American News Agencies (a joint committee of Associated Press, Canadian Press and United Press International) to safeguard the telecommunications interests of the World’s Press.
    Since the late 1970’s IPTC’s activities have primarily focussed on developing and publishing Industry Standards for the interchange of news data.

  • Searching for a table of IPTC data that can be asccessed thru IrfanView. IrfanView allows to view, add & modify Exif & IPTC data. So we’re gonna use IPTC to add lossless metadata to our photos. But what fields to use (we can device our own table, using « caption » as a title for picture, for instance. But we prefer standards…

  • All you ever wanted to know about the EXIF format used by digital cameras

    JPEG is not a file format. It is a compression algorithm whose name derives from the committee that oversees it. (…) What most people understand as JPEG is really JFIF – the JPEG File Interchange Format.(…) JFIF markers begin with a short signature that identifies the type as a COM (comment) or an APPx (application-defined) marker where ‘x’ is a number. A COM-type marker should be used for user-supplied descriptive text. APP0 markers are employed for various things, so as well as being identified as APP0 they are further sub-classified for specific purposes. Some of these are native to the JFIF standard. Others are extensions created by software authors and hardware manufacturers to store information not catered for in the standard APP0 markers. (…).
    In addition to the APP0 markers are other APPx markers, also used for special purposes. For instance, APP13 is employed by Adobe Photoshop to store information about the image in a format that is a sub-set of the standard defined in by the International Press Telecommunications Council Information Interchange Model (IPTC-IIM).

  • Need to keep this explaination by rbf (in the TBP thread) in store, could be useful one day…

    I’ve solved some problems the « not necessarily best method » way. Normally, when you uninstall an extension, only the .rdf’s pointing to the directory are removed, but the extension still exists. Sometimes items don’t uninstall or disable at all. When that happens, the only way to clean up a profile is:

    1. make a zip backup of your entire profile in case the next steps really hose it up. I zip up my program directory too. You have to do this while the browser is shut down or you will get zip errors on files in use.
    2. use file-explorer to go to the top of the profile tree, and search for « extension name » in the text search entryfield. This should display any .rdf files pointing to the extension.
    3. edit those files and remove the instances of the extension name CLEANLY… get the .... or so you dont make xml errors.
    4. remove the jar directory.
    5. restart FF.

    This doesn’t work for the Tinderbox status icon. I have to leave the directory, else FF never displays. It would be nicer if the extension directories were not the classId, so it is easier to find particular extension dirs. Clav names his with a simply « cards », or « goup » and they are easy to locate.

  • Build Your Own (Rated: should be good, lists Ben Goodger!)

    This is not a tutorial on writing Firefox extensions because there are already good ones out there on the web (see below). Here I give references to full tutorials, and then provide my own tips about tools and publishing that are not covered in the tutorials.
