Best way to turn a looped region into one regular region.

Hello,
This is going to be a very easy question for someone to answer.
When I record a small part (say just a 2 bar lick) I then pull the end corner to loop it.
FANTASTIC.
But I would rather view it on the main window as one solid region, rather than seeing the little ''bite marks'' that make it look like an accordion, or a bunch of regions pushed together. To me, that looks messy.
I have yet to find a way to quickly turn it into one region. Would the best way really be to bounce in place, because merging or joining does not seem to work for loops.
Again, I'm sure it is something I'm missing here that it quite simple.
I'm still trying to get my logic legs and put my PT ones on hold for the time being.
Cheers.

Bounce in place.

Best way to place lots of images into one

Hello,
I have made a Javascript script that loops between 20.000+ images and puts them into a main image. Code is:
var sampleDocToOpen = File('~/a/'+(l+startF)+'/'+(i+start)+'.png')
open (sampleDocToOpen)
app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll()
app.activeDocument.selection.copy()
app.activeDocument.close()
app.documents[0]
app.activeDocument.paste()
it works, but it is extremely slow (I also have the main image flattened every 30-40 images to make it quicker).
So i tried to place the images directly into the main image via:
function placeFile(file) {
     var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
     desc.putPath( charIDToTypeID('null'), file );
     desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('FTcs'), charIDToTypeID('QCSt'), charIDToTypeID('Qcsa') );
         var offsetDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
         offsetDesc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hrzn'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 0.000000 );
         offsetDesc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Vrtc'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 0.000000 );
     desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Ofst'), charIDToTypeID('Ofst'), offsetDesc );
     executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Plc '), desc, DialogModes.NO );
But after opening few images it says that "scratch disks are full", and I verify that it is true since almost 500GB of the HD are used by the application... Images are 512x512 each, thus the resulting image main image is 83456x63488.
Is there a faster way I could try to use??
Thanks a lot!

And also realize what is going on. First your using a script. Though a script is a program with logic its source code which is not compiled into machine code its has to be intrepided into machine executable code as the script processor iterate through your buffered source code. This itself takes time. Then you have to understand what is happening in your loop and what Photoshop has to do once the Script code can be executed. Using Copy and Paste or Place requires Photoshop to open and read in 20,000 encoded jpeg images files and one way or the other decode the encoded image for rendering to copy it to the Clipboard or render the embedded smart object copy into the Smart Object Layer. Then there is the other code that you have to add canvas and distribute the images layers across the canvas. Intrepiding the script source code some 20,0000 times is something like doing 20,000 compiles where the source code is only read in once but is turned into machine executable code 20,0000 times. To process 20,000 encoded images files using a full feature image Editor program and a scripting process is going to take a long tome and require a lot of machine resources. If you want a fast solution you will need custom compiled program designed for your process. Still reading and decoding 20,000 small jpeg image files is going to take some time and require quite a bit of machine resources. It might be better to use an image file format that doesn't use compression and complex image encoding to cut down on the amount of processing reqruired .

What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

What version of Illustrator? What do you mean by "Line Art"? What do you mean by "3d image"? Post images showing your starting artwork and an example of what you are trying to achieve.
If you have Illustrator 12 or higher you can extrude or lathe a simple group or path using Effects > 3D > [Pick one]. You must start with vector data, not a placed raster image. You are very limited in what you can do, and you cannot model multiple objects within one 3D world. Each object you extrude/revolve/rotate is its own world, with its own perspective and camera. You can also make any art into a Symbol, then map that symbol onto any 3D surface you create. The results are, at best, acceptable, and often total garbage.

Best way to insert millions of records into the table

Hi,
Performance point of view, I am looking for the suggestion to choose best way to insert millions of records into the table.
Also guide me How to implement in easier way to make better performance.
Thanks,
Orahar.

Its Distributed data. No. of clients and N no. of Transaction data fetching from the database based on the different conditions and insert into another transaction table which is like batch process.Sounds contradictory.
If the source data is already in the database, it is centralised.
In that case you ideally do not want the overhead of shipping that data to a client, the client processing it, and the client shipping the results back to the database to be stored (inserted).
It is must faster and more scalable for the client to instruct the database (via a stored proc or package) what to do, and that code (running on the database) to process the data.
For a stored proc, the same principle applies. It is faster for it to instruct the SQL engine what to do (via an INSERT..SELECT statement), then pulling the data from the SQL engine using a cursor fetch loop, and then pushing that data again to the SQL engine using an insert statement.
An INSERT..SELECT can also be done as a direct path insert. This introduces some limitations, but is faster than a normal insert.
If the data processing is too complex for an INSERT..SELECT, then pulling the data into PL/SQL, processing it there, and pushing it back into the database is the next best option. This should be done using bulk processing though in order to optimise the data transfer process between the PL/SQL and SQL engines.
Other performance considerations are the constraints on the insert table, the triggers, the indexes and so on. Make sure that data integrity is guaranteed (e.g. via PKs and FKs), and optimal (e.g. FKs should be indexes on the referenced table). Using triggers - well, that may not be the best approach (like for exampling using a trigger to assign a sequence value when it can be faster done in the insert SQL itself). Personally, I avoid using triggers - I rather have that code residing in a PL/SQL API for manipulating data in that table.
The type of table also plays a role. Make sure that the decision about the table structure, hashed, indexed, partitioned, etc, is the optimal one for the data structure that is to reside in that table.

What is the best way to turn emitter on/off very fast?

What is the best way to turn emitter on/off very fast? Now we are using very slow shutdown.
Why do we need this feature? Because it is important to solve the problem of interference, when two IR sensors are working at the same time and are grabbing the data.
We are porting now our solution to Kinect v2 from PrimeSense/RealSense.
I am also have a list of other questions (interpolation of data, problems with different types of surfaces, etc) and it will be great if someone can contact me by email ([email protected]), so I can
provide link to our assets (PLY, video, shots) and detailed report about issues that we have.
Best regards,
Konstantin

There is no api to support turning on/off the emitter. The only way to stop the sensor is to call Close on the sensor/reader object. Keep in mind if there are other applications with outstanding readers/sensors open will keep the sensor on.

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
However, is there better way to do this?
The eventual log file will be something like:
log message 1
log message 2
content from file line 1
content from file line 2
content from file line 3
log message 3
log message 4Thanks

Thank you and let me explain:
1. What do you mean by better?
I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.

2.The only better way I can think of is not having to do it, but I assume you have a very good reason to want to do this.
Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?
        File AAA - contents
                   First Line
                   Second Line XXX
        Log 1
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: First Line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following line
        Log 2
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: ----- File: AAA -------------
                First Line
                Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following lineBoth of the above have some advantages and disadvantages.
The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.

I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?

I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running? I get an "X" when trying to copy to the "automatically add to itunes" folder on the 2nd computer.

ok... so i i just made sure all my music is all together in 1 folder and i am going to trash my old music folder that is in the itunes folder... and follow your directions - let itunes start w/new library and bring my music in. Well, last little hurdle/question. I noticed that the place where my itunes library is - on an external drive doesnt have much space left on it. The place where i gathered all my music together in order to start fresh - is a different external drive and has LOTS of free space on it.
SO... i now would like to just keep all that freshly compiled clean music right where it is but in advanced preferences I want to point to that new folder on the drive that has so much more space. So... should i delete the old music then go into itunes with a blank library and change the folder in preferences - quit and go back in and then follow your steps to loading my music? If i change the setting of where itunes looks for the music - that doesn't wipe out the old stuff... it just mixes it all up together right? I dont want that!!
i promise this is the last question - i would love to fix this problem tonight and just be DONE!
Thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge!!

What best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm 2012 sp 1

what best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm 2012
and what the difference between wake on lan and out of band service point role

Hey!!! I am a 1E engineer and MVP... we started the power management movement with our very first software product, created around 12 or so years ago, called 1E WakeUp. The complete solution which manages power on (integrated with SCCM, or stand alone if
you are not an SCCM shop) and power off (under a tightly controlled process) is called
NightWatchman
Here is a
recent blog post I authored that was the last in a series documenting the entire wake-up process including how it integrates with SCCM or stood up standalone. It contains links to those earlier posts that explain our entire technology, so you will likely
want to read all of them in order for a full understanding of our technology. It works incredibly well, is the most mature solution in the industry, and is extremely simple to install with minimal resources.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me privately

Firstly, give your Pod a lot of time to dry out before trying to use it - at least a week, a fortnight might even be advisable. Water takes a surprisingly long time to evaporate from inside something.

Is there a way to merge several iCal calendars into one?

Anyone know if there is a way to merge several iCal calendars into one Calendar? I've separated a few different calendars for things and want to merge all of those events into one universal Calendar. I asked Apple Support and they stated there isn't a way to do this. So, I'm throwing this out there in case someone knows a way.
Thank you!

Found the answer after troubleshooting on my own. I was able to do this on a PC by using Office 2007 and the calendar in there. I also had to setup Mobile Me to the calendar on my PC which was fairly easy.
What you'll have to do is have Mobileme sync your calendar data with Outlook.
Then after they sync in Outlook... manually select each imported calendar, choose to view all appointments, select all (to select all of your events), copy, then paste them into the main "Calendar".
Follow this step for all of your calendars and it works like charm.
The only thing left to do after you've copied them all is to delete the old calendars after you have all of the events copied.
This may be able to be done in iCal too using similar methods, however it was really easy for me to do it in Windows with Outlook 2007.
Just keep in mind that you want to view all events from each separate calendar and just copy those into your main calendar.

Best way to embed an Mov file into interactive flash game?

Hey,
just a quick query. I'm creating an interactive flash game for a university project. It's along the lines of Guitar Hero, Tap Tap Revolution, Boom Boom Rocket etc..
At the moment the game comprises of streaks of notes generated by Actionscript which the user much hit the corresponding key when notes are in the receptor. The background at the moment is an audio spectrum analyser created using AS based on the music playing.
I want to add loop movie file as the very background of the stage and was just wondering what was the best way to place it there with the least ammount of overheads. At the moment I have it in a child movie clip placed on the stage, in which I use File -> Import and embeded the FLV file into the time line. This works, however lags out quite badly.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
John Minns

Have you tried this method?
1. Save as new file.
2. With your usual color management preferences selected, run Xtras>Color>'Name all colors'.
3. In color swatches list, select all colors. From swatches pop-up menu 'Make RGB'.
4. In Preferences>Color, set color management settings to 'None'. The RGB colors should look about the same as they did with color management on.
Now you should be able to export to Flash with RGB colors that look quite close to your CMYK version of the file.
This should work the same in FH9 or FHMX. I hope it does the trick for you.
