Converted iVMP user...how to best catalog in Aperture

version 1.5 got my attention. I have played around with it some, but am not 100% sure about it. I am currently using iView MP and like the very deep organization that is possible. Granted I sure don't need it. A bit about how I do things....
-Files are kept in a folder tree that is organized by type. So:
Photos:Business:Portrait:Senior:client name:RAW (or jpeg for Lab, PS edits)
or
Photos:Business:Sports:Baseball:BostonRedSox (yeah, I wish)
I imagine I can still do that with v1.5. However I'd like to be able to find photos by subject, location, event, sport, date, rating. Is there a labeling equivolent in Aperture like in iView? I can't find it and I think its a very useful tool. I label photos first (reject, maybe, keeper, client favorite, studio favorite, portfolio, client order) and then apply ratings to them. This way I can find all my favorites or my cleints ordes. Just rating them is not as good. Any way to use Aperture to have this level of organization?
Any suggestions from former iVMP users is greatly appreciated. Screen shots of your prject panel would be helpful. I guess part of it is just understanding the roles of the Library, Projects, folders, ablums, light tabels and so on. Yeah, I'm reading the pdf manual...but I'm a hands on learner.

still use iview...but more Apeture by the week.

IPhoto and multiple users - how to best manage photos across multiple users

I'm trying to fiure out the best way to setup photo storage on my new iMac. I've been a mac user for many years but never used iPhoto, just managed the photos in the finder and dated the folder/events. I use Photoshop and other image editing apps from time to time too.
My biggest difficulty I'm running into is both my wife an I take a lot of pictures on our phones. We'd like to be able to access them equally but since we are set up as two diffenent users, I don't know the best way to download and access them.
Can anyone advise me if this is a good setup, or would ven work?
Move managed library to shared folder on mac so two users can access library?
will that cause problems?
can both users add photos from their iPhones via iPhoto on their respective accounts and have the new photos show up on the other users iPhoto app?
would the newly added photos sharing be automaticall be set to the folder sharing settings? ie, view and edit for both users?
This brings up other questions:
if i edit the photos with say photoshop, will the changes show up in iphoto?
would timemachine back the data up automatically?
when I upgrade to a new computer will everything work the same.
I'm sure I've missed something important so any advice would be great.
Thanks!

Many people using the Shared Folder find that they have permissions issues which mean that they 'other' user can't see some part of the Library. Therefore, if you want to share the Library in that way it's best moved to an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set to ignore ownership and permissions.
can both users add photos from their iPhones via iPhoto on their respective accounts and have the new photos show up on the other users iPhoto app?
Yes.
would the newly added photos sharing be automaticall be set to the folder sharing settings? ie, view and edit for both users?
Yes.
if i edit the photos with say photoshop, will the changes show up in iphoto?
If you set this up corrrectly - You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
You will need to do this in both accounts.
would timemachine back the data up automatically?
TM can be set to back up externals. There are other options too, of course.
when I upgrade to a new computer will everything work the same.
Yes. Just plug in the extenal and point iPhoto at the external from the new machine.

I am trying to convert a file from pdf. I can't see it after I hit convert to word and view converted files. How do I know if I have a subscription? Adobe is on my mac dashboard.

How do I tell if I have already paid for a membership? When I try to convert a pdf file to word, it looks like it is processing the task, but then I can't find the converted file when it says view converted file. Huh? Adobe is on my mac dashboard, I have had an account but can't see the results . . . thanks.

Hi subscription question,
I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.
Best,
Sara

How can I import an Aperture Catalog into Lightroom and retain the RAW file as well as the files with the edits?

I have several catalogs in Aperture that I would like to import to Lightroom 5 and I want to retain the original RAW files as well as the files with the edits. How can I do this?

Well, you can bring in the raw file (without edits), and you can bring in a rendered RGB file (e.g. jpeg or tiff) with edits baked in, but what you CAN'T do is bring in a raw file, with the non-destructive Aperture edits, and have Lr translate those Aperture edits into Lightroom edits.
Put another way: no raw converter/editor can understand the edits of any other raw converter/editor. So, you have to work with a rendered version, and/or re-edit from scratch in a new raw converter/editor.
PS - it would be feasible to write a rough translator which approximated raw edits in one world into edits in another, but such does not exist yet for Aperture -> Lightroom, that I know of.

Advice/Recommendation please? How to best handle big models with various schemas?

Hi
Using DM 3.3.0.747.
We have several bespoke applications, each using its own data model in separate schemas. They do share various entities/tables which are made available in a shared schema. There are references to these shared tables, etc. (e.g. foreign keys)
We want to embark on a process to reverse engineer and then maintain these applications' schemas in Data Modeller.
I would really like your views on how to best approach this. The main concern is that the bigger the design (or more models/sub-views) the slower actions like saving and loading it becomes. Once you also have it version controlled more time is added onto saving and synchronising with the sub-version repository and between team members.
The thinking is to primarily have each application (and hence its own schema) in separate designs (projects), but include tables from the shared/core schema as needed. Would this be a good/recommended approach?
How does one address potential changes made (differences introduced) that may conflict between these separate designs?
e.g. in physical model the schema becomes a user that has permissions, etc. and that same user may be in multiple designs. Each design is version controlled, but in the end only exists once in the database. If each design is synch'ed with the database, DDL generated and executed, this can cause one design to add permissions, etc. that the second DDL from the second design removes or replaces with its own?
I hope my question/scenario is clear enough. If not, please revert to me for more clarification.
Thank you & Regards

Hi Hans,
I think it's better to use DM 4.0 and have everything in one design.
1) You can import all schemas you need into one design (one relational model). Save that design - important to do it before using "remote objects" approach
2) Use "Create new models based on schema names" wizard available in context menu for relational model in browser. Wizard will create new relational model for each schema in originating model and create there tables and views that
belong to that schema. All objects in originating model become read-only "remote objects".
If table (in new model) has a foreign key that refer table in another schema (now that table is moved to another new model) then "remote object" presentation is created for referred table.
At the end you'll have one large model with read-only remote objects and set of relational models that keep the track of foreign keys between tables in different schemas in database.
You can keep the originating model (the large one) in order to have global picture or delete it.
Properties from physical model are also transferred to new models in DM 4.0.
3) Check "Show 'Select relational models' dialog" in "Preferences>Data Modeler" - upon "open design" that will bring up dialog allowing to select which model to be loaded. The choice is persisted and
applied next time you open design (no need to see that dialog again if no change in what to be loaded).
4) For each model you can create "DDL generation" configuration (one or more) and exclude remote object from generation in DDL. Permissions should be maintained in model where table is editable and where DDL for that table will be generated.
The thinking is to primarily have each application (and hence its own schema) in separate designs (projects), but include tables from the shared/core schema as needed.
I won't recommend it. I know it's possible to have remote object in another design but you'll face following problems:
1) You cannot use design level domains and definitions in data types model
2) Remote object from another design are sensible to location of that remote design. You need to maintain the same directory structure everywhere designs (all related) are checked out and they need all to be checked out before dependent design to be open
3) You need to add remote objects manually while wizard described above will do it for you in the scope of one design
The main concern is that the bigger the design (or more models/sub-views) the slower actions like saving and loading it becomes.
The number of models shouldn't be a problem with support of "Select relational models" dialog. Subviews will impact loading if only they are large and are visible when "save" is used.
Total number of objects in model doesn't impact "save' operation - only modified objects are saved.
Yes, there is overhead for versioned designs - one more reason to move to DM 4.0 - SVN client 1.7 is used there.

How to adjust catalog item sequence in CCM

Hi,
Does anybody know how to adjust catalog item sequence in CCM?
My user requested to put certain items to the top of the item list of the product category. I tried to put these items to be first items in my upload file, but when I opened the catalog from SRM, few items are on top, but some other items were moved to end of the item list. I have no idea what may impact this sequence...
Thanks and Regards,
Elly

Hello Elly,
The sequence specified from the file will be default sequence in the catalog.
The items can further be sorted by the user when they acess catalog.
Hopw this helps.

Sid

NIO- how to best transfer large binary files 200mb

Hi there,
For my dissertation I am in the process of implementing a LAN- NIO based distributed system most of it is working except I cant figure out how to best transfer large files >200mb.
1. Client registers as available
2. Server notifies that a job is available on file x
3. Client requests file x
4. Server transfers file x- without reading the whole file into memory-
5- Client does its thing and tells the server the results are ready-
6. Server requests results.
This is all implemented, except for the actual file transfers, which just wont work the way I want it. I got access to a shared drive that I could copy to and from, but Java still reads all bytes fully into memory. I did a naughty workaround of calling windows native copy command ( runtime() ) which does the trick, though I would prefer that my app did the file handling since I need to know when things are done.
Can anyone provide me with a link to an example / tutorial of how to do this, or is there a better way of transferring large files like tunneling, streaming, ftp or the old way of splitting into chunks with headers (1024 bits, byteFlip() etc) how is this usually done out there in the proper world?
I did search the forum, and found hints and tips though I thought perhaps I would see if there is a best practice for this problem--
Thanks,
Thorsan

Hi,
I have tried various approaches with out much luck, think part of the problem is I have never done file transfers in java over networks before...
At the moment I let the user select files from a JFileChooser, and store the String path+filename in a list. When a file is to be transferred I do the following:
static void copyNIO(File f, String newFile) throws Exception {
        File f2 = new File(newFile);
        FileChannel src = new FileInputStream(f).getChannel();
        FileChannel dst = new FileOutputStream(f2).getChannel();
        dst.transferFrom(src, 0, src.size());
        src.close();
        dst.close();
    }This lets me copy the file to wherever I want to without going through a socket, since I am developing in a lan environment this was ok for debugging. Though sooner or later it has to go through the network.
I have allso played around with ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream but again I just cant figure out how to inhibit my source from loading the whole file into memory. I want to read / write in blocks to keep the memory usage to a minimal.

I have a FAT 32 External Hard Drive marked as Read Only that is unchangeable by an administrator or root user, how can I make it read/Write

Hello, All,
I have a FAT 32 External Hard Drive marked as Read Only that is unchangeable by an administrator or root user, how can I make it read/Write without reformatting it ?

Hi Kappy,
Just wondering if you had any advice for my situation . . .
My time machine backup was backing up to a drive that was "Mac OS X Enteded Journaled, Case Sensitive." I had no idea what this meant, or that it would even cause issues.
I took my computer to the Apple store yesterday, and they wiped it clean. When they tried to restore it from the Time Machine backup drive, it would not work. Their guess is that Time Machine cannot restore from a drive that is "case sensitive."
Any thoughts on how I can convert my time machine backup data from a "case sensitive" state, to a "non-case sensitive" state? I've tried to just drag and drop the files from the case sensitive formatted drive to a new drive that I have that is formatted non case sensitive, but I get the following error message:
"The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup"
I just really want my data back - I thought TimeMachine was the way to go (and was supposed to work) but unfortunately it is not.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
