Checking out graphics and retaining metadata

I'm testing FCS and I'm wondering... Maybe I'm missing something.
Is it possible to add metadata to an image in FinalCut Server,check out the image and retain the metadata in CS3 Photoshop? I can export and retain keywords, and add keywords in Photoshop and bring them back in. Just can seem to see the metadata unless it's exported as a PhotoShop or jpg file.

Thanks for the quick reply. Basically I have a graphic (JPG) I imported into FCS and the metadata is all there. I add notes to the keyword field in FCS, However when I check out the graphic and edit it in Photoshop CS4 the added notes aren't in the keywords field in file info (only the original keywords). I add a new note in Photoshop and re-checkin to FCS and the notes added in PS are there.
I'd like to be able to have the metadata be exchanged both ways. Note if I export the JPG the info is retained but that's a lot of work importing and overwriting of files.

Checking out graphics

I am using Arbortext's Epic Editor to access the Oracle database through the IFS adapter. I cannot check out graphics though through this adapter because the box is grayed out. Does anyone know why this is or if there is a configuration parameter I need to change? Thanks.

Importing from one iPhoto library to another and retaining metadata.

I have an iPhoto 11 library stored on DVD. Each image in the Library has a number set as its title, 1 through to 350.
The actual names of the images in the filesystem have the format 'P1010004.jpg'.
I want to export the images from iPhoto so that they use the title for the filename so that they're numbered 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc (effectively renaming all the files to use the image title instead of the camera generated title). I know this possible using the File > Export dialog.
With the DVD inserted, the library appears in iPhoto in the 'Shared' section in the left-hand pane. I can navigate through the library on the DVD and the titles and metadata are appearing correctly when I click on 'info'
When I try to export directly from the DVD, the 'File > Export' option is disabled / greyed out. So I presume I need to import these images to my local library to allow me to then export them.
However, when I try and copy the images to my local library by dragging the images from Shared library to my local library (all within the iPhoto window), the image title data is lost, the title becomes the filename 'P1010004'.
I've tried copying the Image Library from the DVD to my local drive, then opening iPhoto with the 'alt' key to select this library, however iPhoto won't open it and the following error appears: You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. However, I know that the DVD was created by iPhoto 11, the same version I'm using.
Can anyone please tell how I can import these images to my local library and retain the metadata.
Thanks,

I'm just wanting to export to a local folder.
I've looked at iPhoto Library Manager but it didn't seem to want to load Library I'm trying to merge, and I'm not convinced that iPLM is fully compatible with the latest version of iPhoto.
What I really don't understand is that iPhoto immediately recognises the library stored on the DVD, and it automatically pops up in the 'Shared' list on the left hand side.
However, if I first copy the Library from the DVD to my local drive, then try and open iPhoto with this library using the ALT key, I get the following error:
You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?
... which is strange because I'm using the latest version of iPhoto, and I know the iPhoto Library on the DVD was created using iPhoto 11.

Help. MacbookPro9,1 w/ 840 SSD not booting after 10.9.2 update. Drive checks out fine, and works well w/ 10.9.1

Hi Everyone.
My Macbook has been running fine on 10.9.1. When I installed the update, the computer won't boot up. It stays on the apple logo. I tried Safe Mode, resetting PRAM/NRAM, Single User Mode etc., nothing.
I scanned and repaired permissions on the drive, but everytime the drive itself checks out fine. So I did a time machine restore, and everything works well (10.9.1). Figured it was just a fluke, so I attempted to update again. Same issue!
Booting in verbose mode gave me the following:
The only thing that I can think of from trying to read around in all the multiple posts is that maybe 10.9.2 doesn't like my SSD?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Check-out Exclusive and Check-out Nonexclusive

Hi,
When we check out a record exclusively or non-exclusively why is the 'Modify Join Permissions' option active(not disabled).According to my understanding,if we make check-out non-exclusive, without modifying join permission,all the other users must be able to 'Join checkout'.If it is exclusive we have to assign user and role who can Join Checkout it.Then why is the 'Modify Join Permission' option coming for non-exclusive checkout also.Apart from my understanding is there any other difference between the two.Please help me in clarifying this.
Thanks and Regards,
Preethi

Hi,
(1) Exclusive, which grants join permissions to no other roles or users (by default, no other users can join the checkout); and
(2) Nonexclusive, which grants join permissions to the Everyone role (by default, all users can join the checkout).
Instead of checking in the duplicate record, the owner can use the Roll Backcommand to delete the duplicate and abandon changes.
You can use the All Versions command to display both versions (originals and duplicates) of all checked out records. This is the only way for other users to join the check out of new records.
You can use role-based privileges to decide whether owners and/or non-owners are permitted to check in, roll back, or modify join permissions of checked out records.

Improvements in Oracle SCM Check Out and Check In mechanism (better Oracle

Oracle SCM - the Software Configuration Manager provides the backend source code control services for Oracle Designer. It offers among other things functionality for Version Control: Check In, Check Out, Branching and Merging and it records Check In/Out notes, Version Labels and version events. In comparison with several other tools for version control, it has a few oddities or lacks some functionality that might have been very handy. It turns out that most of that functionality can be created fairly easy, with additional triggers on the Oracle SCM tables. I have demonstrated in a previous post how two of these additional pieces of functionality can be implemented: Building Check In protection into Oracle Designer/Oracle SCM - Check In only by the user that did the Check Out (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=784). I intend to write further articles to demonstrate implementations of all others enhancements listed in this post: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=799.
Please let me know - through comments on that Blog article - if you are interested in any of the mentioned enhancements.
best regards,
Lucas

The first query points to many threads where a similar question has been asked. You can change the query search words to get more hits.
If you are looking specifically for OM, it will also help if you network with some non-IT guys to understand how, in general, Order Management is used in various industries. You can talk to Order Entry clerks to understand order taking process (such as customer calls, they create a quote, customer approves, quote is turned into order), you can talk to Warehouse personnel to understand order shipping process (Such as order ship date nears, they run a report to find which orders need to ship in the next x days, they generate pick tickets to get material, they generate packing slips, generate invoices, shipping notices etc.)
Talk to some AR folks to understand credit processes and invoice /collection processes.
These folks don't have to use Oracle. What you are looking for a generic understanding of how the business /processes work.

SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 CMS/Integration - Checked Out Files Stuck

Hello,
I originally set up the CMS connection to my SharePoint through FrameMaker using the domain name as a part of the user name (as suggested in a previous post), but have still run into this same issue discussed in that post, (unalterably locked files), and have been completely unable to resolve it.
When I check out a file, it gets "stuck" in that checked-out/locked state, and I'm unable to edit, check in, or discard my check out. The only thing I'm still able to do is view the files as "Open (Read only)," and delete the files.
I've even tried to access the files through the SharePoint site itself (as well as through SharePoint Workspace) in an attempt to check the files back in, but this command only returns an error about the files being checked out to a local draft, or one claiming the file may not even be checked out in the first place, etc. The only thing I seem to be able to do is delete the files from the server.
Thus far, I've been completely unable to use this tool.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm at a loss.
Thank you,
Carolyn

Hello Vimal -
Thanks so much for your reply.
The login name that I used to connect to the SharePoint repository is in the format DomanName\EmployeeNumber. However, in the "Modified By" field of the Properties dialog, my full name is listed (last name, first name). Attempting to log in with the credentials DomainName\Full Name (as listed in the properties dialog) results in an error message reading: "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized".
Working outside of FrameMaker's CMS, i am indeed able to upload, check out, edit, and check in files successfully. The problem, however, with working with the files from outside of FrameMaker itself, is that SharePoint doesn't understand file dependencies upon upload. So, when I open a checked out *.book file from the server, it cannot locate the individual (also checked out) chapter *.fm files necessary to edit the document - which means I can only work with these files through FrameMaker. And, it's only within FrameMaker's CMS that I'm running into an inability to check documents back in or edit them. Bummer...
Thanks again for responding. Any ideas welcome!

JDev-SCM Check Out File Version

When using the RON, I have been able to successfully check out a specific version of a file using the graphical Version History Viewer (and right clicking on the appropriate node).
When attempting the same within the 9i JDeveloper IDE, however, this functionality does not appear to work the same/correctly? The node turns blue (and SCM believes the file version is checked out), but JDeveloper does not appear to reflect the same....the icon in the System Navigator does not change to indicate the file's checked out status and the specific version of the file is not written to the workarea's download directory (as is the case with the RON)....?

This is Release Candidate 2 on Win2K with the Windows Look & Feel. I have tried the Oracle L&F, too, with the same outcome. The same steps in the RON, however, produce the desired result.
Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display in game graphics and SMC

I recently bought a MacBook Pro with retina display and started playing STC2 on it. I experienced great gameplay with maxed out graphics and 30fps, however recently the fps was down and as part of my trobleshooting I reset the SMC and that seemed to correct the issue. However the computer heats up much faster now and the fans seem to labor to keep it cool. When the fps was lower before i reset the SMC the computer did not get nearly as hot. My question is; is this the OS trying to protect the hardware from overheating or just a glitch?

Well unless you want to go through the hassle of waiting for a replacement unit you can try a few things on your own.
Make sure it is plugged in and charging (Orange LED light will indicate it is charging Green means it is fully charged)
Once it is plugged in make sure everything else is unplugged
The only thing plugged in should be the power adapter
On the left hand side of your keyboard press down and hold the Control Shift and Option Keys
While you are holding down those three keys hold down the power button as well
Hold down all 4 of these for 10 seconds
After 10 seconds let go
Try turning your mac on
If this works problem fixed!
If this does not work try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE (You get 90 days of free complimentary phone support on your product)
If you purchased AppleCare you have 3 years of it and you should have this number on hand it can really help you out
I always advise friends and family to purchase applecare if they plan on having their product longer than a year
You will get 3 years of phone support as well as hardware support
That means if you have any questions or anything goes wrong just call Apple
It also means if your computer breaks it is covered! Meaning no out of pocket expenses unless it is water or accidental damage
You may really want to look into purchasing applecare

Can't check out files from JDEV 9.02.798

Hi,
We are making a project prototype with JDEV (previously we use another IDE). We have put our files in CVS 1.2. We are able to log in, update and add files to CVS. Unfortunately, we are unable to find a way to check out the files. The only option to do this is via FILE>Source Control>Check out project, but we failed..cant find module name. We also try to right click the files > Source Control>...there is no check out option there. Can you guys help us? There is one option we havent done yet, that is FILE>SOURCE CONTROL>IMPORT PROJECT. What happen if we click this? will it add the project file to CVS? Will it overwrite existing project (assuming we have similar project name with previous..)...Thanks

Hi,
The first thing I'd recommend is upgrading your JDeveloper installation. 9.0.2.798 is not a production version of JDeveloper (in fact, it's Release Candidate 2 of 9.0.2). There have been two full production releases since then.
To add files to CVS as a module, you should use the Import Project command. This will prompt you to enter a module name. After importing your module, you can check it back out (to a different directory) using the Check Out menu, and specifying the same module name you used in Import Project.
There were some specific issues with JDev 9.0.2 and module recognition in CVS - if you're still having problems, upgrading to JDeveloper 9.0.3 is definitely worthwhile to pick up the latest features and bug fixes.
Thanks,
Brian

A compare SSIS package checked out with TFS version in VS 2012 no longer shows messagebox 'The files are identical'

Hello,
Recently I have had started work on a development system that has VS 2012 and SQL Server Data Tools For VS2012. One thing that annoys me is the fact that a source comparison between a checked out package and the version stored in TFS
no longer displays the message 'The files are identical', but instead opens the text editor with 2 panes for both sources as if there were differences, with sliders at the right side that do not show any differences (everything in B&W of course). A simple
message like we had in VS2008 'The files are identical' would suffice to me. On the other hand when you check in the files with VS 2012 and they had not changed then the source control system warns that it did not make any changes since the files
were identical. Why did the VS 2012 team fix something that worked ? Is there some advantage that I am missing?

I did not see such an option, I asked around, appears nobody knows, but I admit there could be a way.
I still suggest opening an MS Connect so somebody from the development team would respond.

RSC says I have files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out

We are using RSC 3 to control RH7 projects. At the moment RSC says I have hundres of files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out. And then it says "No files were found to CheckIn." What could be causing this?
I tried refreshing and rebooting my (client) PC, and it didn't help.
Thanks.

I am no pro at this product but when you look in source control, who does it say has those files checked out. Does that user match the credentials that you use to connect to source control. The only reason I ask this is, when I first set this up for my Publishers, I used the default admin account to connect to RSC. Then I created accounts for them and went to their workstations to change credentials. I changed the credentials but they had checked out some docs before that and could not check them back in because they were still checked out as admin. Had to change it back, have them check projects back in and then switch credentials. Hope this helps.

Monitor wigging out; lines and weird layers; Software or Hardware?

Monitor wigging out; lines and weird layers jiggle and shake back and forth.
iMac will only run a few minutes before it happens.
I am ran Apple Hardware Test and everything checked out OK and my iMac ran flawlessly for hours after AHT, then I restarted it and BAM!! there it is again only worse.
Could this a software issue?
Any ideas??

same thing here....was fine one min, then i come back after the screen saver came on, and it wouldn't respond. It wasn't responding so I had no option but to force shutdown. Turned it back on and the screen went wacky on me. Now it'll start up, but won't make it to my desktop. I can access it via afp (file sharing) but not VNC (screen sharing). Somebody help please! this is my second Mac to go bad and I'm starting to get really disappointed.

Can not check in or check out in the workbench

We have set up a new installation of LiveCycle ES4 with SP1 on weblogic. Everything seems to be working fine but we can't check-in or check out files.
Actually, a new file can be created and checked-in to the repository for the first time. If you want to make changes to the exsting files, the CheckOut functionality is not working. When I checkout the resource, I am not getting the icon to show the resource was checked out. And the Check-In option is greyed out.
There is no error message (nor popup, nor specific line in the logs)..
Does any one has experienced the similar issue..
Thanks
Srini

Can you try this:
1) Select the application.
2) Right click on the application and select 'Delete'.
3) Select 'Yes' for 'delete local copy of application and it's assets'.
Do not check the option - Also delete the application from the server.
4) Now go to File.
5) Select 'Get Applications'.
6) Select your application and click 'OK'.
You should be able to get the copy of your application which is on the server. Checkin and checkout should work fine after that.
Let us know if the issue is still not resolved.

Quickest way to Check Out

Ok so just got Final Cut Server in the office and uploaded a few clips on one computer in Edit Room 1.
I can preview the clips no problem in Edit Room 2 but when i want to Check Out it takes some time. is there a way to take this a little faster.
Thanks!!

It sounds like you are not using Edit-in-place. Do you work in a SAN environment? If you are not in a SAN environment, Final Cut Server will need to copy over the LAN any files you check out and any media linked with them if the file is a FCP project file. This will obviously take a very long time to copy since the media files are so large and the LAN speeds are limited (even with gigabit). Edit-in-place lets you check out projects and work with the linked media where it lives on the shared storage without having to copy it around.
