Generate a List of Referenced Files?

Hello,
Does anyone know how to generate a list of referenced files in a FrameMaker 8.0 file? I've consulted the User's Manual and online Help, and I can not find this information.
Thanks,
Amy

Special > List of > References. Then select Text Insets or Imported Graphics.
If you need both, do two LoRs.

  • How do I generate a list of all VIs that are in a TestStand (3.1) sequence?

    Can TestStand (3.1) generate a list of all the VIs that are included in the sequence?  I have a folder structure full of VIs and I know that not all are being used.  I'd like to identify the unused VIs.

    I hope there is no direct method to get the list of VI's, I will always try the following method
    This is the fairly easy way to get the list of VI's used in the Sequence
     Invoke ' Edit -> Sequence File Properties ' and in the  Load Option set  ' Preload When Opening Sequence File ' , after setting this property close and  open the corresponding Sequence file
    When the Sequence File is opened, all the VI's will be loaded in the Memory, so the below code in LabVIEW will list all the VI's in memory
    There is always other complicated Method, you have use the Teststand ActiveX to read all the Steps in the Sequence FIle and Get the Step names which has the LabVIEW Adapter.
    I am using TS 4.2.1, hope above mentioned options are in the TS 3.1

  • How do I stop Aperture consistently crashing when attempting to reconnect a few referenced files?

    Has anyone else run into this? It's driving me nuts.
    Many months ago I had Aperture move my referenced photos to a larger external hard drive. I just discovered recently that there's a small handful of images that it still thinks are on the old hard drive (even though it successfully moved the original files to the new hard drive, oddly). The full sized previews and all the meta data are still there in Aperture but it regards the photos as offline.
    So I select a few (<10) of the affected images, select the "Locate referenced files" option in the File menu, to get the "Referenced files in selection" window. I click on the new hard drive name in the lower panel and Aperture instantly displays the same photo on the new hard drive. I can arrow down through the ten or so images in the top panel and Aperture instantly displays all of them on the external hard drive.
    So I press "Reconnect all" and Wham! Aperture crashes. Consistently.
    It sometimes works with a single image, but not yet more than once before it crashes.
    Aperture has also been driving my nuts with the spinning ball since Mountain Lion and the latest update. (My hardware may be getting a bit out of date for this now, although it was working fine before--it's the fastest late 2009 13" MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM.) I've already tried repairing the library (Aperture forces me to do this after a about three of the abovecrashes). I've rebuilt the whole library (twice now). I've deleted the Aperture preferences and relaunched. I've deleted the Aperture application and reinstalled it from the AppStore.
    Any ideas on what I can try next? Thanks!

  • How do I generate a list of keyboard shortcuts for any given application

    I want to generate a list of keyboard shortcuts for all of the applications I have on my Mac. I want the list to be a simple text (or rtf) file that I can edit and organize. (By edit, I don't mean change the shortcuts, only the report of them.)
    I was using Key Cue, but it does not let me save the list to a text file.
    I want this for several purposes. One is to have a easy to reference list of shortcuts to learn. Another is to find unused key combinations that I can use for my own keyboard shortcuts that I create with DefaultKeyBinding.dict.
    Note: The program doesn't have to an OS X app. A program that runs from a shell without a GUI is plenty adequate.
    If there is a way to read the keyboard commands from a plist list or other such file, and any of you know the format for these or where I can find them, I can write a Perl script myself to do it.

    Well, the info is stored in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
    PlistPro has a way to convert it to ASCII, but you'll srtill have work to do, as...

  • File paths and archiving (and referenced files).

    I've come to the stage where I need to start using referenced files (out of disk space on my laptop) and also start archiving projects. One of my plans was to start keeping an off-site backup of all the originals in case something really bad happened. I'm also going to have on-site backup of projects. But for the off-site originals I would like to have some simple way of finding the photos in case something bad happens, my idea was to simply create a PDF from the list view where I could see the photo and the file path to where it's stored (I plan to store them in simple year-month-day hierarchy).
    The reason why I'm not going to archive the projects off-site is simply the cost, I did a test yesterday and it looks like just storing the originals would be approx 1/3 in size of the projects.
    If someone has a better idea of how to handle this please let me knoe

    I'll try to explain.
    About the cost: Hard disk space is really cheap and I can not see how the cost should be that expensive. This is based on your statement that you still have your images on your laptop and that itself limits the amount of space hence a rather small library.
    When it comes to backing up your projects you have several options. First, if you really want to be cheap about hard disk space (I think you should not since your images really are priceless) you can export projects of your referenced images and not consolidate the images into the exported project. Not to consolidate vs. consolidate images on export really makes a difference in the exported project size. On the other hand, not consolidate images on export of a project makes you back up your images separately, which leads to more work.
    My advice is then; buy two disks (preferable three disks), and export your projects with the images consolidated into one of them and start using the other one with your referenced images.
    I always advice users to have their images in at least three different locations and IMHO the ideal solution for you would be to have your images referenced on one disk and mirrored backups on the other two disks, either one stored in two different locations in case of burglary, fire etc.

  • Importing into Aperture 3 from iPhoto as referenced files

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything this topic...
    I've just upgraded to Aperture 3. In Aperture 2, my way of working was to store RAW images in iPhoto and import as referenced files into Aperture. This was very straightforward. Now, I have 2 problems:
    1 - I can't see how to import referenced images from iPhoto. If I use the import command, my iPhoto images don't show up in the list of locations to import from; if I use the iPhoto browser in Aperture and drag from that, it imports the file into the Aperture library rather than importing as a referenced file...
    2 - If I import using the iPhoto browser, not only does it import into the Aperture library, it imports the jpeg preview rather than the RAW file.
    The only way I can see to get the RAW file into Aperture is to find it in the Finder then import into the Aperture library. This seems excessively long-winded and also duplicates the file, using up extra disk space.
    I'm using Aperture 3.0.1 and iPhoto 7.1.5
    Thanks in advance for your input

    I have not imported an iPhoto library because my workflow is to to use Aperture for storing and archiving Raw files and iPhoto for exported jpegs.
    However the instruction in the Aperture 3 PDF Manual are as follows:-
    To import your iPhoto library
    Choose File > Import > iPhoto Library.
    Select the iPhoto library in the dialog that appears.
    Choose a location for the imported images by doing one of the following:
    • To store imported masters in the Aperture library: Choose “In the Aperture Library” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    • To import the files as referenced images stored in their current location on your hard disk: Choose “In their current location” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    Tip: Choosing“Intheircurrentlocation”isrecommended.Whenyouchoosethisoption, Aperture refers to the original files in their current location and does not have to duplicate the files, which doubles the disk space needed to store the files.

  • Generating a List of References in FM12 to include External Cross-References and Imported Graphics, but no Imported Graphic references show in the LOR.  Is this a bug in FM12 or what am I doing wrong?

    and has always generated the list of references just fine.  Now in FM12, the LOR no longer will give any references for the Imported Graphics.  I have even tried creating a new chapter from the FM12 templates, adding the chapter to the front of the book, and allowing FM12 to use that file as the template for the LOR.  Still no success - it will not give any references to the Imported Graphics in my chapter files.  Is this a bug in FM12?  Is there something different about FM12 that would cause this not to work with existing FM11 files???  Please help, I need this resolved and working.
    Thank you,
    Beverly

    Arnis and Jeff,
    Thank you both very much for your assistance.  I was able to figure out why the Adobe Application Manager kept failing on installing the patches.  Idiot me didn't unzip them first.  Once I unzipped the patch files, the installer worked fine.  Both patches are now successfully installed; my FM version is now 12.0.2..
    To answer some of your questions:
    Yes, I have administrator privileges on my PC.
    Yes, I had all of the files in the book opened when I generated and/or updated the LOR file.  So that was not the issue.
    With the patches installed, I opened a book and all of its files.  I updated the LOR and all works fine – it gives me all of the Imported Graphic references. So there must have been an issue with that release of FM12 (12.0.0.329), which was fixed with the patches.
    Again, thank you both for your help!
    Best regards,
    Beverly

  • Strange stack behaviour with referenced files

    I have just started to notice peculiar behaviour with referenced images within stacks. I have been reviewing last years pictures with a view to clearing out the junk.What I have found is rather alarming in that on clicking a stack to open it all the images within the stack were the wrong pictures, wrong as in taken with a different camera in a different year.The top picture does not seem to be affected.On attempting to find the correct files using 'manage referenced files' all the wrong images are shown as found in the list view with their own file names at the same time the thumbnails (top right hand pane) show the original correct file names but with the wrong thumbnails,Aperture does not realise that it is referencing the wrong files and so will not let me reconnect to the correct files.
    Anyone with a similar problem or a cure for this behaviour?

    Ok I have deleted and rebuilt thumbnails files to no avail.
    What appears to be happening is that aperture is using the wrong file-path for the affected pictures.
    I keep all pictures arranged by date order so for example where the correct file path for an image would be;
    Raid Zero/Pictures/2006/0609/060928/pict3722
    Aperture is giving a file path of
    Picture Library/2007/0712/071223/_DCS1023
    in the manage referenced files pane it shows the wrong path as above, the thumbnail picture is of the wrong file but the thumbnail name and date is correct.
    Interestingly since rebuilding the thumbs it is now possible to reconnect to the correct original file whereas before the reconnect option was not available, however it is only possible to do this one file at a time,the re-connect all function does not work presumably because Aperture is not aware that its filepath is wrong.
    Oh dear.... Aperture has just crashed,this immediately after reconnecting 6 files and waiting for the files to update to the correct image in viewer mode.
    GRRRRRRRRR!

  • Problems "locating" referenced files after importing from iPhoto.

    I recently began importing old iPhoto libraries to Aperture, mostly successfully, but have run into a couple problems locating referenced files. While the locate referenced files function worked for most of the photos, there are a handful of photos that, when I located the original file,  the time stamp was different (by 2 hours in most cases) and it was about 15% smaller than the file Aperture was looking for. As a result, even though it was clear from the thumbnails that they were the same images, Aperture doesn't even give me the option to Reconnect them.
    Aperture 3.4.5
    OS X 10.7.5

    . I use the Reconnect All button, but it only finds the one file, even when there are hundreds more in the same folder that are unlinked.
    Reconnect all works best, if you select all files that need reconnecting at once, and then select the first file in the list to reconnect. If the other files are in the same folder and are correctly named and match, then "reconnect all" should do it. But if the filenames differ, you will have to do it one by one.
    Also,  the files are all still correctly linked in iPhoto, but every single link is broken once I import it to Aperture.
    You are importing with "File > Import > Library", correct?
    That is supposed to work. Have you tried to repair your iPhoto Library before importing to Aperture?
    Use iPhotos First Aid Tools to repair:
    Try to repair the permissions, followed by repairing the library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools,  hold down the Command and Option keys ⌥⌘ while double-clicking the iPhoto library or the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
    The iPhoto Library First Aid dialog appears.  Select the Repair option you want to use - first "permissions", then "database".

  • Change from managed to referenced files

    My hard drive is full, so I'd like to move all the managed master files in my Aperture 3 library off my internal hard drive onto an external 'photos' hard drive as referenced masters instead. Although I feel like I understand the general principles of what's involved, I have some specific questions I'm hoping some more experience A3 users can help with:
    What command in Aperture do I use to move all the managed master files in my Aperture 3 library off my internal hard drive onto an external one, converting them all to referenced masters? (I can only seem to find instructions for going the other way (consolidating referenced masters into the library) or for moving masters that are already referenced.)
    After all my master files are converted to referenced masters, if the referenced external hard drive is disconnected, will I still be able to make adjustments to the 'off-line' files using the previews stored in the library? (e.g.: adjust colours, crop)
    After all my master files are converted to referenced masters, if the referenced external hard drive is disconnected, will I still be able to edit the metadata for those off-line files using the previews stored in the library? (e.g.: change time, add keywords)
    Time Machine automatically back-up the referenced master files on the external 'photos' hard drive? (I understand that this would at the very minimum require that my Time Machine external back-up hard drive be big enough to back-up both my internal drive and my photos external drive -- which it is.)
    Regardless of the Time Machine answer in #4, if I duplicate the photo directory on my external 'photos' hard drive onto another external drive as a back-up, and then if the 'photos' hard drive fails, is it a simple process to get Aperture to point to the files on the back-up hard drive and use those instead?
    Thanks everyone!! I really look forward to your feedback.

    1. Under File use Relocate Masters for ... (project, library, depending on what's selected on the Library tab) and choose the destination on your external Hard Drive
    2. You won't be able to make adjustments to the files once the Hard Drive is disconnected ( the masters are offline). You can only rotate the images.
    3. Yes, you can make all sorts of metadata edits to off line masters as well as create albums, rate, etc.
    4. Yes it will. You need to deselect your External Hard Drive from the list of excluded files to Back Up from System Preferences, Time Machine, Options.
    5. The process to re link Aperture to your back up Masters on your 2nd Hard Drive is simple, but not automatic. Aperture keeps track of your Hard Drive on which masters are stored, so you'll need to use the Locate Referenced Files menu under File. Ideally, if you select the Library and use the Locate Refernced Files, you just point Aperture to the first file on the list and then select Reconnect All, but it can be time consuming depending on the size of your library.

  • Locate referenced files problems

    hi there,
    i have a big problem with aperture "locate referenced files" dialog panel.
    it doesn't allows me to select the source hd where files are stored.
    i usually create new library and import files as referenced. but when you move them to another hd, and Aperture doesn't find them, it seems impossible to select the new source hd.
    can anybody help me? it is a Aperture's problem or a conflict within Aperture and Os?
    is a matter of the hard disk?

    In the Info dialog, what is listed under "General➞Format"?
    the format is macos extended (journaled)
    i made a little video to explane what appens. you can follow it here

  • "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Files" (and "Locate Referenced Files")

    I am trying to follow the Help Documentation item "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Master" (not sure if there is a way to post a URL to this) and I am not seeing what it is telling me to do.
    I am going to Edit > Find and it is telling me to "Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser". Is this referring to a browser in the Aperture UI or is this in the Filter HUD display? I am not finding this.
    Also, it saying that in the Filter HUD I should "choose File Status from the Add Filter pop-up menu, and select the 'File Status' checkbox." and I am not seeing this either. Does anyone know where this is at?
    Lastly, I see that there is a command called File > Locate Referenced Files and when I run this I get a "No Referenced Files in the /current/ selection. I have realized that I don't quite understand whether I am running this search for a specific Project and/or whether I have to make a specific selection in the left hand pane when I run a FILTER HUD or whether this automatically defaults to search the whole database. Does it matter what I have selected in the current Browser View when I run either of these commands?
    Thanks for any help in my getting this working better for me.

    1.  Just copy and paste the URL from the on-line User Manual.  Very helpful.  Are you on this page?
    2.  From the above-linked page:
    Show the Filter HUD by doing one of the following:
    Choose Edit > Find (or press Command-F).
    Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser.
    The instructions specify ONE of the following.  Your question indicates to me that you are trying to do both.
    3.  The User Manual has used the wrong term here.  It should say "Choose 'File Status' from the 'Add RULE' pop-up menu."
    4.  The command -- like all commands? -- works on the currently selected Images.  On the same page in the User Manual it says:
    You can select a group of images in the Browser and Aperture can show a list of the referenced images within the selection, including information about where the masters are located. {Emphasis mine.}
    5.  The Aperture workspace is highly configurable.  I don't know what you mean by "the left-hand pane".  Of what?
    6.  Yes.  Of course it matters.  At some point in the 80's when the GUI became standard computers standardized on the "Noun→Verb" syntax:  Select object(s), select command(s).
    7.  Not sure what the second command to which your refer is.

  • How to generate a list of  pick dates for all scheduled deliveries?

    Hi!
      How to generate a list of  pick dates for all scheduled deliveries?
      What all the tables involved?
    Thanks
    Imran.

    Thanks for the suggestion concerning the file path.  And certainly it would have been nice to have done this before beginning.  However this is a project that has been around for quite a while, and the files have been moved into different bins.  And now the project sequence is being revised.
    So the problem is, worded slightly differently, how can I search all of the bins for the files that are used just by this sequence, ignoring the files which are used by other sequences?  Or, how can I get a list of the file paths of the files that are used in the sequence?

  • Help with a referenced file issue

    Ok, when I import photos, I import them into the Aperture library. I do not reference other file locations. So here is what happened. I exported a project from one aperture library on an external HD to imported it into another library on a different drive. Everythign seemed to be fine, the files were there. Well, I went to open up a file and it keeps telling me "NO REFERENCED FILES The selection doesn’t have any referenced files." for all the photos. If I right click and choose Locate referenced files, I get the exact same message! Help! I really do not need the full size images and thought I could just drag and drop the picture it is showing me, but that is a no go as well...is there any way for me to 1. find if the original files are in my library somewhere (my gut says no) or 2. obviously aperture has some sort of file since I can see them and expand them to fullscreen...can I get those from anywhere??
    Thanks in advance!

    This is one of the more frustrating "features" of Aperture. (In my opinion, at least. There are plenty of folks here who see this as The Way It Should Be.)
    When you let Aperture manage your library, it does just that -- it is managing the location and manipulation of your files, and doing its best to keep you from accessing the master images directly outside Aperture. On a referenced library, Aperture will show you the individual master file in the Finder. On a managed library, that's disabled. The argument goes that this prevents you from manipulating the file in a way that would screw up Aperture's management of your edits/versions. And I see that point. Still, I wish I could tell Aperture to trust me enough to let me see my own files when I need to. There are plenty of times when I'd like to copy a file somewhere without using Aperture's "export" feature, and copying a file does nothing to harm the gentle balance of Aperture's library.
    You CAN still drag & drop with a managed library, however. The key is that you have to turn on previews. This generates a small jpg for each of your files, which you can drag anywhere (including the desktop). In preferences, you can decide how large you want previews to be, and you can tell Aperture to generate previews whenever you import new files. For your existing library, you just need to select everything, right click, and "Update previews." It will take some time, but will eventually chug through them all. Once it's finished, you can drag from the Aperture browser window just as if you were dragging from a finder window. Again, the size of the file you're dragging will depend on the quality you've selected in preferences for Previews.

  • CC Illustrator asking for referenced files upon opening (DropBox)

    I locate my CC Illustrator file on DropBox.  All of the files it references are also on DropBox.   I work exclusively on the Illustrator file on DropBox (I never download it to my computer and work on it).  I do this so that my wife can also open this Illustator file (on DropBox) from her computer and work on it - again with all of the referenced files located on DropBox.  She never downloads the file to her computer.  I just want to be clear about that. : )
    PROBLEM:
    1) I work on Illustator file on my computer then close it.  My wife opens it on her computer.  Illustator shows dialog box "Can't find _____.png file"   Do you want to Replace, Ignore or Cancel.
    So we "reconnect" by hitting "Replace" finding the file on DropBox that my computer always referenced.   The Illustator file opens, everything is in its place.
    2) My wife makes no changes to the file.  tries to "Close" the file and it asks her to "Save As".
    QUESTIONS:
    1)  Why does my wife have to locate reference files when all of the work is done on DropBox and all of the refence file are located on DropBox?
    2) Why does she have to "Save As" and replace the main file (located and opened on DropBox) when she has made no changes to the file?
    If it helps any, you should know we share the exact same DropBox account (not just a shared folder) which is set up on her computer and on my computer.

    The only thing I can think of why centralizing the folder on DropBox isn't working is that the pictures being referenced when on my computer are probably listed in Illustrator as:
    DropBox/mycomputer/Macintosh HD/Users...etc.
    Whereas when my wife opens this illus. file on her computer, it wonders where "mycomputer" went to.  So, she relinks the pic files and now Illust. makes the new links as:
    DropBox/hercomputer/MacintoshHD/Users...etc.
    She makes changes while the file (and all pic files) are still located on DropBox.
    I then open the file located on DropBox and it says "Hey, man, where is the pic file listed now as "DropBox/hercomputer/Mac HD...".  I then have to relink and then the new reference is DropBox/mycomputer/MacHD..."
    Not sure if that's why but that's my guess.
    The Old Thread above wrote about an Absolute Path that Illy is using. 
    Is that the official answer from the Adobe Illy team?  Is there a good reason for this?  How can multiple people work on a single file and ref files stored on a server and not have these pop-up, relinking dialogue boxes happen?
