Creative Commons panel in PSU

[oversampling]

Hi all,

I am using Postgre server version of PSU (v 3.2.0.2075pg) on a Win7 and WinXP PC (both pointing to Postgre DB on a NAS, where also the images are phisically located).
It seems that the "Creative Commons" panel under "Details" differs between the 2 PSU versions: may I ask which one is in use in your system and what OS/PSU version are you running?
Thank you
Roberto

I see the first CC panel above on my Windows 7 system (PSU single user version).

On the Win7 machine, delete the file ccdata.xml in the folder %localappdata%\IDimager Systems, Inc. Then try again. The data will then be downloaded again from the Creative Commons site.

Vlad, Hert,

thanks a lot for your feedbacks! Deleting the file and re-opening PSU brought the correct panel back.
BTW: I guess the mismatch happended because the first time I opened the CC panel the laptop was behind a firewall and probably unable to contact CC site service.

Hert - I've run into a variation of this problem since the upgrade to version 2533. If I do a delete of the ccdata.xml file as suggested, the CC panel will come up correctly on the restart of PSU in its first use. If I try to use the CC button again, I get an information message of "Invalid variant type cast (0)" in that session and all future sessions, until I again do a delete of the ccdata.xml file (for one initial use). Should a copy of this file also exist in some other default directory? Or is it possible its not reconnecting to the Creative Commons website?

Rick,

Please upgrade to build 2558. This is an important update on PostgreSQL.

Also, in the 3.3 release the CC data is stored in the database for the Server edition. This way all users share the same CC data.

Here's a small script how you can remove it from the database (Tools->Scripter):

Code: Select all

Catalog.RemoveGUIDData(AdminID, 'CCDATA');
Say('Creative Commons data was removed');

When you use the button, the downloaded data is stored in the database again. The Server edition no longer writes or uses a ccdata.xml file, unless it exists on disk then it will be imported to the database and deleted.

Hi Hert

Thank you for the reply. I had already upgraded to build 2558 beforehand from 2533, but the problem continued to occur, which is why I posted. I also am using the single user version, so I am not sure if the references to the Server edition apply. Anyway, I ran the script that you supplied, and the message window from second line appeared. However, the problem, as stated initially, persists.
