Hi All. I am trying to figure out a way to read the metadata of the smart cropped images. I see that images generate smart crops(via URLS) with whatever Image profile I set but I cannot find any property that is being created for the smart renditions in the JCR. I also sometimes see a property called “ips-job-handle”  of type “String[]” and e.g. value of “j|228284||CQ5_batch_upload_Dynamic Media Smart Crop_1612479939407|365187081” being created and it is not consistent across all the images uploaded. Also that property doesn’t give any information about how many smart crops are being generated. Is there a way to look for the metadata of the smart crops?

Hello, We have a requirement where we need to add custom field validation when creating a content fragment (CF) using a custom content fragment model (CFM).Currently when I create a CFM, I only see some limited option like can mark field as required or specify max char limit etc. But what if i need to create a custom date field called "Age" where I can specify Regex or logic that selected date can not be in past date etc, something like that... I know we can create custom data types which I can use in my CFM but I dont see option to add validations on field link Regex, compare values, compare date value with current time etc. We are in AEM 6.5.5.

Is it possible to share assets in the DAM with other websites in WP or another CMS?

We segregate all less used assets(inactive) to an archive folder in a dam path.These assets keep growing(thousands of assets) as we have daily job running which will move inactive assets to archive.To improve performance of asset search it would be useful to exclude the archive folder/path from search.What is best way to do so?

Hi Experts, We have a requirement to save the sort settings in the list view on the author (as in aatched screen) so that a user who frequently uses the same sort can return to those settings. For example, if a user sorts according to "size," the user will see that sort as a default when they return to list view. The saved sort can be per-user or per user groupsCan you help with how we can do t in AEM author? ThanksS~

Hello everyone! I am trying to upload images but the workflow is stuck in processing. A notification was received. Have anyone of you encountered this? 

Situation: 1 Author, 3 Publish instances using a shared file datastore (binaryless replication).What is the best way to run Data Store Garbage Collection?  Should it be run on all instances or really just Author since really, author will house all data?

Hi,We have Dynamic Media configuration and image url without any parameters(https://xx.scene7.com/is/image/mycompany/image) is of 400*267, as a result we adding a preset to increase height and width which makes all images uniform in size. But our requirement is that images needs to be displayed with original dimensions. If scl=1 parameter is used for an image( with original dimensions width=8589 and height=5726, says illegal image size. If original dimension is not possible for such images, we might want to have same aspect ratio.Any inputs on this would be highly helpful. ThanksSrikanth

GET http://host:port/api/assets/myfolder.json Returns an object that contains "entities", an array of objects where each is a folder within "myfolder"But when I do the same for a folder that contains assets...GET http://host:port/api/assets/myfolder/mysubfolder.json  There is no "entities" key at all."properties" is there (as well as "links", "class", and "actions"), and this contains paging information that shows me that there's something there ("total" > 0), plus I have links for "next" (and "previous" if I follow a "next" link), but I don't actually get the entities listing.Note: on the web interface, every asset has a flag that says "REQUIRED METADATA MISSING". Would this be why they are excluded from the API? Can that be changed?Note: I am a beginner with only 1 hour of experience with AEM! Just trying to do a simple integration with a project management app. Thanks!

Images changes in Master is rolled out to the page properties of live copies, but are not working for component level as lock is open. This forces authors to update images in all live copies manually.  Any way to get this working or other ways?

Hey Experts!  I have a business user who needs to download a special jpg rendition from a PSD (in bulk ~ 100 at a time).  We currently create the rendition, but the only way to download is to select them, click download and remove the "asset" option and select the rendition.   This works, but looking for a way to help make this easier and thinking Desktop or Asset Link might be a solution. Or what about creating a workflow? 

Hi All,In one of the pdf I observe that , view pages option is not visible, what could be the reason and how can we enable the option so user can view the pages of pdf. 

Hi Experts, Asset names are being cut-off during upload. It retains just first 50 characters of file name when uploaded from AEM UI, while the node name in JCR doesn't have any limit when tried to rename and save a node from CRX directly. We have figured out a UI customization on changing the limit from 50 to another number, but I'm just trying to understand if there's any under-the-hood technical reason why Adobe restricted it to 50 characters. Thanks.

I'm using AEM 6.3My servlet config is@Component(service= Servlet.class, property={ Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION + "=Example Servlet", "sling.servlet.methods=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_GET, "sling.servlet.resourceTypes="+ "my-project/components/general/my-component ", "sling.servlet.extensions=" + "html", "sling.servlet.selectors=" + "simple" })As you can see I'm not using a page as a resourceType so I'm a little confused. Can anyone tell me what will be the url to hit on browser so it runs my doGet Method. And yes My servlet works as I have tested it by giving path.
