Brush Grouping / Dividers / Sections

When I boot up photoshop rather then opening each brush pack individually I just keep them all open. As you might guess, this makes my brush window huge; sometimes it takes me 5 minutes to locate a specific brush.
I think it would be very benificial to have a set up in the brush menu similar to how groups are set up in the layers menu. You make a  "group/section/divider" then, when in the preset manager be able to drag brushes in to the groups. This could also be applied to patterns as well.
Just a simple suggestion I know would make a lot of peoples lives much easier (it doesn't seem like it would be too hefty on the programming side either).
If it has been suggested already, I apologize.
Edit: After digging a little further in depth I found that there have been some suggests made. I really liked HitsujiKinno's tagging idea (that could also be applied to fonts as well). I do also think simple dividers would do the trick as well.
I also saw someone mention to just use the preset manager. HitsujiKinno also made a good point that after a point it gets hard to even determine what brush pack you are looking for (they do pile up). I also don't think that saving brush packs is the most effective method that could be used.

In the main report insert a group on Value and in group footer place a subreport that consist of data under Volume group. Pass the Volume field value from main report to subreport using change subreport links by right clicking the subreport.

  • Special summary field in the group footer section.

    Post Author: Razzle00
    CA Forum: General
    I have a Crystal Report that reads a customer file grouped by custid.  In the group footer section I need to place the value of the category field from each customer record in a seperate field on the report to match the section text label.The output of the report would look something like this for each customer id (1 page per cusomter id)....
    Customer Table Example:Custid   Category  Section
    101        C         1101        B         3101        D         6101        A         2 230        B         2230        D         3 230        E         1115        A         5115        C         6
    Each page of report example output:************************************************<pageheader>
    Customer Number: 101
    <Details><groupfootersection>
    This customer has the follow for each section:
    Section 1: C  Section 2: A  Section 3: BSection 4:Section 5:Section 6: D
    <Pagefooter>************************************************
    How would I create a field that could diplay the category for each section in the groupfootersection of the report?I realize this could be done in the detail secion of the report for each record, but I do not have the optionto use the detail band.  It has to be done in the groupfootersection so that the fields can be placed in variousplaces depending on customers preference.

    A group footer will dis[lay contents of the last record. You need to sort records to ensure that the last record contains link to your dynamic image.

  • Can Grow Fields in Group Header Section Overlap

    Does anyone know of a size limitation to can grow fields on a group header section?   I have 2 fields in a group header section of my report.  They are defined as varchar(3000) and varchar(6000).   However, on my test case, the contents of each has lengths of 1,113 and 572 respectively.   The fields are listed vertically in the group.   The one that's listed on top, overlaps the one on the bottom.
       field_varchar(3000)
      field_varchar(6000)
    Thanks in advance for any help or information you can provide.

    Thank you SO MUCH!   That worked!!   I should've thought of that myself - but I'm pretty new to Crystal.

  • Dynamic Picture Displaying in the Group Footer Section

    Hi all,
    I am building a sales quotation layout for SBO in crystal 2008.
    The layout has only one group. The first line in each group in considered to be a slaes tree father.
    For every group i need to display the picture of the "father" in the group footer  (one picture for every group).
    I get up to the stage when for each line in the detailes section i have a picture, but for all the lines other then the "father" line the picture is supressed.
    My problem is moving the displayed fahter picture from the detailes section to the group footer section. Every time i copy the picture field to the group footer nothing is displayed.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Udi

  • Create folders for brush groups, like swatch folders CS4

    I enjoy the folders in the swatch palette,
    can we add something like this for brushes,? right now it groups brushes by brush type when listing brushes, scatter, art etc,
    I`d like to be able to drag/drop brushes into different folders, and name the folders, then be able to save those folders out as brush groups (brush libraries), but not necessarily all the brush folders or brushes on that palette, just the brush folders we select.

    I`d also like to be able to, in "list view" of the brushes palette, as you hover over a brush name, a pop up window about 4x4 cm appears showing the shape of the pattern of that brush, the thumb view doesnt give me the name feedback I need and the list view omits the pattern shape,
    The pop up of the brush head also allows me to identify the exact shape variation of the brush in list view, I prefer list view as identifying a brush by name is important, thumb view is not large enough and besides this I identify the words quicker, but then the brush head pop up would allow clearer identification of different variants within a brush group, helpful when your using all kinds of floral swirl brushes and they look very similiar, different organic brushes with slight variations like this are also hard to "name' and by name identify the differences unless you can see  a clear visual of the brush head..

  • BUG? : group by section of long query changes on edit of query

    I labeled BUG with a question mark, but something is definitely not right. The question is where.
    I am trying SQL Developer in my Maintenance tasks for a client. At one point I was editing a big ugly query in a package that denormalize a bunch of stuff into temporary report tables As I edited and compiled strange things were happening to the group by section of queries. It took me a while to narrow it down to the group by section changing as I edited various statements.
    I then took one of the queries into a separate worksheet and found the same thing happened.
    Specifically, the query was an "insert into xxxx select ..." There were 20 or 30 columns and a couple criteria and a group by clause. When one of the calcs for a column was changed the first 10 or so character of the column specs replaced the group by clause.
    I have screenshots of the before and after and have the export of the About dialog prepped to be sent to someone who can deal with this.
    Matthew Denson

    Hi Matthew,
    SQL Developer has functionality that attempts to automatically generate the Group By clause for you - there arecurrently some problems with how it works for certain types of statement structures. The simplest thing to do is switch off this functionality (Tools > Preferences > Code Editor > Completion Insight > Autogenerate GROUP BY clause) which should stop it modifying the group by when you change the rest of the query.

  • Is it possible to have a Summary section display above every grouped Details section in a report?

    I'm trying to create a report that displays a "Summary" section above every grouped Details section.
    Is this possible in SSRS?  If so, what is the best way to do it?
    Thanks!

    Hi mmw_pdx,
    In order to achieve your requirement, we can use two tables to separately display summary data and detail data. Then use a list to combine the two tables based on the Name group. For more details, please see:
    Drag a table to design surface, add a group grouped by Food.
    Right-click the first column to insert a column with Inside Group-Right, then insert the corresponding values.
    Drag another table to design surface, insert the corresponding values.
    Drag a list to design surface with current dataset, then drag the two tables in the list.
    Add a group grouped by Name in the list.
    The following screenshot is for your reference:
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • Forcing a new page and using CAN GROW in a group header section??

    Two Questions:
    1) Is it possible to force a new page at any given position of the report?
    I have a summary report with drill downs.  My problem is that the vendor name and address (group 3 which is split into 3 subgroups GH3a GH3Bb GH3c) is sometimes at the end the page and the rest of the information (detaila and detail b with GFs) continue on the next page.
    Can I specify a specific time or position when to page so that if this happens I can make the vendor name print on the next page?
    I know of the keep group together option in the section expert but that keeps the detail together with the group heading - which is not the problem I am trying to resolve.
    2) Can the group header and group footer sections be set to CAN GROW?
    Thank you,
    JS

    If a field exists in a section and the field is set to can grow, the section will grow with the field.
    CR2008 allows you to page after X number of records in the details section. See section expert, paging tab (Details Section)
    If you are not using CR2008 you could calculate the number of records per group and new page after this based on the number of records.

  • Group totals summary in another group summary section

    I have a report requirements that need to re-display the group total in a summary section.   Please see below simple example.  The second summary does not have fixed number of Units, it depends how many units are in each Department.
    I am not able to reproduce the department summary.   Is this possible in SSRS, I can do this in crystal?
    Example:
    Department ABC  Unit 100
    details line here....
    Unit 100 totals here
    Unit 120
    details line here.....
    Unit 120 totals here
    Unit 140....... 
    Department ABC summary
    Unit 100 total
    Unit 120 total
    Unit 140 total
    Department XYZ 
    Unit .................
    Department XYZ summary
    unit totals.................... (one to many)
    Final Summary
    Department ABC total
    Department XYZ total
    Jim Pan

    Hi Jim,
    In your case, we can work around the issue in SSRS. Suppose we have a dataset (DataSet1) include following fields: Department, Unit, Amount. Please refer to the following steps:
    Add a table in the report body. Please refer to the table structure below:
    Parent Group: Department
    Child Group: Unit
    Data: Amount
    Click the blank arrow of (Details) in the Row Groups dialog box. Click Add Total.
    Use the same method add total to the Unit and Department group.

  • Creating a brush group

    Hi, I have downloaded some free brushes to try out, and can upload them no prob. but can only add them to preset groups of brushes (such as basic brushes, calligraphic brushes etc. As i have a lot of brushes to add, the group becomes big and hard to manage.
    Is there a way I can add a new group of brushes, where I can put all of my custom brushes, to keep them seperate from photohsops preset brushes?
    I use windows/cs2

    I had to trick it into making a custom brush file.
    In preset manager i told it to save a set and put the name as custom brushes then you have to find the brush folder in your adobe file of your programs files and find that brush set and tell the computer to open it in photoshop. After that it does have that catagory under your brush drop down for you to organize brushes in.

  • Helpful Phone Favorites Hint: Group Dividers!

    I have about 30-35 'favorites' on my iPhone, and when they are all just in one big list, it kinda *****.
    I developed a nice clean workaround for the limitation that doesn't allow any form of grouping; it's 'flat-file' (meaning unlike the groups, you do not have to enter into a folder), but it is a visual break so you can have family/friends/clients/business groups.
    it looks something like this:
    VIP one
    VIP two
    Vip three
    ------> family
    Family one
    Family two
    Family three
    ------> friends
    Friend one
    Friend two
    Friend three
    ------> clieents
    Client one
    Client two
    Client three
    ------> business
    Bus one
    Bus two
    Bus three
    =====
    comparing to no divider:
    VIP one
    VIP two
    Vip three
    Family one
    Family two
    Family three
    Friend one
    Friend two
    Friend three
    Client one
    Client two
    Client three
    Bus one
    Bus two
    Bus three
    really is no comparison.
    i put the 5 or so people i call the most above the 'family' group
    i also made a bonus; since the trick is to have a contact with the name "------->" and assign phone numbers with custom labels 'family, friends, clients, business'... those dividers are actually live phone numbers; i assigned them to the at&t wireless shortcuts for MIN, DATA, BAL and PAY.
    ie,. if you want to know how many minutes you have left tap the ----> family and 3 seconds later you get a free sms with the answer.
    anyhow I made a special 'contact' you put in your addressbook and 'add to favorites' any of the headers useful to you; use the 'edit' in favorites to slide them into position and re-arrange your favorites.
    http://rouse.biz/iphone/Favorites_Separator.vcf
    as an added bonus:
    http://rouse.biz/iphone/ATT_Wireless.vcf
    is a special address card with many of the email addresses ATT uses and labels for the various sms code numbers; so for example, rather than seeing 102 as the 'name' of the sms for remaining minutes your SMS will say 'AT&T Wireless' with the subject 'Minutes Remaining'.
    it's really clean, promise you'll like it.
    I've posted the idea at bug-reports hoping they will roll it into a future release, but this works very well as-is, not sure how they can improve it.

    Right on!!!
    If apple would of built a phone with all the features of others out there on the market, it would just be another phone out on the market with Apple branding. When designers go about making a new product they have to think outside of the proverbial box. Now I do understand why people are asking for these features... this is because they have no other point of reference. But you have to understand that Apple has a long history of making products that raise the bar for the industry. I have a feeling we are going to see other makers of cell phones either drop their prices to make it soooo attractive that it would be nuts not to buy it, or they will have to go back to the drawing boards and rise to the level of ingenuity that Apple has achieved.

  • How to add a field object to group header section in crystal report document?

    Hi All, I have got two questions mentioned below, please share your inputs. 1)I want to know whether it is possible to add a field object to header section in crystal report document programmatically? I am using crystal runtime for visual studio. I know that using RAS we can do it, but I want to do it using managed library of crystal runtime. Please suggest. 2) I am doing a POC where I am using RAS (unmanaged library) to manipulated crystal report document. Please see code below: var dbTable = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables[0]; var dbField = dbTable.DataFields.FindField(item.ColumnName,                         CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameName,                         CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CeLocale.ceLocaleEnglishUS); CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject fieldObject = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject();                     fieldObject.DataSourceName = dbField.Name;                     fieldObject.FieldValueType = dbField.Type; var groupHeaderArea = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.GroupHeaderArea[0].Sections[i]; _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(fieldObject, groupHeaderArea); In above code last line throwing exception : "The report field type is not valid." at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportObjectControllerClass.Add(ISCRReportObject ReportObject, Section Section, Int32 nIndex) Thanks, Jai

    Hi Jaikumar
    As per the SCN Rules of engagement, one question per thread please.
    Re. your 1st question. Adding a field to a report is considered to be a report creation APIs (RCAPI). Only the RAS SDK has RCAPIs, so you can not use plain jane crystal APIs. For how to with RAS, see the examples here: NET RAS SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
    Also, consult the Developer Help Files:
    Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
    Report Application Server .NET API Guide
    Re. your second question, please create a new discussion.

  • Grouping two sections in one report

    Hello,
    I am newbie to Crystal Reports.I have one doubt in designing a report.
    The proto for the report is:
    Date: XX:XX:XXXX
                                    Sales Report - Value
    S No     Item         Increase    Decrease
    1           XXX
    2           YYY
                                    Sales Report - Volume
    S No     Item         Increase    Decrease
    1           XXX
    2           YYY
    Here, there is a hyperlink in Item in both Value Report and Volume Report, which opens a subreport about the item.
    How can i proceed the proto. It is easy to group an item if it is only Sales - Value Report.
    Here, both Value and Volume report should present in main report.How can i proceed with Sales Report - Value and Sales Report - Volume in a single report file, without subreport concept.
    If i use the subreport here, i am not able to include a subreport- hyperlink in Item.
    Thanks in advance.
    With Regards,
    Suresh M.

    In the main report insert a group on Value and in group footer place a subreport that consist of data under Volume group. Pass the Volume field value from main report to subreport using change subreport links by right clicking the subreport.

  • Auto section group/stop section

    Does stop section stops the indexing of the content between stop section tag of XML?
    Is there a way to stop intermedia to index a xml tag? Not just does to display like seting the visibility to false, but ignore the text between a xml tag.
    null

    I'm not sure why your stop sections aren't working, but if you know the layout of the document I would recoomend using explcitly-defined field sections rather than auto_section_group.
    This will be a lot more efficient for querying.
    It will still index the data outside of the <NAME> section, though as part of the "default" section. If you don't want to index that, you could use a user_datastore to remove all the stuff apart from what you want to index.

  • Is there any way to group "artists" section on iPhone by Artist name, NOT album artist?

    I add music to my iphone 5s manually, by playlists. sometimes I add music manually by dragging it to my iPhone. When I go to Music and then Artists, a lot of the names are not alphabetical because they are sorted by "Album artist". Is there a way to change it to just "Artist" so it will sort it according to JUST artist name?

    Nobody?
