Can this be done with LR4 and Drobo FS?

When I import pictures on my MacBook Pro running Lion OS at home into LR4, I set it up to backup onto my Drobo FS which is a NAS device wirelessly via my home network.
Not being computer saavy at all, can I set up both my Drobo and configure LR4 on my MBP so when I am on vacation with the laptop, I can back up my vacation pics directly to the Drobo rather than carrying an additional external back up drive?
I've heard about Drobo apps, specifically Pure ftd, downloaded it and looked at the documentation but it might as well be written in Martian. Is this the way to go or is there another software program? I think pure ftd enables one to access your device, in this case, the Drobo, via the Internet. As I don't know anything about programming, I am completely lost when reading various forum threads about the set up.

Yes, that is exactly the problem with all cloud services for photo backup: how much volume do you shoot per day? What is the upload bandwidth you may count on?
I dropped any such notion, because with a daily volume of 3-6GB raw images all the hours of the night would not be sufficient to upload this via the usual ADSL-lines in Europe.
Directly within LR you can use any setup that you can select in the import dialog as storage destination for "make a second copy to".
E.g. If you can map your drobo as a drive.
If not, you could still use the ftp-mechanism to trigger the upload outside LR, after copying the images from your camera card.
But as said, all depending if your volume will make the upload during the time available at your bandwidth.

Can this be done with Drag and Drop?

I have a tile list with jpeg thumbnails of illustrator files.
When clicked they are downloaded and opened.
Is it possible for me to implement a situation where the user can drag the jpeg to adobe illustrator, and the file will download and open.
Basically the same operations as clicking on the image.
Any help is appreciated

Can this be done with extendScript and ScriptUI ...

Is there a way to programmatically stop execution of a script so that a user could make edits to a PSD then resume execution of the script at the point the script was halted?

I’m not totally sure, but I suspect what you have in mind is not practicable.
Why not just split the Script in two?
It should certainly be possible to insert a confirm-dialog in a Script and have the Script continue only on confirm and stop on cancel.
The Scripts could store the information that the Script has been cancelled in a txt-file and have it elaluate the txt-file and only run a certain part depending on that, but it seems cumbersome.
What exactly is this about?

If you want to record a Webinar, you will probably need screen capture software. Every recent Mac comes with QuickTime Player X, which will do this. Just click FIle/New Screen Recording. Then click on the red button to start recording.

You're welcome.
Have you never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer to transfer music and any other iTunes content from your iTunes library on your computer, or to transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone, etc.?
What I'm referring to is your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer, not any setting on your iPhone.

Develop streaming data processing applications in C# with Stream Computing Platform and Storm in HDInsight. Can this be done with Visual Studio Community sign up?

Hello,
I am a student and love the Visual Studio Community 2013 to implement some of my research projects. I am currently working on a project that involves streaming data analysis. I found this article ( http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-hadoop-storm-scpdotnet-csharp-develop-streaming-data-processing-application/
) but do not have MSDN subscription (I cannot afford it) as required in the article. Can this be done somehow with Visual Studio Community 2013 sign up?
Thank you all in advance for your time and for your help.
J.K.W

Hi,
I just confirmed that the key with Visual Studio Community is that, although it is free like Express, it does not have the limitations that Visual Studio Express had. So, to answer your question, Yes - you can do all your development work as a student with
VS Community 2013 sign up. You can also refer to this blog for more details -

Can this be done with css rollovers?

Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I understand the basics of css rollovers where you change the background image position up or down but the text used will still end up being a common font that will suit every pc. What I'd like to do is use an uncommon font in my navigation bar. I made an image in photoshop that had two versions of a word like home for example one on top of the other like you would for a css rollover but once I created a link I had the link color border around the image, so it didn't work. Here is a link to a website that is similar to what I'm trying to do http://www.inksmithtattoo.com/. Look at the navigation, can this be done using css rollovers? If not how do you think it was done? Is there a way to use uncommon fonts in a navigation bar? I even did some research on using Dreamweavers hotspot function but found that there were issues in using it for navigation. I'm getting pretty familar with Dreamweaver but I'm not that good at coding so if anyone does have any ideas please include some keywords that I can google and read more about what your trying to say, links to the info would be even better but I realize that if your as busy as I am you can't take that kind of time.
Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you to all, dluthier

That site is using images only. It is not a text based link:
here is the css they are using:
#navAbout a {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:transparent url(../_img/navAbout-Home.gif) no-repeat scroll 0 0;
left:473px;
top:318px;
As you can see it is an image only. See the attachment with this post. Also since it is a background image it won't show up if you right click on the so seemed text
Please install firebug or webdeveloper plugin if on Firefox and you will be able to inspect the elements and know what exactly they are.
Hope it helps

Bookmarking video: Can this be done with QT server?

I am considering a hosting service that has QT streaming.
I'd like a capability similar to DVD chapters for my on-line video, with links in the description under the video that will go to a specific time code or bookmark on my video.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Cris

I did look up the LiveStage web site to see what that is all about. The example sites were all VR, panoramic, displays all of which is very impressive but not what I need. I couldn;t get your movie to display properly, so I didn't see what is supposed to do. I do thank you for pointing me toward something I hadn't seen before which is totally cool.
Many quicktime movies I have found on the web which claim to be streaming are really progressive download. I can't position the cursor ahead of what has already downloaded. Those that actually do stream and buffer well will allow me to jump about anywhere on the time line.
When I drag and click or simple click somewhere on time line using the controls of the Quicktime browser plug-in, the movie will buffer and start playing at the chosen location.
Obviously, there is communication with the server. I just want more control over than communication. I'd like to be able to send a command to the server telling it to go to a particular frame or time code and start buffering and then playing from that specified time.
It seems so obvious. I can't believe that there isn't a script to do this.
There are Apple Scripts that control navigation in Quicktime Player, scecifically "Move to X in front movie" Apple Script. It works with Quicktime Player on files stored on my computer.

You mean using data from the server? Flash, and Flex, run
client side, but
can pull data from a server - and make a graph. I don't know
Flex, but it
wouldn't be too hard in Flash. AS3 is better for outputting
as a JPEG, but
it can be done in AS2 as well.
There are many tutorials for loading data into Flash, just
Google things
like 'Flash XML' or 'Flash Database'. I'd also recommend
looking at AMFPHP

alternative to Flash remoting that makes calling
server-side functions, and passing data, a snap.

Can this be done with a view ?

I want to create a view which contains data from many table.
The tables are arranged as such :
1 parent table and 5 child tables.
Each child tables contains a foreign key which equals a primary key of the parent table.
Theoriticly there is a limit of 9 entries in a child table for each entry in the parent table.
Is this possible to have a view which contains 9 fields for each of the 5 child tables, fields which will either by empty/null in the view or contain data from the parent table if not ?
I know this is really a mess and not a great thing to do at all. But I must interface with a third party COM objects which expects to find a table or view with these specifications, which leaves me 2 choices :
1- create such a view, if it can be done ( I don't see how it can be done right now )
2- Change my database so I have a table which has 9 times 5 fields most of which will be empty ( yuck ! )

If I understand correctly, you have
MIX
mix_id
other_columns
and a bunch od constituent tables something like:
mix_id,
type,
dosage.
Assuming that the type column in constituent maps to one of the columns you want to create in your view, then something like:
SELECT m.id, m.other_columns, c.c1d1, c.c1d2. c.c1d3, c.c2d1, c.c2d2. c.c2d3,
       c.c3d1, c.c3d2. c.c3d3
FROM mix m,
     (SELECT id, MAX(c1d1) c1d1, MAX(c1d2) c1d2, MAX(c1d3) c1d3,
             MAX(c2d1) c2d1, MAX(c2d2) c2d2, MAX(c2d3) c2d3,
             MAX(c3d1) c3d1, MAX(c3d2) c3d2, MAX(c3d3) c3d3
      FROM (SELECT id, DECODE(const_type,'t1',dosage,NULL) c1d1,
                   DECODE(const_type,'t2',dosage, NULL) c1d2,
                   DECODE(const_type,'t3',dosage,NULL) c1d3,
                   NULL c2d1, NULL c2d2, NULL c2d3,
                   NULL c3d1, NULL c3d2, NULL c3d3
            FROM constituent1
            UNION ALL
            SELECT id, NULL, NULL, NULL,
                   DECODE(const_type,'t1',dosage,NULL),
                   DECODE(const_type,'t2',dosage, NULL),
                   DECODE(const_type,'t3',dosage,NULL),
                   NULL, NULL, NULL
            FROM constituent2
            UNION ALL
            SELECT id, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
                   DECODE(const_type,'t1',dosage,NULL),
                   DECODE(const_type,'t2',dosage, NULL),
                   DECODE(const_type,'t3',dosage,NULL),
            FROM constituent3)
      GROUP BY id) c
WHERE m.id = c.idshould be close to what you need. If you will always be querying the view for a specific mix_id (or maybe only a few), then an alternative might be:
SELECT id, other_columns,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent1 WHERE type = 't1' and id = m.id) c1d1,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent1 WHERE type = 't2' and id = m.id) c1d2,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent1 WHERE type = 't3' and id = m.id) c1d3,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent2 WHERE type = 't1' and id = m.id) c2d1,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent2 WHERE type = 't2' and id = m.id) c2d2,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent2 WHERE type = 't3' and id = m.id) c2d3,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent3 WHERE type = 't1' and id = m.id) c3d1,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent3 WHERE type = 't2' and id = m.id) c3d2,
       (SELECT dosage FROM constituent3 WHERE type = 't3' and id = m.id) c3d3,
FROM mix mIf you will generally be selecting all rows out of the view, then this will likely be very slow if mix is large, since each of the column queries wil be executed once for every row in mix.

Can This Be Done With Adobe Air?

Mourning,
I would like to create a desktop application with Adobe Air for the following purpose:
http://templatic.com/demos/realestate/?page=property_submit
That template requires its' users to post properties via that link.
Instead of going to the link to post a property is it possible to create an Adobe Air application that can have the same results?
Any ideas??
