How do I sort searches by project?

I am evaluating Aperture at its new lower price and really like it apart from one thing. When I do a search in iPhoto, or create a smart album, I have the option of displaying the results organised by event. This is great as I can, for example, search for San Francisco and get the results split by the trip I took them in. Nice.
As far as I can see, this is not possible in Aperture. A search of photos or a smart album just gives me a load of photos. I can set metadata to show the project name for each photo but that isn't the same. You have to look closely where one project starts and the next ends. The closest I can get is to search in projects and sort by folder. Now assuming that all my project are in folders (which they aren't and don't otherwise need to be) I get a nice view of projects (events in iPhoto speak) sorted by folder. However, this gives a preview of each project not each picture. In iPhoto I get the actual pictures in the events.
I'm amazed that I can't find a way to do this. Surely, when doing a search, its likely that the person is going to want to easily see where/when they took the shots.
Although Aperture has some great advanced organisational capabilities, it doesn't seem so advanced at the basics.
Does anyone know a clever way to do what I need?

Hi Andy. Welcome to the user-to-user forum.
Afaik, this is not possible with Aperture. I agree that it would be useful, and seems to a missing feature. Projects view appears to me to be added on to the side of Aperture, and not yet fully integrated with it. The collapsible Events in iPhoto would be a most welcome feature in Aperture (for Projects).
The lack of full integration of Projects -- with expanded metadata for Projects, a fully expandable/collapsable hierarchical Projects view, and the ability to show Projects view in one browser and images in another -- is one of my top criticisms of the current version of Aperture.
You can make feature requests to Apple via the Aperture menu. Select "Feedback".
While in Projects view you can skim Projects to see individual images.
You might be able to get a good bit of what you want by rigorous use of a Project-naming convention. (The search field in Projects view searches the Project name and description, and is different from the search field in Image view. +I think+ the search field in Projects view is the same as the search field at the top of the Library Inspector.)
You can also use the Project description field for tagging Projects. "{Shift}+i" brings up the Project description HUD.
You can go from a Project search to images. Double-clicking the Project in Project view search results is similar to clicking the disclosure triangle in iPhoto's search results view.
You can go from an image search to a Project. Right-click an image and select "Show in Project". When you return to the container you searched, your search is still applied. (There is no automatic way to go back.)
These last two deliver much of the functionality of the integrated iPhoto view you miss. In practice, it is useful -- but never elegant.

How do I sort clips in the Project panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?

Two questions: How do I sort clip thumbnails in the Project Panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?
How do I "select" a group of 25 consecutive clips on the time line to form a group without having to click on each individual clip one at a time. The method in the Help menu about "alt" click does nothing for me.

Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
Good luck,

How change the sort order of searched items so last search item shows first. I DO NOT mean the order of search engines, but existing searches by down arrow key

I want to be able to change the sort order of items I have already searched for in the search box. I want to be able to hit the down arrow key and see my previous searches in the order of last search showing first. At the moment I have no idea how it is sorting and it's very annoying to have to re-type a query I typed 5 minutes earlier but because I typed in another 10 since it is lost somewhere in the list. Can this be done, I have googled but did not find the topic anywhere. Just to clarify, I DO NOT MEAN the order of search engines (which is all that comes up in google), I mean the actual text typed in which has been saved in the drop down list.
Thanks

The "form fill" feature uses a "frecency" algorithm, frequency + recency, similar to the address bar autocomplete list.
I found an extension that seems relevant, but the reviews are old so I'm not sure it's still working: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchbar-autocomplete-order/ Searchbar Autocomplete Order].
But... is the autocomplete not working? I would expect that typing a couple characters of the earlier query would filter the list so you can easily select it? Or is the problem that the list doesn't remember enough searches for that?

The backups for your version are date-time stamped as the name and with an extension of .fcpproject. They look like this.
The original project is named CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
You need to replace the CurrentVersion with the backup file and rename it to be CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
With FCPX closed, I suggest you move the original to the Trash, but not empty it. Then promote your backup one level higher in the project folder hierarchy (to be at the same level that the original previously occupied. Then rename the backup.
Open up FCPX, which should now recognize your project.

How to enable sorting in Search Popup dialog of inputComboboxListOfValues

Hi,
Does anyone know how to enable sorting in Search and Select popup dialog of af:inputComboboxListOfValues?
This is my problem:
1. I have a af:inputComboboxListOfValues, when I click on 'More...' (or Search...) link at the bottom of the combobox, the Search and Select popup dialog will appear.
2. This popup dialog will only contain one column, say that column is "Region". This column will contain all the Region Names that is sorted by Region ID (which is not visible).
3. When user mouse-over on the Header title ('Region') of this popup dialog, two arrows will appear. Up arrow which is equivalent to 'Sort Ascending' and Down arrow which is equivalent to 'Sort Descending'
4. But when user click on either of these arrows, nothing is happening. The sorting is not working at all.
Could someone please help me how to enable this sorting?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rei

How do I sort clips in the Project Assets window by date and time before dragging into the timeline?

I am using Elements 12 and don't seem able to sort clips by time and date (when using clips from different cameras) as we were able to in an earlier version of the program.

Roger A
I will think about it some more to make sure I am not overlooking anything, but, as far as can be determined, your sorting choices in Project Assets are under Sort by, with only two options:
a. File Name (ascending)
b. Duration (ascending)

How do I sort new iTunes store searched results (ie Popularity)?

New iTunes Store (Ver. 11.0) will not let me sort search results.
I'm almost certain this was a feature in older versions of iTunes store but can't get to work in new version.
Any help would be appreciated.

I too am having this problem. Just searched for a song title which threw up around 300 results - I could always sort those by artist or album or time (this was really useful as I buy a lot of remixes and used to sort by time - just looked first at the longest, often), etc. Additionally I cant widen the columne so cant see any of the titles fully even. The whole search results page seems completely useless. Classical searches will be a nightmare with hundreds of recordings and seemingly no way of sorting and cant even see the information fully. One thing I have discovered with this awful new ITunes is that after hours of playing around many things are in fact there - just in very odd places or in different (and less user friendly) set up . . . I have also had some fantastic help through these pages - thanks everoone.
This search result glitch does seem a real mistake surely ? If nothing else it makes me FAR less likley to buy - i cant find anything ! Lets hope I"they" cotton on to that effect and sortsit out . . . .

How to apply sort on an already dispaled resultset from a procedure

Hi,
I have a data block for which the 'query data source type' is PROCEDURE. When I query the block all the records in the procedure are displayed. Then I query for a specific value for the DATE column (ex: 27/07/2010) and it displays records for only 27/07/2010. Now I want to sort the displayed records.
My columns are DATE, TRANSACTION NUMBER, PROJECT CODE
I have a button each for DATE, TRANSACTION NUMBER, PROJECT CODE to do the sorting. When I click on the PROJECT CODE sort button , the already retireved records for 27/07/2010 must be sorted according to project code.
But this is not happening. The current coding will query the data block for all the records and then apply the sorting for DATE column.
Please advise.

Actually i don't know but what i gave u but i have read that If you attempt setting the where clause in the block it is totally ignored.
i hardly search just found the following...
Subject: How to Filter Rows on Block Based on Stored Procedure in Oracle Forms?
Doc ID: Note:1078147.6 Type: PROBLEM
Last Revision Date: 22-JUN-2004 Status: PUBLISHED
Problem Description:
====================
Whilst in ENTER QUERY mode you would like to specify a search criteria to
restrict the results of your query. The block on which this query resides
is based on a stored procedure.
Problem Explanation:
====================
If you attempt setting the where clause in the block it is totally ignored.
This happens with both the 'Ref Cursor' or 'Table of Records' variable.
Problem References:
===================
[Search Words: filter ]
Solution Summary:
=================
With Forms 5.0 and above, you can use the Tools--> Datablock Wizard menu
in the Object Navigator to enter the datablock wizard in a re-enterant mode.
You can then specify the query criteria there.
Alternatively, you can pass the query criteria from Forms to the stored
procedure as an IN argument. You can then use the parameter with the
select statement (in the procedure you have created using the 'Table of Records
or 'Ref Cursor').
Solution Description:
=====================
If the blocks were created using the Datablock Wizard with the
"stored procedure" radio button, you can always re-enter the datablock wizard
for that block by clicking on the Tools-->Datablock Wizard. If you go to the
Query tab on the bottom of the tab page you will notice that it requests the
name of the parameter. This is where you enter -
   :parameter.<parameter_name>
This method relies on having a parameter in the form that passes the
value, for example p_deptno, into the stored procedure. This is done in order
to get the corresponding records from the emp table for all employees who work
in that deptartment.
Additionally create a PRE-QUERY trigger and assign the value of the deptno you
are passing through this parameter using the following:
   (:parameter.<parameter_name>:= :dept.deptno).
If the blocks were created manually, however, YOU CANNOT use the re-enterant
option to go to the Datablock Wizard. For these type of blocks, use the method
suggested below.
METHOD FOR MANUALLY CREATED BLOCKS:
===================================
Re-enter the Datablock Wizard by using the Tools--> Datablock Wizard menu of the
Object Navigator. You will notice that you will not be able to see any
procedure in the Datablock Wizard in re-enterant mode.
To use this method, you will need to include one more parameter to your query
procedure as an IN parameter. For example, if you are passing deptno as query
criteria, click on the "Query Data Source Arguments" of your block property
sheet and include the following:
    ARGUMENT NAME: set to P_DEPTNO or (any variable name)
    TYPE: set to the appropriate datatype, for example, NUMBER
    TYPENAME: set to dept.deptno%type, for example
    MODE: set to IN
    VALUE: set to :dept.deptno(the :blockname.itemname you are passing
                               as query criteria.).
In the query procedure, include this parameter as an IN argument, and as the
2nd parameter. For example:
    Procedure empquery_refcur(emp_data IN OUT empcur, v_dno IN number) AS ....
Finally, include this paramter in your select statement of either 'Table of
Records' or 'Ref Cursor' as
    select empno, ename
     from emp
      where deptno=nvl(v_dno, deptno);But no chance to Sort it may be from inside the procedure itself.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Abdetu...

How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)? I tried backup & restore without success. I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there. Only the text that I entered shows. I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

UPDATE: By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored. When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer. Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location). No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact. I am appreciative that I just got lucky. The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help. If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product. Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed.
Bottom line: All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer. I hope my experience helps others.

Document Management / Full Text Search in Projects & SolMan Directory

Hello experts!
I want to implement Full Text Search in my SolMan and therefore need your help.
I have installed Trex 7.10 and am already able to search within my Solution Database (Problems/Solutions).
Now I want to be able to search within all documents in my SolMan Installation - e.g. Roadmaps, SAP Scenario Descriptions or my own uploaded documents.
In the IMG I already found the section Document Management but I cannot get the needed RFCs (IMSDEFAULT and IMSDEFAULT_REG) working.
There is already a RFC called IMSDEFAULT, which was created during the installation of Trex and runs the
Registered Server-Program: Trex_SOT_20080327090311
I tried to configure my RFCs according to the IMG but, as I said, cannot manage to get them working.
I hope anybody has an idea or an guide on how to implement Full Text Search!
Please be so kind and provide help - thanks in advance!
Best regards
Gerold

Gerold,
I am running into the same issues because we want to do full text search on project documentation within Solution Manager. The default RFC connections IMSDEFAULT_REG and IMSDEFAULT do not work with the standard settings.
We created one index for IWBSOLAR so maybe I also need to check IWBPROJ in SKPR06 for project documentation and create a new index for this one ?
The indexing for IWBSOLAR now fails although there seem to be over 6000 documents marked but none are put in the index. After indexing there is a list of the documents all with code 6401 but cannot find any where what this code means. It seems to be succesful as all entries are green.
Any help/suggestions on this topice would be greatly appreciated.

How to enable the search option for a column in an old report

Hi ,
I created the report. It works fine. I remember while creating the report, at one step, I was asked to sort, search column level (check option) . I skipped that option at that time. But now I want to check/ enable them . So, how and where to do that ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I think easiest way is re-create your report , so wizard do things for you.
Other vise you need create "search bar" region and items manually and edit report where clause.
You can first set your old report condition to never and create new report with same select.
When you are sure that new report working ok, you delete old report.

How Do I Sort Events by Event File Name?

Hi All,
Searched the forums extensively and can't seem to find anything on point. I'm trying to sort my events in iMovie appropriately and it's a challenge. Some of my events are recent, imported digital videos. Others are old VHS videos from the 80s and 90s converted through video capture devices. Others are simple videos filmed through my point and shoot camera. Bottom line, they only have a digital tag based on two things: the date they were imported into iMovie (analog stuff brought in through video capture) or actual digital tags from a digital video recorder.
So they only way to really get these events sorted correctly is to name them in a conventional "year-month-day" naming convention and sort, just like other files.
My problem is that I can't get iMovie to sort this way even after I successfully rename EVERY event (and there's like 150 events at this point).
Any ideas? It seems simple. How do I sort events WITHIN the iMovie application by event name?
Thanks,
-Ben (San Antonio)

Did the trick! I'd love it if there were a bit more of an assembly line capability to this, as I needed to change the creation date for 154 clips, which involved attaching, adjusting, removing, attaching, adjusting, removing...
Lot's of mouse work is all.
BUT it did the trick!
Thanks,

How do I sort by file type?

I was wondering how I can sort by file type? I have a bunch of .moi and .mod files in a directory and want yo delete the .moi files. If I could sort by type, then it would just be a matter of highlighting those and deleting. I tried sorting by kind, but since they are seen as Unix Executable files by the OS, it sorts them but not by .moi or .mod. Thanks in advance for your help.
MAC OS 10.6.8

I don't believe you can sort by extension. However, what you can do is to type .moi into the search field at the top of the Finder window where you see those files. That will initially show all .moi files on your entire computer. At the top of the displayed search results will the the text "Search:" followed by three choices. "This Mac" should be selected, but the name of the folder you were looking in will be the second choice... click that one. That will cause the search results to contain only files from that folder, containing the text ".moi", which should be the ones you're interested in deleting.
