Confusion - comparable and comparator

can any body tell me, why should i use comprator instead of comparable in TreeSort. When i used comparable with compareTo function it shows same result what comparator with compare function shows ..
plz help me..

Think of it this way: you can only implement Comparable once in a given class. This represents the 'default' ordering behavior. However, if you want to give a class in a Collection different ordering behavior, you write a Comparator. Dr. Laz has provided an excellent example of this.

  • Color Management Confusion-Photoshop and monitors

    Ok, so I am asking this question because I am literally at my wits end with this color management stuff. I have become so confused in the past few days that I can’t even think straight. Anyway, I am hoping you all can help me “understand” how it all work. Let me start with some background information (since I know it will probably be asked)
    am a photographer, I utilize Lightroom 4 and CS3 (I know its old but I am planning on getting CS6 soon).
    put my pictures on the web that I will assume will be viewed on multiple different browsers.
    also will be sending my pictures to print at mpix or whcc. I may decide to print my own but haven’t really made that determination at this point.
    have a mac book pro that I work from.
    Ok, so I need to get a monitor to work with but I am unsure if I should just buy the thunderbolt mac monitor or get a wide gamut monitor. I have heard so many people say that the wide gamut monitors just messed them up. Also, I am bit confused on the nature of monitor profiles and how they work with photoshop and lightroom. I would assume the monitor applies a profile at all times? I also don’t understand the existence of the prophoto and wide gamut profiles for the mac monitors… they clearly are not wide-gamut monitors, so how do these profiles exist for them, and why would they be useful (if you set the profile to prophoto for example, it is all washed out as expected). Are these profiles “assigning” a profile to the color? I am assuming so because if they were converting them to just a standard rgb then you wouldn’t have the faded colors (correct?).
    I just am so nervous that I am going to create something that looks great in Lightroom or Photoshop but that looks awful on the browser, or worse, on a different monitor (standard monitor) and I would have no idea that it looked bad. Or, if I send something to a printer only to get a mess back.
    Also, please let me know if I correct in this. If I am in photoshop and I have an untagged image (send via a friend), and lets just say it is really a prophoto image (although my friend didn’t tell me) and I say to assign the prophoto profile (upon import to photoshop). If that truly is the correct profile, the image should look correct. Now consider two scenarios from there: 1) I embed that profile in the image, if I upload that to the web (I know to be cautious, you should always use srgb for web), if the person has a color managed browser, the image would properly appear, because the browser would recognize the profile (in this case “prophoto”) and convert it to whatever it needed to be. But, if it was not a color managed browser, I run the risk that the web browser will just assign a profile, which will wash the photo out most likely, correct? Ok… and scenario 2) after I get the image from my friend and assign the prophoto profile (since that is the correct profile the image was actually created in, although it was untagged when it was sent to me), the image will look correct… BUT, is photoshop displaying the prophoto profile, or is it converting to RGB for my viewing, or is my monitor converting it to rgb for my viewing? I guess I just don’t understand how the monitor fits into all of this. You HAVE to use your monitor to see your images, and since most monitors (including my current one are standard gamut) it would make sense that you actually can’t see anything in the prophoto profile, and you are truly looking at an srgb profile since that is all your monitor can display.
    Oh ya, and what benefit is the color match rgb? It seems everyone speaks of the srgb, prophoto, and argb.. but never some of the others.. so maybe I am just lost. I would even appreciate a link to some tutorials if you think those would be helpful.
    I am seriously confused.. I would really appreciate the help.

    I am not surprised you are confused about colour management because its a confusing subject. Luckily you own a Mac so you can get to grips with what the problems that colour management solves using the "colorSync Utility" and you will find this in Applications >> Utilities >> colorSync Utility. If you own a windows computer then I am sorry but you will be out of luck here and you should know better when you buy your next computer!! I am not sure why Apple gave us this application but it is really useful and all will help you understand Color Management.
    1. Launch Applications >> Utilities >> ColorSync Utility.
    2. You will see a list of "Installed ColorSync Profiles". Choose Adobe RGB 1998 which I hope you have chosen in you camera preferences.
    3.You will see a 3D representation of the Adobe 1998 Colour space. This represents all the colors this colour space will hold.
    4. Top left hand corner you will see a little arrow pointing down next to "Lab Plot". Click on this and a drop down menu will appear.
        Choose "Hold For Comparison"
    5. Now somewhere in the "Installed ColorSync Profiles" list you will find the profile for you monitor. Choose this.
    6. You will now see a new colour space inside the Adobe 1998 Colour space. If you have a cheap monitor the colour space will be small
    inside the Adobe 1998 profile. This means that you monitor cannot show you all the colors that are missing.
    7. Now choose a printer profile say, if you use them a profile for an Epson paper or any printer profile you have and you will see another profile in the Adobe 1998 box which shows you the only colors that your printer can print. If you like choose your monitor profile then hold for comparison then the printer profile and it will clearly show the mis match between you monitor and printer.
    8. Now choose SRGB and this will show you what colors a person using an average Windows monitor can see, poor people.
    So this is the problem, all devises can reproduce only a certain range of colors. The adobe 1998 profile does not show all the colors our eyes can see " choose Generic Lab" profile, then "hold for comparison" then Adobe 1998 and you will see Adobe 1998 is a small profile but is a good average of our collective colour vision.
    So how to solve all these missing colour problems. Well if you think of each devise, including you camera as speaking a different language from you monitor and printer then it is easy to understand that you need some sort of translator so that they all know exactly what colour is being talked bout pixel by pixel in an image. This is held in the ICC profile, but an ICC profile has o do more than this.
    Say you camera can produce a specific red we will call for demo purposes "001" and your monitor cannot produce it, how do you solve this? Well it is very easy to fool our eyes. Our eyes work by comparison so if the profile maps red "001 to the nearest red that the monitor can show and then proportionally remaps all other reds to fit within the reds the monitor can show us then we actually think we are seeing a full range of reds. The problem comes if we use the wrong profile for this. The red 001 could be re mapped anywhere and could be outside what the monitor can show. Say that happens but the printer can reproduce that red 001. We would see an image on the monitor with not many reds and when we printed it we would be shocked to find reds on the print. Worst, we would see an image on the monitor without reds and would correct for this and end up with a print with heavy reds and would not be able to work out why.
    So to solve this we should:
    1. use the correct camera profile when we are opening "Raw" files.
    2. Make sure you have the correct monitor ICC profile selected in "System Preferences" >> Displays.
    3. In photoshop we should make sure that the " Edit >> colour settings " are set to Adobe 1998 for RGB.
    4. If you are going to print you own photo in Photoshop go to "View >> Proof Setup >> Custom" and a box will
    open. Choose the profile of your printer and paper and choose "Perceptual" for rendering intent and then " OK". If you cannot find
    a profile for you printer and paper go to the printer of paper manufactures web site and download the profiles and instal
    them.
    5. You can now adjust the colors and contrast and photoshop will simulate how the output devise will deal with this. If you
    are using an outside printing house, they will supply you with their ICC profile to download so just follow the same procedure and
    choose their ICC profile and and do you colour correction.
    If you have a cheap monitor you will still not get a 100% result but you will get closer. You really need a monitor that you can  calibrate
    regularly because generic ICC profiles are just that. They are made from the results of many monitors and so are 90% or worse accurate.
    If you want to see a flag ship monitor at work go to http://www.eizo.com/global/support/db/products/software/CG223W#tab02 and go
    to the bottom of the page and download the Eizo Coloredge CG223W monitor profile, instal it on your mac then open then ope
    Launch Applications >> Utilities >> ColorSync Utility choose Adobe 1998 the hold and compare it with the  Eizo Coloredge CG223W
    profile. This is not the top of the range Eizo monitors that we use but you will see that this monitor will show most of the missing colour you monitor does not. This is actually a good tip if you are buying a monitor. Download the monitors profile and see how good it really is.
    The weak link still is printing. The colors you see in RGB on a back lit RGB screen are very hard to reproduce by CYMK inks on paper. Here you really should have a profile made for your printer and chosen paper. If you don't want the expense of buying a calibrator and doing it yourself, there are on line services that will do this for you.
    One final point you must remember. If you are using soft proofing in Photoshop ( "View >> Proof Setup >> Custom" as explained above), when you print you MUST choose in "Colour Handling" "Photoshop Manages Colour" and in the next step when the printing box appears
    you will see a drop down box with "Layout" in it. Click on this and choose "Colour Management and choose "Off No Colour Management". If you do not do this Photoshop will manage the colour then the printer will do it again and the print will be a disaster.
    This is a starting point really. Colour management is difficult but just try to remember that you need a translator between each step in the process to make it work so you have to make sure the correct profiles are being used by you camera, the program you use for opening the Raw photo files (Please don't use jpegs straight from the camera, but thats another subject), the correct monitor profile and output profile. If you don't check these it is like chinese whispers and your picture will be printed in Double Dutch!!.
    Hope that helps. I am on location In Italy for a couple of months so will be unlikely to be able to reply to any questions for a while. Will try to check back and see how you are getting on. Drop me a line at [email protected] if you have any questions. Good luck.

  • Some confusing issues and their solution while working with InCopy stories.

    Hi All,<br />Last few months I have been working on InDesign/InCopy workFlow.I faced lot many problems and able to find solutions for some of them.I am putting down some of  the problems I haved faced and the approaches I followed to get the solutions.<br />So here I go...<br />First I will put the issues I faced and then their common solution.<br /><br />Issue 1)A text frame exported as a InCopy file.<br />InterfacePtr<IDataLinkReference> dataLinkReference(frameUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());<br />if(dataLinkReference == nil)<br />break;<br />UID linkUID = dataLinkReference->GetUID();<br />If(linkUID == kInvlaidID)<br />Break;<br /><br />The linkUID is always equal to kInvalidUID.<br /><br />Issue 2)A graphics frame with image placed inside it and exported as an InCopy file.<br />In this case the linkUID will have a valid UID.<br />So the code ahead is<br /><br />UIDRef linkRef(frameUIDRef.GetDataBase(), linkUID); <br />InterfacePtr<IDataLink> dataLink(linkRef, UseDefaultIID()); <br />if(dataLink != nil)<br />{<br />  PMString linkedFilePath = *(dataLink->GetFullName());<br />}<br /><br />so here the linkedFilePath will be the file path of the linked incopy file and not of that image file.<br /><br />Issue 3)A graphics frame with image placed inside it but without any associated InCopy file.<br />The linkedFilePath is that of filePath of an image.<br /><br />The solution I found was..<br />The reason for this confusing behaviour is, InCopy frame has one more UIDRef associated with the InCopy story.<br />So to get the incopy related UIDRef we have to use the following code.<br /><br />UIDRef incopyStoryUIDRef = Utils<IInCopyWorkFlowUtils>()->GetContainingInCopyStory(itemUIDRef);<br /><br />The problem with above api is in case of the graphic frame the itemUIDRef should be the UIDRef of the frame and in case of text frame the itemUIDRef should be the UIDRef of the text story i.e the text model.<br />To get the proper UIDRef use following code<br />//code start<br />UIDRef storyUIDRef(frameUIDRef.GetDataBase());<br />InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown> unknown(frameUIDRef,IID_IUNKNOWN);<br />if(unknown == nil)<br />{<br />break;<br />}<br />UID textFrameUID = Utils<IFrameUtils>()->GetTextFrameUID(unknown);<br />if(textFrameUID != kInvalidUID)<br />{<br />isTextFrame = kTrue;<br />UIDRef textFrameUIDRef(frameUIDRef.GetDataBase(),textFrameUID);<br />InterfacePtr<ITextFrame> textFrame(textFrameUIDRef,UseDefaultIID());<br />if(textFrame == nil)<br />{<br />break;<br />}<br />ITextModel * txtMdl = textFrame->QueryTextModel();<br />if(txtMdl == nil)<br />{<br />break;<br />}<br /><br />storyUIDRef = GetUIDRef(txtMdl);<br />result =  Utils<IInCopyBridgeUtils>()->IsInCopyStory(storyUIDRef);<br />               <br />}<br />else<br />{<br />isTextFrame = kFalse;<br />result = Utils<IInCopyWorkFlowUtils>()->IsInCopyStory(frameUIDRef);<br />storyUIDRef = frameUIDRef;               <br />}<br />//code end.<br /><br />Then use<br />UIDRef incopyStoryUIDRef = Utils<IInCopyWorkFlowUtils>()->GetContainingInCopyStory(storyUIDRef );<br /><br />Once you have the proper incopyStoryUIDRef, the following code works uniformely and you will always get the incopy file irrespective of the type of frame.<br /><br />IDataLink * dLink = Utils<IInCopyBridgeUtils>()->QueryDataLink(incopyStoryUIDRef);<br />if(dLink == nil)<br />{                                   <br />break;<br />}<br />so dLink->GetFullName() will always give you the incopy file path associated with the frame.<br /><br />Hope this helps somebody working on InCopy stories.<br /><br />But I still could not find the way to find the image file path associated with the graphic incopy story.(refer issue 2 above.).Using above approach I always get the file path of associated incopy file.<br /><br />I will keep this thread updated as and when I encounter with some more issues and find their solutions.<br /><br />Thanks and Regards,<br />Yopangjo.

    I cannot explain why your iMac worked ok.  I too have seen situations where "lower cost" WiFi routers like Belkin and LInksys have "sort of" worked but had problems.
    Back in 2004 after buying a fairly large house I purchased an off-brand WiFi gateway that featured high power output so I could mount it centrally in the house and be able to use WiFi everywhere.  Even though this thing was rated well and had the high-power everyone said would help it gave me continuous problems.
    One day a buddy gave me an Apple Airport (the one that looks like a apple power adapter).  I plugged it in where I had the high power unit in place and suddenly I had amazing WiFi speed and coverage EVERYWHERE. I could not believe it!  That day I ordered an Airport Extreme and it has been fantastic.
    I then recommended this solution to a friend of mine that had an Apple MacBook and he had nothing but trouble and went back to his linksys.  So it is a mixed bag.
    Currently I have three WiFi devices:  A TimeCapsule downstairs, an Airport Extreme upstairs and a LInkSys in a utility closet.  The LinkSys is needed because my son's GF's Windows computer will not connect to anything else.
    Anyway glad you figured something out.

  • .cr2 images from eos700d. Which plug in required for cs5? Confused, stuck and end of tether!

    Hello,
    I've hit this very annoying snag that I got a new camera (originally eos350d) and go to upload images and edit...it doesn't recognise the file tag .CR2!
    I'm confused as to what plug in is best for 700d and equally compatible for CS5. Downloaded the DNG convertor but that won't read them either. I'm just seeing a bunch of numbers and it isn't processing i'm afraid. Can somebody help, please?
    I work of a Mac 10.6.6.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Your camera is only directly supported by Photoshop CS6 and newer.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS5 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself...
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Confused - PSD and CR2

    I'm confused - I just tried to import a folder of RAW files, one of the files I've previously worked on in Photoshop, and have created a Tif and a PSD file the are all name the same eg: xxx.cr2, xxx.psd and xxx.tif.
    In Lightroom all that shows are the PSD and the Tif files NOT the RAW if I try to drag and drop the RAW file into Lightroom it tells me it 'can't import it as the file is already present in the Library'?
    Is this how it should work? or is something screwy????

    Like to, have to doesn't matter.
    Once I had used LR for a while it became no issue.
    What I do is import everything to LR and when necessary I sned to PS, this creates an edit copy with "edit" in the file name, so the problem does not arise.
    It is a bit of a nuisance with old files sure but that is getting less as time goes by. It is a small thing to change the odd file name on ones I want to do this too from a folder.

  • 10.5.6 - Network System Preferences confuses Ethernet and Airport

    Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I'm having odd behavior from Airport (which is the only network connection I typically use). Symptoms include Airport turning off when the MacBook wakes from sleep, and Airport not automatically connecting to my home network (to which it regularly reconnected prior to 10.5.6).
    The strangest symptom, however, is how Ethernet and Airport are mixed-up in the Network preference pane. I can't post a screen shot (hey Apple - why not?!) so I'll describe:
    * In the list of Services on the left side, the service named "Ethernet" has an Airport icon, and the service named "AirPort" has an Ethernet icon.
    * When Airport connects, a green dot appears next to the service named "Ethernet".
    * When I select the service named "Ethernet" (with the AirPort icon) I see options to the right mostly related to AirPort. Thus, it looks like the Network pref pane has become confused about the names of the services... BUT when I rename the services to correct, then restart the computer, the names go back to the mixed-up situation described above.
    Any ideas of how to fix?

    Or somebody's playing a prank on him.
    AirPort does turn itself off when the computer is asleep. It takes a few seconds for AirPort to reconnect. If the WiFi signal is weak or if there are a lot of network noise, AirPort may not reconnect for a long time.

  • Confusing impdp and expdp stuff

    Hello, I am kinda new to Oracle in general.
    Building a test environment.
    Want to move a production schema to a test RAC db i have built.
    I read up and decided that expdp would be the best method ( correct me if i am wrong please )
    I am on oracle linux.
    Now I have expdp'ed a schme succesfully but when impdping on the other system i am getting a total of 735 errors.
    I have created the same exact user and am using the following command
    Please let me know whether I am missing a step here.
    $>impdp system/<password> directory=impdp_dir dumpfile=UNIXDATA.DMP logfile=impdpUNIXdata.log fromuser='unixdata' touser='unixdata' commit=Y ignore=Y
    would the log file help?
    one of them

    Hi,
    You don't say what version of Oracle you are using so trying to help without that info is more difficult. It also looks like you are using some old exp parameters and some new expdp parameters. Your mixed command is:
    impdp system/<password> directory=impdp_dir dumpfile=UNIXDATA.DMP logfile=impdpUNIXdata.log fromuser='unixdata' touser='unixdata' commit=Y ignore=Y
    You said that you did a schema mode export, so I would change the impdp command to be:
    impdp system/<password> directory=impdp_dir dumpfile=UNIXDATA.DMP logfile=impdpUNIXdata.log table_exists_action=append
    The parameters I changed were:
    fromuser='unixdata' -- if the only thing in the dumpfile is what you want, then you don't need fromuser
    touser='unixdata' -- since you are importing into the same schema, you don't need touser
    commit=y -- no such equivalent in datapump
    ignore=y -- the same as table_exists_action=append
    Now for your errors.
    The first one is not familiar with me, but I have seen the second error, but can't remember the details. Having the version that you are running may help job my memory.

  • Aperture confuses orf and nef and avi raw files. Suggestions on what to do?

    Just used a new Olympus E-M5 in Italy and Germany, after many years of using Nikon products, most recently a D700 with fast glass. I have also used Aperture from version 1.0. Olympus RAW file format is .ORF. As I have uploaded the images into Aperture from the SD cards, I have just found that on one card about 100 files are mis-identified in Aperture's import window as either .NEF or .AVI files, rather than the .ORF files that they are. They are identified as .ORF files on the card itself.
    I have not yet imported them and wondered if anyone has any thoughts about the wisdom of: (1) uploading them as they are, as the images seem to be fine; (2) batch changing the file extension to .ORF once they have been imported; (3) trying some variant of drag and drop, or moving the files to a new folder and importing from there; (4) something totally different and better.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    P.S. For those of you tired of tugging around big bodies and fast (and heavy) glass, the move to the E-M5 has been wonderful. Great Zeiss and Leica lenses are available (and much lighter!) and the images are magnificent, though smaller, in the 4/3 format.

    How are you imorting from your Olympus? Directly from the camera or from a card reader? With some cameras the results can be different, if imported directly from the camea. If possible, use a card reader.
    My D700 used compact flash, so this SD card has never been in a Nikon camera;
    That is not what I meant - I thought that maybe this particular card has a corrupted filesystem and needs reformatting. Can you check with a different card, if all is o.k. for newer photos?
    Do you have any thoughts about changing the file extension from .NEF to .ORF?
    If it are truely .ORF files, it should not matter, how you call the file. But you need to do it before importing to Aperture. Afterwards renaming may cause Aperture to lose the connection between master and version.
    I just made the following test: I renamed a Canon raw file (".CR2") to  Nikon raw (".NEF") in the Finder and reimported the renamed file. In spite of the misleading ,NEF extension, Aperture recognized the file by its attributes as a Canon Raw, as this screenshot ist showing, because of the EXIF, also when I renamed the file to "-ORF"- And the "Raw Fine Tuning" brick shows clearly, that independent of the file name extension the correct raw develepment, that for the Canon EOS will be used.
    But the Finder will show the "Kind" of the "NEF" file as "Nikon Electronic Format". So if it bothers you, rename the file.
    Have you by any chance set a file renaming preset in the "Import" panel? HAve a look at the "Rename Files" brick in the "Import" panel and check the preset, that is used by going to "Edit".
    Regards
    Léonie

    Hi lenkearney,
    To try and resolve the issue, we will want to ensure that the printer has proper wireless communication occurring. For proper wireless communication to occur, it is important that network devices are suitably located. Please ensure the following:
    1. The printer and the access point are located within the wireless connectivity range with no obstacles between them.
    2. The distance between the printer and the access point is not too far. If they are too far, move them closer together.
    3. There is no barrier or obstacle between the printer and the access point. In general, connection performance decreases for communications through walls or between different floors. Adjust the locations to avoid such situations.
    4. There are no sources of radio interference near the printer and the access point. The wireless connection may use the same frequency band as microwave ovens and other sources of radio interference. Try to keep the printer and the access point away from such sources.
    5. Check if the radio channel of the access point is close to that of other access points nearby. If the radio channel of the access point is close to that of other access points nearby, the connection performance may become unstable. Be sure to use a radio channel that does not interfere with other access points.
    Once these items have been verified, if you still experience difficulty, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

  • Siri is confusing yes and no.

    I have a friend whose name is "Yes."  This may be where the trouble began.
    Whenever I asked Siri an unclear question - Call such and such, Add to x list, etc - when Siri would respond with a command needing confirmation - Did you mean such and such, or Do you want me to add so and so to such and list - when Siri wants a yes or no, effectively, it doesn't process them correctly.
    If I answer Yes, it says, did you mean Yes So and So, and tries to call my friend Yes.  Ridiculous.
    So I say, sorry yes, I'll just have to look up your number some other way (or maybe I should just start saying "That's correct.") - and I delete Yes's contact.
    It finds the contact in my Skype account and asks for that.
    OK - let's try no and see if this is some larger deal.
    "Siri, call Little Mandarin in San Rafael"  - "Did you mean 'Little Arrows'"  (My daughters old school, in a different town. This always happened - this isn't the weird part.)
    "No" - "Which number for Little Arrows"
    OK, so clearly Siri has lost yes/no functionality.
    What do I do?

    Robert,
    Give this a try :
    * Create a test html page
    * Include the Javascript function from [http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-14.html|http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-14.html]
    * Create pairs of checkboxes using the html below :
    <pre>Yes<input type="checkbox" checked="yes" name="cbox_yes_1" onchange="CheckBoxesByName('cbox_no_1',2)">
    No<input type="checkbox" name="cbox_no_1" onchange="CheckBoxesByName('cbox_yes_1',2)"></pre>
    You can create additional pairs by changing cbox_yes_1 to cbox_yes_2 and cbox_no_1 to cbox_no_2 etc
    In this example the Yes boxes are ticked by default. Whenever they change the No boxes are toggled. Whenever the No boxes change the Yes boxes are toggled.
    Here is an example page :

  • Confused Laptop and iTunes Game Purchase

    I have a laptop that I use for work that has a dedicated "my documents"folder that is backed up to our corporate servers each day. Therefore I have created a "personal" folder that includes a "my music" folder that does not get backed up daily and is on the root of c:.
    iTunes still keeps trying to put a folder under the "public my documents" folder but I finally was able to get it moved and reading from the "personal" folder. However, now when I purchase a game from iTunes it is putting it in the "public my documents" folder rather than the personal one. I located the folder in an itunes games folder and tried to move it manually and it wont work still.
    I've done the whole consolidate and everything. At this point I'm very frustrated and would really like to throw the thing away. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hold Shift when starting iTunes.
    Select *Create new library* and select somewhere on your C: drive outside of My Documents.
    Then add all your music to iTunes.
    iTunes will use this location from now on & when you connect to the company server, iTunes will no loger try to use My Documents/My Music/iTunes.

  • Trying to compare FCP with Media 100 for a Public Access studio

    Hi all,
    I am new here. I do most of the review of products for our Public Access studio. We have a couple of existing Media 100 systems and we are considering adding or upgrading our NLE capabilities. Our studio manager had a chance to look at FCP being used at our high school and she came back with a number of impressions that I wonder about and would like to vet with people who know more about FCP. So, any comments would be helpful.
    The high school media person demo’d FCP for her and let her play with it a bit. After looking at it herself, she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before. That is fairly typical of the people doing Public Access production in our town.
    However, it looks to her like there are a lot of tools that come with FCP that Media 100 either doesn't have or are not easily found in it. For example, she feels FCP’s set up looks more complicated and confusing compared to Media 100’s, but in FCP you can have up to 99 video lines in a program, where with Media 100 we're just going back and forth between the a and b video lines. Plus you can have up to 99 Audio tracks on FCP as well, where our max at the moment is 8. Now as to when you would need 99 video or audio tracks, she is not sure, but it is definitely a capability that we don't have in Media 100.
    Titling looked easier to her on Media 100. With FCP there were a lot of filters involved and hoops to jump through, plus she couldn't do a word with each letter a different color, for example, unless she did each letter on a different track.
    The media person warned her that FCP is really large. Apparently the program itself takes up like 35 GB of space on the hard drive, and a typical 30 min. project comes in at over 100 GB! She couldn't believe it, but she was assured it’s true. Even with our longest programs, like like a School Committee meeting thqat went 3 1/2 hours, it would came in at a max of 30 GB on the Media 100. She got the impression this big difference was so because Final Cut renders everything you do, including rendering any edits you make on your footage as new files, and stores it all in a huge folder. She thinks with Media 100, you import the footage and use it as is - the only things it will render are screen freezes, transitions, and color effects. Is that sort of comparison correct (and fair), or is something being missed?
    She says in her experience that something like iMovie is the most basic as far as what you can do, then Ulead would be a step above that- the editing is basically the same, but you have a few more options. Media 100 would be next as far as ease of use and understanding of the program. FCP seemed a little confusing even to her. Comments or insights?

    Welcome to the family, maybe.
    I switched from M100 about four years ago, I was never so glad to give that company the boot. A direct comparison just isn't possible but I'll try to answer some questions. There is a Media 100 forum on creativecow.net.
    she says she would definitely say Media 100 is easier to understand/use, especially if you've never used non-linear editing before.< </div>
    Yes, absolutely, M100 has always had an elegant and refined interface. However, the paradigm in FCP is not opaque. It's far more interesting, deeper, more complex. So, yes, it's a bit tougher to grasp. But don't sell your students/users short. They'll get it.
    99 tracks is marketing BS. The serious work is done with nesting. How many public access pieces need more than 5 or 10 video tracks?
    Titling in FCP depends on third party filters like Boris or tools like LiveType and Motion. The basic titling tools in FCP are lame and difficult to use, in my opinion, compared to the elegant titler in M100 (as long as you don't launch Graffiti).
    The installation includes tens of gigs of animation, movie and music loop resources that you don't need to load. The suite includes Motion, LiveType, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro and FCP.
    If you're shooting DV, a 3-1/2 hour show is, umm, well, you look it up, DV is DV. But if you're capturing 3 hours from each of three cameras, that's a lot of DV.
    Rendering depends on lots of things. M100's native codec handles lots of realtime stuff that FCP can't unless you've got a huge Macintosh. Previewing is not a big deal at lower rez in FCP, you get used to it. .
    FCP is really scary. You can look at thousands of "I'm in way over my head, HELP!" posts here. But all those folks find they slip right into the Apple paradigm, the weirdly new workflow and start exploring the wide new world of serious editing that FCP opens up. You'll hate it for a few months because it's so dramatically different from M100. You'll love it, though.
    If you want to continue the thread, give the rest of the disaffected former M100 users a few days to post their comments. There are many of us here. Then maybe start a new thread, one question at a time.

  • Compare two strings for partial or full match

    I have been trying to figure out away of comparing two strings.
    I can get the full string matching to successfully work but am struggling on how to get partial eg wildcard search working.
    say I had names like paul Duncan, George Morrison.
    I have split them up so its now paul , duncan i then use the users entered string to compare it against the name name to see if it matches anything in the first name or the last name if it does i added it to an arraylist.
    however i have tried t use a indexof as i believe this looks for similarity (Substring matches?) but it always returns -1.
    Could anyone possibly direct me to a method that will allow me to use partial text string to match it against stored user names.
    eg user enters pa
    I would return anything that would contain pa
    thanks for any help

    thank you for the reply
    Sorry I forgot to put in the code.
    This is a reduced down version including the read in from a text file as well as the index of if statement and the adding of it to an array list.
    public class FindContact {
    String res;
    /** Creates a new instance of FindContact */
    public FindContact() {
    public Object[] FindAUser(String passSearch) {
    System.out.println("getting here");
    ArrayList found = new ArrayList();
    String patternStr = ",";
    int j, i = 0;
    try {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("H:\\out.txt"));
    String str;
    while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
    String[] fields = str.split(patternStr);
    //for(j=0;j < fields.length;j++) {
    if (fields.length != 0) {
    if (passSearch.indexOf(fields[0])!=-1 || passSearch.indexOf(fields[1])!=-1) {
    found.add(str);
    System.out.println("ENDDDDDDDD value ");
    in.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println(e.toString());
    Object[] foundResult = new Object[found.size()];
    foundResult = found.toArray();
    if (foundResult.length >= 0) {
    System.out.println(foundResult.length);
    return foundResult;
    Hope that helps as it has confused me and am not sure why it is not returning a value.
    Should I maybe use the contain method instead to search for the user inputted string?
