Are libraries with the same name a problem?

In previous versions of FCPX, having the same event on two drives was a real problem. I had backup drives that mirrored my media drive, and if I started FCPX before closing the backup drives, FCPX would warn me about the same event being present on more than one drive and potential corruption (the same may have been true of projects, too).
In 10.1, you can easily copy libraries to different drives in Finder. But then both libraries have the same name. Is that a problem like it was in earlier versions of FCPX (with events)? Is there a potential corruption issue?
I've started renaming the libraries from with FCPX after I copy them (so, for example, I have "Day the Beach" and "Day at the Beach Backup." I don't know if that's advisable or necessary, or even if I need to do the renaming from with FCPX rather than Finder.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

A Library is completely self contained and should not pose any problem.
However placing a Backup ID makes good house keeping sense to me.

Are drives with the same name differentiated?

I'm running OSX 10.6.8 and three external drives on which data is stored (a main drive, A-Data, and two backups). A friend may decide to help me with a project and to do so will have to have the same setup. Naming the drives on the second system is of some concern to me, so I did some research.
The fellow at http://www.cnet.com/au/news/drives-in-os-x-appearing-with-1-appended-to-their-na mes/ states:
If by chance you mount two drives of the same name, because the system can't create two mount points with the same name it appends sequential numbers to new mount points as they are created, and therefore you will see the numbered drive names in the Finder.
Unless I misunderstand what he is talking about, I found that I can have two drives with the same name. I can have two drives named A-Data on my desktop. And therein lies my problem (maybe). The project involves Premiere and several of it's sister programs, all of which require external files (video, audio, stills) to be linked, not stored within the working file.
QUES 1
Are disks with the same name distinguishable by OSX or software?
QUES 2
Assume that
I am working on a project which is saved on A-Data (and all the project links are to files on that particular A-Data)
I then connect another disk with the same name (and with the same folder structure), and backup my files to it.
I then eject the first A-Data and open the project on the second A-Data.
Will the software say that it can't find the linked files (because they are on the ejected disk), or will the project open as normal?

Avoid having the same names if at all possible, especially if you use apps that 'link' to the media via the file path.
The file path is set by the order in which the disks mount, which can change across reboots.
To see what is going on by using Disk Utility…
Select the first volume, look at the mount point (a blue link at the bottom of the Window) …
/Volumes/A-Data
Now connect the second volume & select it, look at the mount point…
/Volumes/A-Data 1
Now reboot, power off the first disk, leave the second one on & power disk one back on when the OS has competed booting. They will show the same paths, but each disk is now the 'other' disk - this makes a big mess for Apps like Premiere.
The only way to make this work is to clone every file to be identical on both disks, and never use Premiere (or any app that links to media) when both disks are connected. Otherwise you risk linking to media files on 'A-Data' and 'A-Data 1'.
Premiere must have tools for sharing projects - look at them before using disk names in this way.
You could however clone 'disk 1' to 'disk 2' & then rename it on the second Mac (to make them identical to fix the paths for Premiere), just avoid bringing them to one Mac with the same disk names. It does make more headaches in future though, because your friend will add new media that you need to migrate back to your disk.

Iphoto shows two photo libraries with the same name, one in small letters the other in all capital letters. they both open the same library and the only one in my computer. How do delete the capital letrs one as the one in the pictures folder is in

In my iPhoto application when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
They both open the same library which is in the Pictures folder. This is the only library I can see and the name is not in capital letters?
How do I get rid of the one in capital letters

What is your iPhoto version?
when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
In the Library Chooser Panel look for the pathes to the two duplicate libraries. You will see the location of the libraries in the path bar at the bottom of the window when you select one of the libraries. Does it show both libraries in the same folder?

Jdcap, two different libraries with the same name?

I am looking for a network packet capturer and I have found two libraries, both called "Jdcap":
1) [http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html]
2) [http://jpcap.sourceforge.net/]
What are the differences between them? Why do the have the same name? Their APIs are totally different. Which one should I use?

What are the differences between them? Read the docs for one. Then read the docs for the other. The stuff that's not the same will be the differences.
Why do the have the same name? Probably because that's an obvious name for a Java library that does packet capture.
Which one should I use?The one that best suits your needs, which you can determine by having well-defined requirements, reading the docs for both, and writing some proof-of-concept code with both.

New Nikon and keeping old - are files with the same names allowed?

I have been using the organizer catalog for all my photos for years. When my wife got interested in photography I bought her a Nikon and added her photos into the same catalog - most of the tags overlapped since the pictures are mostly of family and around town. This worked out fine since I used a Canon and the file names were different
Recently I looked for a new camera (its been years and I wanted to move up). Thinking that it made sense to share accessories and lenses I got myself a new Nikon - a different model than my wife has if that matters. (No Nikon -Canon discussion please). Of course now all the pictures that I take are named in the camera and have exactly the same names as my wife's pictures already in the Organizer catalog.
I haven't tried to import my pictures yet, but I seem to remember that the Organizer catalog won't import a "duplicate" picture even if its in a different folder on the hard drive. So the question is, how does Organizer know whether a picture is a duplicate or not? If it looks for filenames then it won't import my pictures (or worse, it will import my pictures and will "overwrite" my wife's - not on the hard drive in a different folder, but in the catalog - or just mess up all the tags etc.).
The only thing I can think of is to download my pictures directly to the hard drive and batch rename them in Irfanview (like add my camera model to the front of the filename) and then import these renamed pictures to the catalog. This adds a few steps to the workflow over just using the Adobe Importer and allows more opportunity for me to mess things up if i'm not concentrating as I do all these steps, so its something I would like to avoid.
What do all you professional photographers with more than one camera do about this. Should I just start a separate catalog - although the beauty of the PSE catalog is that I can locate all of the pictures I want with just a few clicks of the mouse without looking in more than one place. Extra info - I'm using PSE 5.0.2 on Vista 32.
Thank you for reading this far. All suggestions will be much appreciated.
Blaine

PSE is smart enough to know that a file in a different directory with a different capture date and time is not the same as the photo you already imported. No need to rename beforehand.

Two AM's with the same name but different forms causes Deployment problems

Two Masters forms, DOC & PM are cloned except for the "where clause" in the View's query and the titles in their JSP's.
DOC workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='DOCTOR'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\Doctor\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\Doctor\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute Doctor in JWS the records are getting filtered properly.
PM workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. Again The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='PAY_MODE'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\PMode\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute PM in JWS, the PM's JSP comes (the title is correct) but the records pertaining to DOC appears. I checked the View's xml file in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\ the "where clause" is correct. The xml & classes have the same name but their contents are different.
I want to know whether this problem is because both have the same name for the AM and the BC4JSP's property file.
Please clarify.

Deploying two app modules with the same name will definitely cause problems.
The JSPs use the information in the properties file to connect to the application module and get the data they need from the appropriate View Objects in those app modules. If you have two app modules with the same name, when a JSP tries to connect, it has no way of knowing which one of the app modules to connect to if they both have the same name.
You could:
1. Just use one application module that contains all the View Objects you need to access.
or
2. Rename one of the application modules or the package it is located in so the names are distinct. If you choose this method, you will also need to update the JSPs (specifically the 'registerApplicationFrompPopertyFile' method call), and your JSP project's appmodule property file.

Problem when importing two photo galleries with the same name. Please Help!

Hi Guys,
I'm not a pro in dreamweaver so I would appreciate if your answer wouldn't be too technical...
Anyway I have experienced a problem. Heres the sotory, I have been making a websie in DW and used Adobe Bridge CS5 to create a photo gallery SWF file that I would use for my website. The problem is that I want to use two different photo galleries on two different pages however when I save my second photo gallery in bridge, it saves every file with the exact name as the first photo gallery I created and is working fine... Thus when I try to import the photo gallery files into my website folder structure, I find that it asks me to rename them because the files from the first photo gallery are called the exact same names.. Now obviously when I try to rename them dreamweaver gets confused and goes to the wrong folder and uses the images from my first photo gallery in the second one.
So I guess my question is how can I organize my folder structure to be able to import multiple galleries without dreamweaver getting confused because bridge names all the files the same. Or how could I save the files through bridge so that they have different names and will work fine when I import into DW...
Thanks and sorry for the essay,
Patrick

#1 You cannot have two files / folders or galleries with the same name. Redo your image Galleries with different names.
#2 SWF (flash) is not visible to iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android or other web devices that don't support Flash Player. These users will see nothing. You might wish to explore other photo gallery / slideshow options that rely on jQuery instead of Flash technology. Some links below. A Google search will reveal many others.

HT2500 Error when deleting email: Apple Support Communities

Fixed Asset there are 2 activities with the same name.

Hi,
I have a question about 2 transaction in ORFA transaction.
There are 2 activities with the same name, I don't know If I chose the first or the second activity for customizing Revaluation Areas.

Hi,
This are two different options for revaluation.
Based on your country requirement this could be either.
Do you have a conutry specific documentation available that could answer this or did you check SAP OSS for further information?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

Problem with viewing 2 albums with the same name in Cover flow

Hi if I have 2 albums with the same name ("The Best of" for example) but of 2 different artists there's a big problem with all idevices like iPhone...
So when I go in iPod app and I want to watch all albums in cover flow when I choose one of these 2 albums I'll find all the songs of both albums merged...

The MouseListener you use would have to know about both JPanels and both their repaint-methods when mouseClicked-method is called.
Something like this:
public class Repainter extends MouseAdapter {
private JPanel panel1;
private JPanel panel2;
public Repainter( JPanel panel1, JPanel panel2 ) {
this.panel1 = panel1;
this.panel2 = panel2;
public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent me ) {
panel1.repaint();
panel2.repaint();
Tell me if I misunderstood the question or if you have any further qestions.

A workflow with the same name already exists.

Hi, whenever I am trying to create a workflow in my MOSS teamroom, I am getting the error "A workflow with the same name already exists". I am getting this error message no matter what name I give. I checked all the lists and document libraries to see if there are any workflows but that doesnt seem to be the case. I opened the site in SPD and there also no workflows are listed.
Any insight will be appreciated.xwindow

I know it is a bit outdated but someone might found this helpful:
The other possible problem could be that the SPD lost connection with the Sp site for a sec but on the local machine there is a workflow with that name. ( In this case if you try to rename your workflow it gave you the same error message )
So have a look in SPD click on All files then select Workflows and delete the workflow that is causing the problem.
After this exercise you will be able to rename or re save your Workflow.

Use two VIs with the same name, different functionality on a single Project

Hi, I'm working with vision builder al labview, I need to integrate the vision builder migration Vis into my main program, (Is not an option), but I have multiple Vis autogenerated with the same name, how can i integrate them in the same project without dependency problems
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Unless you really need tight integration between the Vision code and the rest of your LabVIEW application, or would rather not have to pay for a Vision Builder AI runtime license on the targets on which you want to deploy your final application, I would recommend you look into using the Vision Builder AI LabVIEW API instead of migrating the inspection to LabVIEW.
The API allows to control Vision Builder AI by launching a Vision Builder AI engine, running the inspection and retrieving resulting images and results.
The advantage of the API is that it allows for easier modification and debugging of the Vision Inspection that you designed in Vision Builder, if you need to make changes later. (i.e. all you need to do is open the inspection in Vision Builder AI, modify parameters, add steps etc).
You won't have to change your LabVIEW application, unless you want to output additional results.
When you build and deploy your application, you will need to install Vision Builder AI on the target machine and get a runtime license for it.
Migrating the inspection to LabVIEW is a one way deal. If you need to make changes to the inspection, you will have to migrate the inspection again, or modify the code outside of the Vision Builder AI environment.
As you might have noticed, the code generated is quite complex, and it is recommended to go this route only if you need really tight integration/synchronization between the vision code and the rest or your LabVIEW code, or if you would rather pay for a cheaper Vision runtime license rather than a VBAI runtime license for the deployment machine (in case of deploying multiple systems where cost is a big consideration).
Vision Builder AI API examples are located in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Vision Builder AI\API Examples\LabVIEW Examples
Hope this helps clarify the use cases and help you make the right decision for your design.
Best regards,
Christophe

Custom fields with the same name in Project Online

Today I discovered something interesting when creating custom fields in Project Online.
I usually create a certain set of custom fields that are useful to have on both the project and the task level. An example of these is Reportable, which I use to determine which tasks to roll up into reports and also which projects overall to report on.
So I created a project level custom field called Reportable. No problem.
I then created a custom field on the task level called Reportable. And the computer said no!
I then learned that although you could do this in Project Server 2013, you can't in Project Online. You can't have duplicate custom field names, even if they are of different types.
This has led me to use a naming standard, such as Reportable Task and Reportable Project. But I really don't like that as codes are for computers, not us humans. So I hope this changes in the future, but for now you just need to think about how you approach
the fields.
Good luck!

Hi Ryan,
I would follow Ben on this..
Just made a test on a Project 2013 instance on-premise and I cannot create a task ECF and a project ECF with the same name. The same test on a Online instance returns the same result: the ECF names must be unique whatever the entity is.
Waiting for Ben's confirmation.
Hope this helps,

Two Cube dimensions with the same name.

Hi
If I have a cube dimension that has the same name as another cube dimension, will this be an issue when quering the cube through 1) Excel 2) SSRS or Cognos Reports?
For instance: The Database dimension DimOrganization exists in cube A as well as
DimOrganization_Dep. Both dimension has the same attribute names and the same hierarchy names.
Their database names are different. (object_ID and Object_name differs)
In the cube I change the name of DimOrganization_Dep to DimOrganization.
This seem to work when I query the cube in Excel, the mdx looks like this;
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[AntalNotNull] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Organization].[Yes- No].[ Yes- No].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Organization].[Yes- No].[Yes- No].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME
ON ROWS FROM [TEST] CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Anyone knows if this kind of setup will result in problems when quering from SSRS reports or Cognos?
And/or if even though I get it right in the cube (quering from Excel) it might as well give me the wrong result the next time?
Cheers
/Martin

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried and yes I can change then cube dimension namn to that of another cube dimension.
For instance if i have Cube Dimension "DimA" and "DimB" to begin with , then I change the name of the cube dimension "DimB" to "DimA". So now I have two Cube dimensions with the same name.
It works to deploy and process and Excel somehow understands which one is which.
Both is present in the same cube as you can see from the MDX above.
The tricky part is how does the mdx return the correct result when the mdx looks like this (and it dpoes return the correct result).?
Cheers
