A question about keyword tags

Is it possible in settings... or somewhere, to set it so that when you open (PrE9's) organizer instead of starting with keyword hierarchy list - it could open on keyword cloud view? I am not so keen on the hierrarchy method...
Thanks.

I did some experimenting in the Elements 9 Organizer.
1-- yes, when you close the Organizer then it does always seem to come up next time with the Thumbnail grid AND the Tags panel on the right is set to Hierarchy view. Then you must click on the icon for Cloud view.
2-- my conclusion is that if I click on the Cloud icon after starting the Organizer, then it was staying as Cloud in the Keyword Tags panel to the right of the Thumbnails for the duration that the Organizer is open.
3-- Note that if you use Full Screen for viewing your photos, then for the "Quick Organize" panel that drags out from the left side of the screen near the bottom, the default for Keyword Tags is Cloud. This is a different method of working which you may or may not like: however since it does set Cloud I decided to mention it.
FYI - to get to Full Screen you can use the pull down menu for the Display icon (that is next to the House icon on the top bar of the main Organizer screen). Choose the option "View, Edit, Organize in Full Screen". FYI - I usually select the thumbnails of the photos which I want to Organize before I go in to Full Screen.

Question about Id3-tags and song managem

Hello, I am getting ready to buy a Zen Touch 20GB in a couple of weeks and I have a few questions about the management software.
(Correct me if I am wrong about something)
) Are songs organized into groups by Genre instead of just folders like on the Ipod?
2) Are Id3-tags used instead of filename for identification?
3) What parts of the tag are needed besides title and artist?
4) Which version of tags does the Zen Touch recognize: Version or Version 2?
5) If I edit my tags using an external program such as Id3-TagIT, will the tags carry over to the Creative software and to the player?
Thanks a lot for your help. I want to make sure I have my music collection in order before I get my Zen Touch.

Example: Folder: Chicago Contents: Chicago .mp3 files Folder: Techno Contents: various Techno artist's songs What is the best way of organizing my folder system, so that the transition will be easy to the player?
Folders are pretty much irrelevant. What the software will do is look at the *tags* in the files and then use these to build the player's library.
Will imbedded folders work on the player? (like Techno->Crystal Method->Cystal Method .mp3's)
Again the player has no concept of folders, although if you set Techno as a Genre tag you will be able to view via this in the Music Library.
Or, am I misunderstanding how music is stored into the mp3 player. Instead of storing music in a "folder like" system (like the Chicago folder or Techno folder), does it store all the songs individually on the device? Then you have to sort it by artist, album, or genre?
Using your example, in the Music Library you have essentially three categories: Album, Artist, and Genre. So under Album you would see "Vegas" (the Crystal Method's album), under Artist you would see "The Crystal Method", and under Genre you would see "Techno" (and then either the album or artist under this... I forget which it is offhand).
Make sense?

Noob question about DIV tags

Learning DW and CSS so patience is in order .
I've being reading numerous posts here and on the web about avoiding tables for laying out web pages. I can see the advantages in terms of cleaner codes and easiness of updating and changing sites at a later time. So I started learning about DIV tags (although tables is very easy for me) and have practice a few times with fairly good results, love the absolute positioning with it. Having said that, for the love of me, can't find a way of centering horizontally a page designed with DIV tags (due to ignorance), for example, 1 column/three rows page, after defining styles, size and colors I enclosed everything in another DIV tag, wrapper I think is called, but have not found a way of centering it on the page, text-aligment on the DIV tag only centers the text not the DIV itself, how to go about this? Help is appreciated.

love the absolute positioning with it.
Get over it. It's a trojan horse. Absolute positioning is not a general layout method.
To center ANY block (non-absolutely positioned) element, use CSS to give it a width and left/right margins of 'auto'. For example -
<div id="foo">...</div>
That div will be centered with this CSS -
#foo { width:300px; margin:0 auto; }
I think you are on the wrong path already, though. Stick with tables (which you say are very easy for you) UNTIL you a) understand CSS well enough to understand what absolute positioning is and why I say it's bad, and b) understand how to use float, margin, and padding to place things on the page. Then you are ready to move away from tables.

Questions about keyword hierarchy

I'm in the process of designing and building a keyword hierarchy for LR3.5, and I'm at a loss to understand a couple of things.
In the process of deciding how to build this, I've looked at a number of hierarchies people have posted to the web. One thing I've noted is that people sometimes have the same word in multiple hierarchies, and sometimes the same word as both a regular entry and as a synonym. For example:
Architecture
      Building
          Church
                  {Cathedral}
          Cathedral
          Skyscraper.....
Cities
      Building
      Cathedral....
So what happens if I use the keyword building?
I *think* what will happen is that LR gives me a choice of selecting Building>Architecture OR Building>Cities. Is that correct?   Is there a way to get Building, Cities AND Architecture? What happens if I select Cities? Do I get ONLY cities, and none of the lower level keywords?
And I'm at a total loss about synonyms. If, while applying keywords to an image, I select the synonym {Cathedral}, under Architecture, what keyword(s) get assigned to the image? What if I select Church? And what if I select Cathedral under Cities?
Many thanks.

Thanks web-weaver.
I posted basically the same question in a couple of other places, and got conflicting answers. And the information I found on web searches tended to explain HOW to set up a hierarchy, but not how it really worked, and information on synonyms is especially limited, and often conflicting. So I did some tests. So as to not use any words that were already in my keyword list, I built a simple hierarchy of words not currently in use:
Colors
    Blue
        {Cyan}
        {Azure}
    Red
        Pink
                        Salmon
        Rose
    Green
        {BRG}
        {Emerald}
    Cyan
    Orange
Fruit
    Orange
    Apple
(I actually had a couple of other trees, but this is enough to demonstrate how they actually work.)
And it turns out synonyms don't work quite like I expected them to, and are, honestly, so limited I question their value.
Test1: Tag a photo with the keyword Cyan. Only Cyan gets applied to the metadata, not any of the words associated with it (Blue, Colors, Azure). Searching, I can find the image by searching on Cyan, or Colors. But NOT by searching on Blue.
Test2: Tag a photo with the keyword Blue. Only Blue gets applied to the metadata, not Cyan, or Azure. When searching, I can find it by searching on Blue, or any of it's synonyms (Cyan, Azure), or Colors.
(I had expected synonyms to work the other way, I think. So that if I searched on Blue I'd get all images tagged with Blue, but also those tagged with Azure and Cyan. )
Test3: Tag one photo with Cyan, and another with Blue. Searching with Cyan gets me both images, as does searching with Colors. Searching on Blue gets me only the image tagged with Blue.
Test 4: Tag a photo with the word Colors (and nothing else). I find it by searching ONLY on colors, not Blue, Cyan, or Azure.
Test 5: Tag a photo with the word Red (and nothing else). I find it by searching on Red, or Colors, but not Pink or Rose.
Test 6: Tag a photo with the word Pink (and nothing else). I find it by searching on Pink, Red or Colors, but not Salmon.
Test 7: Tag one photo with Orange->Color, and a second image with Orange->Fruit (this nomenclature seems backwards to me, btw. It's really Fruit-Orange and Color-Orange, but whatever...) Searching on Orange finds both images. Searching on Color finds only one, searching on Fruit finds only the other.
Synonyms affect only search, and not tagging (assignment). Searching on a term that is a synonym will find images tagged with the main word. (e.g., search on Azure and you'll find Blue, but not Colors).
On another site someone replied that when you search you'll find "any image which bears that keyword or any keyword BELOW it in the hierarchy." That's backwards, at least as I understand the word "above.". You'll actually find images using the keyword, it's alias, or any word ABOVE it in the hierarchy. So if an image is tagged with Red, you can find it by searching on Red or Colors, but not Pink. If the image is tagged with pink, you can find it with Colors, Red or Pink, but not Salmon.
The worst limitation of using synonyms is that when you're tagging an image, LR3 isn't smart enough to know the synonyms exist. So if I tag an image with the word Azure, LR3 doesn't substitute Blue, or use the synonym where it already exists in the hierarchy. Instead, creates a new, top level entry named Azure, not tied in any way to the alias or the "Colors" tree.
It seems like it would be useful to be able to enter Blue as a search term and find any images tagged with Azure and Cyan. Or enter Red as a search term and find Pink and Rose, too. The way it's implemented now forces you to enter the term you're most likely to use (Blue, for example) at the bottom of the hierarchy, and the least used words above. Or to use synonyms, and hope you never get confused an enter a synonym as a keyword instead of the word it refers to.
It seems to me it's more useful to just use Azure as another keyword beneath (or maybe above) Blue in the hierarchy. At least that way if I tag an image with Azure, I'm not creating a new entry in the Keyword list. I'm not sure I see much value in synonyms as they're currently implemented, but if someone has some examples of how synonyms benefit them I'd be delighted to see them.
Hopefully this information will be of use to someone.

Question about id3 tags

i had all of the fields of all my songs just how i liked them. i thought itunes had written everything i had edited into the id3 tags of all the songs. apparently, it didn't work.
i am using another software called serato. i took the mp3's whose tags i edited in itunes and imported them into serato. i know this program is able to read all versions of tags, so i found a suggestion someone made to strip the id3 tags. this process called for selecting all the songs, converting the id3 tags to "none", then changing them back to a certain version (v2.3 or v2.4).
after doing this, i take a look at my itunes library and about 80% of all my songs have their tags messed up. either the genre is back to what it was before i changed it a while ago, or (more annoyingly) the song titles are all truncated to a certain length.
1. is there any way to undo this? or am i going to have to manually go back and re-edit all the fields?
2. is there a better way of ensuring itunes is correctly changing the id3 tag fields? for example. if i edit the id3 tags on itunes on one profile on my mac, then take the same mp3 file and import it into itunes on another profile, the id3 tags seem to not have been changed at all.
help anyone? this whole thing has got me really frustrated. thanks in advance.

In Serato setup, check box Read iTunes Library. However this doesn't solve the problem, only creates yet another location for cleaning up....
Having somewhat same issue: Converted all id3 from iTunes succesfully, but couldn't import files correct on other macbook in iTunes (same version)?!?!? Doesn't read id3...

Simple question about custom tags really easy!!

I am trying to make my own custom tags, so far i have created simple one that have i use for heading or to set the page layout for a jsp page, My question is I want to make a custom tag with a body , with a start and end tag can anybody give a simple example of a custom tag which has a body.
I do not mean write me a tag i mean what could a tag with a body be used for? Can you give me some example of what a tag of this kind could do?

Thanks having read that and some other pages i have another question:
would it be possible to put the following code into a custom tag so that i can pass in a list and have it output it to a table?
<TABLE >
<%
out.println("<TABLE >\n" +
                "<TR BGCOLOR=\"#FFDDAA\">\n" +
                " <TH>ID Number\n" +
                " <TH>Artist\n"
Iterator it = pricePassed.getpricePassed().iterator();
while( it.hasNext() ){
   MySite.VideoBean vids = (MySite.VideoBean) it.next();
   out.println( "<TR>\n" +
               "<TD><Center><B>" + vids.getRecId() + "</TD>" +
                "<TD><Center><B>" + vids.getArtist() + "</TD>"
</TD></TR>\n" );
%></TABLE>At the moment i use the above in a jsp to put data into a table, would it be a massive task to undertake to put into a custom tag?

Question about keyword searches

Hi,
When I am searching a large collection of pictures by keyword, how should I set Aperture such that if I select 1 keyword, the ONLY OTHER keywords that Aperture shows me and allows me to select are those that already contain the first keyword I had selected?
So for example, if I select the keyword "SAN FRANCISO" then all the remaining keywords that I am able to select should not be my entire collection of keywords, but rather only those that exist within photos that currently also have a tag of SAN FRANCISO on them. By this logic, then, I am unlikely to see the tag "EGYPT" but more likely to see the tag "Coffeeshop".
Any ideas?

if I understand u correctly, yes.
-- Include if "All" of the following "Match" -- (instead of "Any")
so a search for "San Francisco" will only show San Francisco, if not, you'll get San Diego, San Pedro,...if "All" is not selected, as oppose to "Any"

Quick question about div tags

How do you make a div tag only as wide as the content that is
inside of it, rather than the width of the cell that surrounds
it?

<div style="width:200px; float:left">
Would give you a div 200px wide and floated to the left. You
can similarly
float another div to the right of this div etc. When you are
done with a row
of divs, you would want to clear the float so that the next
set of divs
starts with the extreme left as the reference point. To clear
a float you
would use style="clear:both;" or style="clear:left;" etc.
Please do some
reading on all this before you start experimenting else
you'll run into a
multitude of issues.
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

Question about adding tags to images and music

Hi I have an artist page online and I have read that adding meta tags to your page does absolutely nothing to help search engines these days and then someone recommended adding tags to the images on my site using aperture (which I cant afford) so can anyone explain if I can do this in iphoto or photoshop? and also can I add tags to the mp3's available on my site to better perform in search engine searches? can i do this with itunes?
Thanks in advance

The search engines have to be lead to your music/photo page using an appropriate URL and having a text description with as many relevant "key" words as possible.
Also, you need as many links to this page as possible from other sites as well as your own pages.
When I enter one of my own song titles and name into Google, all the top listed links are sites that sell digital downloads and CDs. Have a look at the way these sites list your music to see the most effective way of doing it on your own website.
Obviously, you first have to add your URL to Google, Yahoo etc and get them to verify your sitemap.

Question about custom tags

Hi All,
Please tell me what is differnce between javabean and custom tags.
thank you.

Javabean is a data object (or a data holder) whose properties can be accessed using getters, setters - ex getName() and setName()
JSP custom tags are merely Java classes that implement special interfaces (Tag interface). Once they are developed and deployed, their actions can be called from your HTML using XML syntax. Refer the article http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/WebAppDev3/

Question about keyword hierarchies

Hi, I'm relatively new to Lightroom. I'm seeing an "interesting" behavior with respect to hierarchical keywords and I'd like to understand if it is correct.
To start with, I've got an example keyword hierarchy for aircraft:
So far so good. Now, I have brought some images into Lightroom that have all of those keywords (aircraft, boeing, b-17 flying fortress, texas raiders) in the image. These keywords were inserted by another application, prior to me switching to Lightroom and importing into Lightroom. After importing into Lightroom, I arranged these in a hierarchy. So, when I select one of those images, the keyword panel looks like this, indicating that all four of those keywords are explicitly assigned to the selected image:
Now, I find that if I export a version of this image with "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy", then the actual Keyword metadata field in the file contains this:
     air show, aircraft, airshow, b-17 flying fortress, boeing, monochrome, texas raiders, aircraft | boeing, aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress, aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress | texas raiders
I understand that this is the actual keywords, followed by the hierarchical keyword paths. However, I notice that parts of the hierarchical path are repeated. In other words, the above includes all of the following:
     aircraft | boeing
     aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress
     aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress | texas raiders
Is this because the "boeing" and "b-17 flying fortress" keywords have been explicitly assigned to the image, in addition to these keywords being inherited from the lower level keywords which are also explcitly assigned?
What I would like to see in the exported file is the list of keywords plus just the one long hierarchical path from bottom-to-top, without the "pieces", like this:
     aircraft | boeing | b-17 flying fortress | texas raiders
I notice I can get that if only if I unassign all keywords except for the lowest-level keyword, like this:
Is this expected behavior? I assume that it is.
The problem I am having is this. In my pre-Lightroom days, I had all these keywords assigned directly to the images without any hierarchy whatsoever. I imported them into Lightroom, and then arranged the keyword hierarchy inside Lightroom's Keyword List panel. Now, as a result of all keywords in the hierarchy being explicitly assigned, I'm seeing parts of the hierarchy repeated when I export (as shown above), and it is "messy".
Is there any way to clean this up without it being a totally manual process?
Does it harm anything to leave it as-is (i.e. with repeated parts of hierarchy)?
Thank you
Chris

Thank you John, KeywordConsolidator has a "Remove Parents" function which (if I understand the description correctly) will do what I'm looking for.

Question about cutom tag jars on Tomcat

I have written a custom tag for data connection in Java and wrote a TLD to use it. My problem is a I have three applications that all use it, so I put the jar file in my CATALINA_HOME/common/lib and the tld finds the jar but the jar has a properties file it uses to get the DB name and user names. The jar can not find the properties file, I tried putting it in the common/lib/, I put it in the common/ and I also tried in the APP_DIR/WEB-INF/ and it still can not find them. Is there a place I can put the properties file that tomcat will have it available for the jar file.
Thanks in advance

Put the properties file inside the jar file. Then you can load it from your code using the classloader. Lets say you put the properties file in a subdirectory "props" inside the jar, you can then load it using this code:
InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("props/db.properties");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(is);
is.close();Assuming you name your file "db.properties" of course.

Question about jsp tags

Hello to all the programmers ,
I have the code below , i get from servlet the attribute that called carList and then i use the forEach iterator for
view the list of employees.
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<html>
<head><title>The list of the Employees</title></head>
<body>
<table>
     <tr>
       <th bgcolor="cccccc">EMP_ID</th>
       <th bgcolor="cccccc">FIRST_NAME</th>
       <th bgcolor="cccccc">LAST_NAME</th>
     </tr>
<c:forEach items='${empList}' var='emp' >
    <tr>
    <td>${emp.id }</td>
    <td>${emp.first_name}</td>
    <td>${emp.last_name}</td>
    </tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
</body>
</html>The result that i get us :
EMP_ID FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME
${emp.id} ${emp.first_name} ${emp.last_name}
with the suitable headers of course.
Why i get this result and not get as i expected the empBean.
Regards
Ofer

I checked the web.xml and version is 2.4.
I don't thhink that problem related to the web.xml , because i have another example that worked like this one :
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%
    // DON'T FREAK OUT!!! This scriptlet code will go away once
    // we have a model and controller in place...
    String[ ][ ] empList = {
            {"22254", "Joe", "Pashi"},
            {"15487", "Yos", "Alke"},
            {"8777", "Jhon", "Gatez"}
    pageContext.setAttribute("empList", empList);
%>
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
    <tr>
      <th bgcolor="cccccc" align="left">Id</th>
      <th bgcolor="cccccc" align="left">First_Name</th>
      <th bgcolor="cccccc" align="left">Last_Name</th>
    </tr>
    <c:forEach items='${empList}' var='emp'>
      <tr>
      <td align="left">${emp[0]}</td>
      <td align="left">${emp[1]}</td>
      <td align="left">${emp[2]}</td>
      </tr>
    </c:forEach>
</table>
</body>
</html>when i run this jsp page in tomcat i get the this result as expected :
Id First_Name Last_Name
22254 Joe Pashi
15487 Yos Alke
8777 Jhon Gatez
I think that maybe i missed something in the previous example , something that related to the iterator forEach.
I try to do the same thing but get the array of the employee from the servlet that's all , i see that the arrayList of the employees is created and i assign as an attribute.
