Acath?
(1) Why would you need to change the color in HTML when you can specify it in Catalyst (Artboard Size & Color)?
(2) I think the question was about specifying an "Image"... you can't in Catalyst, but is there any plan for beta 3?
(3) Can you put a tranparent Artboard in Catalyst and specify a background image in the HTML?
Thanks

Windows 7, file properties - Is "date accessed" ALWAYS 100% accurate?

Hello,
Here's the situation: I went on vacation for a couple of weeks, but before I left, I took the harddrive out of my computer and hid it in a different location. Upon coming back on Monday (January 10, 2011) and putting the harddrive back in my computer, I
right-clicked on different files to see their properties. Interestingly enough, several files had been accessed during the time I was gone! I right-clicked different files in various locations on the harddrive, and all of these suspect files had been accessed
within a certain time range (Sunday, ‎January ‎09, ‎2011, approximately ‏‎between 6:52:16 PM - 9:06:05 PM). Some of them had been accessed at the exact same time--down to the very second. This makes me think that someone must have done
a search on my harddrive for certain types of files and then copied all those files to some other medium. The Windows 7 installation on this harddrive is password protected, but NOT encrypted, so they could have easily put the harddrive into an enclosure/toaster
to access it from a different computer.
Of course I did not right-click every single file on my computer, but did so in different folders. For instance, one of the folders I went through has different types of files: .mp3, ,prproj, .3gp, .mpg, .wmv, .xmp, .txt with file-sizes ranging from 2 KB
to 29.7 MB (there is also a sub-folder in this folder which contains only .jpg files); however, of all these different types of files in this folder and its subfolder, all of them had been accessed (including the .jpg files from the sub-folder) EXCEPT the
.mp3 files (if it makes any difference, the .mp3 files in this folder range in size from 187 KB to 4881 KB). Additionally, this sub-folder which contained only .jpg files (48 .jpg files to be exact) was not accessed during this time--only the .jpg files within
it were accessed-- (between 6:57:03 PM - 6:57:08 PM).
I thought that perhaps this was some kind of Windows glitch that was displaying the wrong access date, but then I looked at the "date created" and "date modified" for all of these files in question, and their created/modified dates and
times were spot on correct.
My first thought was that someone put the harddrive into an enclosure/toaster and viewed the files; but then I realized that this was impossible because several of the files had been accessed at the same exact time down to the second. So this made me think
that the only other way the "date accessed" could have changed would have been if someone copied the files.
Is there any chance at all whatsoever that this is some kind of Windows glitch or something, or is it a fact that someone was indeed accessing my files (and if someone was accessing my files, am I right about the files in question having been copied)? Is
there any other possibility for what could have happened?
Do I need to use any kinds of forensics tools to further investigate this matter (and if so, which tools), or is there any other way in which I can be certain of what took place in that timeframe the day before I got back? Or is what I see with Windows 7
good enough (i.e. accurate and truthful)?
Thanks in advance, and please let me know if any other details are required on my part.
P.S. The harddrive is NTFS.

Never mind. Someone else already answered this for me:
"I use last accessed-created date time stamps all the time when troubleshooting-investigating software installs, its been very accurate in my uses of it in NTFS file systems.
Since some of the dates are while you were gone, I assume it was several days to a week, I would say someone did access those files.
These timestamps along with other data are used by computer forensics teams to reconstruct what a user did on a computer.
Experienced Hackers use software to alter these time stamps to cover their tracks when breaking into computer systems."
http://superuser.com/questions/232143/windows-7-file-properties-is-date-accessed-always-100-accurate/232320#232320
Additionally, I just now found out what happened. Someone else found the harddrive and thought it was theirs (since it was identical to one they had been missing), so they put it in their computer and scanned it with an anti-virus software. They realized it
wasn't theirs and then put it back in the place I had hidden it.
In my original question, I stated a possible theory that someone may have copied the files, but I later realized that copying in itself doesn't affect the "date accessed" of the original/source file, but rather only the "date accessed" of
the copy.
Thanks to all those that may have read my question.

Songbird Damaged iTunes Meta Data and Recently Added List. Best way to fix?

Hello, Apple forums.
A while ago (Long enough to fix some of the broken Meta data), I tried out Songbird as an alternative for when I'm gaming and want a little extra resources.
Unfortunately, I set it up to sync between iTunes and Songbird, and Songbird "updated" my iTunes information and removed META data in the process for any song played on Songbird.
It also had the recently added moved to "Songbird > Recently Added," and proceeded to fill it with every song in my library.
My music is stored on a Western Digital MyBook external HDD (320GB) formatted to FAT32.
I have fifteen playlists, and would like to retain ratings and play counts on the songs.
My library reads "8196 songs, 19:15:40:31 total time, 50.13"
Granted, a couple hundred of these are the ones missing the META data and are broken entries (IE has all the data listed but does not have the file where it should be) and their META-less version added from %library%\music\unknown artists\unknown album\
(The tracks retain their real name with the track number prefixing them, it's just a matter of going through all of the songs and matching them up)
Given that this is as it is, how should I go about this?
I would also like to keep the apps for my 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS Pois0ned 4.2.1).
All music is either imported from a CD or an independent artist.
I don't have access to all of the CD's, nor do I particularly want to manually re-add everything.
I am more concerned with the recently added playlist being fixed! I understand that I will have to cut my losses on the META data!

I thought you said Songbird had removed metadata. Most files carry metadata in a tag. If a file "goes missing" because another program chooses to relocate it iTunes will retain an entry in the library with all that information. The FindTracks script makes a bash at locating the moved files in a number of alternate locations, including the unknown artist/unknown album folder or the main Music folder. If the files have actually had metadata removed, but have a tag, then iTunes will read the damaged data and update itself. Not necessarily what you want. For files that are in a logical artist/album layout but don't have tags you could be better off repairing tags first with, for example, MediaMoney's AutoTag from Filename feature.

I had to look up RAT. I'm guessing you meant something like remote admin/access tool. By all means be wary of anything recommended on this site but to accuse me of being underhand without any evidence is hardly the way to start a fruitful conversation. I thought you wanted help here...

The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used

I am trying to restore files from an NT back up on a SBS 2003. The backup was taken on this machine and trying to restore to the same. I get this error: The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.
I tried copying it to a different machine with no luck. Any suggestions?
Robert

Hi,
Since the backup file cannot be restored on a different machine, the backup file could be corrupt. You need to use some third party recovery utilities to restore the backup file.

Data and Index lookup Cache

Hi All,
We are facing performance issue on executing a task WC_SIL_APInvoiceDistributionFact, this takes 1:20:13mins to complete the load.
Issue is with the Lookup table W_EMPLOYEE_D that takes around 35mins, so we have increased the data and index cache size of that lookup table. Now the Lookup table W_EMPLOYEE_D takes 7mins and the load duration is around 28mins.
Calculation for Data and Index Cache
Count of rows + 16 = Index Cache
(Count of rows + 16) * 2 = Data Cache.
Since the Data volume will not be same in all the instances do we need to change the cache size for each instance? And will be any other impact if we add this cache size.
Can you please help on this to proceed further.
Thanks ,
Shalini Peddibhotla

Hi Shalini,
In that case: the cache will be filled and used as long as the number of rows sourced from the table fits in the defined size. If it exceeds the max size, it will not store the rows in cache and every mapping using the lookup operator will wait for the query generated by the lookup operator to return the resultset.
So basically, you will potentially hit the same problem you are trying to solve.

Marco Siliakus

File properties: mysterious dates for created, modified and last opened

I've seen this ever since I started using my Mac - I am a relatively new Mac user (a year or more vs. well, decades on Win/PC).
Finder: click on a file and it will show its properties. It will have a "More info" button.
The dates displayed between the 2 above are different.
1) In the "immediate" display it would say something like:
Last opened: Today at 10PM
- this wrong day, "correct" time
- considering that it will display this at say 7AM "today"...well, it's a "future" date/time
2) If you click the More info button, the "truth" comes out
Last opened: Yesterday at 10PM (accurate)
Never really cared, but thought I'd ask here. At some point, if I start some development on the Mac, and filesystems, file properties are involved, this will obviously be an issue. I don't even know if this affects file searching based on these properties - again, new user, using Mac for very specific purpose, but usage is definitely on the rise, so I'd like to get some direction on very basic OS behavior like this fully understood.
Thanks and happy new year to all!

Thanks VK. I'm the only user.
Can you please clarify on what user accounts have to do with this behavior?
I've seen many times when corrupt date settings in the global user preference file cause wrong modified dates to be displayed in finder. in that case if you make a different user they will be displayed correctly. the file in question is ~/library/preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist.
It's ok to be technical in your response....if it goes over my head, I'll be frank and ask for clarification....
- Is it a user-defined preference/setting?
- It's almost like a busted UTC/time zone routine (somehow "TODAY" is UTC, but the time value doesn't match) re: 10PM last night on PT is/was "today" in UTC....

I use Windows XP. The problem now is that on two consecutive occasions when I open iTunes it either says the library is corrupt and creates a new one or will not load a previous one from the file. All my meta data and 2K songs are "missing".

Can I recreate my proper library with its 8700+ songs and a load of meta data from the iPod. Since two upgrades ago iTunes, for me, has become very unreliable.

Hi there caunsall!

Meta data and data asset management

I am looking for suggestions and or products that can support managing our footage.
Our goal is for an editor to search for a clip using the data entered in the “description” (metadata) field of clips and sub-clips that have been logged in various projects.
Here is the outline.
We record clips of high def footage and we import batches of these clips; sometimes a few dozen, and sometimes thousands. We bring these batches into a Premiere Pro CS5 project by importing the video clips from within a P2 card folder structure, or avchd, or dslr footage or ??/any format we collect...
We log a description of the clips and of sub-clips, and then we edit a film from those elements. After 1 project, or after 50 projects, we have all the detailed description (metadata) we've entered about each clip and sub-clip captured, and this data lives within the CS5 project. We can only search it from within the original project.
If we start a new project and we need to look back at footage from old projects, we can only search for footage by going into that old project . We would like to have the metadata write back to our archive (or a copy of the footage in a new archive.) If the archive and the clips and sub-clips had the metadata from the project we could search and find assets. Among the obstacles is that sub-clips share the name of the clip it comes from so there is no “place” for it’s metadata. We've tried using Project Manager>Collect Files & Copy to New Location but the subclip .mxf files created through this process are copies of the source clip despite being labeded "random.subclip001". When imported, this "random.subclip001" file shows up in Premiere as the original "random" source clip name.
We are looking at a small library – but it’s big for us. About 20 terabytes… A typical client might have 4-6 terabytes of assets we would like to look through for a shot, or an interview… Has anyone made inroads on this?
Many thanks for any thoughts and ideas.
Sincerely,
Rees Candee

Hi Abhilash,
Meta Data-
In BW the meta-data contain data about data.
It is like having information about the information.
You have the business related meta-data for example the description used in your reports or the technical related meta-data for example the rules used in the transformation or the extraction. These are the two types of meta-data you have in the metadata repository that you manage with the metadata manager
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6197e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
Meta Data Repository
It is the repository which Manages Meta Data, for example like when talking about an ODS in the metadatarepository you can read about which characteristics, key figures, infosource and updaterules are used in it. And creation date, owner etc.

How do I add my name to the camera data file in meta data?

When reviewing the meta data on my photos I see the camera model number, serial number, focal length, etc. The camera owner field is blank. How do I add my name to the camera owner field?
I'm using Photoshop CC, on a windows 8.1 Pro platform. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Caitlin

I did add all the info on the menu section you mentioned above. Unfortunately it does not show up as "Owner" when you view the data file in Photoshop CC for some reason. Copyright info shows properly, but not camera owner. It's not a big problem anyway, just a pride of ownership thingy . I downloaded the GeoSetter program, and after reviewing the meta data contained there I don't see an option for "owner" there either. Perhaps its something that Adobe plans to implement someday, who knows. Thanks for your suggestions everyone.
This is my first DSLR, all I have shot in the past have been film cameras and we didn't have any of this fancy info available unless we wrote it down somewhere, smile. I was still using my old Nikomat that I purchased in 1972 when I was stationed in Japan. I was a bit stubborn when it came to switching to DSLR sorry I waited so long now.
Oh, Trevor, sorry to learn you may be using something other than Nikon, I didn't know there was another brand other than Nikon!

Need help in using SQL in a jsp file to compare date and time

hi every one,
Actually I am doing a project using JSP. I need to compare a date field in the database (MS Acess) to the current system date and time. I have to do this in a select statement.
I have alredy defined a variable of type Date in the JSP file and I am comparing this variable to the date in the database through a select statemant.
Here is what I am doing
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String myDate=sdf.format(today);
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= "+myDate+" ;";
EDate is the feild in the database and it's format is (5/12/2008 5:29:47 PM) it is of type Date/Time in MS Acess.
when I execute the query it gives the following error
SQL error:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'EDate <= 2008-10-16 08:10:07'.
I hope any one can help me with that error and answer my question, I've tried too many things but nothing helps
Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,
When the comparision is needed to be done with the current date , we don't need to send in Java
Date then format it and compare with MS Acess Date.
In MS Access we have Date() function which will give you the current date.
So you can try rewriting your query as following :
query = "SELECT Car_ID, Model_ID, Year, Ext_Color, Price from Cars where EDate <= Date() ;"; ---------------------
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Apllication file name,time,date and user

Dear Expert,
I have a requirement where I would like to see a original application file name,date and time and user who uploaded a file.
I tried a status log functionality and content version functionality but does not fullfill the req.
Staus log display only change in status ,user,time and log text.
Content version gives all what I need but only for those files which gone under any changes and stored in as a new content version but not for a file which don't have any content version
I need a tables where i will get these information so that with dev some report can be developed.

Get File by modified date and extension then copy to location

Hello,
Ill give a brief description of what I am trying to accomplish. We have a bunch of files that are sitting on a deduplication box (Exagrid), we want to try and copy certain files off of this dedup box, however, if we copy EVERYTHING this will fill up our
entire NAS Device. So, instead, I need to build a script that finds files by a modified date and extension type, then copy those to a specified folder.
Here is the code:
$logfile = "C:\CopyResults.log"
function LogWrite{
Param([string]$logstring)
Add-Content $logfile -Value $logstring
$date = get-date
$DateToCompare = (Get-Date).AddDays(-2)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".xlsx"}
foreach($File in $Files){
Write-Host "$File was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $File C:\test
logWrite "$File was copied to c:\test --- $date"
The file extension is of course just a test, as well as the destination of where these files are to be copied to. Ultimately I would like to build in the functionality that will check the date and delete the files after a certain amount of time has passed and
then copy new files. For now, though, I would be satisfied with just some insight on my own idea and know where I am going wrong or how to clean this up a little better. The overall issue I having is when I run this portion of the script I get this: Copy-Item
: Cannot find path 'C:\Users\<username>\<filename>.xlsx' because it does not exist.
At line:13 char:5
+ Copy-Item $File C:\test
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\<usern...al filename>.xlsx:String) [Copy-Item], ItemNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

I solved the issue. Here is the full script:
net use \\netpath\filename /user:<Username> <Password>
$logfile = "C:\CopyResults.log"
function LogWrite{
Param([string]$logstring)
Add-Content $logfile -Value $logstring
$date = get-date
$DateToCompare = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
$VBMs = Get-ChildItem \\netpath\filename -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".vbm"}
$VBKs = Get-ChildItem \\netpath\filename -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".vbk"}
$VIBs = Get-ChildItem \\netpath\filename -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $DateToCompare} | Where-Object {$_.Extension -eq ".vib"}
foreach($VBM in $VBMs){
Write-Host "$VBM was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $VBM.FullName \\netpath\filename
logWrite "$VBM was copied to c:\test --- $date"
foreach($VBK in $VBKs){
Write-Host "$VBK was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $VBK.FullName \\netpath\filename
logWrite "$VBK was copied to c:\test --- $date"
foreach($VIB in $VIBs){
Write-Host "$VIB was copied to C:\test"
Copy-Item $VIB.FullName \\netpath\filename
logWrite "$VIB was copied to c:\test --- $date"
"In this case you are handing a System.IO.FileSystemInfo.FileInfo object to the Copy-Item cmdlet. I think the cmdlet is probably defaulting to using the .Name property and that is not enough information for the copy to work. When you explicitly give the
.FullName property to the cmdlet, it now has the information that it needs."
I found this on Stack Overflow buried in the forums and it resolved all my issues. I have tried using that tool and it works very well, however, Powershell is what I am using for everything and I would like to keep it that way.
Thank you all for your time and help.
