Dealing with image duplicates and duplicated projects, albums & foldersies; repeated

I'm a relative new user of Aperture and need help on several recent issues:
(1) Reimported Images. Over the last couple of months, Aperture has been re-importing images previously imported (despite my having selected the no duplicates button). I store all new imports in the Aperture library.
I haven't set up any vaults yet, however I have an external hard-drive to which my entire mac is backed up daily, especially my images. Doubt this is relevant but wanted to mention it, in case.
I now have multiple duplicates scattered throughout the photos file, most often each with a different file name (the img #). Of course the Find function doesn't seem to have an option to search for duplicates. Can't see that option elsewhere. Maybe I'm overlooking it?
When I come across duplicates, I'd like to delete the extras, but am afraid of deleting 'the' Master.
I've tried to find a path to direct me to the master, but searches in the forum seem to say that's not possible or desirable.
Should I just arbitrarily delete several of the extras to cut down on this duplication?
In addition, while organizing my photos and projects into a series of subject categories, I noticed all of a sudden that a portion of the project list was duplicated folder for folder, project for project and album for album. I have tried unsuccessfly to consolidate the contents of duplicate folders or projects, but Aperture won't permit that. I've also tried deleting one of the series of duplicates, only to find all affected files were deleted -- the ones I intended to save and the ones I was trying to delete.
How and why does this happen? And how do I remedy the problem?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I think you should give Repair Database a shot. Of course, you should have at least one good back up before proceeding.
Duplicate images can have many causes, but file structure ghosts are usually a database problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
"Repair Database
Sometimes internal structures within the library may become damaged and cause unexpected behavior; you can use Repair Database to try to correct the issue. Select the option to Repair Database then click the Repair button."
BTW: Aperture uses more than file names to identify duplicate images.

How to deal with images when detecting/resizing screen?

Hi there,
I am trying to learn how to detect screen resolution and
resize a flash movie to those dimensions. The one thing I'm
wondering first is, how to deal with images in the movie.
Do I need a variety of different movie sizes that I serve up
depending on the resolution, or is there some way of linking to
higher rez image that can be scaled down to fit the screen?
Thanks!

as far as I know this has always been a bit of an issue when
using
images inside a scaled movie. If you display a high res image
inside a
scaled down movie, flash can't "reoptimize" it so the image
looks
jagged. Of course the other way around is even worse..
Serving images based on the screen res could be possible if
you detect
it using javascript but could be a night mare to maintain and
test it...
I guess the questions I would ask myselkf are:
1. what is my audience? What resolution the majority of them
will have?
2. Is there anyway I can keep the image size fixed, and scale
to fit he
rest of the design?
3. How much time do I have to implement the customized
version?
It really depends on your project..but to answer to your
quuestion yes
you can detect.
http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jscreen.htm
and your flash will have to interpret and load images from
different
directories based on the var passed

I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

Hello,
As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
Thank you for any help.

How to deal with images stored in oracle

hi,
can anyone help me to solve this issue please:
in fact i am developping a swing based standalone application based on a TCP/IP client-server connection, so the point is to display on my frame for each student his information and also his personal picture
first step : storing the personal picture into the oracle database from a specefic frame that allows to specify each NEW student's profile and his photo.
step 2: as needed, a specefic frame allows to retrieve all the information related to a student and his photo to ( in a jlabel or other swing componenet)
how to deal with this storing and then the retriving from the oracle DB
any help please!

If I understand well your problem, you need your client java application to store and retrive information from an oracle DB.
This can be done via JDBC.
Here's the tutorial:

Look at

for storing and retriving binary data (like java serialized objects (Images for example))

Procedure or Function that send E-mail with image background and file attached

hi
I4d like know if someone there is a procedure or function that send E-mail with image background and file attached, for me.
thanks
Josi Vieira

If you go to this part of OTN you will find the official Oracle UTL_SMTP demo, which includes attachments:
http://technet.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/Utl_Smtp_Sample.html
Getting a background is slightly trickier. The UTL_SMTP package is for primarily sending text e-mails, whereas images require HTML e-mail. I suggest you look at the structure of a sample HTML e-mail and see if you can write the necessary HTML strings in the DATA parameter. Otherwise you'll need to investigate handcrafting a program based on the UTL_TCP package.
[rant]
If this seems like a lot of trouble I agree and urge you not to bother. HTML e-mail is one of the curses of the modern age, not least because it is frequently used by purveyors of viruses. I have a filter on my Outlook client that strips out all the HTML in any e-mail I receive, which means I get lots of e-mails rendered unreadable by the inclusion of <HTML> tags. But who cares, they're mostly spam anyway. In fact, the use of HTML in an e-mail is almost always an indicator of the irrelevance of its content.

HT201210 I did everything to deal with "error 21" and still doesn't work.

My iphone still with the image in front "connect to itunes". I dont know why, because I did everything about the resolution of "error 21". Please somebody help me to deal with it.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 since you have tried everything. The link states that it could be a hardware problem and may require service. So you will need to make an appointment with Apple and take your phone in and have the Genius Bar take a look at it.

Bug with swc folders and library projects?

Hi guys, hope someone can help here. We are just in the
process of starting a fairly large flex project and we were trying
to work out a solution so that I as a designer can view and edit
custom components with visual styles applied.
Now I know that you aren't meant to add a style tag into the
component but it was working for me and I could at least preview
the styles in 'design mode'.
The problem arises though when you have a large project with
shared assets across projects. I had 3 projects set up in my
workspace:
Project 1: Library project with css files, swc and graphics
Project 2: Library project with components for Project 3
Application
Project 3: Application project
What I did was to add a external source folder to Project 2
& 3 both of which was Project 1. So far so good, the css loaded
into my application from Project 1 and I could view my styles in my
custom componants in Project 2
But, I needed to add swc files for custom buttons etc in my
application. So, I thought I would just add an swc folder source to
my build path in both my Project 2 & 3 which referenced an swc
folder in Project 1. Well, it did work and I could view everything
fine but (and here is the main problem) this corrupts the
workspace. Once Flex has closed and tries to reopen my workspace it
hangs, same if I change workspace in Flex from another workspace to
this one.
Can anyone help? Is this a flex bug?
TIA

How to deal with Portal, Workshop, and non-BEA software?

Hi,
I'm really new to working with portal, and have looking into integrating a single sign-on software (RSA ClearTrust) into existing portal code.
The ClearTrust installation involves installation of a bunch of software that integrates with the portal software, but I found that if the portal code was developed with Workshop, that if Workshop is run again after the ClearTrust integration has been done, that Workshop appears to overwrite some of the XML configuration files (e.g., web.xml).
The result of this is that the WebLogic server won't start.
So, I was wondering if anyone here has had to deal with this kind of situation, not necessarily with ClearTrust specifically, but maybe with other products?
I'm not looking forward to re-doing the integration everytime someone makes some portal code changes :(...
Thanks in advance,
Jim

There are really two types of Graphic Styles - Object level styles and Group level styles. There is no way to tell which style is which. So if you have an Object level Style and try to apply it to a group of objects or often a compound shape, you get each individual object having the style. If you have a Group level style and try to apply it to only an object, you often get nothing applied.
It perhaps sounds like you have an Object level style and are trying to apply it to a group.
There's no way to convert an Object level style to a Group level style or vice versa. The best (and pretty much only) way I've found to get around this is to apply the style to teh correct level then make a note of all the style settings, select the other level and recreate the style for that level.
Whether or not a style applies correctly has a great deal to do with specific aspects of the style in addition to what level the style was generated from. This is a frustrating aspect of Graphic Styles.

Dealing with dropped frames and out of sync audio

Hi!
I'm using Final Cut Studio 3 and I'm trying to record some video from a pretty old MiniDV-camera. The problem is that a have some dropped frames and when I record the whole thing it gets out of sync.
By default Final Cut aborts the capture (without saving) when it finds dropped frames. That won't work for me. I start recording, it records a couple of minutes and then it just aborts without saving anything.
I tried to record the entire tape when using the option of not aborting on dropped frames. I recorded the entire video but not it gets more and more out of sync later and later in the video.
So, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this? Maybe I can use an external application for this cause I haven't found a way to deal with this in Final cut.
Best
Felix

Hi(Bonjour)!
Did you shoot in DV or HDV ?
Did you try to capture HDV with Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 (or 50 for europe)?
Does you downconvert HDV shooted to DV upon capturing from camcorder ?
DV-NTSC 48 kHz is the way to go with downconverted material.
Does your DV audio setting is 16 bit on FX1 ? (HDV is a fixed one).

Need help with image gallery and preloader

Here is my portfolio site currently. WWW.PALMEI.COM. When you go into the the galleries you can view the images; the images load and it's all working fine. But if I was to go back on the page before the image was to load the image loads later which is then in the way of everything and cannot be deleted or removed. What would a solution be for solving this problem. Also, my preloader is not working at all as you can tell.
Here is my code in frame 1 for the perloader:
[AS]
stop();
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreLoader);
function updatePreLoader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
                    var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
                    preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
                              if (percent==100) {
                                        nextFrame ();

How Mail work with image attachements and HTML image ?

Hello,
I'm writing an application that sends html emails with images to Mail.app. When Mail display the mail, everything is okay, images are correctly embedded in html code, using inline attachements.
But there's still a problem : The images are also displayed at the bottom of the email, as file attachements. I know that Mail's template can hide these attachements, but I cannot reproduce it when sending my own emails.
Is there anybody here that already get such problem and find the solution ? (apparently, Windows User get the same problem with Outlook, but they have an API under Windows...I'm using my own email API..)
David

David can you share how you managed to get the inline images to work. I've got the general idea of how to do it. But I do not seem to be able to change the Content-Type to multipart/mix. Can you point me in the right direction. Should the Content-Type definition and everything else be part of the body? Or should some headers (namely the multipart) be defined in the mailto URL format?
In other words do you do: mailto:?subject=test&Content-Type=multipart/mix;%20boundary=myBoundary&body=--m yBoundary etc...
Or id it: mailto:?subject=test&body=Content-Type=multipart/mix;%20boundary=myBoundary%20- -myBoundary etc..
Neither seems to work for me so I am really stuck. But knowing what the right way is would help me figure things out a bit better.
Thanks in advance

Need help with image upload and preview display

hi guys,
I'm trying to upload image and then display it as a preview, but when upload form submits to the same page image placeholder does not refreshes it's source and displays the same image as before.
Image 4.jpg already exists.
I upload it with nameConflict = "overwrite"
upload form points to the same page, therefore page reloads
In IE image placeholder does not display the new image, but shows the old one until I refresh the page with F5 and resend information, however if checked, image in the file is already different.
In Firefox, sometimes it works and image refreshes, sometimes not.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
cheers,
Simon

Hi Daverms,
With your code you suggest to not only upload the image but make a database entry too. However my intention is to firstly upload the file, and show a preview. Then if user is satisfied with what he sees, he presses "aprove" button and therefore makes a datase entry. Then the photo number will increase by one.
Until user is not aproving the photo he can upload any image again and again, but the new image will be always given the same name (example 4.jpg) and overwriting the old one.
I believe the problem persists because browsers are loading image with the same name from the cache, and not from the actual location. Therefore when I refresh the page it catches the correct image.
If I follow your code, every time I upload the image, name of it is different, therefore browser cannot find it in the cache and is forced to load one from the server.
I wonder is there any way to avoid this cache problem?
cheers,
Simon

Working with images - Rotation and Movement

Hello there,
I have this problem that I cant seem to solve:
I need to be able to move an image arround and there are restrictions to where image should be able to move: at any given time, when dragging, image should always cover whole body of a given border_container, this is simply achieved by sending a rectangle to the startDrag function, which will specify where the image is allowed to move. I got that part right, and its working, the problem arrise when I try to rotate the border_container (with the image), it should still be only possible to drag image so it all the time covers the body of the border_container, but I don't know how to do it.
Code I use looks something like this:
image.startDrag(getImageDragRectangle());
protected function getImageDragRectangle():Rectangle
     return new Rectangle(
          this.width-image.contentWidth + x,
          this.height-image.contentHeight + y,
          Math.abs(this.width-image.contentWidth),
          Math.abs(this.height-image.contentHeight));
Edit: image is not inside the border_container (not sure how relevant it is..)
Could anyone help me out here and give me any hints or suggestions how I could fix it?

You would have to write the image to a temporary file so that the browser could read it off the server. Browsers do not have access to the database, so there's no way to get the image from the database to the browser without using some sort of interim solution.

Dealing with abstract classes and interfaces with XMLBeans

I'm quite new to XMLBeans and would like some help. I've got things working when
you are only saving concreate classes as XML, but when it comes to clesses containing
interfaces I am running into problems.
I basically have a collection of XY objects (see below) that I want to save as
XML.
I want to convert the following java classes to an xml schema:
public class XY{
X x;
Y y;
public interface X{
void setA(int a);
int getA();
public interface Y{
void setB(int b);
int getB();
public class X1 implements X{
void setA(int a);
int getA();
//other data to save
public class X2 implements X{
void setA(int a);
int getA();
//other data to save
public class Y1 implements Y{
void setB(int b);
int getB();
//other data to save
public class Y2 implements Y{
void setB(int b);
int getB();
//other data to save
What would be the best way to convert these to XML Schema? I've looked through
all the XMLBeans documentation, but it doesn't say anything about dealing with
interfaces/abstract classes. Is there anywhere else to look?
