Any tricks to 'fussy' editing in NavEd (converting dynamic to static)?

I have been spending a lot of time in Navigation Editor recently and have had a number of problems converting request strings back from dynamic to static.
I have a number of examples where the tool has identified a large section of a request as dynamic, yet I know it should remain static. Nornally it's a simple job to go through the script, highlight the section in question and select 'make static'. However, there are certain sections where a large section containing '=' is involved. Even if you highlight only the part of the string PRECEEDING the '=', when you select 'make static' the WHOLE string is converted.
(edited) e.g.
PostData:
status=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portalApacsAPIRes xmlns="http://www.url-here-but-edited-out/portal-
api" scemaVersion="All">
<header>
<sessionID>kckngenjniiub555h0edjw55
</sessionID>
... further XML but you get the idea ...
I could edit the first line ("status=") but only because the tool HASN'T flagged that particular '=' as dynamic. However attempting to select the remainder of the string up to the start of the sessionID (the intention being to leave the value as dynamic) would end up with converting the whole request to static.
Has anyone else encountered problems like this?
Any suggestions how to approach this?

Thanks for the feedback.
It has been suggested that I try to do similar using OpenScript, but as I'm really waiting for webservices to be supported before 'getting my hands dirty' with OpenScript I may have to wait for the new release.
Is there any ETA for OATS9.0 (or is it just "sometime in June")?

Any tricks to speed up export/share?

I have a two and a half minute video that is nothing but static title screens over audio, changing for each of five 30 second pieces of audio. I am exporting it so I can post it to YouTube (Share to YouTube), and it is going to take over an hour and a half on my Late 2009 MacBook. This is completely unacceptable. On previous, slower machines, I could export radio ad videos like this and upload them to YouTube in a fraction of this time.
What is it encoding? Geez.
Does anyone know any tricks for speeding up this process? I even tried setting it to the lowest resolution on share (it's just audio, so it doesn't really matter how "great" the title text looks)... Same thing.
Very frustrating, since I currently do not have home internet, and I have to bring my laptop down to a WiFi hotspot to do uploading.

For years, I have used Final Cut Express, importing DV, HDV, then most recently, AVCHD in to Apple Intermediate format for editing. I would export a reference .mov, and then convert that in Visual Hub for uploading. When Visual Hub dropped out, I just started using QuickTime. It was annoying, because you had to go in to the .mov and edit the aspect ratio to make 16x9 show up properly (fortunately, there was an Apple support doc on this, else I would have just assumed it was broken).
I love FCPX except for the bugs, and the speed. I am only a few weeks in to using it, and so far have used it for two TV ads. I am still trying to understand Proxy and Optimized. I have no internet access at home, currently, so the help files are not available (I had to print to PDF the online version for reference). I have been importing with Proxy, assuming it gives me something quicker/easier to edit, and on output, it would go back to the source AVCHD files and emit full resolution 1080. At least, I hope it works that way.
In my projects, as I move forward, I will be shooting only in 1080 and trying to output 1080 files for TV and for YouTube. This, alone, would take more time even if everything else is similar.
But geez, the time it takes to output a 30 second TV ad was just mind blowing :( I had a 3 minute video of a band playing a song, and it was taking almost two hours to export and post to YouTube!

Any tricks to use PL/SQL types in object attributes?

I guess this is a bit of a newbie-question, but I haven't been able to find any workarounds elsewhere, so please bear with me... I'm far from new to object orientation, but I'm rather new to Oracle's object features.
I was wondering if there's some trick you can use to keep references to attributes of PL/SQL types even though they are not allowed in object types (as these are "SQL", yes I do think I understand). I was thinking there might be some way you could cast them to some data type that is supported in SQL and then get them back by the reverse process when you need them in the PL/SQL inside the methods?
In the concrete case, I would like to keep a reference to a utl_smtp connection in my object. It doesn't matter that the reference would be meaningless in other sessions etc. (actually I may not even want to store the objects in any persistent table - it's the polymorphism I'm after):
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE o_test AS OBJECT (
att1 NUMBER,
att2 sys.utl_smtp.connection
- which of course give me:
LINE/COL ERROR
0/0     PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
3/12     PLS-00329: schema-level type has illegal reference to
     SYS.UTL_SMTP
The problem becomes rather dull since I can't pass the connection record as a parameter to methods either.
The only workaround I could think of was to keep the connection as a global variable in a PL/SQL package and then get it from there inside the methods. Of course this can be refined using an index by table and some object unique id to support multiple objects with their separate connections. But it still seems rather clumbsy - especially given that what I was looking for was the elegance of polymorphism.
Any tricks I don't know of?
I'm working in Oracle 10gR2.
best regards,
Jakob

The UTL_SMTP Connection record is not too complicated, and can be easily translated into SQL object types. Add a package to aid in conversion between SQL and PLSQL, and voila!

Is there any way I can edit .mxf files using Premiere Elements 12?

Hello,
My camera records as .mxf files and my copy of Adobe Premiere Elements 12 tells me that it does not support this file type. Is there any way I could edit these clips? I've done some google searching I would personally rather not have to download a converter because I really don't trust many programs and I don't have the money to pay for one.

KendallJones
Premiere Elements (any version) does not support files with the file extension .mxf.
You will need to convert them to a format which your version of Premiere Elements supports.

Add On...Going to the latest version 13 is not going to help. Please check out Premiere Elements 13 Help PDF
page 39 (actual page) for Import Supported Formats.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

With PSE 12, is there a magic trick for repeating editing steps that were done on one photo to another?

No magic, sorry...
If you are able to achieve your goal by using adjustment layers, you can save the first picture in psd or tiff format to keep the layers. If you have a new file needing the same adjustments, have both pictures open and copy the adjustments layers to the new file.
But the best solution, by far, is to edit in the ACR module. You can use it not only for raw files, but also with jpegs, psd or tiffs. Edit the first picture, then when editing the following one, choose 'previous version' from the menu icon on the right of the 'basic' tab.

Any trick to managing apps in iTunes 9?

Not sure if this question should be posted here or in the iTunes section ..
I have my apps on pages sorted by the application type. I have utilities on page 2, 3, Games on page 4, 5, and so on. [Aside: I wish Apple implements grouping of apps on tabbed pages. Then I can display only games if I need to, without flipping through pages of app icons].
If I install a new App, it adds the icon to the last page. If I drag and move that new app to page 2, then instead of cascading all icons through the rest of the pages, it puts the "extra" icon from the bottom of page 2 all by itself on a new page. I have to drag that on to top of page 3, and the process repeats itself until the last page has the added icon.
This is tedious. Is there any trick in application pages management so that the icons "flow" down to the next pages if I insert an app on a page?

Interesting idea but, unfortunately it didn't work. I am actually able to synch my apps by checking or unchecking one of the other options such as movies. Weird.
Thanks for the idea though.

My macBook Pro is 2 months old and I can't open any of my text edit documents.

My macBook Pro 13 inch is 2 months old and I can't open any of my text edit documents all of the sudden.

If this is because textEdit will not open, run Disk Utility.
The "heavy lifting" is done by ( Repair disk ). If that is grayed out, you can use ( Verify Disk ), as long as no errors are found.
Then use ( Repair Permissions ). This is used to fix Applications that will not open because their permissions got damaged, otherwise it does almost nothing.
