How can you create a virtual copy in a Lightroom plugin?

I looked over the Lightroom SDK and did not see any documentation on creating a virtual copy. Is there an undocumented API for this?
If not, is there a plan to add this into the SDK?

Hi Matt,
Yeah, I have some good news and some bad news:
- Good news: Keyboard stuffing (as implemented in the elare framework) works equally well on both platforms, provided the appropriate keystroke exists on both platforms.
  (Mac version uses applescript, Windows uses autohotkey - both assure Lightroom is the target) - Note: @2011-07-30, I haven't actually tested this particular function on Mac - but I've tested other similar functions on both platforms.
- Bad news: It doesn't always work on either platform, since keystrokes may be usurped by open dialog boxes and open text fields in Lightroom...
- Good news: failure is 100% detectable.
Bottom line:
If the kludgy nature of this solution would be more bad than good for you and/or your users, then this is not a viable solution.
If your users would prefer the caveats in order to be able to get the job, then this solution will work well enough for now.
PS - I'm presently using it in ChangeManager and its a godsend for me. Since I understand the limitations, my failure rate is appx. 0%.

  • How can you create a spry menu bar with no background colour?

    How can you create the first level of a spry menu bar to have no colour? I have a coloured background right now and the colour matches when you load the site in Internet explorer but does not match in Firefox. Any suggestions are welcomed on how to fix this.
    Thanks!

    I am learning with code, (obviously) so any feedback would be nice. I use dreamweaver CS4, but when I originally designed the site it was in a much older version of dreamweaver. I wonder if that could also be a cause. (besides human error)
    Thanks again,

  • How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

    How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
    Thanks.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • How can you create a multi-page pdf document in photoshop elements 13?

    I previously had pse 11 and was able to create multi-page documents as pse files. However, pse 13 does not allow. How can I create multi-page pdf files from pse 13?

    Alas, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons, it's gone in recent versions. Only multipage file you can make is a photobook.

    Thanks Wayne. I'll have to try that. Although I'm wondering, doesn't Oracle have plans to use one-way password encryption at some point? making this method of password retrieval break?
    I've also found the following article. It talks about how the OIM API can get an authenticated user session from the authenticated WLS session. It's tantalizing! But doesn't really match my use case or reveal the inner mechanics of how the OIM API gets what it needs from WLS; and therefore I don't think I can subvert that mechanism to do impersonation.
    http://fusionsecurity.blogspot.com/2013/01/authenticating-oim-apis-without-end.html
    Another approach I'm looking at, which works if all i want to do is fire up a session for one specific user (e.g. an unprivileged service account), is to use creds (username and password) stored in the WLS Credential Store (CSF). See appendix A in:
    http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/oim/oim_11g/developing_oim_custom_approval_process_for_resource_provision/developing_oim_custom_approval_process_for_resource_provision.pdf

  • How can you create a contact sheet that you can email?

    I see that you can print a contact sheet but how can you make a contact sheet that you can email where receiver can open the thumbnails and view?

    Hi,
    You can either use Bridge and the Output workspace, or grab optional plug-ins for CS5 and run Ps on OSX in the 32 bit mode. (Or grab the excellent 3rd party script, Contact Sheet X, and run that in Ps. http://ps-scripts.sourceforge.net/ContactSheetX/csx.html).

  • How do you remember why you created a virtual copy?

    Virtual copies are really usefull but I'm already starting to struggle to remember why I created them (is this a senior moment...)
    I look in a folder where I've created various virtual copies for different crop sizes, exposures, toning etc. The trouble is this isn't always obvous and I find myself having to look at each image it turn and working out why it's here.
    Just wondered if anyone has the same problem and have any suggestions for solving it. I'm currently thinking of using a metadata field - perhaps job title?

    In Metadata you could note something under Workflow.

  • How can I create a Virtual Private Nework on my MacBook Pro?

    Hello all,
    I have a MacBook Pro 17" with OS X 10.4.7. I need to install and run five instances of Apache2 and demonstration the websites without having to be connected to a network/Internet. My /etc/hosts file would look something like:
    192.168.21.1 www.local
    192.168.21.2 svn.local
    192.168.21.3 trac.local
    192.168.21.4 jsp.local
    192.168.21.5 cfmx.local
    Then I could just open up a browser and type www.local in the url locator.
    How would I setup a virtual network card where I can assign these IP addresses to it? Would I use the lo0 (loopback) for this?
    I also have Parallels installed so that I can run one or more other operating system along side Mac OS X like Windows XP Pro, Redhat, etc.
    Is there a way that I could create a virtual private network on my MacBook Pro and not have to be connected to any network?
    How would I do this?
    Thanks,
    Troy Simpson

    As it turns out this is exactly what I am looking for:
    http://forum.parallels.com/thread1877.html
    I want to create a Host-Only Network on my MacBook Pro. The Parallels software created a virtual Network Interface Card on the Host OS called en2. I just added aditional IP Address to this virtual Network Interface Card.
    Even if you do not use Parallels for Hosting Guest OS (Virtual Machines), it does create the Virtual Network Interface Card.
    Now I have 5 Web Servers on my MacBook Pro so that I can test various senerios and configurations.

    Well this is what I thought too but I don't think I'm doing something right. I have a default website on port 80 and I created a second site on the same port. They are two different websites. One is the initial one that comes stock with the osx. The second one I created.
    When I browse to my server I get the second site. How can I get the default to be the one that points to the mail, wiki, calendar stuff, while my second domain is something totally different.
    http://myserver (should be the default stuff like mail.)
    http://myserver/mysecondsite (should be my other stuff.)
    The problem is that when I go to http://myserver it is going to http://myserver/mysecondsite
    What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

  • How can you create a swatch from a jpeg in Illustrator CS4?

    I am trying to create a jpeg image into a swatch in Illustrator CS4. In previous versions you could simply drag the image into the swatches toolbar and it would convert it automatically. Now when I do that nothing happens. When I click on new swatch it creates a colour swatch instead of the actual image itself.

    When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

    Use global variables.
    Compare them with a constant Boolean like F or T.
    The result is true or false and then you can use it in a Cae-Loop.

  • How can you create a voice recording and save it as an mp3?

    I want to create a voice recording and save it as an mp3.  How can I do that on the MAC?  Right now I can only think of recording the voice in iMovie, but it does not have a choice to save as an mp3.

    Rather that iMovie, you may want to check our Audacity.
    It's a free, open-source audio editor and recorder.
    You can easily save a recording as an MP3.
