So I came across this article, which describes a tool called 'TagInspector'. Here's the containing article: https://lachlanwetherall.com/2014/09/holden-mylink-and-the-cover-art-conundrum/
The link to TagInspector shown in the article, goes to a Linux-centric website, that offers both Linux and Windows kits for TagInspector.
The bad news (for me) was that both Windows kits (32-bit and 64-bit) contain just a single file, a .exe, and when I run that, on both Win-10 and Win-7 computers, I get 'unknown runtime error 123', when I try to open any MP3 file.
(I sent a msg, via the 'Contact' tab, to that TagInspector distributing site, alerting them to that problem with their Windows'
kits. I don't know if/when I might ever get a fix for the problem.)
So, MEANWHILE, what my bottom-line issue now is, is how to find some ALTERNATE freeware 'id3-tag'-displaying software that, as this one
does, not only displays the VERSION# of ide-tags, but also shows the
CHARACTER-ENCODING in use. Specifically, whether the encoding is
ISO8859-1 or UTF16-BOM(Unicode).
[ If you read the article, it shows a screenshot, and explains why
this level of detail is needed, to resolve issues with album-cover
artwork not appearing correctly on certain in-vehicle touch-screen music players. His article pertains to in-vehicle consoles containing
"MyLink" firmware, whereas my vehicle (a 2015 Subaru) contains "StarLink" firmware. ]
So, my question is simply: Can anyone point me to some other id3-tag displaying software that, like TagInspector does additionally show the character-encoding? I'd want something that is offered in a
Windows-edition.
[ I have been using some freeware called "MP3tag", but I see no way to get it to show/confirm the character-encoding of the id3 tags. ]
TIA...
Ok, I've resolved this issue to my satisfaction.
(1) I updated an old Linux machine that had been on moth-balls, and
installed the Linux kit offering of TagInspector. It works fine on Linux
and I was able to confirm the character-encoding of the id3-info in the MP3 files in question.
(2) More importantly, after re-reading the initial article mentioned, it
appears that it must be the 'nature-of-the-beast'...i.e. that id3 version 1
tags are (always) encoded in ISO8859_1, whereas id3v2.x are (always) encoded
in UTF-16_BOM. As a result, I now see no further NEED to continue to
use TagInspector. My original app..."Mp3tag" will fulfill my needs
for an id3-tag application.
Cheers...

According to Microsoft ("Image Analysis" in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Enrich-your-SharePoint-Content-with-Intelligence-and-Automation/ba-p/194174, from May 21, 2018), we should be able to search for text within images.
Is this working for you/anyone? If so, I would like to know what you had to do to get it to work.
I have a SharePoint modern team site with PNG images that contain clearly readable text...but search will not find anything. I have requested re-indexing.
I have had a Microsoft Support request (#10638094) open since June 27 with this question/issue, and no one--even after escalation--has been able to answer it.
Based on the article above, it appears that "MediaService" column(s) should be added to the library to support this; however, I can find no such columns in the environment (using PnP export to review).
Naomi Moneypenny and Kathrine Hammervold highlighted this functionality at Ignite 2017 (https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/Microsoft-Ignite-Orlando-2017/BRK2181, about 27:00), but it doesn't seem to be available/working (at least not for me).
August 24: So, after research, digging yet further, I have an escalated support ticket at Microsoft (#10638094, unsolved) and there are conversations at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Intelligent-Search-Discovery/Search-for-words-in-your-images-in-Office-365/ba-p/135703, https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Enrich-your-SharePoint-Content-with-Intelligence-and-Automation/bc-p/236625, and Does Office 365 image search work? If so, how?. I have yet to hear of this functionality working for anyone. I will keep digging, and I will certainly post if I hear anything. J
After some digging, from official it seems already released at the end of 2017. However there is no any related doc or official guide to this Text in image search function.
The 2 way i can think of perform text in image search.
Perform OCR yourself on the image before uploading the image and embed the text in image metadata.
Use support image type like IIRC and TIF that image are recognized.
In your case, you can upload the image and have another column that contains text and apply metadata to the image in a list/ library column.
OneDrive in another hand also has this function. For example, search for things like "cat" and it * should* pull up most pictures you have of cats. Its more likely using tag as label for the image instead of reading the picture it self.
Also, i believe OneNote has its index recognizable text and handwriting. Maybe this can point you to the right directions.
*Microsoft Azure's computer Vision offer service to recognized text in image. Maybe this can help.
"Is this working for you/anyone?" Yes, I responded to this post elsewhere and see it posted here, as well. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you HOW to get it to work or to verify that it is correctly configured. I can only suggest a test for you to see if it is working for you, as it works for me. I have not tested every way in which it could or should work. I have only discovered it working with PNGs I inserted into Wiki Pages in SharePoint Online. Those PNGs are generated using Snag-It to take Screen Captures and I do not see where Snag-It would be doing any OCR on the image to embed anything, etc. OCR is not even in the Snag-It help file, so I believe the PNG files are just simple PNGs. I insert them into the SharePoint Wiki page, which uploads them to the Site Assets library. And, when I search for a word in the image, the image is returned as a result - not the Wiki page. So, suggest you try a simple test of just inserting a PNG with text in it into a Wiki Page and give the index a bit of time to run to see if it works for you.
It seems like the functionality has matured recently. I have been testing it more thoroughly, and I have documented the results in my blog at http://www.collaboration-foundry.com/SharePointImageAnalysis.
Bottom line: It works for me in OneDrive and SharePoint (modern and classis), but I've only seen it work on the out-of-the-box Document content type--which limits custom solutions somewhat.
It's cool functionality when it works. Looking forward to seeing Microsoft build on this.

Has anyone ever run across pain.008.002.02 format? It is an ISO standard used in Germany used for direct debit transactions. The problem I have is that although I had found documentation that talks about it, I did not actually find the XML Schema (pain.008.002.02.xsd) for it, which would be very useful in generating java bindings. Otherwise I will need to do this manually, which is simply hell. Does anyone know where I could find it? Its not on the ISO page with all the other formats. If the file has to be bought (I run in to places which could point to this), such information would also be very useful.
After hours and hours of searching, I found it in the ebics archive:
http://www.ebics.de/index.php?id=77 at the bottom of the page "Anlage3_Archiv_V2_5.zip"
Ebics is the official "Electronic Banking Internet Communication Standard" from the Deutsche Kreditwirtschaft.
I would download the SEPA Explorer, install it and then look in the install folder (SEPAExplorerV2\XSDFiles) for what you need (pain.008.002.02.xsd is in there).
Already generated Java bindings for the XSD you're looking for are in the Open Banking Tools (LGPL) here.
Xpage (listPostits.xsp) has a "View" container control, where one of the column is set "show values in this column as links".
Now, here comes "Strange behaviour".
When i work with this application on my own (developer) PC (Win XP, Chrome or IE), the Domino generate the link, which can't be really processed:
/servername/db/postit/postit.nsf/listPostits.xsp/onePostit.xsp?documentId=many_numbers&action=editDocument
Namely, the Bold-marked portion shouldn't be there ! This portion is the name of the XPage, where the View control is in.
When i work with the application from other PC (Mac, Firefox) then i get the correct link (the same as above but without the XPage name inbetween):
/servername/db/postit/postit.nsf/onePostit.xsp?documentId=many_numbers&action=editDocument
update: let us leave for the moment the differencies in generated links between two machines. The first question is - why the extra portion is inserted into automatically generated link?
After playing around i think i might have found the reason for this strange behaviour. Namely, the "Substitution" Rules on the server side. One of them is to substitute "*/postit/all" with "/db/postit/postit.nsf/listPostits.xsp"
If i switch it off, then the Links are generated properly. Still, it's pretty strange to me that these settings influence the way Domino generates the links. I thought it works on the fly with them and those settings have nothing to do with the way how Links are generated inside the application.
So, the help now is needed regarding Web Site Rule Topic, but for that, i guess, i have to create another topic. But in case somebody has some good Info on this, please share it with me. I'm a bit confused at the moment :)
Final Update: Spent some more hours of testing and the results confirmed the initial idea.
If i open the page with the standart URL, i.e.
http://servername/db/postit/postit.nsf/listPostits.xsp then everything is fine, links are generated properly. When i however open the same page with short URL http://servername/postit/all , then server adds the substitute URL (db/postit/postit.nsf/listPostits.xsp) to every single link he generates automatically to be used as the link to open/edit the underlying document.
Is it bug or feature ? Don't know.
As a workaround (because i want to keep simple URL's for the application) i have to manually generate links.
I posted a few threads the other day on the Watir General Google Group, one of which detailed my difficulty using set_no_wait on a validated text field (link below); and was asked by Jarmo Pertman whether it was in a frame. It is, and this concerns me a little; as sadly the site I'm testing is heavily frame-centric, with no immediate plans to modernise.
I recently migrated from an ageing Ruby1.8.6/Watir1.6.2 test environment to Ruby1.8.7-334/Watir2.0.1, and am now noticing more methods that are no longer working for me in frames. For instance, click_no_wait on a button that presents a new window works perfectly fine in my old environment, but not in my new one.
This is a question to the Watir developer group. Are no_wait methods known to be failing in frames in Watuir 2.0.1? If so, are they being addressed? If they're not, then I'll be forced to revert back to an archiac version of Ruby and Watir. For many reasons, I don't want to do this.
(Environment: Ruby 1.8.7-334. Watir 2.0.1. XP Pro. IE8)

from the comments:
Something occured to me last night; I had installed DevKit, which was required to get the FastDebugger working in Netbeans 7.0.1. After completely reinstalling Ruby1.8.7/Watir2.0.1 without DevKit, click_no_wait and set_no_wait now seems to be working for me. It means I'll have to use something else other than Netbeans to run my scripts, but at least my scripts work again.

I have a collection of photographs (about 30,000) which I'd like to put online. I've tried doing this before, over the years, with static image galleries, applications such as Gallery2, and self-rolled scripts. None have worked that well, as my requirements are fiddly, but it still seems like this should be a solved problem.
My photos are currently organised into folders named YYYY-MM-DD short album title, using Digikam.
I need a system that:
Is Free software, is essentially feature-complete, and has an active developer community.
Allows new photos and albums to be added and updated automatically with little more manual intervention than rsyncing the source directory on my computer to the web server, and rescanning.
Allows visitors to leave comments
Allows re-captcha or equivalant spam filtering and bulk moderation of these comments.
Reads tags from the IPTC Keywords field.
If it finds a tag named "friends", requires the user to enter a password to view.
If it finds a tag named "family", requires the user to enter a different password to view.
If it finds a tag named "private", does not display the photo at all, or even better, does not upload it to the live web server.
Reads descriptions from the IPTC Caption field.
Creates sane permalinks, e.g. http://example.com/2009/03/28/shortalbumtitle/IMG_0001.jpg
I acknowledge that I may be asking for something that doesn't exist, but I hope it does.
I acknowledge that answers may be something like "use Django and code the bits that don't already exist yourself", in which case do you have any tips? :)
Thanks.
Use Django and code the bits that don't already exist yourself.
Seriously. I was going to write that and was tempted not to when I saw you'd written it yourself, but it really does make the most sense if you have any familiarity with it!
I'd start with django-photologue 2. Get a basic gallery with tagging and comments working. You'll need a couple of pl's optional dependencies.
Then I'd write a custom import wrapper that allows you to rsync to a dir and update your library.
Comments are handled internally (through photologue, I think) but if not, there are plenty of comment apps that "just work". There is a recaptcha script that works as just another form field.
PIL can read IPTC
The URL structure is up to you =)
I'm finally getting around to doing this. I'm using a local python script to extract image metadata (tags, captions and timestamp) using pyexiv2, then rotate the image according to its EXIF orientation tag if appropriate, using PIL, and export a hierarchy of files to a temporary directory, where rsync uploads it to my host, and a remote python script (actually a Django app) imports the metadata into a Django DB.
