How the **** do I use the Dumpster tool???

Dear knowledgeable souls!
I have recently downloaded the Dumpster tool, but have no idea how to make it work, I have done the google thang and found no help...
can anyone explain? how to simply analyse a quicktime file with this tool, I open it and it doesn't appear in the dock or anywhere else, I'm sure this must seem amusing to many developers, but it be so frustrating that there is no easy lame tutorial for a mere mortal like me!
any guidance would be truly helpful.

Hi Nick, I also posted this query in the QT forum, got a few good answers, but still trying to get it to work,however thought I would share their insight.

**Dumpster is an antique - I can't find any reference to it being updated in several years - so it may well not be Snow Leopard compatible. I don't find any mention of it on Apple's web site, normal or Developer, any longer, as is the case with most of their old QT tools. So you may be at a dead end with that tool, though if you search for "dumpster" in the Apple mailing lists:**
**http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo**
**you'll find a number of mentions of Dumpster, one or more which might be of help in figuring it out (though I couldn't find anything really useful on a quick scan).**

*so it may well not be Snow Leopard compatible+
*It still works under both OS 10.5.8 and OS 10.6.7 Leopard/Snow Leopard versions.*
*I have recently downloaded the Dumpster tool, but have no idea how to make it work+
*Simply drag the Finder icon of the file you wish to analyze and drop it on Dumpster finder icon. When the window opens, there will a number of bold text entries in single quotes. Clicking on these entries will expand or collapse various fields of data for the various headers and tracks. I still find the application very handy when tracing the allocation and distribution of data when troubleshooting encoding quality issues.*
*As far as I know there is no user guide per se. You are more or less on your own using it.*
Hope that clears a few things up for anyone else, who was intrigued by this mystery program!

How do I 1)use airbrush type tool in illustrator CS4 or 2) use PS4 airbrush tool on vector line art?

That's basically my question in a nutty nut. I am drawing illustrations in Illustrator,
can't find an airbrush tool there, so I export to Photoshop to use that airbrush and the
lines pixelate. I want the clean, vector lines of Illustrator with the yummy fuzzy airbrush tool. In short, can I go back and forth from Illustrator to Photoshop without the line art ping ponging between pixel and vector?

See this PDF for one approach. The subject was really more about exploring ways to exploit Isolation Mode, but it does so in the context of a poor-man's "airbrush" effect.
I want the clean, vector lines of Illustrator with the yummy fuzzy airbrush tool.
In reality, then, you're not wanting vector artwork to look like vector artwork. Here's the thing:
Vector artwork, is by its fundamental nature "hard edged." That's one of its advantages and one of its disadvantages. Soft-edged fuzzy effect (and its sister, texture) is one of the mainstays of raster imaging. It's one of the main reasons why there are two primary kinds of computer graphics.
Historically, soft edges and graduations are primarily done with Blends and Graduated Fills. A Blend is really just a semi-automated stack of multiple paths with incrementally changing color. Grad fills are mathematically-defined variations of a path's fill color across the path. Generally speaking, grad fills are limited to a small set of geometric shapes. For most of Illustrator's history that was a very limited set: linear or radial. So when you needed to render tonal graduations in more elaborate shapes, you employed Blends.
More recently, programs have acquired a newer construct, which is an elaboration of grad fills: Mesh Grads. Mesh Grads are also mathematically-derived and remain as such up to print time--that is, they are vector. They offer more control over the shape of the color transitions. But that control is quite tedious, and is not at all like painting with an airbrush.
That's about the extent of it when it comes to maintaining "clean, vector edges". With skill and discernment, the results can look just as realistic as airbrush work, and it can be entirely vector. But the interface for doing it is not an emulation of painitng with an airbrush.
Far more common than a purely vector tool in a vector drawing program that tries to act like an airbrush is the workaround of applying filters or effects to vector paths. Doing that is not purely vector: It's actually rasterization that is re-applied whenever you edit the paths. If you set such an effect as the current default, then you can draw paths with the Brush tool, the Pencil Tool, or really, any of the vector path tools, and that's about as close to emulating an airbrush in a vector program as you'll get. The PDF mentioned above employs that kind of approach. But you should understand, you're really creating raster images when you do that. It's just that, rather than the raster images being "nailed down", they are effectively deleted and re-created on-the-fly if you edit the paths to which the effect is applied.
Illustrator isn't great at this. Other programs--Xara Xtreme in particular--do it much faster and responsively. But again, even though it retains the lossless editability advantage of vector art, the soft-edged effects are not really vector art. The are on-the-fly rasterizations of vector art.
Look up Blends, Grads, and Mesh Grad in Illustrator's Help files.

How do I use the brush tool on a video in cs6? It only stays on one frame?

How do I get what I create with the brush tool to stay on every frame in my video? I've got some footage of a car trip and I'm trying to use the brush tool to make a super 8 looking border, but it vanishes when I play the video because its only on one frame.

When Photoshop just won't work properly, try replacing the Preferences file by using this procedure:
Open Photoshop and save your custom goodies. Choose Edit→Presets→Preset Manager to save sets of styles, brushes, and other such bits and pieces you created. Use the Save Actions command in the Actions palette menu to save any sets of custom Actions.
Review your Preferences. Open Photoshop's Preferences and go through each pane, noting your preferred settings so that you can restore your work environment later.
Quit Photoshop. You can close the program like this:
On a Mac: Hold down Command+Shift+Option and restart Photoshop. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.
On a PC: Restart Photoshop; immediately press and hold down Ctrl+Shift+Alt. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.

How can I add to an existing path using the pencil tool?

This probably seems like a rather elementary question, but
whenever I draw a path using the pencil tool, reselect it,
hover over the endpoint, and the click and drag to extend
the line off into a different direction, Illustrator will often
(but not always) erase the existing path and leave only the
new one that I drew.
To wit:
In step 1 above, I draw a line with the Pencil tool.
In step 2 above, I reselect the line from step 1, hover over the endpoint, and then continue to draw further.
However, as can be seen in step 3, the line from step 1 disappears after I draw the new path.
I am aware of the pencil setting, "Edit selected paths", and I have checked it to edit selected paths
within 12 pixels for the above example. What I am doing in the above example, and what I
want to do, is to be able to add more paths onto an existing one using the pencil tool,
rather than have a completely new path being drawn every time I lift up my pen to finish
drawing the previous path.
I also realize that I can do this with the pen tool; but the pen tool is a more
precise tool (and somewhat more cumbersome), and I prefer to have more
of the rough-handed look from time to time.
Finally, I also know that I can use the direct selection tool to select endpoints
from two different paths and then join them using the join command;
but this seems to be more trouble than it's worth in many cases, especially
if I want to do it frequently for a more long and complicated line.
Am I expecting too much out of Illustrator?
Is my idea of how to use the existing tools wrong in this case?
Is there some piece of knowledge I'm missing?
I'm on Illustrator CS5, Mac OS X 10.6.8, using a Wacom Intuos4 tablet.
However, I have confirmed the above on Illustrator CS4 for Mac as well.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated.
Jeff

Thanks @rcraighead - the Live Paint process seems a bit overkill for simply adding
a new path onto an existing pencil path, but I did try the first idea you suggested,
which was tracing a bit over the last part of the existing path and then continuing
on to extend the path. It's a bit imprecise because the existing path gets slightly
modified, but it seems to work pretty well all in all. Nice idea indeed - thanks a million.
I also found that in AI CS5, I can use the selection tool to select all of the paths
in this case and then join them using the join command. I thought I needed to
select individual anchor points for this to work, but it actually works really
well, better than I thought. I seem to recall that previous versions of Illustrator
were a lot more picky with the Join command, but then again this might just
have been my lack of understanding.
I'm curious to know what other solutions to the above problem that other users
might have, so I will leave this question unanswered for a bit...
but I will use your initial technique described - it seems to work
pretty well, in absence of other options Many thanks again for your timely help.

How do I send a 2-10 MHz pulse train to my DAQ 6052E why simultaneously reading in data? I'm using the NIDAQ Tools with Igor Pro.

I need to send a continuous 2-10MHz TTL timing signal to a low pass filter (to set the cutoff frequency) while I collect data from one of the analog inputs. I'm hoping that I can send the TTL signal and collect the data through the same DAQ 6052E board.
I've been told that I can send a pulse train using one of the two counters on the board. But does anyone have more specific advice how to implement this using the NIDAQ Tools extensions to IGOR Pro? In particular I'm concerned about how I can send a continuous TTL signal and simultaneously read data. Or can you just turn on the timing signal and it stays on until it's
turned off again?
Thanks for your help

You can program one of the counters to generate a continuous pulse train. Once programmed to do so the counter needs no further interaction. It will continue to generate the signal until stopped through SW. So you can start the counter using the functions provided to you, then forget about it and program the AI operations.

How do I use the move tool in CS5 to put two images on to an A4 sheet?

Have recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5.
I often print out two images on A4 paper. Under CS3 I would simply adjust and crop 2 images to say 7 ins x 5 ins, after that bring up a new A4 sized sheet (file, new), then using the move tool I'd move the two separate images on to the A4 sheet and print. Fine!
Now under CS5, once I've adjusted my first image then try to bring up a second image to adjust that one I seem to lose the first one from the screen. But on going back via Bridge and clicking on the image it re-appears - problem is, I lose the second image.
When I bring up a new A4 sheet neither of the images stay on the screen and there is nothing to move.
Have been into Preferences to see if there is anything there to help but can't see anything.
Does anyone know what is happening here and what I'm doing wrong i.e. how do I get 2 separate images on to an A4 sheet?
Thanks,
Bob Eveleigh.

There have been changes since cs3, mainly that cs5 uses tabs.
Tabs can be confusing if your coming from cs3.
If your in the tabbed mode, try going to Window>Arrange>Tile.
All your open documents should be visible on the screen.

How do you use the alignment tools for placing and inserting images in pages 5.2?

Hi Ivy Janelle,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
In Pages 5, you can insert images using the Media browser at the top of the document window. Once you insert them, you can edit and arrange images using the Format inspector--the paintbrush icon in the top right. You can find detailed information about inserting and using images at these links:

How can I use the move tool to drag ONE pixel at a time?

The move tool is stuck to snapping at ~20 pixels at a time, so when I try to move a layer by a few pixels, its super frustrating. I dont want to have to use the arrow keys, I should be able to drag wherever I want.
How can I stop the move tool from snapping? I want to drag things precisely. I am zoomed at 100% if that makes a difference. I cant find anything about this under Preferences.

How to migrate Master Data (Rule set etc.) from GRC 5.3 to 10.1 without using the "Migration Tool"

Greetings,
We are currently on GRC 5.3 SP 18 (Java ONLY) and migrating to GRC 10.1. I referred the Migration Guide which outlines that GRC 5.3 needs to be upgraded to SP 20 as pre-requisite for using the "Migration Tool" . Our BASIS team is reluctant to perform this upgrade from SP 18 to SP 20.
Having said thus, I'm exploring options of migrating data from 5.3 to 10.1 without using the "Migration Tool:.
Rule set Migration:
I'm in the process of preparing the 9 different files (listed below) and later utilize the "Upload Rule" option for migrating the Rule set data from 5.3 to 10.1.
While I'm able to gather data for most of the files I'm not sure how can I obtain the data pertaining to the two files (Function Actions and Function Permissions) underlined and highlighted in Red below.
1. Business Process
2. Function
3. Function Business Process
4. Function Actions
5 .Function Permissions
6. Rule Set
7. Risk
8. Risk Description
9. Risk Rule Set Relationship
10. Risk Owner Relationship
Can someone please enlighten me and share their experience with regards to this exercise. Really appreciate your help !
- Janantik.

I have done this successfully before. Because you are having issues, I would NOT recommend using the migration tool to move the ruleset. Instead:
1. Download the ruleset files from 5.3
2. The 5.3 tcode-permission file, which defines which tcode permissions from SU24 need to be checked during risk analysis, needs to be split into the two files you mention above in red.
FUNCTION_ACTION : this file represents S_TCODE objects and TCD fields mapped to each function (Function to Tcode relationship). In the 5.3 file, you will filter on object S_TCODE and field TCD, and you will get a complete list that now represents "FUNCTION_ACTION". BUT instead of having all the jumbled permission info, you will just have 3 columns: Function - Tcode - Status.
3. The remaining permissions that are left over, after taking out the S_TCODE -TCD items, represent the "FUNCTION_PERMISSION" file in GRC 10.
4. Manually create the excel spreadsheets for each file.
5. Copy and past each sheet to a unique .txt file.
6. Upload the ruleset manually through SPRO-->GRC-->Access Control-->Access Risk Analysis-->SoD Rules-->Upload SoD Rules.
7. Select each file and then upload to the correct Logical Group.
This is a huge pain, but it works. Let me know how this goes and if you need any assistance.
