Searching for missing files, using PSE6

After I have transfered a batch of photos using the -file -get photos -From files and folders, the thumbnails appear in " Organizer" but when I want to look at the photos in full screen they come up unclear and a dialogue box comes up ," searching for missing files" I then click on "browse" and the folder from which i have transfersd the photos, in "My Pictures" is not shown in the list. I have done this with an other folder of photos and it is also not shown in the list, as if they have dissapeared. The folders are still in " My Pictures"
I am totally frustrated with trying to get past first base with this program I have spent many hours trying to find a solution

It sounds like you may be encountered one of the drive-handling bugs in PSE. To diagnose that, download and run the free utility "psedbtool":

How to make a category required for all files created within a folder

I've defined a category. It has attributes which have been flagged as required.
When I view the properies of a particular workspace (library), the category is shown as available to the workspace. However, the category is not shown as required. And the "required" checkbox is not clickable.
So .. how, from the OCS DHTML applet, do I make a particular category a required category for all files in a folder?

Perhaps the Category Attribute is not marked as "configurable" when it was created. You can check this by "switching into Admin Mode" and drilling down the Categories using "Manage Categories" link. Check if the category attribute is marked as configurable or not.

How to make a good UI for channel selection using DAQmx

A lot of my Labview programming was with earlier verisons of labview (pre Labview 7), and there are a ton of new features that I'm trying to digest (currently using Labview 8.2).
My question is (in general terms), how are people programming their UI for selecting channels and such when using DAQmx hardware? What I have in mind is a compacDAQ system with a number of modules. The user would be able to pick and choose which channels to monitor. Using MAX as part of that process seems counter intuative, and somewhat static (yeah I know you can change it there, but it feels more like something you would use for something that really doesn't change much). I'd like all the UI to be within the VI.
Are programmers using the create task VIs for that or something else?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wholeheartedly second the motion to keep MAX out of the picture as far as users are concerned.
Setting up UI's for channel selection is a breeze in DAQmx when you create channels on the block diagram. The control you create off the Channels input will populate itself with the inputs that it knows are capable of performing the desired task...
<<< My configuration knows that my Module 5 is capable of doing Analog Input.
So... Just create a panel that waits for the user to select the proper channel. I also run a quick check of the user's selection before creating / starting the task. For example, if they choose ai30 or higher, and I know that the system isn't wired for those inputs, I'll not allow that selection. Also check for using two of the same input, etc.

Regards,
Vissu.....UTL_FILE just reads data from the file. It has no concept of what could be a "header" or "body" or "records" or "footer" or any other data based concept. If you want to skip lines of a file, you will just need to read them using UTL_FILE and ignore them.

How to make the stage transparent for SWF file being used in Dreamweaver

I have a SWF file in my Dreamweaver site, that plays correctly. The problem is that the stage is white and we would like it to be transparent. Searching the archives the following advice was given:
in your html embedding code you need to set the wmode parameter to be "transparent"
I'm wondering if this is the code in Dreamweaver or is this done in Flash. I'm working with CS5. Below is the code that matches the SWF file in Dreamweaver. I did change the wmode value from "opaque" to "transparent" and it didn't work.
Thanks for any assistance.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="650" height="400" id="FlashID" title="Convergence Gathering Title">
             <param name="movie" value="Flash/gold_dust_title.swf" />
             <param name="quality" value="high" />
             <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
             <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
             
             <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
             
             
             <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Flash/gold_dust_title.swf" width="650" height="400">
               
               <param name="quality" value="high" />
               <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
               <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
               <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
               
               <div>
                 <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
                 <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>

             </object>
             
           </object>

Yes, change this to "transparent" in ALL the places where wmode is shown
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
Second, be sure that there is in fact nothing covering the entire stage, like a big white rectangle.
Also, what is directly behind the .swf once it's on the Web page? If the background color of that page or the <div> that the .swf is in is white..... well then then .swf can have a transparent background but then the white from the Web page just shows thru.... so there's still a white background.
Be sure there is a non-white background on the Web page...
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.

How to make single port fowarding for camera by using airport extreme ???

Is any body can help by using apple airport extreme model no A1143
where should I put the IP local for the camera ?which application
thanks

charlie368, Welcome to the discussion area!
Using AirPort Utility you can configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to forward the port(s) to the camera. However the camera will need to be assigned a local IP address. The default local IP addresses are in the 10.0.1.x range.
To get to the camera from the internet, you would use the IP address provided by your ISP. This is the one used by the WAN side of the AEBS.

Wild card search in a FM

Hi experts,
I have a FM in which there is one table customer_name
It has fields as SIGN (type SIGN), OPTION (type OPTION), LOW (type name1_gp), HIGH (type name1_gp).
Now the user can give single value, or a range of values for the customer name.
I am familiar with the wild card search for a select option, but not sure how to apply that funda here.
For ex: If a customer enters the customer name as MG*, then all the names starting with MG should appear
in the output.
Similarly, if the user enters AP* in LOW and MG* in high, the corresponding output should be displayed.
Can you please help me out?
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi,
Do like this
t_table-sign = 'I'.
t_table-option = 'CP'.
t_table-low = 'AB*'.
t_table-high = 'MG*'.
append t_table.
Use this in your select query.

Case Sensitive problem in Select Option for wild card search

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how to make the wild card search in any select-option non case-sensitive. What I mean by this is for eg. we want to find out all the POs with short text containing the word 'process', what we do we populate a range with OPTION = 'CP' and LOW = 'process' and select EKPO with short text in this range. This select is however case-sensitive and POs with short text containing 'Process' is not retrieved. But my requirement is that this should be non case-sensitive and both the POs should be in the result set.

Hi,
Hope this helps you
CS:
You can select characters in operand2 for a direct comparison by adding the escape symbol "#" before the required characters. For these characters, upper/lower case is taken into account, wildcard characters and the escape symbol itself do not receive special treatment, and trailing blanks in operands of type c are not cut off.
Covers Pattern: True, if the content of operand1 fits the pattern in operand2. Wildcard characters can be used for forming the operand pattern, where "" represents any character string, and "+" represents any character. Upper/lower case is not taken into account. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1, whereby leading wildcard characters "" in operand2 are ignored if operand2 also contains other characters. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1.

Wild card search using %

I have a question on wild card searches. I am currently doing a like behind the scenes to look for a string inside a string...
However, if the user wants to put in a wild card like 'AP%Report%'... I would like to return all the ones that begin with AP and have Report in them- is that possible using APEX? I currently do not get any records as the % is considered literally. As our users are used to Oracle, we will have users who will key in a % during the search and we need this to work!
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks!
Ramya

Thanks for your quick response, Tony!
Its a standard report not interactive... version is 'Application Express 4.0.2.00.07'

instr(upper("REPORT_NAME"),upper(nvl(:P11_REPORT_SEARCH,"REPORT_NAME"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("REPORT_DESC"),upper(nvl(:P11_REPORT_SEARCH,"REPORT_DESC"))) > 0
or
instr(upper("CATEGORY"),upper(nvl(:P11_REPORT_SEARCH,"CATEGORY"))) > 0
Hope I answered all your questions.. On why I am doing this instead of a LIKE.. I could not get it working with a LIKE and had to pull this code from one of the sample applications... Hope that makes sense!
