Importing Images as Referenced and Keeping track of Imported Folders.

I'm not sure how to even go about describing this issue other than to relate it to the way Lightroom handles the same situation. I'm trying to figure out how to keep track of the specific folders of images I Import in to Aperture to make sure that all have been imported properly. In Lightroom, in the left panel, you see an exact replica of the folders/images as they appear on the drives thay were Imported from. You then have the option of creating your own specific Gallery of Images, something similar to Projects, that show up below the Imported folder tree.
In Aperture, there is no way to see the folder structure that the images came from that I know of. When importing thousands of images this can get very confusing and lead to missing groups of images. Images that nver get Imported. Does anyone know if we can set Aperture up in a similar fashion as Lightroom or does anyone know if a workaround that accomplishes a similar goal?

Lightroom can show you the exact structure of the files on disk.
Aperture has an abstraction layer between the files on disk and the files it manages.
This is both a blessing and a curse, depending on what you want.
In Aperture when you import you can select "Leave images in their current location." That should work fine, and give you referenced images. I personally have never seen this fail, but in the event that it did, and for example 102 of 106 images were imported, I don't really know of an easy way to show via Aperture what didn't get imported.

How to pop the stack and keep track of charFlag, in C?

/* Below is am popping the stack, which works, but it does not keep track of the charFlag variable that is pushed onto the stack. Can you help me with modifying this *char pop (stackNodePtr ptr) so when it pops the value from the stack, and keeps track of the charFlag?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance!!!
Note: This posts is an offspring of my previous question: _"Why is the stack, written in C, converting + to ascii 42 ?"_. I want to thank Xnav for the excellent suggestion of including a character flag to keep track of the datatype being pushed onto the stack. Thank you etresoft for variable renaming comment.
typedef struct stackNode {
int value;
int charFlag;
struct stackNode *next;
}stackNode;
typedef stackNode * StackNodePtr;
char pop( StackNodePtr *ptr )
if( StackIsEmpty(*ptr))
printf("
Pop attempted, but the Stack is empty, or underflow");
exit(2);//needed stdlib.h to work
else
char sTop;
StackNodePtr old;
if( (old = (StackNodePtr ) malloc( sizeof (StackNodePtr) )) == NULL )
printf("
No memory left for pop operation");
sTop = (*ptr)->value;
old = *ptr;
*ptr = (*ptr)->next;
free(old);
return (sTop);

//I added a global variable int gCharFlag to keep track of the popped charFlag. Will the code below work, or should I just return (*ptr)? Thank you once again!
//struct, typedef and gCharFlag are stored inside of a .h file

How can I sync photos from my PC to my I Pad 2 and keep them in the folders (albums) they are in?

On my PC, all my photos are in folders named for topic or year and they used to sync that way onto my I phone and I pad. Now when I sync to my I pad, they are all jumbled up into the wrong folders (albums) - really mixed up in no particular order. Can anyone help with how I can sync and keep them in the folders they're in on the PC?
Thanks

Thanks - that helped. But when I tried to sync all my photo folders to the I pad 2, I tunes would add some but not all of the ones that were marked to sync, end the sync, then the I pad 2 would hang with the wheel turning, saying it was still syncing photos, and it would not end and the remaining folders of photos never appeared. I finally had to sync and re-sync over and over by adding one folder of photos at a time, then another and another.

HT3680 I get the message 'your startup disc us full' at random time point I'm trying to import photos to iPhoto and get'iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library'.

I get the message 'your startup disc us full' at random time points. I'm trying to import photos to iPhoto and get'iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library'. This is a new Macbook Pro and all my files were transferred from my old Macbook.

What size internal drive do you have and how much of it is used?

Incompatibility issue with imported images losing keywords and other metada

I am reposting this with a more descriptive title in hopes that the powers that be will look into this. This really nice piece of software is currently doubling the time in my workflow by having to re-input keywords, etc. after importing.

I am getting the opposite result. I have lost a lot of my keywords and various other data input in Bridge. Is there a setting I'm missing? I also put in Country name, city, state, contact, etc. in my Brdige metadata, but this is not importing with the RAW files. I am referencing images if that matters, although it shouldn't.

Posted: Nov 18, 2006 3:25 PM in response to: Egg

I also used Bridge/ACR to rate and add keywords to RAWS (Canon) and also used Adobe DNG converter to make DNG files from these.
No ratings or keywords have imported for any RAWs and DNGs. And, for some DNG files (which I can see in Bridge and iViewMedia), they cannot be displayed in Aperture. It's very strange since I've used the same workflow to create the DNG files over the past year. Some can be imported/viewed, some cannot be viewed. All originally from the same camera/RAW file. I've read in this forum that Aperture cannot read things like keywords from sidecar files.
I am hopeful that Apple will make DNG sidecar file import a big priority.

I have been testing Lightroom since beta 2, but after reading The DAM Book, I decided to hold off committing to LR since it was not clear that it would fit into the workflow recommended in the book.
I had processed some of my recent photos, adding ratings and keywords (and doing some editing - but I knew that was not necessarily permanent due to LR's incompatibility with PS/Bridge when it came to metadata).
I had briefly looked at Aperture a while back, but was turned off by the price (then $500) and the fact that it couldn't reference the original files. When the 1.5 demo came out with its improvements, I tried it and loved it! After much thought about the workflow I had developed, I decided that I could alter it so that Aperture would fit in - in fact it would be my main app (giving up Bridge/ACR/iViewMedia Pro).
As per The DAM Book, I had begun converting my Canon RAWs to DNG (fortunately kept most of my RAWs). The first thing I discovered in the demo (I have since purchased the app, 1.5.1) was the fact that none of my ratings and keywords came through. Also, I used the color labels in Bridge to help during the evaluation phase, those didn't come through either, but I expected that. As I also noted in the previous post, some of my DNGs can't be viewed in Aperture even though they can be viewed in Bridge and iViewMedia.
Fortunately, I had not "processed" all that many photos in my collection, so I can easily start again with the ratings and keywords. BUT there will be many photographers who have, and if Aperture hopes to tempt them away from LR or the other workflows, the Apple team should seriously consider providing support for Adobe's keywords/ratings found in sidecars and perhaps in DNGs. Also, good support of DNGs might be another thing to look at, as many users have been converting from RAW as I have.
Just my three cents (inflation).

How to register and keep track on item packaging during transactions

Hi,
I have items which I receive in inventory under different packaging. I want that when I receive or issue it from the warehouse, I keep track also on the packaging that the transaction is done.
E.g. Oil for vehicle engine:
Item parameters: "10x40"
Manufacturer: Elf
I receive:
100 liters, 100 pieces, package: 1 liter.
500 liter, 100 pieces, package: 5 liter.
I want to know that I have in total 600 liters of Oil 10x40 of manufacturer Elf and from the other hand I want to know how many pieces of 1 liter and how many of 5 liters I have.
Please help me to configure this in INV module.
Thank you.

Hi Glen,
Thanks heaps for your reply! Sorry I am so slow to implement it, send it to my client, and then realise it is borked still! I went with the storing the ICalUid (which I think IS the CleanGlobalObjectId you mentioned after I dissected the blogs you
posted) in my database. I stored the ICalUid of the appointment on the server, and the ICalUid of the one I created on the client in it's SQLCE database. This allowed me to find one from the other for updates and deletes or so I thought. Updates
are fine. But I still cannot find the deleted appointment on the server, or get enough info from the server, to find the right item to delete on the client. I can no longer access the ICalUid of the appointment on the server because first I have
to find the appointment in deleteditems or recoverabledeletions folder to get the ICalUid (or CleanGlobalObjectId). SyncFolderItems returns the subject but not startdate so I cannot search in deleted etc using that combo and I don't feel subject alone
will be reliable enough at all. So, what you proposed works beautifully, but not for my initial problem, which was deleting.
Maybe this is microsoft fault but SyncFolderItems does not seem to return enough info to perform an accurate delete of an item. If it helps at all I am following this example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/ee693003(v=exchg.80).aspx but
of course the good folks at MS haven't filled in the important bits!

Imported images upside down and blurred Lightroom 1.4

Hiya everyone. First post on here so I hope I am putting this in the right place but hope you can help me. I have had a trawl through the archives but havent seen a fix for this problem.
When I try to import images direct from my camera (Canon EOS 30D)into Lightroom, they have started to be displayed on the IMPORT page upside down and very poor quality. If I go ahead with the import they are displayed in LR proper in the correct orientation and clear quality.
I have done a system restore back to a few days ago when it was working ok, and have tried uninstall and then reinstall. I have also taken my camera back to its default settings in case that is the cause, but nothing has worked.
I am using the following -
Lightroom 1.4
Dell Studio 1535 laptop
Windows Vista
Intel Core Duo @2GHz
4GB Ram
Hope you can help as I am wary of putting all my photos on LR now in case it fails - I am using Picasa as a storage instead.
Thanks everyone

Are you going straight from the camera? Take my advice - don't. Use a card reader instead.

Import ID Configuration Scenarios and keep the same Business System names

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to transport ID Configuration Scenarios Objects between 2 XI systems and keep the same names for both sender and receiver Business Systems ? That is, to skip the SLD lookup for transport Source and Transport Targets systems ?
I tried to create the same Business Systems under the same name twice, but this was not possible. Any ideas ?
The reason is that I want to transport all the objects from one XI DEV server to another XI DEV server.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Evaggelos Gkatzios

Hi,
We have done same but with bit of manual work (without Transport).
Create SLD object in target system with same name as in Souce XI system SLD.
IR & ID was exported using TPZ files from Source system & were imported in Target system.
It used same object names in both XI systems.
Regards
Sushil

ITunes 11 and keeping track of number of times a track is listened to

iTunes 11 does not keep track anymore of number of times a song is played. It keeps the number you had before but does not increase the number after it is played. Anybody else has the same problem?

For that you need to have a shift register or a feedback node and keep counting whenever the case structure case is executed the count will be increased by one see the attached snippet.
Good Luck
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

Importing images but referencing?

Hey
Just wondering.....I want to import all my photos into a new "Project" which I assume is what you use when first setting up Aperture?
However it seems when I import that my local disk space is being used by these, however I only want to "Reference" these images located on an external drive?
How do I confirm where each image is "stored", there doesn't seem to be a "Properties" of each image which shows the location of the image unless it is a "Managed Reference File"?

There is typically a badge in the lower right corner of the photo that indicates if an image is referenced.
You specify whether you want images to be referenced or not when you import them -- it's part of the dialog. You can always change things later by "consolidate library" or "relocate masters" options under the Aperture menu. You should also be able to see/show the original via a menu option.
As far as local disk space -- not sure how this follows. Be aware that typically referenced files get preview images generated, which will take up some disk space. How much depends on the image size you pick (fit to monitor saves a lot of size), as well as the preview quality.

Camera Raw problem; images appearing soft and without definition on import

Can anyone help? I am having problems with ACR version 4.6 ( I cannot upgrade ACR without upgrading to CS5). When I open a RAW image in ACR, the image appears soft, and with poor definition. As a result, they have failed quality control for upload to the Alamy picture library, despite having been shot with a Nikon D3. I am simply opening them with ACR defualts, then opening to photoshop.
The files open fine in Lightroom and Nikon Capture NX, however I prefer to use ACR for my workflow. Any suggestions? I don't what to shekll out for CS% if the problem is still there.
Thanks, Robin

Have you tried resetting defaults? It sounds like either your Camera Raw default settings have been changed, or sharpening has been set to Previews only.
1. Open an image in Camera Raw, select the Details tab, and check that setting are like defaults: Amount 25, Radius 1.0, Details 25, Masking 0. You can always reset defaults from the little menu icon on the right of the panel title.
2. Check Camera Raw preferences, looking for the item: 'Apply Sharpening to:' and make sure it says 'All images'.
You might want to check other preferences too, especially the 'make defaults specific' settings, which, when used, create multiple default settings depending on camera and ISO.

I'm organising my Aperture library today and I'm going to go through my photos folder, import the images to Aperture and then delete the original folders. Just curious if deleting the source folders is a big no-no or not.

Topic title basically sums it up.

Alright. For my case was, my source files are inside the Document folders. Since importing the pictures into Aperture, deleting the source files/folders did not cause any problems with Aperture.
Whether it is a good idea or would depend on how comforatble you are with the idea in the first place. On one hand you can save up precious hard disk space, while on the other if the Aperture library gets corrupted, you might lose everything. Of course, having a backup of the Aperture library helps, as well as a time machine backup of it. On top of that you can also have an Aperture Vault to backup the library to a external drive.
In summary i think a reasonlable backup plan is just as important regardless of whether or not the source file is in which location. For my case, i only have the Aperture library as all of my source. A time machine backs up everything including my library, in addition to that, i also use Aperture Vault to back up to another external drive just in case.

Imported images from my iPhone became corrupted after importing.

I Imported images from my iPhone and they became corrupted after importing. They appeared fine just after import, so I unfortunately erased my phone. When I reopened the aperture project where they were stored they had streaks, some were only partially visible, and others had no image just an exclaimation point with the words "incompatible file". thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

What you describe are very typical symptoms: You import; the images look to be o.k.; you go ahead and delete them. The problem is that during the import you only see the previews created by your camera, not the actual images you are importing. When you afterwards try to edit or to enlarge the images Aperture will recreate its own, better previews and needs to access the original master image files. If Aperture cannot find the master image files or cannot open them, you may see warnings (unsupported) or corrupted thumbnails. Only then you will notice if the images have been imported correctly, and that may be too late, if you deleted the images from your camera.
How did you import? Are the imported master image files managed or referenced, i.e. included in the Aperture Library or referenced outside?
I'd suggest you look directly at the master image files to check if they are o.k. and can be read by other applications.
If your master image files are managed you'll find the images in the Aperture Library by right-clicking the Aperture Library package and selecting "Show Package Contents". Then Browse the folder "Masters". The master image files are stored in subfolders organized by the date of the import session.
If your master image files are referenced, open the folder where you told Aperture to move them to.
Check for two things:
Have all your images really been imported?
What is the format and the state of the images? Try to open the images with Preview, or any other image editor you have and check if they really are corrupted, or if only Aperture has a problem to access them.
If all your images are there, but Aperture cannot access them, your Aperture library may need fixing.
Back up your Aperture library (just a precaution) and use the Aperture Library First Aid Tools to repair the permissions or/and to repair the database; see this section of the Aperture 3 User Manual on how to do that: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
If repairing and rebuilding did not help, but you found the original masters and can read them, then copy them to a location outside Aperture and try to convert them to another file format with Preview or another application that can read them. Then try again to import those files to Aperture.
Post back, if you have more questions.
Good Luck

Disable keeping track of recent folders?

Is there a way to disable Tiger from keeping track of the recent folders that have been opened
through Go>Go to Recent Folder?

Hi Mark,
In System Preferences > Appearance > Number of Recent Items
choose "None".
You can also use OnyX ( > Parameters) to customize Recent Items in some applications where it is normally not possible to do it through its Preferences.
In these cases choose zero instead of the default 10.
