Filenames within the Aperture container

I have recently bought Aperture and, having transferred all my photographs into it (>200Gb), I am now trying to move the Aperture library to my file server where I have plenty of storage space. However, when I tried to copy the file to my server which is running RHEL4 I get the error message that the filename is either too long or contains illegal characters. I've lookind inside the Aperture container and have found folders with names like "2006-09-13 @ 07/27/44 pm -1importgroup" which is what is likely to be the problem. Can these filenames be changed or at least avoided in the future and if so how? The folders relate to imported folders of images from my archive drives.

Though this is arguably a MacOS bug as it should replace the '/' character (valid in HFS+ but not in standard unix-a-like filesystems) with ':' when passing it out over the file sharing protocol in question (I'd guess the original poster is using SMB talking to Samba).

  • Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

    Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
    I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
    I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
    So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
    However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
    I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
    I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos  look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
    Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
    Regards
    Susan 

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Making an RFC call from within the VM container

    Hi all,
    since a long time I am searching for information on how to implement an RFC call from within the VMC. The problem is that we have implemented several (p)functions in ABAP and we need to implement them in JAVA.
    Now I am searching for a way how to just call the already existing pfunctions???

    Hi Freeto,
    This may be due to the Network Failures.
    If you have triggered a job then because of the Network fluctuations the system may not respond properly and cannot execute the job.
    So, this is the cause for the failure.
    Hope you understood.

  • FireFox 3.6 and Adobe Reader X. Reader X PDFs opened within the browser contain links, which do not work. Anyone got clues on why the links fail and how to fix?

    When we rolled out ReaderX and AcrobatX we uncheck the Diaply PDF in Browser window. OK with IE, but ignored in FireFox (3.6.16). We can live with that except the PDFs have links to other URLs and clicking on them is ignored. Same PDF opened outside the browser the links work fine. FireFox with Reader 9.4.0 no problem. Reader X with IE no problem. I can fix the Display in Browser with a change to firefox.js, but have not figured out how to fix the links when the PDF is displayed within the browser.

    My replies are in Bold.
    Thank you for your response and message.
    1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific  kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing  restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
    This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
    2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the  browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF  hosted on the internet?
    It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
    3.  Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you  could find it at C:\Program Files\Common  Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties  -> Details
    If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
    I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
    As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
    I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
    Anyway.... Cheers.

  • How can i locate the properties files within a ejb container?

    the code snippet is appreciated!

    In general, you should look at using environment entries (variables) in the
    deployment descriptors (both the war and EJB jar rather than properties
    files for configuring J2EE applications. The reasons for this are many:
    1. This is the official way to do it according to the spec. Properties
    files are the J2SE way of doing things
    2. As you note, that it's not obvious how you would (legally) read a
    properties file inside an EJB.
    3. It's consistent between the web and EJB part of your code
    4. the weblogic console and tools have good capabilities to edit these
    fields.

  • Are there any memory and cpu logging extensions that is addon, not process oriented, that will detect ram/cpu usage, even within the main Firefox process?

    And why wasn't this a feature in FF already? I hear it was, but it was dropped in FF4 as part of some kind of feature freeze? Why was this most important of all features removed, and how can I patch this? So I can use my browser properly again. Maybe an addon that would make about-addonsmemory detect that kind of stuff would do, maybe something that forces all addons to operate within the plugin container. Or maybe just something that will moniter everything right.

    The CPU usage part is the most important

  • How can I make a row of cells containing 3-digit decimals, who's values resulted from calculations within the spreadsheet, appear as durations of minutes and seconds?

    Row 6 in this spreadsheet is the result of Row 2/Row 3 as evidenced by the formula listed while Cell Y6 selected. How can I make the values in this row appear as durations of minutes and seconds rather than 3-digit decimals? For example, rather than appearing as 9.84 I would like the value of Cell Y6 to appear as 9:50 or 9min 50sec. (obviously .84x60seconds 50 seconds). I tried changing the cell formats from "number" to "duration," but no change is made. Using the "duration" format does however work if I am manually entering the decimal value into the cell rather than allowing it to result from another caluclation within the spreadsheet. Is there a solution to this within Numbers '09? You can see why I would want the "pace" displayed in minutes and seconds. Thanks in advance!
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    You wrote:
    "The problem is that my "Distance" is a row of automatically generated values resulting from ((Row1/60)*Row 6). Changing the format of Row 1 to minutes causes row two to be expressed as a duration, which obviously it shouldn't because it is a distance. The spreadsheet has to be designed so that all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace). The rest of the cells must be automatically poulated as a result of formulas."
    I'm assuming that where you say "Row 1" in this you mean "Row 2", which is labeled "Time" in the example in the OP.
    In the original post, you presented a formula from cell Y6. Replacing the Header labels in that formula's cell reference with the Addresses of the referenced cells, the formula was:
    Y6: =Y2/Y3
    In this post, you are saying that Y6 contains entered data: "...all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace).
    Which is correct?

  • URGENT:data type declaration of container within the method

    Hi
    My requirement is when the user revceives mail to approve/reject invoice ,the user attaches an attachmnet in the workitem stating the reson for approval/rejection of invoice.The attached attachement should be uploaded to invoice as an attachment.
    I have observed that the attachment attached by the user is stored in the container "office_document" and the type of the container is SOFM.
    To capture the attachment and send it to invoice i have created new task and new method in ZBUS2081.
    i created a container "office_doc_atta" in the workflow .the type of office_doc_atta is SOFM .
    in the method  as well as task i also declared parameter "office_doc_atta" of type sofm.
    to fetch the data from Task to method i have declared following table
    data:office_doc_atta type swc_object occurs 0 with header line.
    swc_get_table container 'office_doc_atta' office_doc_atta.
    I think that data type of "office_doc_atta" decalred within the method
    is wrong and i am unable to fetch data from the container.
    If anyone know what should be the data type of office_doc_atta within the method and how to fetch data from the task kindly let me know.
    Points will be rewarded.

    Try using SWOTOBJID instead of SWC_OBJECT.
    SWOTOBJID is the data type for a persistent object ID, while SWC_OBJECT is the data type for a runtime object ID (or reference or handle, if you are more familiar with any of those terms).
    Normally, an object will be passed by the persistent object ID. As the name reveals, the ID is persistent, i.e. remains the same. Therefore it can be stored in a database, and passed to the next step in a workflow - even if this step is executed by a different person another day.

  • Getting the offset of a placed PDF within the container rectangle

    I need to get the offset of a placed PDF inside of the container rectangle. I have figured out that this information should be available in the transformationMatrix of the placed file. So I do something like:
    var pdfTransform = pdf.transformValuesOf(CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates)[0];
    var horzTranslation = pdfTransform.horizontalTranslation;
    var vertTranslation = pdfTransform.verticalTranslation;
    but the coordinates I get back are just weird. The horizontal value seems reasonable, but the vertical is way off what I expect.
    There may be some precondition to doing this that I'm missing. Running the pageitems/TransformValuesOf.jsx sample from the Scripting Guide also gives weird values. That sample creates a rectangle with a center point of [0, 0] and then retrieves the transform. I would expect the translation to be [0, 0] but I actually get [5, -415.95] (horz, vert).
    In that sample it talks about ruler coordinates, so I tried setting document.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin to different values, but that does nothing.
    I'm stumped. Can someone please give me a hint on what's going on here?

    Thanks Peter.
    Some more info: I basically want to get the coordinates of the objects in a placed file in the coordinate space of the containing document. As an extra twist, the placed file is a PDF created from an InDesign document. So, I first extract the coordinates from that InDesign file, then the coordinates for the document that contains the placed PDF, and finally I merge the coordinates of the two documents as if all the objects were contained in a single document. This workflow is then used outside of InDesign to draw frames around all the object boxes on a JPEG created from the document containing the placed PDF.
    Anyhow, to answer my own original question, this seems to work thus far:
    rectOffset = containingRect.resolve(AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR, CoordinateSpaces.PASTEBOARD_COORDINATES)[0];
    pdfOffset = pdf.resolve(AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR, CoordinateSpaces.PASTEBOARD_COORDINATES)[0];
    horzTranslation = rectOffset[0] - pdfOffset[0];
    vertTranslation = rectOffset[1] - pdfOffset[1];
    That gives the same values as I can see in InDesign when selecting the placed PDF. So far so good ...
    BUT, that is not enough! When placing a PDF using the default option of Crop to Bounding Box, I sometimes get a bit of extra margin (different for different documents) that offsets the translation values. I have no idea where this margin comes from but I need to compensate for it.
    Please help! And let me know if this description is unclear so I can try to explain better.

  • I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

    I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

    That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
    As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums.  Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image.  You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example).  You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
    The easy way 'round:
    - Make a new Book Album
    - Select Images you may want to put in your Book.  Flag them.
    - Select some more.  Flag them.
    - Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
    - Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
    Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key.  This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
    Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication.  The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself.  The Book Album also holds the Book.
    A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
    The User Manual is helpful.  Here is
    the chapter on making Books. 
    From that chapter, here is
    the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

  • Applescript to open various files and add info from filename to the file

    Hi guys,
    first time using this forum...
    and first time trying to do a script for apple...
    I figured out how to do simple things... like open files and stuff to text files...  but don't know where to begin:
    I have a directory datalogs...
    within the directory i have multiple text files that have the following format:
    dataXXYYY_Waf2_7_19_11.csv
    dataXXYYY_Waf3_7_19_13.csv
    dataXXYYY_Waf25_7_19_16.csv
    typically 25 files, but sometimes less
    I would like to be able to take each file within the datalogs folder ...
    Scan the file name and look for the number afer Waf
    The number can be anywhere from (single digit) 1 to 25
    I would like to take that value after Waf  and then append a line in the txt file
    the line I would have to add will be 5 rows down and it shoulld say:
    wafer,1 
    the 1 above is the value that was in the file name....
    i.e.
    for the file
    dataXXYYY_Waf25_7_19_16.csv
    before append the file contains random data ... i.e.
    dummyline1
    dummyline2
    dummyline3
    dummyline4
    dummyline5
    dummyline6
    Then after the script...
    the file will be saved with same name:
    dataXXYYY_Waf25_7_19_16.csv
    and the data should look like:
    dummyline1
    dummyline2
    dummyline3
    dummyline4
    wafer,25
    dummyline5
    dummyline6
    any help will be appreciated
    -thanks

  • Determine Image Position within it's containing graphic frame.

    Hi,<br /><br />I am trying to obtain the offset of an image item within it's containing frame. i.e. if I set the top left co-ordiante to be x:10pt , y:10pt<br />I need to obtain this programatically.<br /><br />I have tried using Both the ITransformSuite and ITransformFacade without much luck. The values I am getting are not what I expect.<br /><br />I.e.<br /><br />>K2Vector<PMReal> i_x;<br />K2Vector<PMReal> i_y;<br /><br />>Utils<Facade::ITransformFacade>()->GetItemsTranslation( UIDList( imageRef ), Transform::InnerCoordinates(), &i_x, &i_y );<br /><br />always gives me 0,0 ( as you would expect ).<br /><br />>Transform::ParentCoordinates()<br /><br />Gives me a value but it doesn't seem to be relative to the top left of the containing image item.<br /><br />The strange thing is that if I create 2 image frames and import the same image, I get different values for the positions within the parent ( even if the positions of the images within their respective frames are the same in the InDesign"Control" panel  ).<br />But if I create a box and duplicate it and then import the images, I get the same values for the offsets ( although they are still not what I expect ).<br />This difference seems to be related to the original position a box is drawn with on the spread.<br /><br />Ultimately, I would like to obtain the scale, rotation, skew and offset of an image and then apply those same criteria to another image ( possibly on another document ).<br /><br />TIA,<br /><br />Mike.

    Aperture already works the way you want it to. "Rejected" is just another rating. Like all ratings, it doesn't move your image from its Project. (You can make a Smart Folder to show images rated as "rejected" -- just like you can create a Smart Folder for any rating (or series of ratings).) To see rejected images in a Project just press "{Control}+8". This and other filter short-cuts are built in Aperture. Click the magnifying glass icon inside the search field in top border of the Browser to see them.

  • Executing commands within .bat file sequentially within the same cmd window

    We have a .bat file that contains several commands. Each command invokes an .exe with arguments.
    When I invoke the .bat file programatically using the command "cmd.exe /c myfile.bat", the commands are running parallelly.
    Within the .bat file, I also tried using start "" /wait /b "myprocess.exe" instead of just
    "myprocess.exe", but both gives the same result.
    Any solution to this?
    Note:
    We use Windows 7 environment.

    I am invoking the batch programatically in c#.
    As per your suggestion, I modified the code as below to execute bat file directly instead of using cmd.exe.
    Process proc = new
    Process();
    proc.StartInfo.FileName
    = "c:\\myfile.bat";
    proc.Start();
    But still I could see the parallel execution of commands within the bat file.
    I was not able to use Call command as I have to invoke programatically.
    Is there a way to invoke Call command from c#?
