Grouping albums with same name but different artist?

I have two albums in iTunes 7 which will not group correctly - either they show up as 24 or so separate albums or a single compilation or so on! I've tried marking them as compilations, as not compilations, you name it.
They share the same album name, but have different artists and genres. How can I convince iTunes that they are two distinct albums? (I would have thought this test should be part of the application's logic, to be honest!)
Gavin

Note: I have this album set to be a compilation, I have filled in Queen in all 17 tracks as the album artist and all 17 tracks have the same Album name, it still does not group together properly when sorting by Album Artist (only when sorting by Album Name).
iTunes 7 adds support for the ¨Album Artist¨ tag (as used and required by Windows Media Player). Adding support for this tag was actually a request I made myself a while ago.
Unfortunately iTunes is not using this tag in a useful way (as it was intended). The purpose of this tag (as used by Windows Media Player) is to cope with Albums that contain more than one artist, a good example album is Queen's Greatest Hits III (see http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=161431875&s=14344 4 ) this album contains tracks by or featuring David Bowie and George Michael (amongst others) as well as Queen themselves, despite this, everyone would consider the Album itself to be by Queen.
The purpose of the Album Artist tag is so that you can browse by the Album Artist and see the entire album listed (and not just those tracks specifically by Queen themselves). Therefore iTunes should if in browse view mode and sorted by Album Artist show the entire album grouped together - IT DOES NOT. Instead it appears to be being sub-sorted by Artist (as well as Album Artist) and this results in it being split in to 3 or more sections. This applies to all three view modes including the Coverflow view.
As things stand the only benefit I get from iTunes now supporting the Album Artist tag is greater compatibility with Windows Media Player, apart from that it appears completely useless in iTunes as currently implemented.

Two methods with same name but different return type?

Can I have two methods with same name but different return type in Java? I used to do this in C++ (method overloading or function overloading)
Here is my code:
import java.io.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String ar[]){
try{
//I give an invalid file name to throw IO error.
File file = new File("c:/invalid file name becasue of spaces");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file ,true);
writer.write("Test");
writer.close();
} catch (IOException IOe){
     System.out.println("Failure");
//call first method - displays stack trace on screen
     showerr(NPe);
//call second method - returns stack trace as string
        String msg = showerr(NPe);
        System.out.println(msg);
} // end of main
public static void showerr(Exception e){
     StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
     PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
     e.printStackTrace(pw);
     try{
     pw.close();
     sw.close();
     catch (IOException IOe){
     IOe.printStackTrace();
     String stackTrace = sw.toString();
     System.out.println("Null Ptr\n" + stackTrace );
}//end of first showerr
public static String showerr(Exception e){
     StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
     PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
     e.printStackTrace(pw);
     try{
     pw.close();
     sw.close();
     catch (IOException IOe){
     IOe.printStackTrace();
     return sw.toString();
}//end of second showerr
} // end of class
[\code]

Overloading is when you have multiple methods that have the same name and the same return type but take different parameters. See example
public class Overloader {
     public String buildError(Exception e){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( e.getClass().getName() )
               .append( " : " )
               .append( e.getMessage() ) ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
     public String buildError(String msg){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( msg ) ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
     public String buildErrors(int errCount){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( "There have been " )
               .append( errCount )
               .append( " errors encountered.") ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
}Make sense ???

Importing files with same name but different extensions

Hope I will be clear enough.
Lets say that instead of sending a file from Lightroom to an external editor, I open it directly in Photoshop.
When I'm done, I save the edited photo using the same name but in a different file format : IMG_1333.cr2 > IMG_1333.psd or IMG_1333.tif, and selecting the same folder location.
Then, I come back into Lightroom and synchronise the folder.
Why is the knew version of the picture not showing up beside the original file, despite the different extension ?
I notice that the different extensions ( .psd or .tif ) are recorded in the sidecar files field in the Metadata panel.
Of course, everything works fine if the file name is modified ( or just by selecting the "copy" option in Photoshop's "save as" dialog box ). Lightroom synchronise dialog shows the new photo to import.
So, why is Lightroom not making a difference between files with the same name but different format extensions ?
Thanks for any hint :-)
Gilles.

Gilles-
I think your problem is likely that you have the option to stack the copy with the original turned on. First, right-click on one of these photos and go to the stacking menu. If Unstack is not grayed out then you have a stack -- select Unstack to reveal all copies.
To change the automatic stacking of edited copies from Photoshop, when you next choose to edit a file, in the bottom left corner of the dialog is the check box for unstacking. Clear it, and that choice should "stick" until you change it again.
Hope this helps!

Why can't iTunes down load two songs with the same name but different artists to my iPhone?

I noticed this a couple of years ago but had forgotten about it. Today I purchased two songs, both called Bop Gun (One Nation) but by different artists. When I looked at the purchased list on one appears. If I go back to iTunes and download the other one, the former disappears. Are they honestly saying that these phones are intelligent enough to distinguish a song by artist rather than track listing?
Epic Fail!!!

Usually a song is uniquely identified by song name, artist, album and track number. That said internally I suspect the iTunes Store may allow one song to appear on more than one album while they only need to store one copy of the audio data. (They must also be able to cope with the situation, for example, where the UK & US version of an album have a different track order). It is also possible there is an error in the database that means you're not getting the song you're expecting. If you can't successfully download the two (presumably) different versions of the song then use the report a problem links in your account history and explain the issue. Hopefully the iTunes Store support staff can get it resolved.

Using multiple SSIDs with same name but different PSKs

I have a central WLC 2504 controller that is being used for remote site FlexConnect 1141 APs. They all advertise three different SSIDs. One SSID is a global SSID that is the same at every office. One is a hidden SSID using 802.1x machine auth.
The one I am trying to get working is the local office guest network. These SSIDs are all the same at each office but should have different PSKs. They are local to the office, therefore would only ever be applied to a specific FlexConnect group.
I understand why in theory this is generally not a good idea but given these are for remote sites I'd like it to be possible. I always get this message though:
"WLAN with duplicate SSID and L2 security policy found"
Is there a way around this? New WLC code that allows it maybe?

I was able to configure three (more I think possible) WLANs with same SSID name and all are WPA2-AES-PSK on the same WLC and all are enabled at hte same time.
Note that you can not have any of those broadcasting on same AP group. Each WLAN can be only broadcasted on a separate AP group. For your sites, It will probably need you to define an AP group for each site to broadcast different WLANs on different sites.
You can do that if all your WLANs have an ID of 17 or higher. (the reason is, WLANs of 1-16 are by default broadcasted on the default AP group. and because those can not be on the same AP group - including the default one - then you can't have them with WLAN IDs 1-16. i.e on same - default - AP group)

Change selected file to a file with same name but different extension.

So I'm getting better at using Automator to create useful Services but still a bit of a newbie with doing powerful things with AppleScript... and I think this task requires some applescripting. Here's what I want to do:
1. Based on a selected text file I want to run a pre-existing script that converts this file into an HTML file. This new file has the same name as the text file but has the .html extension rather than the .txt extension. (This step is easy enough and it works just fine already.)
2. BUT NOW, I want to take that resulting HTML file and run another pre-existing script that converts the HTML file into an RTF file. The problem is that I basically want to change the selection from selectedfile.TXT to selectedfile.HTML so that I can proceed to this next step...
3. AND THEN, I want to launch an app with this resulting RTF file. Again, I need to change the selection to selectedfile.RTF.
Right now this requires me to run three different services, and changing the selected file between each step... But I'm sure there's an easy applescript way (or other way) to do this using just one service -- probably involves some filename parsing and some magic to change the selection??? -- or something like that...
Could anyone point me in the right direction???
Thank you thank you thank you!
~zyyyy

You can chain your scripts together - depending on the complexity of your pre-existing scripts, you could do this with either AppleScript or Automator. The workflow would just take the selected text file (from step 1), convert to both HTML (2) and RTF (3), then launch your application with the resulting RTF - no need to change any selection.
By the way, this is the Tiger Automator forum - Snow Leopard's Automator is quite a bit different, so you will probably have better luck posting in the Snow Leopard forum.

How to mass-reindex files with same name but different file extensions

(reposting cos I'm confused about if I posted in the proper place before. Please delete if it is a repost.)
So I'm on a remote workflow. I pick all the raw data and convert it in two quality standards, one on 'high' with full specifications and one on 'low' so I can send 2gb instead of 80gb of files through the internet for me to work remotely on, and to speed up the overall work rhythm because files are lighter. All I need to do is to work at my home with the low quality files, send it back to the client's computer after finished, re-index all files in their high resolution twins and we are good to go to finish the product with highest quality possible. But both high and low quality files need to be the same extension, that I picked .mp4 for it is the standard for pretty much anything.
The point is, if I want to go full mobile, I only have an old HP Pavillion notebook and I really need to work with a video codec that goes very easy on it. I can only think about some 16:9 DV format. But the point is, this format generates a different file extension than my .mp4 standard, and Premiere, to my knowledge, really can't reindex files using only the file name while ignoring the file extension. It really should. And I really need to know how.
We also need to consider Premiere versions that allow themselves to be installed at x32 processors. My desktop is x64 and I really have no problem to work on these standards, the problem is, in my notebook I really can't.
So, halp?

i want to say it was added in cs7, which requires subscription, so in that case might as well be using latest version 8. if you had to use an older version like cs5, you could still use h264 or low bitrate dnxhd/prores codecs inside a quicktime .mov file. that would allow you to have same file ext on both versions of files.

Module with same name but different url

Hi
I am loading modules in my FlexLib super tab navigator
I have two modules
reports/sales/test.swf
reports/service/test.swf
First I load reports/sales/test.swf in one tab, when I try to load
reports/service/test.swf in next tab, it loads the reports/sales/test.swf again (I guess from cache)
It is really strange or am I doing some thing wrong.
Any help appreciated

Hi
Yes both Modules name is test.swf but there package/URL is different.
So you mean to say even if they are from different url/path, then we cannot have them loaded side by side ?
Thanks

How to create directories with same name in different schemas

I have two schemas on the same database.
I am trying to create directories with same name, but different paths in both the schemas.
When i created the directories in second schema, the directory paths of the first schema are automatically changed to the second path.
Is there any solution to create directories with same name, but different path in two different schemas on the same database.
Thanks,

Hi,
>>When i created the directories in second schema, the directory paths of the first schema are automatically changed to the second path.
If you have removed the REPLACE clause of your create statement, then you would see that is not possible.

Can I run 2 different domains with same name but on 2 different machines?

I am trying to setup 2 domains with same name (sharedcds1) on 2 different machines (Machine1 and Machine2).
          When I start the weblogic managed server 1 (sharedcds1managedserver1) on Machine2, it throws an error saying it has some conflicts with the managed server 1 running on Machine1. How did the managed server of one machine know about the other server. Can I run 2 different domains with same name but on 2 different machines?

Yes you can. Make sure that domains configured to use different multicast address. WLS uses multicast for communications between nodes in domain.
          although your configuration will work, you could have troubles if you going to execute inter-domain calls between domains/servers with the same names.

Can i have xml elements with same name but one is having attrbt..?

Hi all,
I am suppose to take input from one system into BPEL.That system is auto gererating xml file. But that file is strange. It has two xml element with
same name but with completely different sequence. First one is having two comlexTypes while second is having 5 simple types.
Now the difference is First element is having attribute while second is not.
So is that file is correct.?
thanks a lot.
/mishit

can you post the file? or load the file into JDeveloper and check the syntax or use XMLSpy for validation of the XML.

Mounting multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point on another server

We have a requirement where in we have multiple solaris servers and each solaris server has a directory with the same name.
The files in these directories will be different.
These same name directories on multiple severs has to be mounted to a single directory on another sever.
We are planning to use NFS, but it seems we can not mount multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point using NFS, and we need to create multiple mount points.
Is there any way we can achieve this so that all the directories can be mounted to a single mount point?

You can try to mount all these mount points via NFS in one additional server and then export this new tree again via NFS to all your servers.
No sure if this works. If this works, then you will have in this case just an additional level in the tree.

Two AM's with the same name but different forms causes Deployment problems

Two Masters forms, DOC & PM are cloned except for the "where clause" in the View's query and the titles in their JSP's.
DOC workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='DOCTOR'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\Doctor\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\Doctor\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute Doctor in JWS the records are getting filtered properly.
PM workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. Again The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='PAY_MODE'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\PMode\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute PM in JWS, the PM's JSP comes (the title is correct) but the records pertaining to DOC appears. I checked the View's xml file in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\ the "where clause" is correct. The xml & classes have the same name but their contents are different.
I want to know whether this problem is because both have the same name for the AM and the BC4JSP's property file.
Please clarify.

Deploying two app modules with the same name will definitely cause problems.
The JSPs use the information in the properties file to connect to the application module and get the data they need from the appropriate View Objects in those app modules. If you have two app modules with the same name, when a JSP tries to connect, it has no way of knowing which one of the app modules to connect to if they both have the same name.
You could:
1. Just use one application module that contains all the View Objects you need to access.
or
2. Rename one of the application modules or the package it is located in so the names are distinct. If you choose this method, you will also need to update the JSPs (specifically the 'registerApplicationFrompPopertyFile' method call), and your JSP project's appmodule property file.

Concatenate tables with same name from different servers - CR2013

Hello,
I need some help. I need data from 2 tables with the same name on different SQL servers thru an ODBC connection. When I try to get the data by adding both to my datasource I get data from one or the other. I have considered creating a view, but not sure how to handle this. Thanks.

Hi,
Linked Servers are pretty simple and straightforward, just do a search for the procedure.
I do have an additional comment, though. Depending on what tables you're gathering, I've found noticeable differences in performance when I use a connector to a DB on Server Instance "A" linked to "B" versus Server Instance B linked to A. I haven't determined the circumstances affecting one over the other.
If I'm not happy with speed using a connector A, I try switching to B. I like to use as much SQL code as possible, but you can't get around the connector still being a factor.
