  • Beginner question - how to efficiently check if a photo is part of the selection

    Dear all,
    Sorry for this beginner question, however I don't know how to solve it and I'm sure that there is a quick and easy answer to this:
    My target is to get all the "heads of stack" (photos with Position 1 in stacks) of the selection ("photos" below).
    for i, photo in ipairs( photos ) do
      local photoName = photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
       if photo:getRawMetadata( 'isInStackInFolder' ) then
       --Photo is in a stack
            local photoHeadOfStack = photo:getRawMetadata('topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto')
            local stackPos = photo:getRawMetadata( 'stackPositionInFolder' ) -- get the position in the stack
            local photoHeadName = photoHeadOfStack:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
            app:logVerbose("Photo nb ^1, name ^2 is in a stack with the position ^3", i, photoName, stackPos)
            if stackPos == 1 then
            -- photo is master of the stack
                 stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photo
                 app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is top of the stack ^2", photoName, #stackTop)
                 -- check if couple if correct
            elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then
                 app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack already selected", photoName)
            else
                 stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photoHeadOfStack
                 app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack ^2 - ^3 ", photoName, #stackTop, photoHeadName)
            end
      end
    end
    In the if structure in the middle checking the Position in the stack, if the Position is not 1, I would like to check if the photo heading the stack ('photoHeadOfStack') is part of 'photos'. I tried 'elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then' and 'elseif photos[photoHeadOfStack] then' but it doesn't work ->this elseif is never true even if 'photoHeadOfStack' is part of 'photos'.
    Is there anyway to have this check done without checking "manually" photos ?(via for example a for Loop)
    I'm sure that Lua proposes this, but I don't know how...
    I thank you for your Support!

        --[[ This code creates "stackTops", an array of LrPhotos that are the
        tops of all the stacks containing photos in the array
        "photos". ]]
    stackTopSet = {}
    for _, photo in ipairs (photos) do
        local stackTop = photo:getRawMetadata ("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")
        if stackTop ~= nil then stackTopSet [stackTop] = true end
        end
    stackTops = {}
    for photo, _ in pairs (stackTopSet) do table.insert (stackTops, photo) end

  • How to create a duplicate of the Manager ID field in the Create user menu

    Hi,
    I´m trying to create a duplicate of the Manager ID field in the Create user menu (with a different label). I need to add it a field with the same funtionality of the Manager ID field (search users with filters) but I don´t know how.
    I try to made a new adapter using the Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf but it don´t let me to map the input parameters.
    Also I try to assing an existent Lookup to a new UDF, but I couldn´t find the correct one.
    Did anybody do that??
    Thanks!

    Hi Kevin,
    First I created a a user defined field called USR_UDF_CONDUCTOR (Lookupfield type).
    Then I added the following lines to de FormMetaData.xml file:
    </Attribute name="-750" label="global.label.conductor" displayComponentType="LookupField" variantType="long" dataLength="50" map="USR_UDF_CONDUCTOR">
    <ValidValues lookupMethod="findUsersFiltered" operationClass="Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf" displayColumns="Users.User ID,Users.Last Name,Users.First Name" selectionColumn="Users.User ID"/>
    </Attribute>
    <AttributeReference editable="true" optional="true">-750</AttributeReference>
    When I try yo Create a new user, the OIM System Administrator returns a System Error.

  • How to create a duplicate database

    version 10.2.1.0
    i just got a laptop and i needed to create a duplicate db from the server. i was thinking installing oracle binaries and restoring from the backup of the server will do the trick.
    Also i intended making the duplicate a standby. pls is there any guide to this.

    Hi,
    I suggest to follow the ORACLE Documentation first.
    Second, understand the thingsand there purpose, since as you stated that its a production DB (Don't mess it or screw up the DB by doing some thing). I suggest consult the DBA and as k him to do that.
    If you want to do it by your self check with him and consult before doing it, since productiion DB access would not be given to every one AFAIK.
    Any how as per your requirement, check the document.

  • How to create a duplicate address book contact?

    This seems so simple yet I cannot determine how to create a new duplicate address book contact. I have a few contacts from the same company and want to change the variable data instead of re entering the data
    I can create a new contact, copy the data of the record I want to duplicate yet when I paste the info into the new record - address book puts everything into one field.
    Why not a duplicate contact command?
    GRRRR

    Rich,
    According to Address Book Help:
    To duplicate an address card:
    Select an address card.
    Choose Edit > Copy, and then choose Edit > Paste.
    Works for me

  • Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

    Hello guys
    I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
    The steps I am following is:
    1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
    2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
    3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
    That's all I can understand.
    My question is:
    1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
    2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
    3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
    Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
    Thanks

    If you have a BI Publisher desktop installed, have a look a the demos,.. should answer most of your basic questions.

  • Beginner question: Can I create a hybrid home network between an ethernet-connected iMac and an airport connected Macbook Pro using a hybrid router?

    I recently acquired an friend's used iMac, I don't know anything about networks and all I can find is how to create a Wi-Fi home network but nothing about hybrid Ethernet/Wi-Fi networks.
    I have the iMac connected via Ethernet to the wireless router.
    I connect via Airport with my MacBook Pro
    I would appreciate if anyone has any pointers as to how I can start setting up a network between my ethernet-connected iMac and WiFi connected Macbook.
    Thanks!

    ethernet and airport/WiFi are just transmission media for the same network. If you can get internet on both computers, they are networked. Using the same router = same network.

  • Beginner Question: How to put 5 V on an output?

    Hi everybody,
    I am an absolute beginner here, a Biology student that has to do electronics in Labview now...
    I want to do as much of this myself as possible, but need truly beginners hints, hoping to be clever enough to put it together myself with your information.
    I need to control some outputs, and monitor some inputs. I am focusing on the outputs at the moment.
    Questions:
    How do I make a block in my block diagram that can put a variable voltage on an output? I need two controls, one that puts a voltage on an output of 0 to 10 V continuously, the other puts a voltage on an output of 0 to 5 V in increments of 0.1 V
    Any hints will be highly appreciated. I have Labview 6 to work with. Pointers like 'look at p
    age XX of the manual' will do, but descriptions here, or through my mail... anything will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Well, for me and my past gigs this has been a very common situation. When
    I worked for telecom we would have to develop apps for instruments that we
    wouldn't receive for six months. Luckily we had the basic concept of how
    they were supposed to run and this was adequate for development. It
    sounds like you're in a similar situation.

    Lemme see if I understand you from this post and your first one. You
    would like to buid a user interface that includes the following:
    1) A boolean control that gives these two options:
    a) output a continuous voltage in the range of 0-10 volts b) output a
    ramping voltage starting at 0 (or 0.1) volts and ending at
    5 volts using 0.1 volt increments with a dwell time of x mseconds
    2) A boolean to stop the application
    (perhaps another one to pause it)
    3) Several numeric controls:
    a) numeric control for the output voltage b) numeric control for the
    dwell time (optional) c) numeric control for the voltage increments
    (optional) for if the
    user wants to use values other than 0.1 volts
    4) An indicator that shows what the measured output voltage is. This is
    good for verifying your output signal. A chart would be nice.
    This is a top down approach which is helpful for laying out the
    application's user interface. The next thing you want to do is build some
    subVIs to simulate your voltage signals. Once you get some hardware you
    can simply replace these simulation subVIs with the real ones that
    actually communicate the hardware.
    I'm not sure if your measuring the output voltage too. I kinda just
    assumed this but that would require another subVI. I won't tell you how
    to build the subVIs (I can't take all the fun out this) but I hope I've
    pointed you in the right direction.
    Merry x-mas!
    -Kevin
    PS: learn how to play with control references. they're very convenient
    when you need to update the front panel indicators with data from a subVI
    sitting in its own continuous loop. it avoids global variable abuse.

    Hi,
    I am not sure that which option you are talking about? Are you using the EMCA,http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/emca.htm#SUTIL800] to create the new repository for the EM? If not the command line than the other only way is to use DBCA(Database Configuration Assistant).I believe you are talking about that. Yes ,if the message is coming creating the repository than after wards you can login to the EM. You would get the port no of the EM's HTTP port from the $OH/install/portlist.ini file.

  • Newbie question: How to create a namespace and record filedate-retrieve

    Spanking new to Namespaces
    Looking for a way to place a .jpg as a smart object, then using Namespace, record the filedate of the .jpg
    Then, have the layer sense if the original .jpg is newer and change the color of the layer.
    Running into complications trying to do this with .jsx scripting alone.
    Reason: This way, if the .jpg has been updated on the file server, the artist will be able to easily see that.
    Don't want to add a panel and more work for the artist. Rather, have it all happen behind the scenes.

    Here is how I create a new namespace in the layer metadata for my panel
    // new namespace. Even though it looks like a web url it's not. It just needs to be unique.
    const ns= 'http://www.smartobjectlinks.com/1.0/';
    function setSOLinkMetadata( property, value ){
         if( activeDocument.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer || !loadXMPLibrary()){
              alert( ErrStrs.CONVERT );
         } else {
              var xmp;
              if (value == "")
                   value = " ";     
              try{
                   xmp = new XMPMeta( activeDocument.activeLayer.xmpMetadata.rawData );
              } catch(e) {// no metadata so create new and add namespace
                   xmp = new XMPMeta();
                   var linkNS = new Namespace ( 'link', ns );
                   XMPMeta.registerNamespace ( linkNS, 'SOlink' );
              try{
                   xmp.setProperty(ns, property, value );
              } catch(e) {
                   alert( ErrStrs.FAILEDMETADATA + e);
              activeDocument.activeLayer.xmpMetadata.rawData = xmp.serialize();
         unloadXMPLibrary();
    If the file being linked has metadata you can use the ModifyDate in the XMP.
    function getfileDate( file ){
         var date = new String();
         try{
              loadXMPLibrary();
              var xmpf = new XMPFile( file.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN,
                                       XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ );
              var xmp = xmpf.getXMP();
              xmpf.closeFile();
              date = new XMPDateTime( xmp.getProperty
                                  (XMPConst.NS_XMP, "ModifyDate").toString() );
         }catch(e){// fallback to OS file date
              date = new XMPDateTime ( file.created );
         date = date.toString();
         unloadXMPLibrary();
         return date;
    The hard part will be getting the layer to 'sense' when the original has been changed. If you don't want the user to trigger the test you will have to use an event like open.

  • Easy Question How to create Basic Groups and add respective Users

    Please help. I need to know how to create a basic group and later add users to the group. The group name would be callled Hardware and I will add johnsmith and janedoe to the group. Should I concern myself with the group id for whatever reason? I think the command is somthing like groupadd. Do I do somthing like:
    # groupadd Hardware
    # useradd -G Hardware johnsmith
    # useradd -G Hardware janedoe
    I'm using Solaris 10 if that helps.
    A million thanks I very New2Solaris,
    Johnny Mac

    Ok here is what I found on the net:
    change a user's group information change a user's primary group membership:
    usermod -g Hardware johnsmith
    usermod -g Hardware janedoe
    I forgot to mention that these are existing accounts (sorry)
    In order to change user's supplemental group membership:
    usermod -G Hardware johnsmith
    usermod -G Hardware janedoe
    is the supplemental group simply adding them to another group and not changing there primary group, which by default I think is staff. I would like to keep them in staff and add them to another group, in this case Hardware.
    Anyones thougths?

  • Beginner Question - How to hide the parameters of a created process on a remote machine.

    OK so I am useng the following Powershell command invoke-WmiMethod -class Win32_process -name Create -Argumentlist ($some_command_with_parameters) -Authentication 6 -ComputerName $Your_Computer -Credential $cred
    The question comes when I pass the command with parameters in the command is encrypted until it gets to the destination but then it appears to be very easy to view the command parameters by using a PROCESS Get command while that command is being run. 
    Is there a way to hide the parameters on the remote system to prevent someone from viewing those at the time I run my script.  The problem is that I would like to pass a username and password as a parameter but would like to make sure it is fairly secure.

    Yeah I was trying to execute a cmd.exe /c ...  This works great except the for mentioned issue.  Essentially what I was trying is to create a backward mapped drive.  In order to transfer a log that is created from the command I am running,
    back to my machine.  I know the process I am doing could potentially be done different but in the enviroment I am in it is very restricted so I am basically working with what I have here.  Is there any way to at least make sure that no one other
    than the person who created the process can see its arguments?  Interactive prompts or using files won't work as I am doing this remotely and essentially issuing one long command that will do everything I want. A file might work but I don't have a secure
    way to transfer a file as this has to be a process I can do on multiple servers and many of them do not have anything setup for doing that.  The other issue is the credentials would still be unsecure on the server as long as the file was there. 
    I think my best bet would be if possible to restrict others from viewing a process and arguments that I create.  Any ideas?

  • A simple question: how to create a folder in the active root

    I have a simple little issue:
    When I go in the "Finder" down the folder chain to what ever place with the intention to create a new sub folder, using "file" + "new folder" the system always create the new folder in the main root versus creating it where I'm standing (highlighted root) in the folder chain.
    Any idea how to make the new folder directly under the highlighted root?
    Thx

    If you are in column view a new folder will be created in the selected folder, but if you are using the other views you need to actually open the folder. The path shown at the top of a Finder window will show the target of the window (which is where a new folder will be created).
