Easy way to compare iphoto contents with images in picture folder?

I know there are duplicate images stored in both places. Is there an easy way to find which images are duplicated?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
That would be the second scenario that Léonie is asking about.

I have 8000 photos in my iPhoto library. Many are duplicated in the "Pictures" folder in the Finder. Is there an easy way to detect and delete duplicates in the "Pictures" folder?

Anyone know how to detect and delete duplicate photo files that exist in the Pictures folder in the Finder that are also in the iPhoto library?

There's no way to compare the photos in the library with those outside the library. However, as long as you're running a "managed" library
You can import batches of the photos, i.e by folder, into the library. If the photo is already in the library you will be given this notice:
Check that checkbox and clik on the Don't Import button. When that folder is finished importing (or not) delete it and go to the next.
If you need to check for duplicates in the library you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?

Hi,
I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:

If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...
...it is basically based on this:

Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?

Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?
I need to compare the contents of my current library to one that existed 2 months ago but ALL I have is the itl file from 2 months ago. Can this be done?

You are correct, many people have noticed over the years that Sound Check does not work as advertised.
A more effective approach is to treat the files with a 3rd party volume normalization program. Although I have not personally used it, many users on this Forum have reported good results from an inexpensive program called iVolume.

I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of looking at it in Finder. Help!

Help! I have 2 problems related to iPhoto:
1: I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of double clicking on it and looking at it in Finder. I cannot figure out how to fix my Pictures Folder so that I can click on it and view it in Finder, when I double click on it Terminal opens up with this message "Pictures - Bash 80x24" and
Last login: Mon Nov 3 14:00:05 on ttys000
Christinas-MacBook-Pro:Pictures christinagrierson$
It will not let me replace or delete the folder... I got to my files and backed them up, but trying to avoid reinstalling my OS.
2: When I try to Upgrade my Library.iPhoto file so I can open it in iPhoto it says I need to finish by opening in iPhoto, but then when I do, it tells me it first needs to be upgraded in the iPhoto Library Upgrader... Vicious circle. Please, help! Just trying to recover about 3 years worth of photos...

Hi! Thanks for responding!
I have iPhoto 9.5.1, I am on OS X Version 10.9.5 on a MacBook Pro with 2.66 GHz
My current "iPhoto Library" file is OK (I can open it with iPhoto), however I cannot access the old one from iPhoto 6 titled Library.iPhoto
I tried right clicking and choosing the application, it did not work.
"exactly how did you "I got to my files and backed them up"" - I showed the contents of my Pictures folder, and it opened up the folders in Finder and I copied them to an external hard drive. In my Picture folder I have several folders of Photos plus the iPhoto Library files (old & current)
I do have old back ups, but they are from April, and I recently imported 5 months of photos from my iPhone, so the iPhoto Library I copied after showing contents is the one I need.

Is there an easy way to replace spry menus with jQuery menu system?

I just learned that Adobe is no longer using spry or that spry does not work on mobile devices. My entire site (built in CS5.5 moved to CS6) is built with 3 different spry menu systems. I have been told about jQuery, and many other menu system options. I work in design view and can copy and paste code, read code etc...but cant write it to save my life. I cannot seen to understsand how a different menu software system will integrate with DW especially when I use design view. My question is, is there an easy way to change my spry menu's? I have 2 spry menu bars, spry tabbed menus on EVERY page and a spry accordian menu that repeats on all pages. I am working with a template I built, so hopefully it is an easy fix.
Any walkthrough help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the code for my template minus the div set up.

HTML content with images and links blocked

Hello,
I very much need some help here because my company needs to send out newsletters to our clients in HTML format soon and so far the email with HTML content is being blocked as spam while text content works fine. Specifically, whenever I add a link or an image in HTML content, the email doesn't go through. I tried sending in multipart format but it is also not sending HTML with images and links. Here is my attempt:
                                props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
                                 props.setProperty("mail.host", "mail.server.com");
                                 props.setProperty("mail.user", "joeuser");
                                 Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
                                 mailSession.setDebug(true);
                                 Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport();
                                 MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
                                 MimeBodyPart htmlPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                                 MimeBodyPart textPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                                 textPart.setText("Just to make it multipart");
                                 htmlPart.setHeader("MIME-Version", "1.0");
                                 htmlPart.setHeader("Content-Type", htmlPart.getContentType());
                                 htmlPart.setContent(strHtmlMessage, "text/html");
                                 mp.addBodyPart(textPart);
                                 mp.addBodyPart(htmlPart);
                                 MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
                                 message.setHeader("MIME-Version", "1.0");
                                 message.setHeader("Content-Type", mp.getContentType());
                                 message.setHeader("X-Mailer", "Recommend-It Mailer V2.03c02");
                                 message.setContent(mp);
                                 message.setSubject(strSubject);
                                 message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
                                 message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                                         new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
                                         transport.connect();
                                         transport.sendMessage(message,
                                         message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
                                 transport.close();This code is one of my numerous attempts to make HTML send images and links. Please, let me know if there is a workaround way to make JavaMail send HTML with links and images in the message body. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

The JavaMail FAQ has information on creating HTML messages, including
messages with both plain text and HTML. Did you find it?
BTW, your code has many unnecessary statements, such as setting
the Mime-Version header, which JavaMail will do for you, and setting
the Content-Type header, which JavaMail does as a side-effect of the
setContent or setText calls.
Other than that, it looks like your code should be correctly creating a
multipart/alternative message. If the recipient is still rejecting it you
need to figure out what it is about the message that makes the recipient
think it's spam. Can you send a similar message using another mailer?
Can you send the message to a different recipient?

Is there any easy way to compare LIKE Addresses from one table, which contains 3rd party data, to another table, our database source

We have a 3rd party that is supplying us data and we need to compare the addressing between the 3rd party data to our source database addressing. I'd like to make it somewhat flexible meaning I'd like to somehow use the LIKE comparison rather than comparing
the exact address values. (I have noticed that the 3rd party addressing sometime has a leading <space> at the beginning of the address...why I'd prefer to use LIKE)
Is there any easy way to do this? Or does this dictate using a CURSOR and processing through the CURSOR of 3rd party data and plugging in the address LIKE as dynamic SQL?
Please let me know your thoughts on this and I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Yes, it's possible and there are a variety of options but it's may not be for the faint of heart.
The last time I did it, I ended up taking several passes at the data.
1st pass was a straight up comparison with no modifications or functions.
2nd pass was the same but with all special characters removed.
3rd pass involved splitting the numeric portion of address and comparing just the street numbers and used a double meta-phone function (kind of like a soundex on steroids) to compare the street names.

Any way to serve iPhoto content to DLNA clients?

I have a DLNA server running on a QNAP box (and also one on my Mac Pro). Is there a way, either with Apple software or a third party solution, to serve iPhoto content (photos with tags, ratings, albums, etc.) to a DLNA client on my network?

iPhoto -- file menu ==> export

Is there an easy way to clear the contents of Download Folder?

Is there an easier way to clear out files (send to trash) from the downloads folder, other than dragging one by one? The downloads folder closes immediately upon dragging one file out.

You do not need to invoke Finder to do this. Create a new empty Automator workflow and use the "Run Shell Script" option. Paste in the following....
mv ~/Downloads/* ~/.Trash
You can then save the workflow as an application, attach it as a Finder action or add it to the scripts menu, whichever you like better.
If you would like to bypass the Trash and just completely delete the Downloads folder contents immediately, then paste in this command:
rm -rf ~/Downloads/*

Easy way to build a resume with word?

I am trying to create a resume, and I have trouble with AutoFormat, Columns, Bullets, etc.
Is there an easy way to build a professional-looking resume? Even for someone like me, who doesn't do well with formatting?
I tried to find a wizard or a good template, but my Microsoft Office Word version from 2004 doesn't have either. And the Word templates for Mac that I downloaded from online were not good either.
What can I do? Thank you for your help!
Kat

Rants: Easier way of creating SWF panels with CS5?

Last week I got a fairly advanced SWF panel in Photoshop CS4 running executing JSX scripts. But when I started to look into developing for CS5 everything changed and former SWF panels and their scripts do not work anymore in Photoshop CS5. And honestly I think there are way to many complicated little steps in the way to just get started. I am probably stuck on this for several weeks just to get a hello world demo running- and I am not sure If I want that. Getting the CS4 version running was a matter of 3 nights, even though back then the documentation was really hard to find and often incomplete.
So upon studying the SDK and the tutorials that adobe provides I noticed a few annoying blockers in my way
Adobe Flash builder dictation, some things are very restrictive and shown only for just that IDE platform. My choice of scripting environment is FlashBuilder however for various reasons (free and coding speed are 2 of them). The documentations and Tutorials however hide many important steps that are going on in the background. If the compiler gets certain arguments I need to know that, same if some ANT scripts or alike deploy files to certain folders.
upon configuring my computer before scripting I had to change a windows registry key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwarea\Adobe\CSXS2Preferences, playerDebugMode = 1). However that key entry doesn't even exist to begin with on my Windows 7 computer even though Photoshop CS5, Extention Manager and ExtendScript Toolkit are present and installed.
I need a special SDK compiler instead of the latest FlexSDK, this makes things only more complicated and confusing. I have it now but to figure that out took a while, as this is completely different from how things used to work with CS4.
Everything is flex focused it would be nice if some tutorials could have a focus on pure AS3 as well, for those who don't like the Flex framework or GUI.
CS4 and CS5 (Photoshop) seem to be incompatible in the way one can deploy or create SWF panels, this is a major down for any developer that is interested in supporting booth applications. I happen to work in a environment where still a majority of people work with CS4. Also the CS4 documentation (Photoshop) for the SWF panels seem to have vanished, this makes this issue even worse.
So what I want is:
The most minimalistic working example straight to the point just to get a SWF panel in Photoshop CS5 running executing some JSX script using eval for example. This is easy in CS4 but very restricted and complicated in CS5 .
dropping a SWF file in the Photoshop/plugins/panel folder works but it resizes wrong (even though stage.scaleMode is set to noScale), and any CSXSInterface methods seem to be ignored (CSXSLibrary-2.0-sdk-3.4-public.swc used).
I think I gave up for now on CS5, to restrictive, complex and incompatible with CS4 are my main complaints- I hope this gets through as some feedback - or maybe there is a answer on all my questions?

Hello,
one answer to your last question could be this cookbook, then as you probably already know there's the Photoshop panel developer's guide (the CS5 isn't that different from CS4...)
As the #1 messy coder around (and not that much skilled), I understand your complaints. I'm focused on Photoshop only, and the panel guide for CS4 was more than enough. My learning curve with CS SDK is, to put it mildly, steep (since I've not really any previous experience with Flex - and I agree, using 3.4 SDK and not 4.0 may lead to some confusion), but I'm optimistically confident that CS SDK for CS6 will be far more usable.
I find particularly annoying that to make life easier Adobe created CS Extension Builder, but to get it is nearly impossible (at least for me: I don't know if Gmail can't get thru Adobe mail server spam control, but in the last 4 months I wrote several emails to Roger Risdal, the "Partner Product and Business Developer Manager" in order to get info about the developer partnership required, and I got as the only answer a couple of out-of-office autoreply) Rumors say that Adobe's DevNet will undergo some robust changes (when, I don't know) - I hope they will change their mind about the way Extension Builder will be (or not be) distributed.
One last optimistic consideration is that the tools needed to deploy an extension (the ucf.jar for instance) and the general workflow (write the manifest.xml, pack everything with that java command line utility into a zip-like file, the .zxp, then write an .mxi to access features like auto-update and re-pack again into *another* .zxp) are far from having a good usability and being straightforward... so far that in my opinion the newer releases will surely be better than this one.
That said, I understand that experienced developers are happily plunging into CS SDK while I'm having hard times keeping my head above waters, and I'm sure CS SDK will lead to a very interesting future.
By the way, to drop the SWF in the panel's folder isn't a good idea if you want the extension to have the right dimensions (this is something I've learnt) - the manifest.xml is the right place.
Ciao,
Davide

What is the easy way to create a crossword with InDesign CS5 for a interactive pdf?

I mean I want to create a pdf magazine and i like to include a crossword. I read somewhere that one way is create a crossword with an external software and include it in the ID project but I don't know any crossword software and if I add in my ID project, I only need to export like a interactive pdf? I would like that the users can use the crossword in online version.

Hi.
I'm not sure about what to you mean. But I create first the crossword with Excel, I mean to put the words in the right order and the questions and/or cue too. Then I create a table in InDesign and format some cells with black background and some borders. I upload both captures, from Excel and from InDesigne. Then with Adobe X Pro I create a form, so I can create singles inputs for the crossword.
I hope i understand your question.

Easy way of selecting JPEGs paired with RAW twin

I really need an easy way to select JPEG files that become redundant because I also have the RAW files. Single JPEGs should then be left out.
