Changing file classification after importing

I've got loads of CDs that contain spoken word and radio plays. When I imported them, the contents were automatically classified as individual songs and put in my Music library. Any way to have them reclassified as Audiobooks?
I'd also like to have iTunes simply play them from the start to finish rather than have to tinker with shuffle and gapless playback settings; any way to tell iTunes to automatically treat a group of individual files as a single continuous file, without having to manually glue them together in Garageband etc?
Finally, I subscribe to a number of video podcasts. Some episodes take the form of short videos that form part of a continuous story; others are 'speacials' that have no place to the central plot. I want to catalog these podcasts so I can have the ongoing plot as a TV series and the specials as Movies.
(I'm a bit of an OCD organiser and already make extensive use of playlists, smart playlists and folders; they're not really proving to be a helpful substitute for correct classification, especially where iPod syncing is concerned.)

Handy, but a less than ideal solution when a CD contains more than one episode
Plus they've already all been uploaded and the CDs put in a case in the loft, I'd rather be doing something with the files already on my HD.

Changing default route after import route-target

Hi there,
Before I import route-target, the default route is set to 192.168.0.22 . After import the vrf, suddently it change to another PE, which is 192.168.0.19 . How do I force the default route to use 192.168.0.22 ?

Maher,
Here's an example:
router bgp xx
address-family vpnv4
nei x.x.x.x route-map localpref in
ip extcommunity 1 permit rt 4000:1
route-map localpref permit 10
match extcommunity 1
set local-preference 110
route-map localpref permit 20
BTW: if the route with RT 4000:1 had a different RD both routes would get imported in the VRF and you could set the local-pref using an import map instead of an inbound route-map on the VPNv4 session.
Hope this helps,

Change Status only after Import a Document.

Hello Dears,
Someone knows how I can lock the user status to change only after import a document in the support message?

Huge file size after importing

I have a shell (6 slides) used to jump out to windows media
files. I imported only two slides from another project with text
objects only and now the file size jumped from 977k to over 10 Meg.
How on earth is this possible? basically powerpoint slides. NO
video. NO audio.
Plus, when I look at the project size in storyboard view
within Cap, it says the project is 1,234k. But when I look at it in
windows explorer it definitley says 10,333k. Why are the file sizes
inconsistent?
Thoughts, suggestions and good guesses are appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim

Jim,
I've never paid much attention over the years to the
Storyboard view Information panel, so I'm not entirely sure what
that "Size" value is referring to. I just opened one of my existing
projects and see "684.0KB," which is alot closer to the published
SWF size (569KB) than the project's source file (4,172KB).
When you say you see "10,333K" in Explorer, I assume you're
talking about the project source file. Since you said that you
don't have audio or video, then you must have only a short sequence
of slides containing background images imported from PowerPoint.
The dimensions of the PowerPoint presentation (the resolution of
the images) and their color depth will impact the size of the
images when imported into Captivate.
Could it be that the PowerPoint project contained some rather
large images to begin with?
That said, do you know already that Captivate 2 has a very
significant bug that causes the CP file size to grow dramatically
as you import/edit/re-edit your project? You didn't mention how
extensively you may have already edited your project, so I thought
I'd bring that up.
Another thing to consider would be whether your project's
library has lots of unused objects in it -- maybe images that came
in with the PowerPoint project but that you're not really using in
your slides. Cleaning out the library and saving the project will
net you a little savings.

Reducing song file size AFTER importing

I now realize that I should have used the iTunes preferences to set the import file type and the quality setting BEFORE importing songs. However, I now have over 170 songs in my iTunes library, and I would like to be able to reduce the file sizes for those songs. I will change the iTunes settings before importing any more songs, but I would like to be able to reduce the sizes of those files that I have already imported. Some of them are as large as 6 MB, while most of them are around 3 MB. Both are too big. Is there any way to take care of this problem? I am particularly concerned about those songs that I imported from the iTunes store after paying for them. Songs that I imported from my CDs can be done over, but I don't want lose the money that I have invested on those songs that I bought from iTunes.

Your answer reverses the usual order: it starts out with the bad news but then finishes with the good news...I think. I guess you're saying that nothing can be done with the songs I have purchased from iTunes. With them, I'm stuck with 3 MB for the usual 3-minute song. Well, so much for iTunes, then. I'll certainly never buy any more songs from them. That IS bad news. On the other hand, I think you're saying that I CAN convert songs I obtain from my CDs to smaller bundles. I used to do that quite routinely when I was in OS 9, but I'm not sure of how to do it now that I'm using OS 10.3.9. I hope it's not much more difficult, but I'll just have to see. Anyway, thanks for the information. Now I have to study OS 10 and the latest version of iTunes.

DVD Studio Pro changes file sizes on import

I am trying to burn an SD DVD of a 1.62 Gb Quicktime video, but every time I import it the file size changes to 611 mb. and the resulting disc has very poor resolution In the "Assets" list it indicates the file size is 1.62 Gb., but if I click on it and open Inspector the same file is listed as 611 mb., as does the Disc Meter after I move it to the timeline. Encoding preferences are set to 2-pass VBR, Target rate 6.5, Max rate 7.7 Mbps. On deadline, please help.

Take your movie into compressor and use the DVD presets to make an .m2v and an .ac3. Bring these files into DVDSP to create your DVD with.

File names after importing word document

I'm creating webhelp by importing word document. My help is in two languages and yes i have two word documents. To keep the html filenames same for every same topic in english and arabic. I change the file names. Now i want save this setting for the project so while importing the documents again I should be able to reuse this changing filenames. So that it can be life saver for me by not repeating to change the filenames again.

Thinking about this some more, I don't think the feature will do what you want. The filename and any formula will work according to how you paginate and will create a filename based on the heading. That will, I assume, differ from language to language.
The only thing I can think of experimenting with is to have the headings in language one in all documents with the other language being below but not as a heading. Post import you could amend the Topic Title and Topic Heading but leave the filename. It's klunky but the best I can think of right now.

Changing track order after importing

I am trying to import opera CDs into my iTunes library. Operas usually take up 2 or 3 CDs, and when I try to upload the multiple CDs to my library, iTunes mixes up the order of the tracks so that I can't listen to the opera in order. How do I change the order of the tracks in the iTunes library so that I can listen to the opera in order?

Try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album by year column. If you like you can then click on Artist, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Track Number>Album>Artist. Make sure the little triangle on the right side of the track number column header is pointing up. In that direction the column is sorted in Ascending order (lowest to highest).

Why are files larger after importing? idvd 08.

why when i import a 2.38gb file does it say 4.92gb and its too large for project? any answers are greatly appreciated. thank you.

Material on a DVD must be in a standard format, and video's format is mpeg-2. It sounds like you must have a video in a very compressed format and so iDVD has to uncompress it and change formats (transcoding).
Really though, what matters is length. iDVD can fit up to 1 hour of material at highest resolution (best performance setting in preferences) and up to 2 hrs maximum (best quality setting). Or you can use the Pro setting, and it will take a bit longer to encode/burn, but the quality should be similar to Best Performance.

Find source import file name after imports

Hi! We usually import data via Import Manager rather than using MDIS. Now, if I want to verify the file that I have used for the import, where can I find the information? I couldn't see any of these in the Report and Logs in the MDM Console.
Appreciate any help on this.
Cheers!
SF

Hi Ravi,
This is also an alternative way of doing this if your MDIS services are not running. But Port Concept ideally should be used with MDIS, when you have created and saved Map in Port of MDM console. Is any other Privileges do we get if we do this import using MDM Import manager manually when it can be done automatically using (MDIS) as soon as there is file in MDM Inbound Ready folder. Rightly said by you , yes you can place file in Ready folder through Scripting or PI etc.
@ SF, As per my understanding i agree you can monitor the files using Type =Port during Import Manager but i don't see any benefit of using Processing Type= Manual, if it can be automated using MDIS(if Import Server is running).
@ Sudhanshu, So we can track the files wither port is manual or automatic I don't think we can track whether the file reaches to Archive folder from Ready folder using MDIS or through Import Manager selecting type = Port.
But there is one thing, whenever file disappears from Ready folder and goes to archive folder using MDIS, a log file gets generated in MDIS logs folder so this is one way using which we can come to know when was last file imported through Import server but i think we can not track from Archive folder.

Changes in application after import- Urgent help!!

Hi All,
We have a QA HTML DB instance and Production HTML DB instance. When we export applications from the QA instance and import it on to the production instance we are seeing some changes in the application. Some of the changes are
1. A popup lov is not getting initialized. Getting the error "Unable to initialize query". The same popup LOV is working in QA instance. Also, if I run the query of the popup LOV in the SQL Command processor of the production instance I am able to see the records.
2. A "blank" entry is getting inserted in the select list. I have not enabled to show NULL value in the attributes of the select list. I cannot see this "blank" entry in QA.
3. Checkboxes in a region are re aligned.
The only difference between the QA and production instance is the characterset. The QA is on WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_CHARACTERSET and production is on AL32UTF8 NLS_CHARACTERSET.
When we export the application we see that it is exported in WE8ISO8859P1, so when we import we have tried both WE8ISO8859P1 and AL32UTF8. But we are still seeing these changes.
Is this change related to the characterset issue? or something else? We cannot change the characterset of the QA instance to AL32UTF8 as of now and if its is character set issue is there a work around?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Swaroop

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, both databases are running the same version of HTML DB i.e 2.0.0.00.49
Oracle versions are different, QA -10.1.0.3.0, Production - 10.2.0.1.0
The database objects are similar, the schema was exported from QA database and imported on to production database. Data is also same.

PNG background changes to black after import

I have a large library of image elements, many in PNG format. Most of the PNGs are black with a transparent background. When I look at the thumbnails in the Import panel, I see the image with transparency preserved. However, once they've been imported, the transparency is lost and since the images are black on a now-black background, I can't see them in either the preview or the main image.
How do I turn off the black background for PNGs? This was the major reason I bought Aperture instead of just using Picasa to manage this library.

I have a feeling this is possibly related to the black screen problem.

Cp4 - not saving after importing slides

I imported sldes from another Captivate 4 project only to discover that all changes I made after the import weren't saved. I selected Save but the asterisk in the project title window didn't appear. I tried quitting Captivate to force a save. The dialogue asking me to save appeared - I clicked Save and Captivate just sat there. I had to use Task Manager to quit the application and, when I reopened my file, the imported slides and the changes I made after importing were gone.
So importing slides is one more feature that doesn't appear to work.
I'm at the end of my first week working with Captivate 4 and I'm not impressed. The new features look promising but were they bought at the expense of older features that no longer work?

TS2518 My RAW (nikon .NEF) files changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import.

My RAW (nikon .NEF) files are literally changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import. I.e. The correct photo (light/color/etc) seems to be there and then a second later the photo changes. It's almost like it's showing a quick enhanced version then back to basic raw image. Started within last two updates.
Is there a fix or is this the straw that forces a switch to Lightroom?

Just recall that Aperture (or any other 3rd party raw converter) has NO information about the JPEG preview and how it was made. That information is camera-vendor proprietary.
Also note that there are like 6 "picture styles" in camera and this change you're seeing is entirely dependent on how you have them set. If you have your camera set to "vivid" or something you'll see more of a change than if your on-camera is set to "faithful."
That said, people here ALSO complain that Aperture's initial renders are TOO vivid, the exact opposite of your complaint, so you can't please everybody (in some cases, it seems you can't please ANYBODY ;-)
Aperture provides a starting point. Again, if you don't like it, you can tell Aperture to go with a "punchier" interpretation at its first render. In the import dialog, try setting Aperture to use the "auto enhance" preset which is built in. Aperture will add a little vibrancy adjustment, and it will add a curve, which will greatly add punch to the image. If you want adjustments in a different direction, you can create a preset and set it at import.
The only thing Aperture CANNOT do is what you're asking, which is "take the JPEG that my camera vendor generates through some voodoo and try and render the raw file just like that." It's, unfortunately, impossible to do.
