Anybody using a good GIF EDITOR for custom Icons ?

Hi list,
I'm looking for a GIF EDITOR, that I could use to build icons and button graphics...
I've read the Java Look & Feel Design Guidelines, which I found of great interest but when I try to draw my own icons, I'm facing problems about:
- the number of colors to use
- how is built the "pattern to prevent coarse dithering" ?
- how is it applied to the original picture ?
I'm intending to put my Application on the Web, and would like to be the more compliant as possible with different graphical and color configurations.
Thanks in advance for any advise or comment.

Hi,
thaks for replying but I already use Paint and PSP... now, I would like to use a single software for building GIF icons, without having to switch between two editors...

Is anybody using Virtual PC Home Edition for Mac 7

Hi,
Is anybody using Virtual PC Home Edition for Mac 7 & is it any good?
Have you had any problems?
Jeff

Virtual PC is outdated and probably doesn't even run under Snow Leopard (since you're posting in the Snow Leopard forum).
For running Windows software next to Mac software, your current choices are Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox, and others. All will run much faster than Virtual PC anyway.

Error while using Special GL indicator H for Customer Down Payment

Dear Friends,
I have configured the Special GL Indicator H (Security Deposit) for Customer Down Payment received. I also make the necessary settings in OBXY for assignment of Special GL against the reconciliation account.
When I am doing the Customer Down Payment entry through F-29 using special GL indicator H system giing me the following error message
Special G/L indicator H is not defined for down payments
Message no. F5053
Diagnosis
The specified special G/L indicator is not classified as "down payment" or not listed in the list of the target special G/L indicators for indicator "F".
System Response
The entry is not accepted.
Procedure
Enter an allowed special G/L indicator or initiate a change of the default settings
I also check the configuration again but still systems is giving me the same above error.
Kinldy give me the solution or way of doing this ASAP because I am working in an implementation Prj.

Dear Surya,
I have made the necessary changes in Special GL Indicator F in their properties I assign target spl GL indicator H but while in spl GL indicator H when I assign target spl GL indicator F system gives me following error
Delete target special G/L indicator
Message no. F4137
Diagnosis
In the SAP system, you can only use "Target special G/L indicators" with "Down payment/down payment request" when "Noted item" is also selected at the same time. These requirements are not fulfilled in the special G/L indicator "H".
Procedure
Delete the specified target special G/L indicator.
Effects on Customizing
You can define when this system message is to be issued in accordance with your requirements.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.
The application area and message number can be taken from the technical documentation.
Thanks,

Problem using Aperture as external editor for Photoshop CS5...

I am having trouble using Aperture as my external editor for Photoshop - if, for example, I select twenty photos and choose "edit in photoshop CS5," for some reason or another, only ten or twelve photos will show up. Some photos are always missing, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Has anyone else noticed this? It is really frustrating and slowing my workflow down immensely. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Casey.
First lets make sure we have the flow going the correct way. You are using Aperture, and use PSCS5 as your external editor (external to Aperture). Right?
Second, what size are your Masters? When you use PS directly (not calling it from Aperture) do you regularly open twenty files at a time?
My Masters are about 25 MPix each. PS sizes them in the 140 MB range. Opening twenty of them at once -- for me that's about 3 GB of data -- will probably bog things down. Does the problem occur if you open just, say, five at a time? What's your hardware? How do you have PS set-up?
And -- my top suggestion for improving your work rate: do in Aperture as much of the work as you can, and send out to PS as little as possible. You don't say what kind of work you are doing, but Aperture, for many, suffices for almost all of there photograph processing needs.

How to use Cache Management Library (CML) for custom applications?

Hello,
We are planning the migration of multiple applications (J2EE, Portal, Web-Dynpro for Java) from 7.01 to 7.3 and we would like to replace some custom cache implementations with a central cache management provided by the SAP Web-AS Java.
Several SAP standard services (e.g. UME, Configuration Manager, Scheduler) seems to use the "Cache Management Library" (CML):
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/4a/f833eb306628d2e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
Such caches can be monitored using SAP Management Console (AS Java Caches).
Portal Runtime (cache_type=CML) and Web Page Composer can also be configured to use CML:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/49/d822a779cf0e80e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2ru/helpdata/en/13/76db395a3140fcb17b8d24f5966766/frameset.htm]
So our questions:
How to use CML for custom applications?
Is there any example or documentation available?
Kind Regards,
Dirk

Thanks Vidyut! You've answered my question.
I placed the jar file in the $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib directory. But where should I place the taglib TLD file? And how should I reference it in web.xml?
Currently, my web.xml is as follows and it doesn't work.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Using ComboBox as an editor for treenodes

Anybody using their intel i-mac for professional use?

Is anybody using Intel i-Mac for professional use? (Music or video production?). I went to the Apple store here and checked the Powermac G5 2.0, Intel i-Mac and a Macbook pro. They all seem equally fast. (I tried loading songs in Garageband, opening multiple apps, switching between them, loading samples etc). What's your experience?

Have been using PhotoShop and InDesign and have found "saving" to be a problems sometimes when you have made a number of changes. The spinning ball keeps spinning. Suggest that anyone using it (Rosetta) save more frequently as I've had to Force Quit on some documents more frequently with loss of work.

Using Aperture as external editor for iPhoto

Hi all,
I could be classed as a "keen amatuer" I suppose. I import all my photos into iPhoto, and use it to publish photos to the web for family / friends.
I then import the "best" photos into Aperture so I can work my "magic".
I've recently returned from a very sunny Italy and I want to use Aperture's shadows / highlight editing to enhance a few pictures, then band these up onto the web using I photo.
I've set Aperture as my default editor in iPhoto, and when I double-click Aperture does open, but the photo I want to edit does not.
Is it possible to use Aperture in this way? If not, what are the best options for moving photos in and out of both of these apps? Also, I've not used Aperture's web publishing facilities. Are these as good (read "easy") as iPhoto?
I don't really want to make the move over to Aperture and completely remove iPhoto because the family know and like iPhoto to browse things.
Cheers for the help.
Stuart

Once your Aperture photos are in iPhoto, they are shared just like any others in iPhoto.
If you're willing to make the switch, then once you switch over to Aperture (moving over all or some of your photos), delete and re-add them to iPhoto. Then you should see any Aperture made photos. Be sure they're added and copied over so when you delete from iPhoto, you're not deleting your only copy.

Use of OCO and OCDL for Customer Account and Party Merge

Requirement: Duplicate parties, previously identified by legacy, are being sent as messages which are polled in and processed upon by custom code.
Once these duplicate parties are identified by Legacy, the requirement is to merge them both and then go on merging the accounts within the master party (only).
We have considered using DQM capabilities for this. Off-Late a suggestion of using ORACLE customers Online and ORACLE Customers Data Librarian if applicable has come up. After reading the respective documentation we’ve found that both of the modules needs to be configured to use the DQM capability and are licensed products(Xerox owns the licenses for both).
Can anyone please throw light on the overall functionality and business scenarios for the use of OCDL.

Hi Thiruchudar,
There are some setup you need to do. If you're not technically well grounded, i would suggest you get an ABAPer to do this for you. Basically, the following are what you need to do:
1. Create the Partner Profile for your Customer using transaction code WE20. Click on the create icon and enter Partner type KU (Customer) and enter the Customer Number.
2. Next, add an Outbound Message Type FINSTA by clicking on the green + icon under the outbound parameters. Complete all the other mandatory fields as appropriate. Save your Entries.
3. Test your outbound partner profile for your customer by running the customer statement again using transaction code F.27.
Your output control would have been created with the medium EDI.
4. Use transaction code WE05 to display the iDocs that would have been created.
Note: You still have to set up the communication between your system and that of your Customer to allow for EDI transmission.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Thanks and Regards,
Jacob

Can anyone offer help using CS4 as external editor for iPhoto '08?

I am very new to CS4 Extended, having upgraded from Elements 6 recently. I use iPhoto '08 to do all my photo organization and really enjoy it, have a LOT of work invested in it and don't really want to switch to anything else if I can help it. One aspect I like about it is that it tucks away my original in case I ever need to revert. With Elements, I could set my iPhoto preferences to allow all my editing to be done externally using Elements 6, but it would only allow 4 photos to be sent over to Elements at a time. Then I would have to go back to iPhoto and "get" more. I thought that when I upgraded to CS4, I would at least be allowed four at a time to be sent from iPhoto to Photoshop for editing. Whenever I do this, it sends 1 or 2, possibly 3, but never four. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I'm annoyed at having to constantly go back for one or two photos at a time to edit and wondered if anyone knew of a workaround for this problem. The reason I have done it this way all along is that the two programs would work together and update my iPhoto pics and thumbnails automatically. Since then, I have just opened the iPhoto files from within CS4, but the edit doesn't update the thumbnails, only the enlarged versions within iPhoto. Neither Apple nor Adobe has been able to offer any solutions. I am not looking to create multiple copies of my files. I download straight from my camera to iPhoto. I could always just download them to a folder, edit them in CS4 and then import them into iPhoto, but that would necessitate making a copy of the photos to keep the originals safe and I'm not sure I want to have to organize all my originals elsewhere on top of my iPhoto library. I am very open to suggestions!
Thanks!

You should ask at the Apple forums. very few if any actually use iPhoto here. Most use Aperture, Lightroom, and/or Bridge.

Recommend a good text editor for JAVA/C/C++

Hi,
Could anyone recommend some good (preferably freeware) text editors that can parse Java and C/C++?
Thanks!

My favourite Java publisher is O'Reilly. Particularly the nutshell series (most by or co-authored by David Flanagan). I couldn't live without the stack that sit, all opened to critical pages, on my desk.

Anybody using MOTU PCI 424e card for 2408 with new MacPro Cylinder?

I upgraded my older Mac PRO tower which accepted multiple PCI 424e cards for the new Mac Pro cylinder. I purchased from Magma their Express card cage with Thunderbold output in anticipation. Computer arrived and I removed the card and inserted into the card cage, directed audio to the card but no go. iTunes, for example freezes when the card is selected. My MOTU Digital Performer also does not allow Analog in or out with the card.
I have contacted MOTU, they do not have a solution. Magma, the card cage manufacturer has not come back with a solution. Apple suggested visiting these forums for possible ideas.
My studio is dead in the water until I solve this OR I need to go back to the slower old MacPro.
Thanks in advance.

Did you install the FCS suite onto the new computer by using the original disks?
You should. Don't forget to run all updates, repair permissions and restart.
Or did you migrate the applications from the older Mac? You should not do this.

How to use Fireworks JQuery Mobile Theme with Custom Icons in Dreamweaver CS6?

I understand how to create the custom theme in FW, I created one extra icon using the icon placeholder option. I then export the theme. FW spits out 5 css files and the png sprites. What do I do with the css files for the different png dimensions?? I don't understand how to get what I created in FW to work properly in DW. I can get the theme working but DW creates the jquery folder with the default icons, I need to get my custom png sprite in there. When I do this, it seems that it shifts everything since the dimensions are wrong. The theme css that FW spits out has a @import url for the css files styling the diff sprites but it still doesn't work. I'm at a loss as to how to get it all to work together.

Sorry, no knowledge of FW themes, but it would seem easier to adjust the positioning code
than to try redo your sprite image.

How to get good image quality for an icon

In the constructor of the main class which extends JFrame I set an icon by saying:
this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage());
This does not only set an icon on the title bar and the minimized window, it also creates an icon on my saved files (which are created with JFileChooser and ActionListener). However, the image quality of the icon on my saved files is bad, even though the image quality of the other icons is ok.
The bad quality image has broken lines where it is supposed to have smooth lines. The size of the image I am providing is close to the size of the icon on my saved files, but the image I am providing looks a lot better (in Photoshop) than the icon.
How did the icon get created for my saved files? Is it possible to improve the image quality?
Thanks for looking at this!

Well, it wasn't Java that created the icon on the saved files. It was the operating system, which used the icon that I had on my executable, once I said "open with" this executable.
Well, now I am using a better icon maker program from Axialis, which creates icons at different sizes, and the icon on my saved files look perfect.
Sorry for taking your time thinking about this.
