How do I copy the introduction of a project to other projects?

I am trying to find out how to copy the introduction (video clip + title + audio clip) of my video series from one project to another.... so far, the only information I can find tells me to 'open both projects at once'.... I have searched everywhere and cannot figure out how to open multiple projects at once.... i can copy the video clip to a new project, but the title and audio track don't come with it... they won't drag and drop nor copy and paste into the new project. I plan to have many episodes of my video series, and want my standard introduction to be at the beginning of each new project, without having to do the title and audio from scratch each time, like i am doing now.
thanks for any help.....

Does this mean I would have to then delete all the other clips/audio, etc from the new, duplicated project? Surely there must be a way to just copy one section into a new project. I start making some of the new projects in advance, and want to drop the intro into the beginning... if I already have the next three or four 'episodes' (projects) already started, the duplication thing won't work.....

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

Insane XML Import, Huge Project, Duplicate file names work around...

I planned on kicking off my journey attempting to edit a massive multi year documentary on FCPX with a nice introduction of the blog I'm going to keep about the experience, but I've run into a bit of a roadblock, or maybe major speed bump at least before even getting to that point. I wanted to share what is working as a work around for me and you guys can tell me how I'm doing it wrong.
Ok, I will try to explain this as succinctly as possible. I'll write in somewhat stream of consciousness just to try and get through it quicker... Basically, after discovering the work around below, I am now utterly confused on how FCPX handles the relationship between its own database of where media is stored, and the actual media itself. I have plenty experience on FCPX now, probably done 30-40 pro commercial jobs on it over the last year since XML became doable as I'm also a Resolve Colorist and all the FCPX projects where hardcore coloring product spots. For commercial work, I never needed to worry about splitting up footage up over multiple Events. Everything, all in one, FCPX handled it no problem. (well the occasional beach ball, but that seems to be a thing with FCPX in general)
This will be my 10th feature documentary as an Editor. Every one before it was either on Avid's many flavors over the last 12 years or FCP Studio. When this new film came along, I made the decision a few months ago to use FCPX for a few reasons, but mostly because I'm insane and I like to try to mix it up for myself in a career that can get stale quick if you aren't willing to be that way. The film was shot over 2+ years, every shoot was multi cam 5D (yes i know, looks great, but please kill me), I haven't done the math on length, but there is over 10,000 clips of video (this is actually medium in size compared to what I've dealt with before). Its 5D, so theres external audio for everything. FCPX's syncing is great, but I've learned that theres an unsaid window of heads and tales clips must fall within to sync properly with the nearby clips, if they are too far apart FCPX gives up. One shoot day could have 3 cams, 50 clips each, and 2 audio files to sync to, FCPX simply cannot handle this, so off to Plural eyes they went, no problems.
Ok, all this is relevant eventually I swear! Again, in the past, all in one event, no problem. I tried for fun to bring all media into one Event on this film. It worked, but there is a 10+ second spinning beach ball for every single move you make, so thats no good. Ok, I'll separate the Events out to, lets say, each shoot month. Well that's dumb, in verite documentary, any shot could be the first, any shot could be the last, you need a command over all searchable footage at all times. Shift selecting all events to search *****, and it actually takes longer for FCP to reload each event each time than it does to just have the one massive one. So no go there. Next hair brained idea... What if make a new Event that is just Compound Clips of all the other Event's contents and do more with Markers and Favorites in logging that I was planning to parse it all out. That way I'm working with and FCPX is dealing with 50-60 clips instead of 10,000+ Quick test, Cmd-A, Opt-G, boom, boom, boom, move all to dedicated to Event, hide huge Event, BEHOLD, that works! FCPX chokes a little bit on the insane length of some of the clips, but searching, and general performance is back on par!
So your saying to yourself "Ok *********, sounds like you figured it out, what's the problem." Well to you I say, "Not so fast!" Remember, that was just a quick test using the media I had imported into the massive 10,000+ clip Event. To do this project proper, I am having to import Multicam sync'd XMLs from Plural Eyes. And this is where it all starts to fall apart. A little foreshadowing for your eager eyes. 10,000+ files all shot with multiple 5D's over the course of years. What does that mean? many, many duplicate file names!
FCPX as well all know irritatingly imports XML's as new Events, not into existing ones. This obviously takes a lot of burden off media management because with a new Event comes a new database referencing its own version of the raw media. All well and good, and I'm betting its starting to click for some if you advanced users where I'm finally going with this. So I have 50 or so XMLs to bring in, all done no problem. Now I want to replicate that singular Event like I did with the Compound Clip test and have it all in one place to be my master as extensive logging begins for easy searching once editing begins. Highlight the Events, click Merge Events. NOPE. I get a new "Kill Yourself Now" error (a term I coined for Out of Memory and General Error messages in FCP Legacy meaning there ain't much you can do about it): "Two or more files have the same name. Change the names and try again, because I don't know what the **** to do with them." Ok I made up that last part but that's basically what it's saying. Just take the variable out of the equation, this happens with every which way you could try to get the clips together. Merge Events, dragging events on top of each other, dragging just the Multicam clip alone, nothing gets passed that message. What's worse is that while Batch Renaming seems like a solution, the renames do not populate inside the created clips and there is no way to Batch Rename those. Renaming everything at the finder level isn't so great because then I'd have to resync and theres an offline/online thing going here where the film has to be reconformed eventually.
Basically, I've found that FCPX handles media management in completely different ways depending on whether you are importing into one Event yourself or doing essentially what is a new import with FCPX moving or merging Events. If you bring in all the media to one Event, on a macro level FCPX goes through file by file making aliases referencing the master file. If it hits a duplicate, it makes a parenthesis counter, and keeps going. And with the genius of FCPX metadata, that file name doesn't even matter, you can change it at the Finder level and FCPX will keep the link intact. BUT for some reason if you try to do this outside the realm of a single Event and combine files after the fact a different process takes over in creating this database system and can't handle the duplicates. I can't totally figure the reason other than it probably is scared to change the originally referenced alias to something else (which it shouldn't be scared of since Merge Events deletes the original anyway).
This is where it gets INSANE and where I lose all understanding of what is going on, and believe me it was a delicate understanding to begin with. It comes in to play with the work around I figured out. I make the master Event with the 10,000+ clips. Then I import all the XMLs as dedicated Events. Now, I then drag the Multicam clips into the master Event, it WORKS! just takes it, no "Kill Yourself Now" error. Stranger still, now with the switched referenced Event, it even takes into account which aliased duplicate file name it's referencing in the Original Media folder. Somehow, it's taking into account the original file path and saying "Ok, I see 5 instances of MVI_5834.mov. Based on the original file path or maybe creation date or god knows what, it must be MVI_5834 (fcp3).mov." It connects perfectly. I can even remove the old XML imported Event with no problem. Crazier yet, I can now move those again to the dedicated Event I wanted originally that only contains those Multicam or Compound Clips.
So instead of going straight from A to C, going from A to B to C works even though that actually seems way more complicated. Why can't FCPX handle Merge Events and dragging clips the same way it handles media imported into a single Event. And weirder still, why can't FCPX handle the (fcp1,2,3...) appending in the same scenario. But if the appended links are already there, No Problem. And for the love of god, it'd be nice to important XML's into existing Events and make the correct referencing happen right from the get go, which is really the source of all the above headache. I'd have no problem helping FCPX with a little manual pointing in the right direction just like any other NLE needs.
Ok, having said all of that crap above, my question is, have I missed something completely simple I should have done instead? Now that I have everything in place how I originally envisioned, I think I will still play around a little bit more to make sure FCPX is really going to be able to handle this project. I'm at a stage right now where going another direction is still an option, although the dare devil in me wants to make this work. Media management aside, once you start editing on a FCPX timeline, its hard to go back to anything else. Apple is going to have to figure out some way not to access to everything at all times to work fluidly or big projects like this are never going to be practical in FCPX.
Sorry for the long confusing post....

I'm having the exact same problem, but I know nothing of ruby scripts. I've exhausted my resources with tech support, and after literally hours of work with them it seems I now am faced with either re-rating each individual song, or pointing iTunes to each song that it can't locate. Is yours a solution that could help me? How can I find out more about Ruby Scripts? Thanks for your help, hellolylo (or anyone else who might also be able to help...)

Project idea: quickest way to load pictures and movies to the page.

In my homepage.mac.com website I used a javascript which referred to a text file to pre-load all the gif, jpeg and png graphic files into the users browser. The first page to my website was a small page of text someone would read and then given choices of where to click to next. The time for reading and deciding what to do next gave time for the person's browser to then load most if not all of the graphic files, this enabling faster loading of any of the following pages. This code:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="java/java_1.js">
</script>
</head>
is placed in the index.html file, and this code inside of a java/java_1.js text file:
Image1= new Image(31, 88); Image1.src = "images/valid-xhtml10.gif";
Image2= new Image(31, 88); Image2.src = "images/vcss.gif";
Image3= new Image(147, 270); Image3.src = "images/leftrobots.gif";
Image4= new Image(90, 125); Image4.src = "images/freebird.gif";
Image27= new Image(147, 270); Image5.src = "images/rightrobots.gif";
The introduction page to one's website has to be small, and contain info to make someone stop and read and to give the time necessary for the browser to work the pre-upload of graphics. Navigating between pages is noticeably faster once all the graphics are loaded in.
My homepage.mac.com webpage does load faster after I implemented the java code, though I haven't spent the time to implement it into my web.mac.com website. No time to do so as of lately.
And I'm sort of lazy in that it is not a priority to do so yet. Later on I will definitely want to tinker and put this code into my iWeb site, because my future website will probably contain alot of pictures, though if anyone is familiar with the script and wants to take the time to figure out how to work it into their iWeb website, and then pass on all the knowledge of how it's done to all of us here at these iWeb discussions ..., well, thanks for helping alot of us stay lazy and not have to struggle doing so ourselves. (:~}
Whoever you are or will be, let me thank you in advance. It's a project for anyone so inclined and interested in faster page loading of graphic files.

I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

I need a solution of this complicated problem to finalize my final project

Introduction
This project revolves around an important text processing task, text compression. In particular, you will be required to encode a sequence of words read from a source file into binary strings (using only the characters 0 and 1). It is important to note that text compression makes it possible to minimize the time needed to transmit text over a low-bandwidth channel, such as infrared connection. Moreover, text compression is helpful in storing large documents more efficiently. The coding scheme explored in this project is the Huffman Coding Scheme. While standard encoding schemes, such as Unicode and ASCII, use fixed-length binary strings to encode characters, Huffman coding assigns variable-length codes to characters. The length of a Huffman code depends on the relative frequency of its associated character. Specifically, Huffman coding capitalizes on the fact that some characters are used more frequently than others to use short codewords when encoding high-frequency characters and long codewords to encode low-frequency characters. Huffman coding saves space over state of the art fixed-length encoding and is therefore at the heart of file compression techniques in common use today. Figure 1 shows the relative frequencies of the letters of the alphabet as they appear in a representative sample of English documents.
Letter     Frequency     Letter     Frequency
A     77     N     67
B     17     O     67
C     32     P     20
D     42     Q     5
E     120     R     59
F     24     S     67
G     17     T     85
H     50     U     37
I     76     V     12
J     4     W     22
K     7     X     4
L     42     Y     22
M     24     Z     2

Huffman coding and decoding
Huffman’s algorithm for producing optimal variable-length codes is based on the construction of a binary tree T that represents the code. In other words, the Huffman code for each character is derived from a full binary tree known as the Huffman coding tree, or simply the Huffman tree. Each edge in the Huffman tree represents a bit in a codeword, with each edge connecting a node with its left child representing a “0” and each edge connecting a node with its right child representing a “1”. Each external node in the tree is associated with a specific character, and the Huffman code for a character is defined by the sequence of bits in the path from the root to the leaf corresponding to that character. Given codes for the characters, it is a simple matter to use these codes to encode a text message. You will have simply to replace each letter in the string with its binary code (a lookup table can be used for this purpose).
In this project, you are not going to use the table given in Figure 1 to determine the frequency of occurrence per character. Instead, you will derive the frequency corresponding to a character by counting the number of times that character appears in an input file. For example, if the input file contains the following line of text “a fast runner need never be afraid of the dark”, then the frequencies listed in the table given in Figure 2 should be used per character:
Character          a     b     d     e     f     H     i     k     n     O     r     s     t     u     v
Frequency     9     5     1     3     7     3     1     1     1     4     1     5     1     2     1     1
Figure 2. The frequency of each character of the String X.
Based on the frequencies shown in Figure 2, the Huffman tree depicted in Figure 3 can be constructed:
Figure 3. Huffman tree for String X.
The code for a character is thus obtained by tracing the path from the root of the Huffman tree to the external node where that character is stored, and associating a left edge with 0 and a right edge with 1. In the context of the considered example for instance, the code for “a” is 010, and the code for “f” is 1100.
Once the Huffman tree is constructed and the message obtained from the input file has been encoded, decoding the message is done by looking at the bits in the coded string from left to right until all characters are decoded. This can be done by using the Huffman tree in a reverse process from that used to generate the codes. Decoding the bit string begins at the root of the tree. Branches are taken depending on the bit value – left for ‘0’ and right for ‘1’ – until reaching a leaf node. This leaf contains the first character in the message. The next bit in the code is then processed from the root again to start the next character. The process is repeated until all the remaining characters are decoded. For example, to decode the string “0101100” in the case of the example under study, you begin at the root of the tree and take a left branch for the first bit which is ‘0’. Since the next bit is a ‘1’, you take a right branch. Then, you take a left branch (for the third bit ‘1’), arriving at the leaf node corresponding to the letter a. Thus, the first letter of the coded word is a. You then begin again at the root of the tree to process the fourth bit, which is a ‘1’. Taking 2 right branches then two left branches, you reach the leaf node corresponding to the letter f.
Problem statement
You are required to implement the Huffman coding/decoding algorithms. After you complete the implementation of the coding/decoding processes, you are asked to use the resulting Java code to:
1.     Read through a source file called “in1.dat” that contains the following paragraph:
“the Huffman coding algorithm views each of the d distinct characters of the string X as being in separate Huffman trees initially with each tree composed of a single leaf node these separate trees will eventually be joined into a single Huffman tree in each round the algorithm takes the two binary trees with the smallest frequencies and merges them into a single binary tree it repeats this process until only one tree is left.”
2.     Determine the actual frequencies for all the letters in the file.
3.     Use the frequencies from the previous step to create a Huffman coding tree before you assign codes to individual letters. Use the LinkedBinaryTree class that we developed in class to realize your Huffman coding trees.
4.     Produce an encoded version of the input file “in1.dat” and then store it in an output file called “out.dat”.
5.     Finally, the decoding algorithm will come into play to decipher the codes contained in “out.dat”. The resulting decoded message should be written to an output file called “in2.dat”. If nothing goes wrong, the text stored in “in1.dat” and the one in “in2.dat” must match up correctly.

I need to know best way to edit MXF files, with least rendering, is that converting the MXF or Log and Transfer? the end product is dvd, but I have lots and lots of these projects to do.

I am about to comence my Edit, and was told of Mpeg Streamclip, however this doesn't seem to work with my Canon XF305 Clips, the reason I was told to use it was so I wouldn't have to Render in Final Cut Pro all the time.. I do have the Canon Disc with the Plug in Utility and the update from their site.
Is it best to Convert these MXF files first and import them into FCP or use 'Log and Transfer', so far I am unable to do either!!
The projects on the timeline will have introduction .Movs already on it as a Template to re-use again and again with the new Footage ( MXF Files ) to be added and edited with transitions etc..This process is repeated again and again but with different MXF clips each time.
I am looking for the quickest and best way for workflow as there are 80 or more projects to do, each with 10 or so clips to be added to the timeline and Exported for DVD...Will I have to then Compress to fit onto DVD's??
I know Streamclip is an Mepeg 2 app but I thought the Canon XF305 Shot as mpeg2....
Is Log and Transfer my only Option?
Basically I need to know the quickest for Render purposes, and of course, the best way so the files aren't so huge etc etc.
Please, any suggestions would be greatly received....

We only work with PR422 files in FC7. We use Shane's workflow with all 5D & MXF footage.
Make your life easier and stick to the ProRes family for your footage and edit sequences. Avoid H264 & convert any you have to ProRes.
Unless you are considering Blu-Ray the only way to deliver video on a DVD is to convert it to SD.
Depending on the length of your show you can make a Blu-Ray in Compressor but you have very limited authoring options when compared to DVD Studio Pro.
Compressor can also convert your HD to SD mpg-2 & Ac3 files. The best results usually come from setting the frame controls in the mpg-2 setting of Compressor to best. Depending on the the length of the show and your Qmaster settings this can take quite a while.
I personally find Compressor's HD to SD DVD conversion varies. Sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes not so much. I prefer the following as it is usually is faster and very consistent.
Export a quicktime movie (not QT conversion) of your final sequence
Import the exported HD file back into FC.
Create a SD 16x9 sequence and then drop in the recently exported HD seq and render. Rendering the sequence basically has FC doing the HD to SD conversion. Export the SD sequence and then convert to mpg-2 & ac3 in Compressor. While this does take time I still find it faster than Compressor with Qmaster utilizing all cores.
Another option is using jobs in Compressor
http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
In this workflow you would have Compressor convert the HD file to SD and then through jobs convert the SD file to mpg2 & Ac3.
In theory the jobs version could be faster (based on a number of variables- length, Qmaster, etc) but I haven't had time to compare the two.

Can no longer open previous project files in the latest version of FCPX (10.1.1)

In the latest version of FCPX (10.1.1), you can no longer access/open projects from the button in the lower left corner. Clicking on that button now merely brings up an index of clips in the current project's timeline. Why is that? And how do I now access my project library? By the way, clicking File>Open Library does nothing.

You should learn about the changes introduced in 10.1, which are very significant and much for the better.
The most important is the introduction of Libraries.
There is no longer a "project browser". Libraries are the containers of your events and projects, and can be stored anywhere.
The older versions had two buttons - the one you mention was already there, and opens the "Timeline Index", like it already did. The "project browser" does not exist anymore, and therefore the respective button does not exist either.
I suggest you follow some great explanations about the new features here:

How to upload many Files in the table of Project Document (Solution Man) ?

I have generate some hundreed PDF-Files and I want to upload this PDF files in the table of Project Documentation in the Solution Manager.
In the Solution Manager is it only possible to upload this files single.
My intention is to write an abap program that upload all files automatically in this Project Documentation and assign this documents in the right project.
Which tables are used in this context ?
Where I can find the assignment between documents and projects in se16, in wich table ?
Is existing an introduction document to this topic, where i can get more information ?
Thank you in advance.

When accessing that array from a lot of locations simultanously you will get RACE CONDITIONS. Easily and fast…
Use a FGV aka AE instead to encapsulate your "data object"!
Another good option sounds like the Data Value Reference. Those work really well if you want to keep a reference to pass around to everybody.

Multiple Quizzes in a project with Branching

Hello,
I am creating a project with branching - based on some
criteria, a user will take a path that will not bring them back to
a common quiz at the end. Each path should have its own quiz in the
end. How do I make only one of the quizzes' results to be counted
on the LMS?
For example, the course is about a certain process and based
on my role, at some point I will choose a path that teaches me how
to do my part of the process. At the end, I will be asked questions
for my part only and I want to see the scores on the LMS only for
that one quiz.
Thank you!

Hi.
I'm very interested in the branch-awareness feature.
Here's my scenario (in a nutshell).
People are attending ONE event out of 4 in different geographic locations. A, B, C, D.
Each event has several sessions that are elective. People can go to any combination of sessions they'd like within those available at the event. Let's say sessions X, Y, Z for simplicity's sake.
Each session has a series of questions to test retention. Let's say questions *1, *2, *3 for now.
All in ONE quiz file.
1. Learners access the quiz and its introduction page.
2. Choose the first event, in this case event C.
3. Land on the event C landing slide that contain links to first questions of each session.
4. Select session Z.
5. Land on first question of event C, session Z.
6. Answer (submit) questions Z1, Z2, Z3 from that session CZ.
7. Go to the event C main menu (upon submitting the Z3 question and "continue"). This is an alternate event C menu that contains a slight modification: now a "Those were all the sessions I attended, take me to the quiz results page] + links to other sessions branches for event C.
8. Depending on the choice on step 7, learner chooses another session's series of questions OR is taken to the final quiz results page. Score is computed at an 80% passing score ONLY counting the questions that HAVE been answered, not all the other questions in sessions not attended.
Does this make sense? Will it work on Captivate 6 via branch-aware quizzing?
Thanks.

Changing the display name of project file folders for TOC

I'm interested in changing the display names of the project file folders for my TOC. For example, I want to name the folder "01-intro" so that it is short and lowercase. But I'd like the TOC to say "Introduction to the System." I know I can manually rename the folder in the TOC either through its properties or by right-clicking => Rename, but I auto-create the TOC occasionally and I don't want to have to rename every folder every single time.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set a persistent property for the folder so that its display name in the TOC is different? I am using RoboHelp 9. I saw an option called "Detail" in the properties of the WebHelp layout in RoboHelp 8 that seems like it may have done that, but I no longer see this property in RoboHelp 9.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I think the lack of response confirms that if you are going to use Auto Create, you have to accept the way it is.

Project of Jini Implementation in China.

Hi, everyone!
Let me introduce myself, first. I am now a student studying at
Beijing University of Post and Telecommunication(BUPT), Beijing,
Capital of China.
Then give a brief introduction of the project I am now participate in.
Recently our project leader arranged a task (implement an intelligent
network) to us. This network platform will said to be proposed to those
customer electronic companies in China. The main framework is OSGi.
And as for the OSI layer3~6, originally we want to use UPnP technology.
(The programming langague based has been decided to be Java.)
But quite recently, we have learned that UPnP mainly relies on IP protocol,
so if we want to connect IP net with non-IP net using UPnP, a bridge is needed.
Then we start to think about the availability of Jini. Though having gone
through with specifications of Jini, we still have some questions as follows:
(If the answers are simply in some references, just give me a link to save your time.^^)
1. Can network implemented with Jini connect IP net and non-IP net together? (How?)
If the answer is "yes", then how do components in a non-IP network implemented
with Jini communicate with each other? And what are the protocols used in
communication of this kind?
2. This question is related to the price to realize this network. Two reasons why
we are not content with UPnP is that you have to use a bridge to connect IP & non-IP
networks, and that you have to use SCP technology to control non-IP network.
Both add expense to realize the network. However, if we use Jini, is it expensive
as well? We know that in Jini network, a server is a must. Is the realization of
adding a server to the network expensive? Plus, chipset on which Java VM runs
is another cost. Is the price of adding chipsets to the clients and
the devices (which provide services to clients) very high?
3. Because we want to our project to be a success, we extremely care the future of
Jini. This care became deeper when I saw, in a Chinese developer forum, a question
("Is Jini dying?") yesterday. When I went to SUN developer forum, I found that
the Jini forum is not active (readable only). Few companies claim to add Jini to
their products. So my last question is "What do you experts forsee the future of Jini?
Does Jini still have a rosy promise?"
Thank you for wasting your time to read this post!
And thank you very much if you can express your thinking here!
Your, Josh Zhu, BUPT.

Hi Uryikin,
Thanks for your response.
Standard Retractor does not satisfy the Business requirement in full.
The RFC connection you have suggested is what we are implementing through RSPLAN function Type creation.
In the RSPLAN we are implementing a Class which will fetch the Data from the Infoobject.
This infoobject will be fed from the target Infocube. After this Class getting populated Mapping will be done b/w BI source fields and the R/3 source fields.
Now the problem arise when a Function Module needs to be created that will actually bring the data to R/3 side.
The server where Data Load function Module is to written is still unknown to me..
The Function Module Return type is also unknown...
As this is totally customised we have to identify the return type for submission of Blueprint...
Kindly refer to this link we are implementing this same steps only on different scenario...

Looking for a "Super Project" feature

First, you will have to excuse me if this is the wrong forum for this. I just couldn't find any specific forum for Java project-build/management.
Now, I'm looking for some sort of a feature/ability/plug-in, especially for Eclipse, which resembles this:
Super projects - a combination of several projects under the same organizational structure. It doesn't refer to a new technology, nor a new feature of Java. It only refer to a way of organizing your projects.
A reason to have such thing, in case you were wondering, is to standardize the use of certain projects, all closely-related (technically and logically) to a certain system, but aren't related enough to exist in the same project.
For an example, let's say we have a certain system. It has a main project, which is the core of the system. Then, we have another project, which allows monitoring our system. It isn't a project that could be under the core-project, as it has too many differences (both technical and logical), but it uses lots of the same libraries, abilities and external resources the core-project uses as well (for example, a jar which allows a more comfortable use of JDBC, or just a configuration file), and of course still logically related to the core-project.
Therefore, those two projects, the core and the monitor, should be under the same super project - sharing libraries, abilities and external resources.
So how should it look like? Well, here are several ideas:
- First of all, a certain way to view those projects as being under the same super-project.
- An option (and warning-display if possible) of sharing jars. Instead of linking a certain jar to each project separately, a jar will be defined as shared, and could be shared by some or all of the projects in the super-project.
- Same thing with any other file (such as resource files).
- A meta-data file, containing information of which projects are in the super-project, what jars (or any other file) are being used, and what's the version of each of those jars.
- Comfortable save/load of those projects together, and their shared files (nothing more then a super directory with "Projects" directory for the projects in the super project, and a "Shared" directory for all the shared jars and other files).
I'll repeat myself - I'm not talking about a new technology, but just a feature, or a plug-in.
So, are you familiar of anything resembling that? or something at least in production stage?

Well, I didn't figured how the idea of a super-project, or several combined projects works with Maven. I guess it's because this tool is filled with many options, and there's no good documentation that I've found which simply explains what's every thing is (or maybe I'm just dumb).Having just recently taken the dive into real development with Maven recently (I've been dabbling before), I too have the feeling that the documentation (especially for the rough overview and getting-into-it) is somehow lacking, in many areas. The documentation is much better suited for finding specific information when you already know what exactly you want it Maven to do.
That being said: I strongly suggest you invest the time to get over that first hurdle, because in my opinion it's definitely worth it.
Anyway, it seems I'm looking for something more simple and straightforward.Out of curiosity: If it should be simple and straightforward, what artifacts would you expect such a product/technology to produce? What would you use it for?
Maven uses that big pile of metadata about your project for building your project from source, managing your dependencies, deploying your artifacts to a defined repository, running your tests and many other things as well.
Having something "simple and straightforward" would almost seem like a waste of effort, because with that kind of meta-data you can do much bigger things.
Edit: I just remembered [Apache Ivy|http://ant.apache.org/ivy/]: it's a dependency-management task for ant. This means that it handles the same task of a (very small) subset of Maven, but it a lot simpler to use (if you already know and use ant). It doesn't do any sub-projects or anything like that, but might be a more gentle introduction into the world of post-ant build/project/configuration management.

Can CF8 be fit for my project?

Hello everyone,
I am getting started to learn ColdFusion8(CF8). I can't
decide whether CF8 is appropriate for my project, so I am eager to
hear your advice.
Firstly, I'd like to give a brief introduction to the
project. It is a video blog website and every registered user can
deliver his flash video and a story to the server. It must support
3,000 people to visit the site at the same time.
Secondly, my approach for designing this site is to make the
application server creating static HTML pages according to a
predefined template when registered users' contents(flash videos
and stories) come to the server. The name of a static HTML file is
formed by the user's name and generating date which can ensure that
the name differ from each other. What write to the database are
these names of files and users' information, rather than the
contents themselves, which will save the time when users upload the
contents and when visitors request the pages because during those
processes, no additional database writing and reading associated
with the contents are needed and the main purpose of the database
is to locate the specific page requested by visitors. The static
HTML file contains flash video that makes the size of the file
large and a lot of people might access this website simultaneously,
so I want the application server to compress the page for
transmitting it to the visitors when they request a certain page.
Thirdly, based on these information above, I hope CF8 can
1) easily generate static HTML files.
2) allow high concurrent visiting in the Internet
environment.
3) compress HTML pages to visitors.
Can CF8 do all the work?
I also have some basic questions about CF8,
1. Is Dreamweaver8 the common editor for CF8?
2. Does CF8 contain JRun?
3. Is the application written by CF8 easy to deploy in JRun?
I mean if I have to thoroughly master JRun to do this?
Thank you in advance!

Yes
Is Dreamweaver8 the common editor for CF8?
It is a good CF editor. However, it busies itself with many
things besides editing. Other commonly used editors are Homesite
and CFEclipse. I would strongly recommend CFEclipse.
Does CF8 contain JRun?
Yes.
Is the application written by CF8 easy to deploy in JRun?
Yes. That happens automatically behind the scenes. You don't
have to intervene.
I mean if I have to thoroughly master JRun to do this?
No. You need no knowledge of Jrun to use CF8.
