Curious question about Interleaf to FM9 files

I have been converting Interleaf to FM for that last couple of years. I have tried different ways of doing this and all of them work, not really any problems. I can save as aschi and down to revision 5 or can save as a rtf. I like to save down because it is cleaner. But, the last couple of times it has been very strange, and I was wondering if someone has an answer.
OK, I save down to rev 5 and go through the file and get rid of all the anchored frames...ect....just because it opens better in FM. I did this to the last two files but when I opened them in FM, ALL the anchored frames and their pictures were still there!!! Even some of the pages that I had deleted!!!...lol Our Interleaf files are not linked by reference as we do the FM files. In Interleaf, the rev 5 file opens clean, none of the things deleted are there, but in FM every thing is still there.
How in the world is that happening? It's not really a problem. I can get rid of everything through FM. I just would like to know how FM sees pages and pictures that aren't there anymore.
Thanks,
ls

Thanks Sheila, I think you are correct. I can remember some of the files even holding old
logos and things. I will look around and see if there is anyway to keep the files from coming over
to FM.

donrulz,
Are your Edit>Color Settings the same?
Are you using spot colours, such as Pantone (there have been some changes in CMYK values with new colour books)?

Question about RAW to JPG file sizes

Hello all, I have a question/concern in reference to file size changes when converting from RAW to JPG formats in PSE6. I've recently purchased a CANON 50D, and have started shooting in RAW format (actually RAW2+JPG). I have the CAMERA RAW 5.2 plugin and my workflow process is something akin to this:
1. Separate all RAW and JPG images into their respective folders.
2. Open the RAW folder in BRIDGE, and then open up a CR2 file. CR2 file is approx 15MB at this point, as reported in Finder.
3. Perform various corrections in ACR52 to the file, then do as SAVE AS to a DNG file.
4. Next step is to OPEN IMAGE, bringing it up in PSE6.
5. Make any necessary corrections to the picture, and then do a SAVE AS to a new file name and folder, selecting JPG format.
6. Selection MAX QUALITY from subsequent dialogue box, and SAVE.
When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
I've been doing some reading on this over the weekend, but cant explain away the severe loss in file size, and whether this is right, or if I'm doing something wrong in the process.
Appreciate any advice or suggestions to help improve my work processes, and ultimately the final photos!

Regarding your file size questions, have a look at this thread and see if it answers some of your questions:
http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/741532/0
> When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
Dimensions and resolution are related and multiple combinations can be produced from the same number of pixels. For example, your 50D at maximum image size produces 4,752 by 3,168 pixels. This full-size image could be printed at:
- 19.8 x 13.2 inches at 240 PPI
- 47.52 x 31.68 inches at 100 PPI
- 7.92 x 5.28 inches at 600 PPI
As you can maybe see, talking about dimensions and resolution doesn't make much sense until you are ready to consider printing. Note also that I used "PPI" or Pixels Per Inch since this is the slightly more correct terminology. DPI or "Dots Per Inch" is usually a reference to how a printer lays down the ink drops onto the paper. Many printers actually put more "dots" on the paper than there are pixels. Many people and companies use DPI when they mean PPI.
Now in your case you are apparently starting with an SRAW2 raw file. SRAW2 files from the 50D have a reduced number of pixels and are 2,276 pixels wide by 1,584 pixels high. At 240 PPI this would allow you to print the image at 9.9 by 6.6 inches. If you are ending up with something smaller than that, it means you have either re-sampled the image (changed the image so the same image is displayed with fewer pixels) or you have cropped the image.
Hope that helps.

Question about webservice and wsdl file

Hi All.
I have this scenario , the customer wants to send some information as they happen
The customer wants to use a web service to our database(JDBC)
I understand that from this requirement , I have to develop the Object in PI , and create the wsdl file to send it to the customer , this wsdl file will have the URL and other information for the consuming of the webservice.
Now the weired thing is the customer insists that we should use their wsdl file , I am confused about this , I understand that when the customer send their wsdl file , it is because they will act as a receiver to our request , right ?
but if they want to act as sender , then the wsdl file should be sent from PI side based on the configuration.
My question is it possible to create a scenario based on the cunstomer wsdl file eventhough the customer is the sender .
if so what and how the URL will be.
Thanks.

Question about Java Applet Jar file signing.

These questions pertain to Java 6 Standard Edition 1.6.0_22-b04 and later.
I have gone through the Oracle Java Tutorial for generate public and private key information
to sign a jar file, and how to sign the jar itself, all at
[http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html|http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html]
, and seek some clarification on the following related questions:
-In order to "escape" the java applet sandbox that exists around the client's
copy of the applet running in their web browser, ie.
(something forbidden by default), is verification of the signed applet enough, or is a policy file required
to stipulate these details?
-using the policytool policy file generator, what do I need to add under "Principals"
(if anything) when dealing with a Java applet? Are Codebase and SignedBy simply author information?
-If I choose to use a java.security.Permission subclass object set up in equivalent fashion within the Applet,
which class within the Applet jar do I instantiate that object in? Does it need to be mentioned
in the applet's jar Manifest.MF file?
-Is the "keystore database" a java language service/process which runs in
the Server's memory and is simply accessed and started by default
by the client verifier program (appletview/web browser)?
-The public key certificate file (*.cer) is put in the webserver directory holding
the Applet jar file (ie. Apache Tomcat, for example).
-Presumably, the web browser detects the signed jar
and certificate file, and provides the browser pop up menu asking the user
about a new, non recognised certificate (initially).
Is this so?
-With this being the case, can the applet now escape
the sandbox, be it with or without the stipulated
policy permissions?

Curious question about tab key selecting?

I'm not sure how to word this query so try to bare with me.
I sometimes use the tab key to select the next file or folder instead of the arrow keys, but I've noticed that when I have a series of folders and/or files that are in numerical order, the tab key doesn't select the files and folders in the order that they are listed it selects them in a order that is similar to alphabetical order.
Such as this:
This is an example of the file names and the numerical order they're listed in:
9
28
29
30
40
300
2006
2025
A
This is the order the tab selects the same files:
2006
2025
28
29
30
300
40
9
A
If the 9 file is selected then I hit tab key to select the next file, the next files selected is A it will skip over the other files. The arrow Keys don't do this.
My question is why is this the case?
Not really a big deal but I was curious why it does that.

You are correct for the use you've described - using tab in list view, also in icon view. The tab key moves in alpha-numeric sequence but the numeric is by 1st numeral, 2nd numeral, etc if two or more have the same first numeral not by total number size.
The arrow keys are essentially directional. In icon view you use L/R to move to the next item and up/down to move vertically.
This is the standard use but individual applications use these keys differently. In a table/database it's common for the tab to move from cell to cell and the arrow keys to move through the characters in a cell but even these can depend on the particular software package.
This is all part of the learning curve for computer users!

Question about printing and sorting files

What I'm trying to do is read in a file of names (about a thousand) sort them using a sort alorithim then print out the sorted file of names, as well a separate chart with the number of compares and swaps . My Sort class has different sorting algorithims, like insertion, bubble etc. Everything I have now works fine. But the way its set up now I have to pick one algorithim at a time, then it sorts then prints the results like this:
Bubble Sort
Compares : 2016
Swaps : 1052.
Now if I want to choose anothert algorithim, I'll have to manualy do that then run Main again then apend the results to the output file. But I would like run Main once opening the file that needs to be sorted then run one algorithim, calc the results, then do that again for another algorithim calc the results, then when I'm finished with all the algorithims, print all the results at once to the output chart. This so the output will look better, and the user won't have repeatedly run the program to see and compare the results.
Is this even possible, and if so, any ideas how?
This is the main console, which put the names in a array list, then sorts
them
public class SortyFile {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
           BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:/Documents and Settings/Cougar/" +
               "Desktop/names.txt"));
           PrintWriter Output_Chart
                = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("C:/Documents and Settings/Cougar/" +
                  "Desktop/Output Chart2.txt" , true)));
           PrintWriter Output_Sorted_File
                = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("C:/Documents and Settings/Cougar/" +
                       "Desktop/Sorted File2.txt")));
           ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
           String line = null;
           while ((line = r.readLine()) != null)
                a.add(line);
                Sort.bubbleSort(a);
              Output_Chart.println("");
              Output_Chart.println(Sort.algoname);
              Output_Chart.println("");
              Output_Chart.println("Compares :" + "   " + Sort.compares);
              Output_Chart.println("Swaps :" + "      " + Sort.swaps);
              Output_Chart.println("");
              for (int i=0; i<a.size(); i++){
                   Output_Sorted_File.println(a.get(i));
                   System.out.println(a.get(i));
           Output_Chart.close();
           Output_Sorted_File.close();
This is the class with different sorting algorithims, the variable algoname is use for printing the header on the output chart.
public class Sort {
    static int swaps = 0;
    static int compares = 0;
    static String algoname; // name for the algorithim
    public static void swap(List data, int least, int i) {
          Object tmp = data.get(least);
          data.set(least, data.get(i));
          data.set(i, tmp);
     public static void bubbleSort(List data)
        for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++)
            for(int j = i+1; j < data.size(); j++)
                Comparable current = (Comparable) data.get(j);
                Comparable previous = (Comparable) data.get(i);
                compares++;
                if (current.compareTo(previous) < 0)
                    data.set(j, previous);
                    data.set(i, current);
                    swaps++;
        algoname = "Bubble Sort";
      public static void selectionSort (List data)
           int i,j, least;
           final int size = data.size();
           for (i = 0; i < size - 1; i++)
              for (j = i+1, least = i; j < size; j++)
                   compares++;
             if (((((Comparable) (data.get(j))).compareTo(data.get(least)))) < 0)
                  least = j;
                  swap(data,least,i);
                  swaps++;
           algoname = "Selection Sort";
      public static void insertionSort (List data)
             Comparable tmp;
          int i, j;
             for(i = 1; i < data.size(); i++)
                  tmp = (Comparable)data.get(i);
                   for(j = i; (j > 0) && (tmp.compareTo(data.get(j - 1)) < 0) ; j--){
                   compares++;
                   data.set(j, data.get(j - 1)) ;
                   data.set(j, tmp) ;
                  swaps++;
             algoname = "Insertion Sort";
}

Maybe Im misunderstanding your question, but couldnt
you just run the bubbleSort() method, then the
insertionSort() method, and so on? You would do this
in your main method.Yeah I tried that but for odd reason I get this for the results
Bubble Sort
Compares : 2016
Swaps : 1052
Selection Sort
Compares : 2016
Swaps : 1052
The results for both algorthims are exactly the same.

How can I recover deleted folders - also - question about editing/deleting msf files

Context: My wife accidentally deleted a series of folders from Thunderbird v.24.6.0
She says that the system warned her that there was "not enough space" or something like that (she doesn't remember clearly) and asked her if she wanted to "delete them permanently" (or something like that), but she pressed "yes" anyway. She then freaked out, and when I came in to see what she was screaming and crying about, she told me the above story.
SO, after spending the last 2-3 hours reading through help articles and finding my local Mail file/structure, learning about Mork and msf and compacting and X-Mozilla-Status codes, downloading Notepad++ and poking around through some of the files to familiarize myself with their format ... here I am trying to learn how to restore the folders.
Here is where I am at so far:
1. When I went to the Activity Manager, it shows the folders that were deleted, one below the others in a list with the title "Deleted folder foldername" with a dozen different folder names.
2. When I look for the one of the folders that was deleted in the Mail/path/foldername" - I open it (the one without the file extension) in notepad++ and it is empty. There only exists line 1 and there is no text in it (vs. the other folders I check that have the emails in standard From_line format.
This concerns me greatly and leaves me stuck. Did TB actually delete and compact the folder? Are they really deleted, not just X-Mozilla-Status deleted?
3. I don't understand how to restore a folder. I know I can go into a folder and change the X-Mozilla-Status for individual messages - but how to I restore the entire folder? I don't understand how the msf related to the deleted files/folders. It seems like there would be an entry/code somewhere that tells TB - "don't read this entire folder" that I could reverse/edit. I can't figure it out on my own.
4. I understand that, if I delete the foldername.msf file, TB will compact the foldername file. I think I should NOT do this because it will permanently delete the files I want to restore - right?
Any help would be appreciated. I have an unhappy wife. Thank you.

The message she garbled I would assume is that the deletions were to large and that the deleted folder would be bypassed. So all the normal recovery from the trash is simply not possible. There is no Thunderbird magic available unfortunately. So your reduced to using operating system undelete software. I have no idea how that will go, but I just downloaded this http://ntfsundelete.com/download and it does appears to do the job, even if the close text is so pale as to be hard to see.

A few questions about using an XML file to add text into a TextArea component set as html

I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.
I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?
Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried and   without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.

flash doesn't handle nested lists (as you now know). you can work-around that limitation using css and creating your own indent styles. css have a marginLeft property you can use.

Question about Adding External Storage/File Management

I am using LR5.2 on mid-2011 MBA. Before long I will run out of space on the HD. I have one catalog of about 16K photos. I would like to purchase external hard drive for additional storage. I use Time Machine for backup. What is the best way to manage the additional storage and keep the catalog intact?
1) I currently have photos organized by date? i.e., Pictures/2013/2013-10-10/ etc. Should I keep this file organization as it is and then when importing new photos, select 'copy' from SD card and select 'Location' as new external drive?
OR
2) Should I move all photos to new backup drive to keep all files stored together? Would this be better for long term file management?
Any recommendations for best practices? Or is there a better to organize photos for current and future use?
Also, does the catalog stay in the same location under either 1) or 2)
Thanks in advance

I would suggest creating a root folder on the EHD. You will need to keep your EHD connected when working with Lightroom. It will show up like your Mac HD with the green light in the left hand panel.
Leave everything where it is for the time being but you may want to drag older folders to the EHD over time, as importing new photos, generating previews and using the develop module will usually be faster on the main flash drive of the MBA.
Don’t use Finder to move files/folders around. Always use the Lightroom Library and the database of files and your develop settings (catalog) will not get corrupted.

Question about using a shared file

Please feel free to jerk my chain to the right fire hydrant, if I'm in the wrong spot for this question?
Supposing I want to "share" an excel file located on my server with a work group, and I want to "Admin" cells (add a number, in order to perform a calculation within the spreadsheet) from a remote location via a hand held device with an internet connection, such as a routine inventory of stock. Is this feasable? Could I do this with an iPhone, or some other hand held device?

Possible? maybe, but it's a lot of work.
For one, the iPhone can open Excel documents, but it can't edit them. Some Windows Mobile-based devices may be able to but IMHO this is the wrong approach.
Excel is great for single-user applications. It falls down when you want multiple people to maintain the data. For example - what happens when someone in the office is using the file and your mobile device (whatever that may be) opens the file to make changes? If it even lets you you're almost certainly going to corrupt the file since the office user won't notice the changes you make remotely.
So for any kind of dynamic data a database-based approach would be better. Some databases include web-based front-ends (so anyone with a web browser can view/edit the data), others have support from multiple script languages such as Perl, PHP, Java, etc. that let you develop your own web front-end.
For the users that are familiar with Excel, even Excel can pull data from a database to populate the worksheet.

Questions about updating linked .ai files

I have two questions regarding linked images.
(1) Sometimes when I make changes to an .ai file, the InDesign document will automatically update the image as soon as I save the changes in Illustrator. In other words, I do not need to update the link in the ID links panel. Other times, however, the link will not update, and I have to click the yellow triangle next to the image in the links panel to see the changes. Is there a reason why this happens, and is there an easier way to update images than the links panel. In Quark, I could just double-click on the image and a dialog box would ask if I wanted to update the image. This isn't a big deal to me, but I thought I'd ask.
(2) Whenever I make a change to an .ai file, the linked image in InDesign always re-scales, and I can't figure out why it does so or how to make it stop doing this. For example, I placed a bar chart made in Illustrator in a frame and adjusted its +x and +y values. It came in at 100% scale and I did not change that. Then, I had to make a change to a text label on the chart, which made the graph slightly smaller. When I updated the link in InDesign, it was re-scaled to 118.12%. I had to go into the +x field in the control bar and type in 100% to get it back to the scale it was before. Is there a default setting I need to uncheck to turn this feature off? If not, is there by chance a simple keystroke that will let me re-scale the image quickly?
Thanks in advance for your help!

1. It sounds like you sometimes select the art or thename of the link and choose "edit original" and sometimes you just open the art and make changes. If you tell ID to edit original it updates at the save.
2. There are two options, depending on version, for the relink behavior and scaling. In CS5 (and CS4 if I remember correctly), you have a choice between them inthe prefs, in earlier versions it's one or the other, depending onthe version. One option is to preserve the dimensions, which is wha'ts happening to you. The other is to preserve the scale. Exactly how preserving dimensions behaves depends, too on the cropping options you used when placing the .ai file. If you cropped to aret or bounding box, for example, changing the size of the art or removing a stray point affects the art or bounding box, but cropping to media would not change.

Question about classpath and jar file

I have a jar file (actually jhall.jar, the java help jar file). How do I uses its classes if I don't want to add it to the classpath. Currently, I have the jar file in the same directory as all my other classes.

it simply adds secondjar.jar into firstjar.jar, rather
than extracting secondjar.jar's files and put it into
firstjar.jar. How would I be able to do that?Don't do either of them. Distribute the two jar files separately, and in the manifest of the one which is meant to be your executable jar file, put a Class-Path: entry that refers to the other one. Look at the latter parts of the tutorial about jar files:

Curious question about Lightroom previews and Camera Raw Cache

Posted in the Flickr Lightroom Group as well:
I have noticed something about the Lightroom (3.6) previews and Camera Raw cache that have me puzzled.
I create a brand new empty catalog and purge the Camera Raw Cache.
Then I import ONE Nikon RAW (NEF) file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 megapixels - 10,036,224 pixels).
Next I export that NEF file to an uncompressed 8-bit TIFF file. You would expect the size of that TIFF file to be roughly 30 megabytes (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is 30,135,830 bytes in size. If you export the same TIFF file but specify ZIP compression the resulting file size is 10,834,038 bytes. Obviously the compression obtained here is going to be highly specific to the image but so far no surprises.
During import I specify render 1:1 previews and I go into Loupe mode and view the entire image at 1:1 size. I also visit the develop module and do a bunch of manipulations on the image but no cropping.
At the conclusion of all of that I exit from Lightroom and examine the size of the Camera Raw Cache folder as well as the Lightroom previews folder. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a rendered full image and that the Camera Raw Cache should also have a rendered form of the raw data. What would you expect the size of those respective folders to be?
In fact - in my trials the previews folder totals a mere 1,675,264 bytes and the Camera Raw Cache which contains one DAT file corresponding to the one cached image is merely 267,374 bytes. This does not seem like nearly enough bits to preserve the rendered image nor is there a full size image tucked away in the actual catalog either - that file is not large enough to contain that. And yet I can use Loupe mode at 1:1 size and move from image to image with no loading delays (even when importing multiple files).
I'm wondering if I've missed something obvious in my analysis and if not, whether someone might care to speculate as to what magic Adobe is practicing here. Even if we grant them some special algorithm to compress their previews I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much greater than the ZIP-compressed TIFF file achieves.
And for those that might think to ask - I've repeated these experiments with multiple raw images and on both the PC and MAC platforms.
I look forward to some answers or interesting theories or perhaps someone might replicate the experiment and report findings.

MadMan and Hal - thanks so much.
So that was my D'Oh moment of what I was missing - the use of re-rendered JPGS as previews. That certainly does fit with the file sizes I am seeing. I had naively assumed that the previews might have tried to preserve the full fidelity of the image - But as you suggest that full fidelity is likely only there in the develop module.
This perhaps explains another observation from the Develop module - moving from one image to another might display "Loading" either briefly or across a longer duration. My guess is that the length of the loading process might have to do more with what is cached in RAM than cached on disk in the camera raw cache. More of a shame then that 64-bit Lightroom on 64-Bit Windows cannot grab more RAM than it seems to do at present.

Question about how XI process files in FTP

Hi experts,
I have a file-FTP to JDBC scenario.
XI scans a folder every minute to see if any file has appear.
My question is, does XI process the files in their order of creation, or randomly ?
If not, is there a way to make XI process them in order of creation ?
Thanks a lot, any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Jamal

Hi,
from SAP Help:
If you select files from an FTP server and not from the file system, you need to make the following additional specifications:
○       ftp.host=<ftp-server>
The host name or IP address of the FTP server. If this specification is made, it is assumed that you are accessing an FTP server. The specifications file.sourceDir and file.sourceFileName then refer to the FTP server. The following are then not possible specifications:
■       setAttribute for parameter file.processingMode.
■       byDate for parameter file.processingOrder.
Regards
Patrick
