Script to: Make defaults specific to camera serial number? How?

[Pedro Cortez Marques]

I was trying to find a way of activating by script the preferences to activate the color profile by serial camera id.

It is just to turn on this option on bridge Camera Raw Preferences:

Edit > Camera Raw Preferences > Make defaults specific to camera serial number (to ON)

I have a contralized multi-studio color profiles calibration that are updated daily when any computer starts bridge or photoshop, and it is all done by script automatically.

It is just this line that is missing and I couldn't activate it by script.

There is no mention of setting this field in the documentation, so it may be held it the binary preferences in the registry. Maybe you could examine this?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Camera Raw\8.0

So simple and I couldn't find it.

It is on the same folder as the xmp color profile sidecars.

File(Folder.userData + "/Adobe/CameraRaw/Defaults/Preferences.xmp");

DefaultsSpecificToSerial="True"

Solved!

Hi, found it as well and here is a script to set it to true.

#target bridge
var crsPrefs = new File( Folder.userData + "/Adobe/CameraRaw/Defaults/Preferences.xmp" );
setMetadata(crsPrefs);
function setMetadata( file){
try{
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
  if(file.exists){
     file.open('r');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix"; 
     file.open("r", "TEXT", "????");
     var xmpStr = file.read();
     file.close();
     }else{
         var xmpStr='';
         }
     var xmp = new XMPMeta( xmpStr );
   xmp.deleteProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/camera-raw-settings/1.0/", "DefaultsSpecificToSerial");
    xmp.setProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/camera-raw-settings/1.0/", "DefaultsSpecificToSerial","True");
     file.open('w');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix"; 
     file.write( xmp.serialize() );
     file.close();
     }catch(e){alert(e+"-"+e.line);}
};

Thanks!

I had already done it, but not using XMPMeta (done it cheating...)

But this is the right way.

Thanks!
