How to add/restore user-defined presets (.cst files)?

Having recently fixed my corrupted install of GB2 with a clean install of GB3, I want to restore all my customized twiddles. Restoring all my self-made and 3rd-party loops was as easy as dragging them to the Loop Browser. I'm less sure about how to restore things like my self-made Real Instrument presets and so forth (all those fiddly .cst files).
From my old GB2 install, I archived the whole /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/ tree, so all my presets and everything are saved in their correct locations under that path. So, for example, I can drill on down to my archived [...]/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/Amp Simulation/ and find my old user-defined .cst presets.
When I drag them to the appropriate [...]/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/Amp Simulation/ location in the support files tree of my new GB 3 installation, I get a warning that I need authorization. This is presumably a permissions issue, and if I authorize it by typing in my admin password, my old .cst files will be where I want them.
But I have a nagging worry about whether they'll be correctly recognized by GarageBand when I then restart it. Is there some other better/different way to get my old .cst presets recognized in the new installation? Will they not appear because they haven't been indexed or something? I want to be sure of the best way to do this so I don't mess up my shiny new GB3 installation

Making the backup archive before futzing around is certainly a good idea And, yes, there is quite a bunch of Instrument Library stuff new for GB3 that wasn't there in my GB2! (I look forward to messing with it
When trying to copy my .cst and .pst files, when I clicked the Authenticate button on the you-ain't-got-permissions dialog box that came up, nothing happened. So I twiddled the permissions for the whole Instrument Library via Get Info, and then moved my stuff. That worked, though of course, Repair Permissions in Disk Utility won't fix them back now because the files aren't on the Start-Up disk. But, hopefully, it shouldn't really matter!
For some reason, it still wouldn't recognize the added .cst and .pst files until I'd trashed the GB .plist/.cs and restarted, but now it seems to be fine. It was a bit slow to respond when I tested things be selecting some of my newly restored presets, but perhaps that's because it was still indexing. I haven't really checked it all through thoroughly to make sure things sound all right, but the signs are good

  • How to add a user defined HTTP header field?

    Hi, everyone!
    I want to add a user defined HTTP header field to a HTTP
    response header.
    I use the following statements in testHeader.jsp
    response.addHeader("myheader", "123");
    response.sendRedirect("middleHeader.jsp");
    in middleHeader.jsp,
    out.print(request.getHeader("myheader"));
    But the output in middleHeader.jsp is null!
    How to add a user defined HTTP header field to a HTTP
    response header? Are there some sample codes?
    Cheers,
    George

    the send redirect actually creates a new request (through the client) and thus a new response
    thus the headers you set in the response are gone for the next request/response
    You can try servletDispatcher.forward

  • How to add a user defined constructor to an existing type?

    Hi,
    I want to alter an existing type (ORDSys.ORDVideo), where I do not have the source code of the type body. There is only a wrapped version, where I don't know, how to alter it.
    Because the existing functions use the constructor of the original type I can't simply add new attributes. That's why I want to add a new user defined constructor which equals the old built in.
    Is there any way to do this, without having the bodys source code?
    Thanks, Christian

    Unfortunately, No.
    <quote source="oracle_documentation">
    Oracle interMedia describes the ORDVideo object type, which supports the storage and management of video data.
    </quote>
    It comes along with the Oracle interMedia and the modifications could not be performed by the customer.
    You could however, try to create a derived type based on this type and add your constructors/functions on top.

  • I have the code for this project, but how do I add this user-defined exception that I want?

    For a final VB.NET project, I have to write a project that ascends and descends a word or number chosen by the user. 
    This is what I want to do:
    I want to add a user defined error that will stop the program and tell the user to input a value into the program if they did not. I do not know how to do this. I think I would use a Null Reference exception. 
    Here is the code for the project:
    Module Module1 'VB.NET Final Project 12/30/14 . Option 3: Write a program to run two separate threads printing numbers or words (It can do both) in ascending and descending orders. The words have to be given by the user.
        Dim Ascending As System.Threading.Thread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf PrintAscend) 'Two threads are declared,
        Dim Descending As System.Threading.Thread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf PrintDescend) 'ascending and descending 
        Sub Main()
            Console.WriteLine("VB.NET Final Project 12/30/14 . Option 3: Write a program to run two separate threads printing numbers or words (It can do both) in ascending and descending orders. The words have to be given by the user.")
            Ascending.Start() 'starts first thread
        End Sub
        Sub PrintAscend()
            Console.WriteLine("Please type in a word to print in ascending order.") 'the program asks for users to input a word
            Dim input As String 'as a string
            input = Console.ReadLine()
            For i As Integer = 0 To input.Length - 1
                Console.WriteLine(input.Chars(i)) 'prints the letters of the word in ascending order 
            Next
            If Ascending.ThreadState = Threading.ThreadState.Running Then Descending.Start() 'starts second thread
        End Sub
        Sub PrintDescend()
            Console.WriteLine("Please type in a word or number to print in descending order.")
            Dim input As String
            input = Console.ReadLine() 'user inputs the word that he wants
            For i As Integer = input.Length - 1 To 0 Step -1
                Console.WriteLine(input.Chars(i)) 'prints the letters of the word in descending order 
            Next
            Console.WriteLine("Please press enter key to close the program, and thanks for your time.")
            Console.ReadKey()
        End Sub
    End Module

    Dejavu again?
    Is your teacher instructing you to use a User Defined
    error or do you just want to accept the user input, check it, give a message, and repeat?
    It seems to me you are missing the basic program loop? This example checks the user input and then performs an action, then repeats. If the user enters Quit execution stops. Is that what you want to do?
    Module Module1
    Sub Main()
    Console.Title = "Make a Decision"
    Dim theline As String = ""
    Do While theline <> "Quit"
    Console.WriteLine(vbLf & "Enter a or b." & vbLf)
    theline = Console.ReadLine()
    Select Case theline
    Case "a", "A"
    Console.WriteLine(vbLf & ">> Result: You entered A.")
    Console.WriteLine(vbLf & " ** Output Complete **" & vbLf)
    Case "b", "B"
    Console.WriteLine(vbLf & ">> Result: You entered B.")
    Console.WriteLine(vbLf & " ** Output Complete **" & vbLf)
    Case Else
    Console.WriteLine(vbLf & """" & theline & """ is invalid.")
    End Select
    Loop
    End Sub

  • How to send a user defined parameter to a web form?

    Hi,
    I4m looking for a solution how to send a user defined parameter to a web form when I start the form from a html-page.
    I think that it should work to add the parameter to the URL.
    Example: I added myparam=myvalue at the end oft the URL
    http://my.server.com:7777/f60cgi?form=myform.fmx&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&otherparams=useSDI=NO&lookAndFeel=generic&colorScheme=teal&myparam=myvalue
    How can I fetch the parameter myparam in forms?

    You have the user the otherParams parameter, which you can specify in the formsweb.cfg file, or override on the url. e.g. http://myhost/servlet/f690servlet?config=myApp&otherParams=myParam=myValue
    In the Forms Builder, in the Navigator window, there is a node called Parameters. Create one in there, and then you can refer to it like a block variable. e.g. if :myparam = 'myvalue' then...
    At runtime, Forms will match up any parameters on the command with parameters defined in your form, and populate them for you. You don't have to do anything.

  • How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I use LabVIEW 7)?

    How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I
    use LabVIEW 7)?

    Hi,
    Take a look at this example, it uses property nodes to select tha
    active plot and then changes the color of that plot.
    If you want to make the number of plots dynamic you could use a for
    loop and an array of color boxes.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to add multiple users to a role in ECC 6.0

    How to add multiple users (say 1000) to a role in ECC 6.0?

    Hi
    You can actually add multiple users to a role using transaction SU01. From SU01, use the menu Environment->Mass Changes.
    Here you can manually add the users, select them by address or authorisation data. Once you have your user list, you can then add or remove roles and/or profiles.
    Secondly , You can use SU10 to do mass changes to multiple users including role assignments per logical systems
    Also check the following link:

    I hope this should do it

  • How can I use User-Defined Aggregate Functions in Timesten 11? such as ODCI

    Hi
    we are using Timesten 11 version and as per the documentation, it doesn't support User-Defined Aggregate Functions.
    So we are looking for alternatives to do it. Could you please provide your expert voice on this.
    Thanks a lot.
    As the following:
    create or replace type strcat_type as object (
    cat_string varchar2(32767),
    static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(cs_ctx In Out strcat_type) return number,
    member function ODCIAggregateIterate(self In Out strcat_type,value in varchar2) return number,
    member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self In Out strcat_type,ctx2 In Out strcat_type) return number,
    member function ODCIAggregateTerminate(self In Out strcat_type,returnValue Out varchar2,flags in number) return
    number
    How can I use User-Defined Aggregate Functions in Timesten 11? such as ODCIAggregateInitialize ?

    Dear user6258915,
    You absolutely right, TimesTen doesnt support object types (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13085_01/doc/timesten.1121/e13076/plsqldiffs.htm) and User-Defined Aggregate Functions.
    Is it crucial for your application? Could you rewrite this functionality by using standart SQL or PL/SQL?

  • How to add a user to the wheel group?

    How to add a user to the wheel group in leopard?

    In Leopard, users can be added to system groups using 'dscl'. For example, while logged into an "admin" account, the command below can be entered using "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" to add a user "username" to the "wheel" group:<pre>
    sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -append /groups/wheel GroupMembership username</pre>
    If you prefer a GUI, "Workgroup Manager.app", included with the Leopard version of the "Server Admin Tools" can be used.

  • How to add a user to an existing group????

    Can't seem to find how to add a user to an existing group (staff). I am trying to share data (rw) between my admin account (root) and a development user. On any other UNIX system I would just add the user name in the /etc/group file & logout/login in. It don't work here!
    Suggestions??
    thanx
    mt

    OS X doesn't use /etc/groups. This file is present but does nothing AFAIK.
    Leopard uses directory services to handle groups and users.
    membership in groups with GID>500 can be handled from GUI in system preferences->accounts. other groups can be handled from terminal with dscl (directory services command line). do man dscl for details.
    to add a user to a group you'd do
    sudo dscl . append /groups/groupname GroupMembership username
    However, there should be no need to do it with "staff". every user with an account on your computer is a member of staff by default.
