Counting actual masters located in a project

I have a massive collection of images and something that is difficult is making sure no image gets accidentally deleted.
I want to automatically be able to see the count of how many images are located in a project (AND are not part of another project). As far as I know, Aperture keeps images in projects. Albums inside a project can contain images whose project path is in a different project. This makes counting unique images in each project difficult as there is double counting.
How do I do this, without making it a manual text query in a smart album, for each project name?
I've tried finding just for masters but that includes masters from a different project path.
I've tried doing it via project path, but this requires me to do it manually for each project.
Is there a way to get a constant accurate count of actual images in each project.
Separately, is there a way to easily capture/grab just that data periodically (eg, at the end of each day, get the counts from each project and folder) so that one can compare changes from the previous period?
Thanks!

1- does this same thing apply to trash? ie is trash considered a project.
The trash is not a project. It's more like a folder. The images remain in their project and the project remains in place (in the library package) until the trash is emptied. (That also explains why the path doesn't change.)
So when i've trashed a bunch of projects and albums, the count is huge which is misleading because it lists the count of images that aren't actually in the trash. Also the project path in trash shows the original non deleted project. I assume that when I empty trash, it doesn't delete those images?
Images that have been deleted from projects or are in deleted projects will be deleted. Images that have been deleted from albums or are in deleted albums will not be deleted.
It's not misleading at all: the total number of images in the trash are reflected by the number next to the trash. Note in the screen shot that there's an album in the trash that shows 125 images, a project in the trash that shows 4 images and that the trash indicates that there are only 4 images in the trash. Only four images will be deleted, and you can click on trash and see exactly which images will be deleted.

If you click on an album in the trash, you will get this message:
!http://dlsphoto.com/a3trash3c.jpg!
2- If I have dozens of projects, how do I get an effective count of all my images without doing a manual count of each project?
Simply click on the built in album that shows all photos, make sure the filter is clear and the image count will be displayed at the bottom of the browser.
when I click on a folder, it seems to double count (images in albums but from other projects).
That's not correct: if you click a folder full of projects, the total number of images will be displayed will be displayed at the bottom of the browser just like the photos album.
3- It's a pity there isn't a simple way of exporting the hierarchy of folders and albums and projects somewhere with the numbers into excel or txt or something for future checking.

How to change actual effort in project plan when Projected Actual option is enable in Project Server 2010

Hi,
We have enable "Protect User Updates" option from PWA->Task Setting and Display->Only allow task updates via Task and Timesheets, to protect actual efforts in project plan that PM changes manually, however in some cases we need to allow actual
effort changes in open projects so it there any way or workaround so that Administrator or PM can make changes in actual even though "Protect User Updates" option is enable. Please Help!!
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Indeed when this option is activated, there is no way to directly update actual work in the project plan.
The workaround is to temporary deactivate this option, more preferly not during office working hours to avoid unexpected project updates.
A better workaround would be to ask the resource to recall, correct and submit again the timesheet, so the PM can approve an updated actual work. Finally the PM can use delegation to rscall and correct the timesheet for the resource.
Hope this helps.

Can you save system settings scratch disks locations for each project?

When you begin a new project in FCE you need to set the System Settings Scratch Disks. Typically you would set a new folder for each project to keep all of your files for each project in one location for that project.
I have a couple of FCE projects going at the same time. I've set each project with a different system setting scratch disk location. But if I open a project which should have a unique scratch disk location folder that I've already set before for that project, it ignores the setting I set for that project and just shows the scratch disk setting for the last project opened instead. It does not appear to save or remember the unique setting for that project.
If you have multiple projects going at the same time, is there a way to save the systems settings scratch disk location for each project and have FCE remember that location for each project?

I turned off the Open Last Project on Application Launch in the User Preferences and it still does not remember the unique scratch disk settings for each project.
Since it is quite common to be working on multiple projects simultaneously, you would think that there would be a way in which to save the settings for each project to help keep all related files better organized.
Any other suggestions?

How to count of Functional Locations

Hello Experts,
Could you please advise me how to count a Functional Locations in Plant Maintenance module?
I would like to find and amount of Functional Locations which are::
1. Assigned for particular plant
2. In status Active
3. In status inactive
4. In status Deletion flag
I was trying to perform this by search in table IFLO but there is no way to filter by statuses and I'm not sure if this table is a good place for such query because the amount of FLocs was much more higher than I expected.
Thanks in advance for valuable answers:
Lukasz Kurlit

Hi Lukasz
Indeed you can use IH06 to get Functional Location's List with your classification.
so, to get the information about the sum of it, I admit there is no a real function to count the Functional Locations, but you can do as follow :
1. Get The List of your classification with IH06, then
2. Get the sum of your classification by click on 'Spreadsheet' or press 'Shift + F4' from your keyboard
(Just like to export the list into spreadsheet)
3. They will give you the information about the sum of the list you want to export.
I hope it can be a help for you.

Positioning an image in the same location on different projects? (CS5)

Hello,
Is there a way to position an image in the same location on multiple projects aside from trying to use the rulers? I can never get them to match up evenly. They're close, but there has to be a way to make it match perfectly.

If you have a few to do, you can create an action so it will speed up the process.
To create this action.
(With the document open)
Start a new recording
File - Place - select your logo (tiff, png, jpg etc)
This will put the logo into the center of your document, press enter to comfirm the selection.
Select - All (or ctrl/a)
Layer - Align Layers to Selection - Top Edges (or where ever you want)
Layer - Align Layers to Selection - Left Edges (or where ever you want)
Your logo is now in the top left of your document
Select the Move tool (v)
Now to put it exactly where you want use the cursor keys
One press of the cursor key = 1 pixel
Shift and cursor key = 10 pixels
Once you have the logo where you want ctrl/d to deselect then stop the recording.

Joining Actuals and Planned Work from Project Server

Hi,
I have an SQL based query which returns Actuals and Planned work from Project Server; however a number of records (generally generic resources based on the ResourceIsGeneric column) are excluded. I believe this is because my Actuals query does not return
generic resources as we are joining both sides of the query on ResourceUID. I have included a snippet below - is there a way to join Actuals and Planned work so I can return all Resource data?
Thanks

Updating the photo count for multiple locations of the same keyword

Is it possible to use a keyword on a photo but have it update other copies of the same keyword in lightroom 2.4? I would like to have linked keywords if this is possible.
To help understand this better, here is a rough example or what I would like to do.
I want a generic list of players which in its entirety will contain thousands of names. Then I also want to break those players down into their respective teams/leagues that they played on. This will make the list of players easier to manage when I only have to deal with one team at a time. I also want to seperate by seasons but that is too much for this example. So in my example I have a player who has played in both the AHL and NHL (Daniel Briere).
Now when I am going through my Flyers photos, I want to keyword a Briere photo. So I drag over the NHL/Philadelphia Flyers/Briere, Daniel keyword. So this gives that keyword a count of 1. I also would like the Briere keyword under Players get updated with a 1. Right now, it won't. How can I link those two? Also, when I go into my Phantoms photos, I see another picture of Briere, I would want to drag over the Teams/AHL/Philadelphia Phantoms/ Briere, Daniel keyword. This would in return update that keyword with a count of 1 and update the Players/Briere, Daniel keyword with a 2 since I now have a single NHL and a single AHL photo of him. Of course I need this behavior to be hierarchial. So if I have a photo of Briere in street clothes, I would want to use the Players/Briere, Daniel keyword. This would then give me a count of 3 but it won't updated the values in NHL and AHL keywords since the Players keyword is in a higher/different location.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Bob
P.S. If I made this too confusing, please let me know and I'll try to explain better.
example of what my keyword list would look like:
Players
    Briere, Daniel
Teams
    NHL
        Philadelphia Flyers
            Briere, Daniel
    AHL
        Philadelphia Phantoms
            Briere, Daniel

You cannot link keywords as you want. Each of those keywords is independent - they just share the same text.
You can create smart collections which group all occurrences of that name. This is obviously duplication, so you would do it only when you need.
I suggest you don't try to get too clever with using your keyword hierarchy to represent teams. Instead, use one keyword per individual person, a separate one for each team.You could have a top level keyword teams, and another for people, but don't structure things as you suggest as it leads to confusion about people. When you need to look at one team, use a smart collection that looks for images with Team X, Shot in year Y - the Library Filter will then break the items down by keyword.

Where is the .m2v menu file located for saved projects?

Hi, i've done this before, but seem to have forgotten...I was wondering where is the location of the .m2v files of a saved project. The reason why i would like to find the .m2v file, is so i could convert the .m2v to .dv in order to create a menu on motion. From my remembering, the menu file could possibly be under the project file under "show package contents", but i seem to not have any success of looking for it recently. Can anyone help verify where the menu files are located?
thanks for your time.

i've burned the project and looked at the contents of the dvd and found a file with a .evo extension, would this have any relation to my question?

evo is HD DVD file, not SD, so this may not apply (and you probably want to double check your project settings.)
The items that DVD SP makes are in the PAR & MPEG files in a folder in the level where the assets are located, and if you do the show package contents on the project and look in the Render Data Folder what you are looking for should be there (when DVD SP has to render, there are some times it will not have to render)- Check out the manual DVD SP 4 (Pg 230 of the PDF) for certain instances (not all) where menus willl have to be compiled/rendered
To do the show packkage http://dvdstepbystep.com/ira/ shows how to do it, just Highlight the DVD SP saved project (instead of the app intself) as shown in Step 1 on that link, then drill down

I back up my iphone onto itunes on my laptop. I've now got a new laptop, which counts at two locations. This new laptop had to be setup again. Apple says this is three locations. How can I get it changed to two locations?

I backup my iphone onto itunes on my laptop. Recently I got a new laptop, so that counts at two itunes locations.
Unfortunately this new laptop was faulty and had to be set up again from scratch.
Apple now says that's three itunes locations when in fact it's two.
How can I get this changed back to two locations?

If by locations you mean "authorized computers" then one of your computers (apparently the new laptop) may be using multiple authorizations.

How can i get difference in base plan and actual/current plan for a project

Hi PS Experts,
How can i get difference in base plan and actual plan .
For example-
Project1 is created for 10 days (start and end date difference).
Now in between -project is extended/changed for 12 days .
What is the way to get 2 days as a difference in base plan and current plan.
Thanks
Suraj prakash

Hi Suraj,
You can follow a convention that -
(1) Forecast Start/Finish dates: Used only for Primary planning, once initial planning is done you should not change these dates.
Now, you will copy the same dates in Basic Start/Finish dates also.
(2) Basic Start/Finish dates: Whatever changes are done after the initial planning, you will make the changes only in Basic Start/Finish dates.
So, in Project Planning board, if you enable Forecast and Basic dates with different color coding, you can clearly see the variation in the Project schedule.
Hope this helps.

How do I set a default directory location for opening projects?

Hi there.
Using Windows 7.
What I mean is when I click on Open Project I want it to always go to the same location, namely C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0\Projects
Each time I try to open a Project it seems to always go to some other random directory in My Docs.
I've looked for this in Preferences but cannot locate it.
Any ideas?

I just tested the Open Project function, and it appears to default to the location of the last project you had opened.
That said, I don't recommend saving project, or anything associated with your project, on the C: drive.
Adobe recommends a dedicated drive for video editing, and I've always saved my projects and all associated media on that separate drive. Not a big fan of the "My Documents" folders. Sure you can access them from the desktop, to a degree, but when in the Windows Explorer, stuff is buried too many folder down for my tastes. Makes it difficult to locate files later on.
I have a drive V: for video and will create a New Folder there when starting a new project. The Project gets saved there, as well as an video, audio, graphics, etc., and I do create sub-folders to organize those assets as inside the main folder.
Thanks

Actual file location of Generic PCL printer driver

I am trying to find the actual file for the Generic PCL printer driver (.ppd or.gz file). I've seen other discussions mention file paths that don't seem to exist in Mavericks. Does anyone know where this file is actually located in 10.9?
Thanks.

That is where I started. However, after some more searching online I was able to find that opening Terminal and typing "
open /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ PrintCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/" (no quotes) will open the folder containing the Generic.ppd file for the Generic PostScript Printer (apparently some of those directories still aren't visible after showing hidden files). I still haven't found the Generic PCL Printer file.

What's actually IN a saved iDVD project?

After upgrading to iLife '06, I wanted to burn a new copy of an iMovie project I first put on iDVD a few weeks ago. I've never done this before; always burned all copies at once.
When I open the named/saved iDVD project (both from within Documents and via Open Recent), it shows me empty Drop Zones and a blank menu. Where's the theme/audio etc. I put together when I first created the project?
Thanks.

It is easiest to duplicate a video-DVD with Toast (i.e. a 3rd party app).
With the Disk Utility it is very easy to accidentally burn a data-DVD (instead of a video-DVD), so follow these instructions strictly:
- Using Disk Utility (Mac OS X 10.3 and higher):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
1. Insert the DVD-R video disc that you created with iDVD into the SuperDrive.
2. Open the Disk Utility application (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility).
3. Select the disc (not just the disc session) you want to copy from the listing.
4. From the Images menu, choose New and the choose Image from "your disk name".
5. Type a file name and choose "DVD/CD Master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.
6. Click the Create button. After the image has been created you should see it in the disk listing in the Disk Utility window.
7. Eject the DVD-R video disc.
8. Select the disk image you created from the listing (that *.img is also mounted on the Desktop).
9. Click the Burn icon in the toolbar.
10. When prompted, insert a blank DVD-R disc.
11. Click the Burn button.
