Key Operations

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to asset syndication through drag-and-drop or copy/paste in

the user interface of Adobe Bridge CS3:

z Both source and target projects must be mounted before starting the drag-and-drop (or

copy/paste) operation.

z Both source and target projects must have authentication switched off; that is, no login

should be required for either project to complete the gesture.

z No conflict handling is implemented if an asset with the same name already exists in the

target project.

z De-syndication is not supported through the user interface; there is no explicit gesture to

de-syndicate an asset.

Customizing the Check-in Dialog: Metadata Capture and Enforcement

This feature provides the ability to extend and override the standard Adobe check-in dialog of

a Version Cue client with a customized check-in dialog; for instance, you may want to contrib-

ute your own check-in dialog when files are being added to a Version Cue project for the first

time, or every time a new version of a file is checked-in.

A customized check-in dialog can be seen if you are running Version Cue Server with the sam-

ple plug-in named sample.customdialog loaded, which is able to contribute resources to over-

ride the normal check-in dialog. General instructions on how to run samples are in Getting

Started with Adobe Version Cue CS3 Development (getting-started.pdf).

You can add assets en masse into Version Cue, using the ingest workflow; for instance, you can

drag-and-drop files from the desktop or from a folder in Adobe Bridge CS3 to a Version Cue

project, to add the files directly to the Version Cue Server without them being copied to the

local mount point of the project first. You have the opportunity to show a custom dialog when

adding files in this way, if you override the normal check-in dialog of Version Cue, as well as

when a new version of an existing file is being saved.

Figure 7 shows the dialog that is provided by sample.custommenu when adding files for the

first time to a Version Cue project. If you examine the JavaScript code supplied with this sam-

ple, which is sent from the Version Cue Server to the client when a user visits a project for the

first time, the code determines whether there is an existing version of the file on the Version

Cue Server using the client scripting interface (methods on the class VCVersion) and shows

one of two potential custom dialogs based on whether a file is just added or a new version of an

existing file.
