Best way for multiple files in vim?

I've been trying out vim for a couple of weeks now, and I must say that I like it. I use it mostly for programming at work (a couple of hours per day).
One thing I haven't settled on is how to use a single vim instance to edit multiple files. I've tried tabs and have been reading about vim+screen (how does yank + paste work between vim instances under screen, btw?).
Which method would you recommend?

That's also my case. I also prefer gvim over vim because of better font rendering and major amount of colors. I don't use screen proficiently but suppose you can use "+y for copying and "+gp for pasting.
You could map these combination to some keyboard shortcut.
By the way...sorry if offtopic.
I can see why many of users use screen. I use it only if I have to keep active a job over a ssh session. Locally I prefer tabs or multiple terminal windows instead.
when you're connected to a remote computer, you don't want to reconnect for each terminal tab. so you use screen and get used to the shortcuts and use it at your local pc too.

Best way for multiple users to edit same pics and catalog

Dear All
Please can I pick your brains about how best to arrange things so that my wife and I can edit the same stock of photos (not necessarily simultaneously, which I take it could cause problems).
We will soon have bought (unless advised otherwise!) two Apple MBPs (since we tend after long days at work to edit on the sofa!).
I take the options are roughly: external drives, sticks, cloud, network. In detail …
A. We keep the pics and catalog on an external hard drive which whoever’s editing plugs into their computer. Downside: it’s a bit irritating when editing or showing pics to someone to have to keep an eye to ensure the USB cable doesn’t get knocked out; it’s somehow nicer to be self-contained.
B. Same as A, but using a 512GB or 1TB memory stick instead. Downside: the sticks are still pretty big, so same downside as A, to an extent, and also (is this right?) I’ve been told that memory sticks are relatively unreliable.
C. We keep the pics and catalog in the cloud and wirelessly edit them there. Downside: perhaps impossible, or at any rate too slow?
D. Same as C, but using some sort of on-site server or drive (I’m a bit out of my depth here), perhaps like Apple’s Time Capsule. Downside: perhaps impossible, or at any rate too slow?
Are there other options? For example: is there an option where the pics reside on my MBP’s internal SSD but, in some very easy way I can get them onto an external drive if my wife wants to edit or take them somewhere? (If there is, I should ensure I buy a MBP with a big enough SSD; otherwise, I needn’t worry about that so much.)
Perhaps there’s an option involving smart previews, which I am just beginning to get my mind around?
Any asdvice you have would be MOST welcome.
Thank you.

2. Keep the images (unlike the catalog) on a networked drive and edit either (a) them or (b) smart previews of them (stored, I guess, on the computer of whoever is editing them, either my wife's or mine).
Even though I have mentioned this a few times, you do NOT need smart previews if the images are available. It's an extra step, completely optional, done only for speed purposes, and to be honest, if your catalog is on a thumb drive, that may be the speed limitation, not the speed of loading photos. In addition, smart previews are stored with the catalog ... I do not think you can put them on a different drive.
3. Keep the images (unlike the catalog) on my MBP's internal ssd, and network my computer to my wife's so she can access either (a) them there (when I am around) or (b) smart previews of them.
Using the SSD for images is not going to produce speed benefits, other than trivial benefits that you probably can't even notice.
a. I take it 1 would deliver pretty good performance. I sometimes worry that it might seem mad to get an MBP with a fast internal ssd if I then don't use that ssd for images! But I guess the internal ssd will still deliver good speed simply in terms of housekeeping, I take it, even if the machine has to go to a stick for the images. Right?
I remain skeptical that a catalog on a thumb drive would produce "pretty good performance", but I admit that I have not tried. I fail to see what benefit you think you are getting from the SSD, "good speed simply in terms of housekeeping" is a phrase that I am not understanding. Yes, there are benefits to putting operating system and software on an SSD, but that's not what you are talking about, is it?
b. By contrast, I take it that 2 and 3 really would be quite sluggish on the original images option, i.e. if someone were editing original images located on a network drive (whether that's a third drive or my internal drive, with my wife editing them wirelessly). Yes?
No. Here's a major misundertanding on your part. The speed of the drive where the images are stored has little effect on the performance speed of Lightroom. Ian Lyons did a study, read it for yourself. A network drive would not cause performance issues in Lightroom, unless the network was failing to perform. Wireless? Well that's a different story, who knows, you haven't specified what type of wireless or the speed of the wireless
c. But would 2 and 3 work not only better, but pretty well, if the person editing were editing only smart previews?
Possibly, but I reject the premise that 2 and 3 are sluggish because of the location of the photos, it may be sluggish because your catalog is on a thumb drive.
d. Even if so, IF I can get a thumb drive which is bigger for the images, there doesn't seem much point going for 2 or 3, and some point in not doing so, i.e. editing smart previews has its limitations, and on option 3 my wife wouldn't be able to edit when I was travelling (unless we'd taken steps in advance to make smart previews of all the relevant pics)? Or perhaps this last point is wrong? Does LR make smart previews, locally, of ALL pictures in the catalog?
Number 2 is a very reasonable solution, even without smart previews, it is fine if you are accessing photos on a network drive. The speed limitation is the speed of accessing the catalog on the thumb drive.
e. What's the best way of backing up the images? I currently back up the catalog BOTH to dropox and to (yet more) external drives that I then take off-site, to the latter of which I also backup the images. I guess that's the best way? Apple's Timecapsule sounds good but wouldn't get anything off-site. And I take it uploading thousands of raw images to the cloud would be either impossible or costly in terms of time or money?
All backup strategies are best when they are automatic (i.e. don't rely on the human user to remember to do it) and backups must go on a different physical disk than the originals. Many people backup to the cloud, see for example, the commercial service called Carbonite. In your backup strategy for Lightroom, you need to make regular, automated bakcups of the images and also of the catalog file.

Raw File conversion to Tiff or Jpeg - best workflow for multiple files in Photo Shop Elements 11

Hello, I am pretty new to shooting in raw and Photoshop Elements (11). I have one big problem. Once I open Elements up and load the Raw files from the SD card it shows them all on the left side in Camera Raw. I make my contrast and color adjustments if needed, but then my problem starts: I do not really want to make any further adjustments in Elements itself, but in order to save my Raw files either as Tiff or Jpeg it seems like I need to - through clicking on the "open image". Now it only opens up that one particular photo. I did not manage to go simply back to Camera Raw to grab the next one as the screen just disappears. However, this one by one process is of course not the preferred way. I know that there is batch processing, but am also not sure if my adjustments that I did in Camera Raw will carry over as I am actually never saving anything and would like to avoid saving it before all manually as .dng files as it would just be another extra step. I hope I could make clear where I have problems and what I would like to achieve and hope you can help me. Many thanks in advance.
Philip

Simply select and edit each picture thumbnail from the left panel without clicking 'Done' or 'Open'.
When you have edited each individual picture, select all your thumbnails - click on the first one - shift click on the last one. They should be all highlighted.
Then simply click 'Done'.
Your edits are saved in sidecar xmp files.
If the thumbnails are not yet automatically updated, select the files, right click and choose 'Update thumbnail'.
No need to use the editor with 'Open as' if you don't want any further edit or jpeg/tiff/psd/png version.
Edit:
I am not sure I have understood your question.
The above process lets you convert and edit a batch of raw files without opening the editor.
If you want to get jpeg or tiff files from the already edited raw files, either use the 'process multiple files' of the editor or the 'export' feature from the Organizer.
The common raw workflow in Elements consists in converting small batches as explained above to take advantage of applying common edits or individual differences. In some cases you want to open the editor, in others not.
That's at the input time.
When you want to output pictures, the selection of picture is different for each purpose. You'll include pictures edited in different batches, some still in raw format, others already converted in version sets to jpeg/tiff... For each output purpose, those selected pictures can be sent to the destination folder in the required format withoug opening the editor at that stage either using 'process multiple files' or 'export'.

Best way for multiple users to sync separate iPods

My wife and I share a laptop at home, but we have different musical tastes. I have iTunes installed but I'm having difficulty keeping her songs separate from mine. She has a new iPod and wants to purchase songs etc and sync them to her iPod without getting all of my songs. Any advice

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.

Best Practice for Multiple iTunes and One Account?

My wife and I share our account for our iPhone Applications and Songs in iTunes.
Can someone point me to a topic that covers a best practice for multiple iTunes syncing?
I travel a lot and keep my iPhone synced to my Macbook Pro while she uses the workstation at home to sync to. We keep the addresses and contacts and calendars synced through MobileMe, however, I'm trying to find the best way of pushing applications and songs I've bought over to the other PC so they're still around while I'm traveling for her to sync with.
Thoughts?

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1. If you select single file, then it is able to return file size correctly. However, if you select multiple files, then the file size of each of the selected file is always returned as 0 from javascript. This works correctly in Safari 4.0 but it does not work in Safari 5.1.
How do I get the correct file size in Safari 5.1 ?

If you want to post (or send me) a link to the lrcat file, I'd take a look at it for you, and give you a break-down what's consuming all the bytes. But it might be fun to learn how to do that yourself (e.g. using SQL). I use SQLiteSpy, but other people have their favorites.. (or you can use a command-line client if you prefer..). One way: just run "drop table "{table-name}" on each table then look at filesize (do this to a copy, not the real thing).
Anyway, it's hard to imagine keywords and captions etc. taking much of the space, since even if you had 1000 10-character words of text metadata per photo average that still only adds up to 117MB, which isn't a substantial portion of that 8G you're seeing occupied.
Anyway, if you've painted the heck out of most of them and not cleared dev history, that'll do it - that's where I'd put my money too...
One thing to consider to keep file-size down:
===================================
* After reaching a milestone in your editing, take a snapshot then clear edit history, or the top part of it anyway (e.g. leave the import step), using a preset like:
Clear Edit History.lrtemplate
s = {
    id = "E36E8CB3-B52B-41AC-8FA9-1989FAFD5223",
    internalName = "No Edit",
    title = "Clear Edit History",
    type = "Develop",
    value = {
        settings = {
            NoEdit = true,
        uuid = "34402820-B470-4D5B-9369-0502F2176B7F",
    version = 0,
(that's my most frequently used preset, by far ;-})
PS - I've written a plugin called DevHistoryEditor, which can auto-consolidate steps and reduce catalog size - it's a bit cumbersome to use a.t.m. but in case you're interested...

Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?

I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH!
So....
What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one? I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way? I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over. Any suggestions on best way to do this?
Another question, perhaps subquestion. If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.

Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.

[vmware] Best way to share files between host and client

Good afternoon!
I have successfully installed VMware server on my machine and set up a virtual machine, powering Windows XP for study issues (emulation via wine does not do the trick for me). The virtual machine runs fast and stable but does not meet my requirements unless I have two issues faced:
First:
How to access a USB pendrive monunted by the host system properly within the client?
Second:
What is the best way to share file system space between host and client? Should I set up a Samba share which is accessible for both host and client or is it save to grant my VM access to my physical hard disc as a whole (using it as a partition)?
Thanks for answers in advance, I have still quite a lot to learn, when it comes to VMs.
Regards,
~cg

Do not setup your VMware to be able to access your physical disk as a whole. This would have you mounting the filesystem twice, corrupting it in the process.
You /can/ setup VMware with Sharing Folders that lets you share your filesystem (either / or just /home or something else) and that is what I would recommend.
As for accessing the pen drive from both operating systems at once, I'd say use the same Sharing Folders method. I always share /mnt so that I can access my cdrom/USB/etc from the vmware OS.
The sharing folders is basically the same as a samba share, but uses vmware's own method (HGFS). Samba is more secure (if you are worried about your VMware OS breaking from it's shell and attacking your real filesystem, which is unlikely). You need the vmware tools installed to make use of it.

Best way for building an application main frame

I'm about to program a desktop application.
The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
My question is which is the best way for building it.
Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
P.S.
The application makes extensive use of RMI.
What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

Hi,
I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
Have a great day.

Best way for capturing HDV

Best way for capturing HDV
using easy setup setted to HDV1080 50i (camera is a Sony HDV HC1) captured video look like sh...
and when exported with compressor is worst!
some idea?

Ok fantastic ! you are right (the frustration was talking for me)
video is shooted in 16:9 HDV 1080 50i
Captured video looks:
full of orizontal lines (that look like scan lines) expecially evident on figure edges and on motion subjects
and
like it was resized 1440x1080i from a different lower resolution
video is exported with compressor
MPEG-2 3.7Mbps 2-pass 16:9
Description: Fits up to 150 minutes of video with Dolby Digital audio at 192 Kbps or 120 minutes with AIFF audio on a DVD-5
File Extension: m2v
Video Encoder
Format: M2V
Width and Height: Automatic
Pixel aspect ratio: default
Crop: None
Frame rate: (100% of source)
Frame Controls: Automatic
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Field dominance: Auto detect
Average data rate: 3.7 (Mbps)
2 Pass VBR enabled
Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)
High quality
Best motion estimation
Closed GOP Size: 1/2 second, Structure: IBBP
DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
In these case the first problem is i can't obtain 16:9 format an the lines becomes more more evidents
software is Final cut Studio HD
camera is Sony HDV HC1e
hope I wrote all the info
Thx

Best Way for login???

I was just wondering what everyone thought would be the best
way for a secure login with 4 different access levels. It's going
to do just how it sounds, different levels see/have different
access to different functions and components in the program. Would
an initial php login work? Would it be difficult to implement it
inside Flex?? Any input would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!!

It is absolutely possible using states. What you do is assign
certain access level to the different states for example...
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="Visitor">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{myLoginHBox}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuHBox}"
position="lastChild">
<view:LogoutHBox/>
</mx:AddChild>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Visitor Area" width="100%"
height="100%" id="canvas1">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="Youth" basedOn="Visitor">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas1}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Youth Area" width="100%" height="100%"
id="canvas2">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="Member" basedOn="Youth">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas2}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Member Area" width="100%" height="100%"
id="canvas3">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="PowerMember" basedOn="Member">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas3}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Power Member Area" width="100%"
height="100%" id="canvas4">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="AssistantAdministrator"
basedOn="PowerMember">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas4}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Assistant Administrator Area"
width="100%" height="100%" id="canvas5">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="SeniorAdministrator"
basedOn="AssistantAdministrator">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas5}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Senior Administrator Area" width="100%"
height="100%" id="canvas6">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
Then you create a loginResultHandler that first checks to see
if the user is logged in. If the user is logged you then check for
their access level. Personally I used digits (in my example roles 1
through 6). The digit is what I store in my database. Once the
logged in user's role is established the state is changed
accordingly. Do some research on using states! It will absolutely
help you to do what you are looking to do. An example of the code
for the loginResultHandler is...
// loginResultHandler function
private function loginResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
currentUser = event.result as User;
if (currentUser.loggedIn)
// If login successful
if (currentUser.roles == "5")
this.currentState='Youth';
else if (currentUser.roles == "4")
this.currentState='Member';
else if (currentUser.roles == "3")
this.currentState='PowerMember';
else if (currentUser.roles == "2")
this.currentState='AssistantAdministrator';
else if (currentUser.roles == "1")
this.currentState='SeniorAdministrator';
else
currentUser.roles == "6";
this.currentState='Visitor';
myLoginHBox.visible=false;
else
// If login unsuccessful
Alert.show("Login unsuccessful", "Server Authentication");
I just finished setting up role based authentication using a
combination of Flex 2, ColdFusion MX 7.02 and MS SQL Server Express
2005. It took my two weeks to set up my CFC's (ColdFusion
Components) and ActionScript files properly.
My user login form is authenticated against my database. If
the user is properly logged in he can only view what he is
authorized to view. :)

Best way to keep files on IMac and Macbook Pro in Sync

Hi ...
Using the Migration Assistant would be tedious and time consuming.
You can setup an iCloud account and sync your Macs since you have Lion installed on both. If you have iCloud enabled, if for example you add a bookmark in Safari, that bookmark will sync via your Wi-Fi network to the other Mac automatically.
