Faces workflow and keyboard shortcuts in 3.0.3

I'd like to collect ideas for how people get through naming photos using Faces in Aperture. For ease of discussion, lets break it down into the following categories:
1) GENERAL WORKFLOW AND CRITEREA
Aperture identifies faces automatically, but is not accurate in many cases. I've discovered that I need to use "naming mode" as I call it, to identify faces. Rejection can be done in any mode. I now go through each photo to make sure it is named as part of my processing of each project. I've also discovered that a smart album used to filter out detected but unnamed faces does not work for all users. I currently have an escalated issue with Aperture support.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11535960#11535960
Once identified, I flag unnamed photos and drag those photos to an album of unnamed photographs. That's how I work around the smart album issue for now.
Choosing whether to include someone as a face in a photo is not straightforward. I use the following criteria:
-Can identify, or believe I can identify an individual
-Mostly in focus
-A primary or secondary subject of the photograph, who's face is visible
-A primary subject who's head (but not face) is in the frame
I reject all others, including those of large crowds, where persons of interest or family members are very small.
2) NAMING MODE (press "N" to view identified faces)
I enter naming mode, and preview mode to speed things along. I first reject any erroneously-detected faces, and count the number of missing faces. I then add the requisite count of missing faces. I then drag them and re size them.
Once that operation is complete, or if all faces are adequately "detected", then I press tab to cycle through and name each photo. If Aperture has made a correct guess, I press space on the check mark to accept and continue. If it has guessed improperly, then I can press tab again to go to the x mark, but pressing space only rejects the name. I have to select the name with the mouse and enter it manually. Does anyone know how to enter the name at this point? For this reason, I usually select the names that are incorrect first, then continue.
I hit enter when complete. Hitting enter prematurely makes you cycle through the names again in Aperture's designated order.
3) FACES MODE
Here's where I would like to know if anyone knows shortcuts for skipping, rejecting, or naming faces. I'll go through the bottom row and skip or reject, then go back through and name them. By limiting this mode to a project or folder, speed increases significantly.
REVIEW
Does anyone have additional input on how they process faces quickly and efficiently?

Got it guys.
Here is the procedure, incase if some one needs it in future:
Copy all the WAR files from:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\java\applications
To :
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps
Get rid of or rename (recommended) any sub folders that may already exist in the above location.

How to disable right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?

Hello All,
We are currently working on an issue. We want to display a pdf to users but not allow them to save it. Though we are able to hide the menubar and toolbars, the Shortcuts F8, F9 and Ctrl+Shift+S is the undoing of all. The user can still use these shortcuts to enable toolbar and menubar. Can anyone suggest how to disable the right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?
Thanks in Advance

Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

Photoshop scripts and keyboard shortcuts synchronization

I use Photoshop CC in multiple computers and would like to find out if there is way to synchronize keyboard shortcuts and photoshop scripts across different computers. Is it possible to synch the scripts folder and keyboard shortcuts through Dropbox for instance?

Have you tried the syncing capabilities in CC? I have not tried to sync across multiple computeres -- having only one -- but the capabilities to sync preferences and actions seem to be possible. However, I believe 'scripts' and 'actions' are not the same thing so I cannot comment on how this sync process deals with scripts.

You switch keyboards by going to the " flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

Hot Corners and Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

When disconnecting from my 27" (that I use as a docking station with keyboard and mouse), in some cases my hot corners and keyboard shortcuts stop working.
F11 does not show the desktop, Ctl-UpArrow does not show mission control. Ctr-left-right arrow does work, as i can still toggle between desktops.
I know, lots of randomness here...
A reboot fixes everything.

I've go a Windows 7 system running CS5 and when I start Photoshop all my shortcuts are working but eventually really important ones like the brush tool sizing stop working. At the moment the only non-adobe/windows app running is iTunes and that have been running the whole time, turning iTunes off does not enable the stortcuts again.
Has the only conclusion to this problem been to turn off other apps? This has been a problem for me since I upgraded to CS5 and its driving me a little mental !

Secret dragging tricks and keyboard shortcuts - are these published anywhere?

I have searched for some and stumbled upon others. But I have not seen any of these published or posted anywhere. If so, can you tell me? Either way, you may find some useful ones here. Enjoy! (I think most of these work in Lion. Any keyboard shortcuts you know for Time Machine would be most welcome.)
*** THE DOCK ***
Press ^F3 to move to the dock. Use the arrow keys to select an icon. You can also use autocomplete (type the first few letters of the icon's name). Then press Opt-arrow_key to move the *icon* among the other icons on the Dock. Thus you can change the order of the icons on the Dock using only the keyboard.
*** DRAGGING TRICKS ***
o SAVE-AS SHEET TRICK
Open an app's Save As sheet. Drag a folder or its proxy icon to anywhere in the Save As sheet except the sidebar and that updates the directory (folder) field with that folder. Drag a file or its proxy icon to the Save As sheet (anywhere except the sidebar) and that updates both the directory (folder) and file fields accordingly.
Why do I do this? I find it easier to use the actual Finder, or I may already have a Finder window in the right directory.
You can also click on a directory or file in the Save As sheet to populate the directory or file fields, respectively. Then edit the filename to a slightly different name.
o COPY A FOLDER TREE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
Open a true text-only editor session using an app like TextWrangler (not TextEdit!). Drag a folder (or its proxy icon) from the Finder into the editor window. Viola`! The names of the folder and all its subfolders and files are pasted into the text buffer in a properly indented form.
o COPY A FILE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
Drag a file from the Finder into a text-only editor like TextWrangler or similar (not TextEdit!) and the _contents_ of the file (not its icon) are inserted into the document.
o MAKE A NEW FILE THAT CONTAINS SELECTED TEXT
Select some text. Drag it to a folder. This creates a "textClipping" file which contains the selected text. Opens as a "Finder document".
o COPY A PHOTO FROM IPHOTO TO A FOLDER
Open iPhoto. Drag (to copy) a photo to a folder. Makes a jpeg file of the photo in that folder.
*** KEYBOARD TRICKS ***
o MENUS AND LISTS
Opt-U/D: Move highlight bar to top or bottom of most menus and lists. Does not work in Spotlight drop-down menu. Works in Snow Leopard Mac Mail (v 4.5, anyway) if you hold it down for a second: you get an error signal, but it works anyway.
PgUp/PgDn | Home/End: Moves highlight bar to top or bottom of menus. Moves only the view for lists.
Opt-Spacebar: Move highlight to the alphabetically first item in a menu (except in the Spotlight drop-down menu).
o SPOTLIGHT DROP-DOWN MENU
After selecting an item on the drop-down menu via the arrow keys:
Cmd-Return: Open enclosing folder.
o SPOTLIGHT WINDOW
If ^F7 is set to "all controls", press ^F7 four times if it's the first search in a particular Spotlight window; two, otherwise. This moves you to the list of results.
If ^F7 is set to "text boxes and lists only", just Tab.
o CALENDAR WIDGET
Home: go to the current year and month.
Up, down, left, right arrows: go one year back, one year forward, one month back, one month forward. Hold a L or R arrow down to autorepeat through the years. (You can't do _that_ with the mouse!) Also works with U and D for the months.
o SPELL CHECK
Cmd-Shift-; - Open spelling pane. But you knew that one. Press ^F6 to get to the pane. Tab around to everything except Define and Guess. With the focus on the replacements list, use the arrow keys to select a replacement word from the list. (Press the spacebar to run the control with the highlight perimiter and press Return to run the control with the solid highlighting.)
o MAIL
Cmd-I - Open Account Info window
o NAVIGATING HELP PANES
- Old-style help panes :
Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
Tab: Move among the Search field, the page, and the controls on top. Add Shift to reverse.
When on the page:
Use the usual navigation keys -- Up, Down, Home, End, Page up, and Page Down, Spacebar, Shift-Spacebar -- to scroll through the page.
Opt-Tab: move among the links on the page or items in a "Help Topics" list. The highlight perimeter will be rectangular. Press Return or Enter to click the selected link or item. Add Shift to reverse direction.
Cmd-F: Open the Find bar. Move about with Tab. Move among the arrows with L or R arrow keys. To find a string: Type your search string in the Find field. Press Return or Enter. Press again to find the next occurrence, etc.
To go to the page from the Find bar: Shift-Tab to the left or right arrow. Then press Shift-Tab two more times.
To close the Find bar: Tab to Done and press the spacebar or just press Escape.
You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.
When the highlight perimeter is on one of the arrow controls, press Spacebar to click it. If the left arrow control is selected press the down arrow to see places going backward. If the right arrow control is selected press the Down arrow to see a list of places going forward. Either way, use the usual menu navigational shortcuts.
When the highlight perimeter is on the Home control, press the down arrow to get a menu of apps. (The mouse way for this is to click and hold and "drag" and release as above.) The usual menu navigational shortcuts are valid. Also, you can press the spacebar to go Home.
When the highlight perimeter is on the Gear button, press the spacebar or down arrow to get the drop-down menu. The usual menu navigational shortcuts are in effect.
(To do any of the above three with the mouse, click on the control and hold the mouse button down, then without releasing the mouse button, move the pointer to highlight the desired item on the menu and release the mouse button.)
- New-style help panes:
Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
Tab to move around to most things. The table of contents becomes keyboard-active one Tab-press past the Search field, at which point use the L and R arrow keys to navigate the Contents panel, and the U and D arrow keys to move the down and up the page.
To be able to use PageUp and PageDn, Tab to the back/forward button, then press Shift-Opt-Tab.
Cmd-F: Opens the Find bar. Navigate with Tab and L/R arrow keys. When you are on this bar, press Shift-Tab repeatedly until the highlight perimeter moves out. Then press Shift-Tab once more to go back to the page, where the L and R arrow keys move you around the TOC sidebar and the U and D arrow keys scroll the page.
AFAIK, you can choose Get Started or Browse Help only with the mouse.
You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.

I guess you meant that unfortunately these don't have them.
(1) I meant that, unfortunately for your impressive work, there's nothing in it that hasn't already been documented elsewhere. The two items I mentioned contain your shortcuts, and many more besides.
I don't see any of them in either. I have Pogue's book and they're not there. In fact, I emailed these tricks to him and he was impressed with some of them. And of course there are more. I never claimed to have an exhaustive list. In fact, I doubt anyone has such a list.
(2) Mac OS X v10.6 has been out for, what is it, 3 years? If you think that there are any 'secret' shortcuts left, then you seriously underestimate the average Mac user. Some of that stuff is even older. For instance, the "Save-As Sheet Trick" dates back to Jaguar, or even before that. "Make a New File That Contains Selected Text" is older than Mac OS X itself!
Well, first of all there's no need to get hostile.
I don't underestimate the average Mac user. But I would venture to guess that most are heavily mouse oriented and would not even be interested in the keyboard tricks I posted. And I only said that I haven't seen them on any website, not that no one else in the world knows about them.
Additionally, there have been things missed by the smartest of people. Stereo vision was missed even by Issac Newton, one of the biggest geniuses to grace the planet! It was Wheatstone who first picked up on it. And it used to be thought that a cube flying by at relatvisitic speed would appear foreshortened in the direction of motion. In fact, as was noted decades after relativity was published, it in fact appears rotated. If super smart people could miss this, then perhaps those few who publish these tricks may not know about them.
Re the save-as trick and the new-file-contains-your-text tricks: fine, they're old, but so are many of the tricks that are posted on websites. So why some old ones but not others? How about cut and paste? I bet they're pretty old but that doesn't prevent people from posting them, as in your first reference!
(3) Also unfortunately, your listing mixes up shortcuts and 'tricks' of different categories. For instance, "Copy a File to a Text Document" is not secret, it is not a trick, and it is not relevant. What an app does with a file dropped onto an open document of its own does not depend on the system, but on the app and how it was programmed. TextEdit inserts a text file's path while TextWrangler inserts the text file's contents not because the former is not a text editor, but because that's how each was designed to work. And TextWrangler's behaviour is documented in the accompanying manual.
So one of my tricks is lame. I don't see that as that big a deal.
Bottom line: I don't see any of them in the docs you referenced.

CS4 application focus and keyboard shortcuts

Quick preface: I couldn't find anything on this issue, searching Google and the Adobe forums specifically, so I don't know if it's a general bug in CS4 or if it's specific to the installations we have here at work. Also, this isn't specific to Indesign, but it seems to happen the most with Indesign, and I wasn't sure where else to post.
Basically, Indesign in particular (though this also happens with Photoshop and Illustrator to an extent), seems to lose focus if I've clicked on a palette or if I have an object selected, such that I have to click on a blank area of the document in order to use any keyboard shortcut. For example, if I've just applied a new swatch to an object, and that object is still selected, and I hit CTRL-S to save, nothing happens and I have to click a blank area of the document, and then hit CTRL-S. This may not seem like a big deal, but if I'm going to do that, I might as well click "File" and then "Save." And this seems to happen with every keyboard shortcut I use.
Is there anything in the preferences of the application that may be causing this, or is it just an annoying bug, or am I the only one? Any help is greatly appreciated.
[edit] And I'm using WinXP Pro, SP3 on an Intel Core2Duo.

Have you tried refreshing the preferences?

LCD color profile and Keyboard shortcuts gets screwed up

My macbook pro is connected to a Dell flat panel to extend the desktop. Recently, and inconsistently, the color profile of my MBP's LCD will get screwed up when I exit from the Screensaver - the external display looks right. Just clicking on display in system preferences immediately corrects the color. But I would like to fix it from not happening every now and then.
Another problem I notice pretty much in the same sporadic way is that my keyboard shortcuts (F9 to F12) for dashboard and expose gets reset to none - I am not sure if they are even related as of now (can't reproduce it at will)
Has anyone experienced something like this? Any potential solutions?
Thanks!

How Many Functions And Keyboard Shortcuts etc. Are Missing From FCE 4 ?

Seven hours ago I set out to discover the answer to this but I got side-tracked and discovered my camera had a microphone channel missing !
So is there anything missing from FCE4 ?
There have been spurious claims that things like "Export to Soundtrack" have been dropped and though the actual command has disappeared the functionality is there in "Export to QuickTime".
However, I seem to remember Tom saying that a certain keyboard shortcut (which I can't remember) is missing.
Has anyone noticed any particular items that really have been omitted ? (Don't say Soundtrack or 9GB of LT Media!)

Hi Ian,
just to confirm that what you and Tom have found is the same I have so far.
A comment: while all other commands now missing in the FCE4 contextual menu are available in its standard menus, the Clip Enable command is really a ghost command. Only the control-B keyboard shortcut toggles it, there is no mention of it in any menu, but it appears in Tools/Button List. The online Help mentions a Modify/Clip Enable commands that does not actually exist, but on the other hand it does not mention its keyboard shortcut that in fact works... very clear!

Custom Commands and Keyboard shortcuts

Hi,
I have recently added a custom command to Vivado 2015.1 to set the current working directory to the top level folder where the project is stored using this TCL:
cd [string trimright [get_property DIRECTORY [get_projects]] proj]
This allows me run TCL scripts using a simple relative path to a folder in the project containing TCL scripts instead of having to type a long absolute path because Vivado insists on using C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Xilinx/Vivado as it's default working directory (e.g source ./tcl/script.tcl rather than source C:/<long path to folder>/tcl/script.tcl)
I added a keyboard shortcut to this command (in this case Ctrl+Shift+P) to allow to me change the PWD quickly when I need to.
However, every time I open Vivado the keyboard shortcut initially does not work. I press Ctr+Shift+P and nothing happens. In order to get this to work I have to press Alt+T to get the tools menu, then u to get the Customize commands option and then withough clicking anything in this menu, just by opening the menu, the shortcut works.
In short every time I start Vivado afresh, I have to press, Alt+T, u, then Esc, Esc to back out of the menu to get the shortcut to work ( or I can click Tools->Customise Commands and then back out of the menus by using Esc, Esc and it has the same effect).
Can anyone else confirm this?
It feels like it is not recognizing the shortcut until the Customise commands menu has been opened. Is it not loading the shortcut until this menu opens? The whole idea of the shortcut is to avoid having to open the menu every time.
Regards
Simon

Another "edit in photoshop" and keyboard shortcut question

I have both PSCS6 32 bit and 64 bit installed on my computer (usual default installation). When I next installed LR4, it automatically picked PSCS6 64 bit as the default external editor without asking my preference.
I always use PSCS6 32 bit and not the 64 bit version.
While I can add the PSCS6 32 bit program as an "additional external editor" and access it from a right click contextual menu for editing an image from LR4, I cannot use the convenient Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut since that will always launch the unwanted PSCS6 64 bit program.
Is there a way to reestablish this keyboard shortcut convenience for my 32 bit program?
Thanks in advance!

Scott,
There is a registry hack you could try:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html
That's for making PS show up when it doesn't show up at all, but there's a place to add the path to the executable that you could modify to point to the 32-bit version. You might want to do a checkpoint for System Restore before you start.

Window Menu Entry and Keyboard Shortcuts

I have defined a menu entry that appears in two places in the menu hierarchy
File->My PlugIn->Info
and
Window->My PlugIn->Info
using a PanelList definition of
// Asset retrieval panel
resource PanelList (kMMAssetRetPanelResourceID)
kMyPaletteID,
initiallyVisible,
kMyPanelResourceID,
kMyPluginID,
kSDKDefDefaultPaletteZOrder,
kMyPanelActionID,
kMyPluginName kSDKDefDelimitMenuPath "Info",
kMySubMenuPath,
kMyInfoItemPosition,
where kMySubMenuPath is "Main" kSDKDefDelimitMenuPath "&File" kSDKDefDelimitMenuPath "MyPlugin".
Everything works beautifully except that the keyboard shortcut editor uses Window Menu->Info to attach the shortcut to whereas I would like to use our own Action Area where all the other menu entries in the File->MyPlugin menu are. This is similar to the Type->Character and Window->Type & Tables->Character menu entries so I believe it is possible.
An alternative would be to use Window Menu->My PlugIn: Info in the shortcut editor.
Does anyone know how to configure either of these?
Ken, can you show me how the Type->Character and Window->Type & Tables->Character panel is defined?

It seems like Ken has moved on to pastures new judging by when his last post was (I have been away from InDesign development for quite a while).
Does anyone else know how to achieve this?
Is there anyone from Adobe or elsewhere that knows how the Type->Character and Window->Type & Tables->Character panel menus entries are defined?
Cheers,
Ian

Change sorting in Finder from ascending to descending and keyboard shortcut

Hallo,
can someone point me in the right direction of how to change sorting in Finder from ascending to descending and what are the corresponding keyboard shortcuts?
I am already using the ctrl-cmd+number key shortcuts to modify my sorting, and a Google search produced the answer that I can change from ascending to descending by hitting the key-combination again. But it does not work ...
Any help ;-) ?
Thank you !

Never heard of a keyboard command to toggle the sort sequence from ascending to descending and back.
The usual way to change it is to click the highlighted column name in the Finder window.

Mail and Keyboard Shortcut Preferences

Ever since the last system update, I haven't been able to set keyboard shortcuts for Mail in the Keyboard preferences. I'm not sure if it was the firmware update or the system one, but it just boinks at me.
I was able to set one default in the terminal, but it erased all my other preferences, which I can't get back.
So, if I do it from Terminal, so I have to do a whole list at once? Or will you guys get the application keyboard shortcut preferences fixed some time soon?

Now Keyboard Preferences is accepting changes for no apparent reason - I haven't restarted the computer or anything. Anyway, I need to figure out what's the magic word for "junk this message." I have Junk, Junk Mail, and Mark As Junk Mail all as command - J, but it's still not working. Maybe there is no keyboard shortcut? Do I have to script it or something? I have having to switch between the keyboard and clicking all the time.

Shell script and keyboard shortcut

I wrote a bash script, and I would like to start it with a keyboad shortcut, but I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone know?

Hi Hugo,
   Keyboard shortcuts are meant for Carbon and Cocoa applications but it can be done; you just have to wrap the shell script in some sort of application. One way is Sveinbjorn Thordarson's Platypus but I just wrap mine with an AppleScript, invoking it with "do shell script". You have to save the AppleScript as an application. Then you open the "Keyboard & Mouse" pane of "System Preferences" and select the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab. Click the plus sign, '+', pick a key combination and specify your AppleScript or Platypus app as the target.
