How can I get width that multiple selected items?

How can I get width that multiple selected items? (Not grouped.)
//---------- source code ----------
var mm = 2.83464566929134 //unit conversion. (point->milimeter)
var W = docRef.selection[0].width/mm;
alert(W);
//---------- source code ----------

That's right Carlos
@kimDino8,
my script in Carlos link creates a green rectangle around the selected items. If you don't need this rectangle than you can remove this lines:
var newRGBColor = new RGBColor();
newRGBColor.red = 0;
newRGBColor.green = 255;
newRGBColor.blue = 0;
and replace this:
var aRectangle = aDoc.pathItems.rectangle(vBounds_Ob, vBounds_Li, vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li, vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un);
aRectangle.strokeColor = newRGBColor;
aRectangle.strokeWidth= 2;
aRectangle.filled = false;
aRectangle.stroked = true;
aDoc.selection = null;
with this:
var mmFactor = 2.83464567;
alert("width = "+ (vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li)/mmFactor);
alert("height = "+ (vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un)/mmFactor);
Further you only have to do: create a function for rounding of the result.

Can't apply keyword to multiple images

Though the help file says you can, when I select multiple photos and then click on a keyword, it only applies the keyword to one of the photos. Same thing if I click the checkmark next to the keyword. It does apply to all selected photos if I drag the images to the keyword, but why doesn't it work when I just click the keyword?
Thanks

Two things, you have to be in Grid View, not Filmstrip Selection and not have Menu/Metadata/'Show Metadata for Target Photo Only' checked. I and others have gotten bitten by this, too.

Can't remove keywords from multiple files

I can't believe I can't get this working.
Say I have 15 images with the same 10 keywords in every file. One of the keywords is "banana" and I want to remove it from all 15 files.
I select all the 15 files. When I do that one becomes "active" (it gets lighter gray highlight than the 14 other images).
I then go to the Keywording panel and manually remove "banana" from the list.
When I look through files to see the change all but the one that was active STILL has the "banana" keyword applied.
I have also tried selecting the 15 files and made the file without the banana keyword active and run "Sync Metadata" and removed "banana" from the "Keywords" field in the dialog box. Same thing happens. No change to the files that aren't active.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Unicorn

Simple. Don't take photos of bananas!
Actually, I believe you need to select the photos in the Grid, not in the filmstrip. Then, removing keywords should work as expected, and then when you try to remove the keyword, this keyword will be removed from all selected photos.

Adding keyword to multiple selections deselects them - very annoying bug

When I have more than one image selected in order to add keywords to them, as soon as I add one keyword they all get deselected and I have to select them all over again. Why does this happen? Is it a bug? It is REALLY annoying.

Max:
I assume you're using the Info/Keyword pane to add the keywords, right? When you're done adding the if you click on one of the selected files you can return to the library window and still have all of the selected photos remain selected. At least that's how it works for me.
If you're doing it a different way please describe exactly how you're going about it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Aperture apply keywords to multiple selections

I cannot apply a keyword to more than one image at a time.
I select multiple images and drag a keyword to one of the images expecting it to be applied to all of them (as it has in the past) but it only gets applied to one.
Did I set something to prevent multiple updates?
Thanks
Harv

Here's how I do it.
Goto Window Menu, then Show Control Bar.
Again Window Menu, then Show Keyword Controls.
This places a set of buttons along the bottom control bar with the keywords I set up in the keyword HUD. It has a pull-down menu within it to select different groups of keywords depending again on how you set it up. Select multiple images, call up the grouping you need and click the buttons. All the images get keyworded.
Hope this helps.

Adding/Deleting keywords for multiple images

Well, I'm finally paying the price for bad keyword management and I'm trying to clean up my nightmare of a system now but running into trouble.
I'm using Lightroom 3.2.
My workflow follows one of two types:
1) I'm shooting something specific (soccer games) and I import the shots and immediately assign the appropriate keywords (soccer, which kid it is, which tournament it is)
2) I've taken shots of multiple events/subjects and I haven't had time to download and organize. I will then import with a 'file later' tag so I can easily search and keyword them later and then re-use the card.
Well 'file later' is now about 3000 images! Doh!
I'm going through and properly assigning them but I'm having a lot of trouble with what I *think* should work in Lightroom.
There are several things here:
First, if I choose the 'File Later' keyword, it will pull up the metadata filters options on the top of the grid view. No matter what I do, I can't make it go away. If I do get it to go away, I wind up viewing ALL my pictures which is not what I want.
Second, if I choose multiple pictures by ctrl-clicking or shift-clicking, It appears I can assign a keyword to multiple shots. I cannot REMOVE a keyword from multiple shots. Lightroom seems to only want to remove the keyword from one picture at a time even if they are all selected.
Third, the painter tool does not work...at all. Enabling it and then selecting and applying or removing does nothing.
So, what am I looking for here?
Organizing for these should be pretty easy since most are in blocks and I can apply the same keywords quickly. However, removing the keywords one at a time is a huge pain.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

First, if I choose the 'File Later' keyword, it will pull up the metadata filters options on the top of the grid view. No matter what I do, I can't make it go away. If I do get it to go away, I wind up viewing ALL my pictures which is not what I want.
This is the filter dialog - of course if you close it you turn back to All Photographs. Try creating a Smart Collection based on your File Later keyword - this collection will automatically populate all your images that have that particular keyword. Once you have keyworded the pictures from e.g. one particular shot, just remove the File Later-KW and those images will disappear from the collection.
Second, if I choose multiple pictures by ctrl-clicking or shift-clicking, It appears I can assign a keyword to multiple shots. I cannot REMOVE a keyword from multiple shots. Lightroom seems to only want to remove the keyword from one picture at a time even if they are all selected.
I'm not sure why you can't remove keywords from multiple images - it just works fine here by selecting multiple images and delete the keyword.
Most of the times I use the Keyword List to assign/delete keywords because in my opinion it is the easiest way - I just browse thru my list or filter for a particular kw and tick the box on the left.
Creating a hierarchical keyword list can further simplify your work. For example the location: organize the final keyword xyz-Soccer Stadium into other keywords like Town>County>State>Country>Continent>Places, then you only have to tick the last keyword xyz-Soccer Stadium and with that assign all of those keywords in the hierarchy (I know thats kind of a complicated explanation...but I suggest you play around a bit and then you will get the full picture ).

Assign Keyword to multiple images

The book which comes with the Aperture3 software says that you can assign a keyword to multiple images without having to assign it individually to each image. Using the keyword HUD I cannot get it to assign a keyword to all images in a stack or images which have been group selected. Also I have looked at the manual on line and it says one can do this. How do they do it using the split view browser and stacks or grouping?

Interesting. I just tried it again, on Aperture Version 3.0.3 running on a 2008 MacBook Pro and OS 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard). I stacked two masters then selected both within the stack, both appeared in the viewer window. I dragged a keyword from the Keyword Hud over one of the pictures in the viewer window. When the photo border changed to green, I let go of the mouse button and Aperture applied the keyword to both masters. Next I selected one photo, then made an adjustment which created a stack of the master and the version. I repeated the procedure and Aperture applied the keyword to both the version and the master.
OH! Do you have "stack picks only" checked in the Photo Filter? That would prevent the keyword from being applied to the lower photos in the stacks.
By the way, the photos don't have to be stacked to apply keywords, other effects, to multiples. They merely have to be selected.

Adding same keywords to multiple images

How can I add keywords, or change keywords, to multiple selected images at the same time instead of having to do it one at a time? Or can I? I know how to change or add to metadata on multiple images, but it won't retain the keywording changes on all the images.

Be sure you are selecting multiple images in the GRID mode in the Library panel not the FILMSTRIP mode. Then if you add a keyword to multiple images it will actually stick. You can also delete keywords from those selected images.

Add multiple selection screen

Hi!
I've set up an initial screen (selection screen) in my dynpro-program, with company code (BUKRS) as input field. This screen has been developed using the Screen Painter and is of the screen type 'Normal'.
I have managed to add a search help to the input field, but how can I <b>add a multiple selection screen</b> to it?

Create a custom multiple selection on screen - not selection-screen block

Dear expert,
I created a text field on screen for input selection, e.g field bname for USR02-BNAME. How can i create a CUSTOMIZE multiple selection plus a paste (from clipboard) feature on this screen (e.g. SCREEN 0002) like standard selection-screen from SAP when we create a report.
For a better view on what i want:
This text field already use F4 customize search help. I need a multiple selection lines (like standard selection-screen a button on the right side of select-options field).
Remember, i don't create textfield from select-options parameter (e.q. SELECT-OPTIONS : XBNAME FOR USR02-BNAME),
but on a screen.
Anyone can help my case?.
Thanks and Warm regards,
Dondi.

Had the same question from my users. This was the first hit i found but unfortunately without an answer. So for those with the same question, this is how i solved it (goede voornemen voor 2014). In my case the request is a complex selection on the LFA1 table.
The screen contains two fields to enter the low/high value for lifnr (zdy_droogteschade-lifnr and zdy_droogteschade-lifnr_tot)
Created a button on the screen, mark this as output only, when pressed the routine multi_select_crediteuren is performed wich uses the fm 'COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG'.
To top it all of, the icon on the button changes depending on the contains of the range table (in a routine called from the PBO).
This only works when the button is marked as 'output only',
Include the icon type pool: 'type-pools: icon.'

Multiple selection with wildcard in WAD

Hello,
How can I do filtering with multiple selection with wildcard in WAD 7 ?
We have this problem in two seperate situation. The first is in the parameter screen where we want to filer the output with two wildcard. The first one we can put on the field and then go to the selection screen but what about the other ????. The second situation is in the report when we want to filter one of the columns with wildcard.
I will appreciate if someone will open my eyes about this.
Ilan

Hello,
you can use the * for wildcards in the BEx Web.
For example 37* -> 370000 up to 379999.

[SOLVED]Long delay opening files if multiple selection in file chooser

neok wrote:
Hi,
When I try to open several files in an application, (example: Gimp), by multiple selection in the 'open' filechooser, there is a long delay (about 1 sec per file) before the Gimp starts opening image files. During this delay, the disk access LED flashes continuously and iotop indicates that its jbd2 accessing (writing) on the / partition on my SSD drive. This is despite the fact that the image files are on an external USB hard disk and the Gimp would have no reason to write anything on the / partition. Even if it did, the image files are small (50-100 kb) and such a long delay would be out of place.
The significant thing is that the delay occurs _before_ the Gimp starts opening files. It seems the delay is in the filechooser making a list of the files to be opened. Once the Gimp starts opening files, it finishes quickly.
This sort of thing happens with other apps that can open several files by multiple selection in a filechooser.
Any hints please? I am lost here :-(
The delay is caused by (apparently) GTK which writes to the ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel file, to record all the files that are opened in the multiple selction. Even so, this writing seems too slow, even when opening a large number of files (the ones that I open by multiple selection, by an app that I am working on, are about 10k each, so opening a few hundred should not take the delay I see, about 30 sec).
Anyhow, I patched the problem eventually by chattr +i ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel to stop the writing. But I would prefer to disable the use of this file by configurtion rather than brute force, if there is such a choice.

I re-installed and reconfigured Arch so that I now have a fresh, uptodate system. In the process, I found that this problem occurs when I run the Gimp as a normal user. If I run it under sudo, all is well. I am strggling to find out why, but no results so far (have checked file permissions where I thought there may be a problem, but no joy).
Any hints much appreciated.

Multiple selection of data using ITS URL?

Hi,
Is it possible to transfer mass data Via the URL. For eg for the transaction iW48 i want to multiple order nos (that are not in sequence). in R/3 i can do this by the multiple selection of order option and then specifying the Single values. Is there a possible solution where i can do the same by calling the ITS URL?
Any pointers in this regard would be of great help.

Hi Raja,
Yes indeed i am using a transaction iView with SAPGUI for HTMl. And it is using the an integrated ITS.
I am able to pass a range of values but being able to pass multiple values is the requirement.
Anyways Thanks a lot for your help.
And since you seem to know quiet a lot about the ITS (I did read you Web-blog as well) i was wondering if you could help me with another problem that i am facing...:)
Can you please go through the following Question as well. It is the same scenario. I have a WD application that calls TA and i need to open a particular tab and process that tab with the values that have been passed. This is the link to the thread
ITS url to process a particular tab of R/3 transaction
Please take the time to go through this and help me if you can.
Thanks and Rgds
