How to... Stacking and Rating

Hi,
Any ideas how to speed up stacking in elements 7 ?, it seems very slow even if its just stacking 2 photos
This also applies to Rating, rate one picture and go make a coffee
Otherwise perfomance seems ok
My catalogue has (just) 5000 photos, size is 50mb, the thumb cache is 355mb
Is there a way to clean and speed these things up ? Or is that perfomance "normal"
Any why is there no shortcut key to stack or set top photo - has that been fixed in 8 as that'd be worth upgrading for
Thanks
Jim

thanks bilbo, i didnt think it was memory (2GB) as (eg) editing is working fine. But, tonight after an editing session (50 raws) I then selected stack and it took about 15 seconds. Arggg. I closed adobe & restarted, all stacks then took 1-2 seconds. I guess ACR & the editor are memory hogs (hardly surprising) but as i disnt have any images in them i though it would release some (not). Solution
regards
Jim

How are stacks and version sets handled in Mobile Albums

I am thinking of purchasing PSE 12. However, I have a question about the way stacks and version sets are handled in Mobile Albums within Revel.
When photos are in stacks or version sets in PSE 12 and I sync those photos to Mobile Albums in Revel, do the photos also appear as stacks and version sets in Revel? Or, do the photos which were in stacks and version sets in PSE 12 appear individually (i.e. un-stacked and not in version sets) in Revel?

I had the same issue. It took me a lot of time playing with the interface before I finally figured out the problem. Even though, when you double click a photo (single view) from within the default grid view, you "do" get the option to expand a stack or version set (not greyed out). However, it does not work. My frustration with that is that since it was not greyed out you would naturally expect it to be functional and it is not. In grid view the option is greyed out however that caused confusion as well since this option works in Elements 12 default view. So, one assumes it is a defect. Right? So the solution is to switch the grid view to detail view (view -> detail). Once you do that then the expand function works as expected. This should have been explained as I believe it is a change in functionality (user work flow) from earlier versions. I did try to find wording about this in the help file but no luck.

How many stacks and where?

We're in our second year using SAP and we're just starting to look at using the capabilities of NetWeaver and Java. We were told something by our consultant that seems counter-intuitive. She said that we only need to run a Java stack on our Solution Manager server, and we could use it to run Adobe Forms and program with NetWeaver Developer Studio on our Production, QAS and Dev servers. One would think you'd need a stack on each seperate server. Am I just clueless about this?

Hi Leo,
If you have 3 different systems DEV, QAS and PRD, and you want to use the java functionality in them, then you will need to add the java stack for each one.
The java programming (which you carry out with the Developer Studio, installed in your computer) can be tested in any java stack, but the recommendation is to test it firstly in the DEV java stack and then QAS, before trying to move the programming to your PRD system. In that sense, this is a copy of the abap world, where the structure of 3 separated systems are maintained in order to test the changes before passing to production.
If you want to develop in a more serius way, then you should try the Netweaver Development Infrastructure, which is described at:

How is the interface between the Java Stack and ABAP stack is achieved?

How is the interface between the Java Stack and ABAP stack is achieved?..Please send me the answer to [email protected]

Hi,
By interface, I assume you mean the connection between the ABAP and the Java stacks in a double stack system.
The connection from Java to ABAP is through JCo connections defined in the WebDynpro section of the J2EE start page. So Java to ABAP requests are processed through JCo.
The connection from ABAP to Java is through RFC connections defined in TA SM59. The ABAP to Java requests are processed through RFC.
Refer https://dsd.esco-salt.com/StartPage/documents/integration/3.html for detailed explanation.
The UME can be maintained in either ABAP or in JAVA depending on the persistence.
Refer: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/5b/5d2706ebc04e4d98036f2e1dcfd47d/frameset.htm
Check UME data source configuration.

How to Drag and Drop in between Stacks?

I have a folder with various stacks and single images that I would like to sort manually. It seems impossible to drag and drop an image in between two stacks. It always ends up stacked with one or the other. I am being very careful to be sure that neither stack shows a border around it or is lighter than the other. But it makes no difference. Even if I expand both stacks, I can't drop an image in between. I have to completely UNSTACK the images, drag and then RE-STACK. Am I missing something??(running LR 2.4 on OSX 10.5.8)

Yeah, it's a bit tricky, messing with stacks and drag-and-drop.
Try going the other way round: drag and drop your stack (by selecting all images of the stack) instead of your single image, sometimes it helps (depending on the situation). The Remove from Stack command also helps to extract a single image from a stack without breaking and re-stacking.

How to pop the stack and keep track of charFlag, in C?

/* Below is am popping the stack, which works, but it does not keep track of the charFlag variable that is pushed onto the stack. Can you help me with modifying this *char pop (stackNodePtr ptr) so when it pops the value from the stack, and keeps track of the charFlag?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance!!!
Note: This posts is an offspring of my previous question: _"Why is the stack, written in C, converting + to ascii 42 ?"_. I want to thank Xnav for the excellent suggestion of including a character flag to keep track of the datatype being pushed onto the stack. Thank you etresoft for variable renaming comment.
typedef struct stackNode {
int value;
int charFlag;
struct stackNode *next;
}stackNode;
typedef stackNode * StackNodePtr;
char pop( StackNodePtr *ptr )
if( StackIsEmpty(*ptr))
printf("
Pop attempted, but the Stack is empty, or underflow");
exit(2);//needed stdlib.h to work
else
char sTop;
StackNodePtr old;
if( (old = (StackNodePtr ) malloc( sizeof (StackNodePtr) )) == NULL )
printf("
No memory left for pop operation");
sTop = (*ptr)->value;
old = *ptr;
*ptr = (*ptr)->next;
free(old);
return (sTop);

//I added a global variable int gCharFlag to keep track of the popped charFlag. Will the code below work, or should I just return (*ptr)? Thank you once again!
//struct, typedef and gCharFlag are stored inside of a .h file
typedef struct stackNode {
int value;
int charFlag;
struct stackNode *next;
}stackNode;
typedef stackNode * StackNodePtr;
int gCharFlag;//global variable, which is stored inside of a .h file
//below method is stored inside of a .c file
char pop( StackNodePtr *ptr )
if( StackIsEmpty(*ptr))
printf("
Pop attempted, but the Stack is empty, or underflow");
exit(2);//needed stdlib.h to work
else
char sTop;
StackNodePtr old;
if( (old = (StackNodePtr ) malloc( sizeof (StackNodePtr) )) == NULL )
printf("
No memory left for pop operation");
sTop = (*ptr)->value;
gCharFlag = (*ptr)->charFlag;
old = *ptr;
*ptr = (*ptr)->next;
free(old);
return (sTop);//to return the struct node, then it would be return (*ptr), correct?

How do you transfer songs, playlists, and rating to itunes from your ipod?

I just bought a new computer and have transfered all my music to it. I have been unable to transfer my ratings and playlists to the recently installed itunes on the new computer. Any suggestions? TIA, Dave.

How to synchronise metadata between Lightroom catalogue and exif metadata (e.g. Orientation and rating)?

Hi there,
i have some third-party tools that also read my original photos that I use in my workflow. That is especially my private synology cloud, from which I can watch my images in the browser and in mobile devices like my iPhone/iPad.
i Ido not want to export a second copy of the pictures from Lightroom to be used by the other tools and still want to be able to synchronise the two most important values between these tools and Lightroom: orientation and rating.
is there any way to store orientation and rating from lightroom in the original photo's exif data? vice versa is there a way to synchronise these values back from the exif metadata to Lightroom? Especially orientation is an issue, because I have older cameras that do not set the orientation tag and I have to orient them in Lightroom.
rationale: I'd like to use web or mobile devices to rate pictures with my friends and family and do not to have everybody gather around my Lightroom PC.
I don't want to be trapped in the adobe product family. Buying Lightroom-mobile is not an option as I don't accept public clouds and the pricing of it.
Any hints?
cheers,
Meike

Use the Metadata > Save Metadata To File command to write orientation and rating from the LR catalog back to the photo's metadata. Or set the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.
If an external tool changes a photo's metadata, LR will display an indicator in the upper-right corner of its thumbnail in Library grid mode:
You can tell LR to reread all the metadata from the file by doing Metadata > Read Metadata From File (this will replace all the metadata in the LR catalog, so beware).
You can find all photos that have changed metadata in the file by using the Metadata Status column in Metadata browser of the Library Filter bar.

Sync play count, last played, and rating with iOS 5

From other threads (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16563011#16563011 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/16505730#16505730 for example) it is clear that there are some problems with play count, last played, and rating information updating and syncing under iOS 5. I have at least a partial solution. I am posting it here instead of under one of the existing threads because 1) some discussions seem to be confusing the difference between updating the iOS 5 device data and syncing the updated data to the computer, and 2) some of the discussions are focused iPhone, and though the problem appears similar I only have an iPod touch to test the solution on.
First of all, this is not a new problem. Prior to iOS 5, I would plug my iPod Touch into the computer and not see any play count or last played data for songs I knew I had just listened to. I discovered that if I clicked (in my computer's iTunes display of the iPod) on one song that I had recently listened to, it would suddenly display play count and last played for all the songs played since the last update. I could then transfer this playlist data (more on this in a minute) to the corresponding songs on the computer. Under iOS 5, this no longer works, and in fact causes the new play count and last played data on the iPod to be lost. However, under iOS 5 there is a way to get this information to update, even though you don't see it when you first connect to the computer.
To make this work, you have your iPod set on Manually manage music and videos under the Summary tab of the iPod settings in iTunes. I have messed around with this for hours, including several restores and resets of my iPod touch, and have found no way to get this to work under various Sync Music options. I have been using the Manually manage mode for years because I use my iPod with numerous different iTunes Libraries on several different external hard drives.
Here's the trick: Manually manage must be in effect before you connect the iPod to the computer. After your iPod shows up in the iTunes interface on your computer, in the main view (where it shows the different tabs at the top and capacity at the bottom) there is a Sync button at the very bottom right. Click on this and wait for it to go through the Sync steps (don't worry, you're not losing anything), and, voila, when you go to the songs (on the iPod) you have listened to since the last time you connected to the computer, the play count and last played data will be there.
Unfortunately, it's not a simple matter to get this data synced to the computer, but it can be done. At first I thought that once I got the data to show up on the iPod I could go to the Music tab and Sync Music to get the playlist data to the computer, but this does not work. It will sync the play count and last played data that are on the computer to the iPod, overriding the newer data. The way I have been getting my playlist data from my iPod to my computer without ever changing the Manually manage setting is by using the Copy Tag Info Tracks To Tracks script from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes <http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=copytinforackstotracks>. This isn't hard to download or install or use and copies playlist information very quickly.
I have never had a problem with play count or last played on my 2nd generation nano, which still works beautifully. As far as I can tell, play count and last played have never worked well on the iPod touch; there are threads in discussions complaining about this from years ago. It would be nice if Apple would recognize that these are extremely important features to many users and make it a priority to make these basics work before (or while) adding a lot of other fancy features.

Just for posterity in case anyone else ever has a similar problem.
I found out I can work around my problem, but I have limitations. The only time it'll update the correct songs is after I restore it and then add the initial songs on to the Shuffle. The key is to not ever have a situation where I reshuffle the order of those songs. If I ever shuffle to better alphebatize or categorize things, the sync updating screws everything up. If say Song #3 on my Shuffle's playlist after the intitial transfer gets moved around to being anything other than the third song played, my Shuffle/iTunes will still think that song has been played although the Song #3 I actually listened to after the sync update will be different. Now I have to carefully compose and place what songs I want loaded on since I can't mess around with the playlist setup at all.
I know Apple support would likely blame my Shuffle for the problem (it's over 6 years old now). But it's funny how this only happened right after I installed 11.0. The update to 11.0.2 did nothing.

Sort images within stack by rating?

Hi Gang,
I'm editing a massive job and there's one part of the process that is taking forever. After I've rated every image within a stack, I seem to have to resort them manually to be shown from highest rating to lowest rating, either by dragging or by using the "promote/demote" buttons.
Is there any way to make images in a stack sort themselves by rating? This would literally save me hours of time.

I know of no way to automatically stack by rating. You could create Smart Albums with only certain ratings included. I know that's not exactly what you wanted to do, but it would accomplish a segregation of your photos by rating.
Sorry not to be able to provide an answer, but I don't think there is one.

How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes

I'm working on example from this tutorial( Drag-and-Drop Feature in JavaFX Applications | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far I managed to create this code but I need some help in order to finish the code.
Source
tabPane = new TabPane();
Tab tabA = new Tab();
   Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
            @Override
            public void handle(MouseEvent event)
                /* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
                System.out.println("onDragDetected");
                /* allow any transfer mode */
                Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
                /* put a string on dragboard */
                ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
                content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
                db.setContent(content);
                event.consume();
What is the proper way to insert the content of the tab as object? Into the tutorial simple text is transferred. How I must modify this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);?
And what is the proper way to insert the tab after I drag the tab:
Destination
tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
            @Override
            public void handle(DragEvent event)
                /* data dropped */
                /* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
                Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
                boolean success = false;
                if (db.hasString())
                    //tabPane.setText(db.getString());
                    Tab tabC = new Tab();
                    tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
                    success = true;
                /* let the source know whether the string was successfully
                 * transferred and used */
                event.setDropCompleted(success);
                event.consume();
I suppose that this transfer can be accomplished?
Ref javafx 2 - How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes - Stack Overflow

I would use a graphic (instead of text) for the Tabs and call setOnDragDetected on that graphic. That way you know which tab is being dragged. There's no nice way to put the Tab itself into the dragboard as it's not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you probably just want to store the tab currently being dragged in a property.
Here's a quick example; it just adds the tab to the end of the current tabs in the dropped pane. If you wanted to insert it into the nearest location to the actual drop you could probably iterate through the tabs and figure the coordinates of each tab's graphic, or something.

ABAP STACK and JAVA STACK certificates

Hi Fiends,
I have requirement in which I want to use HTTP adapter to send message and apply security certificate. I got from sdn that if I wan to use http adapter with certificate than I have to install certificates in ABAP stack.
My problem is I had one scenario in which I am using BC adapter to send message with security certificate and for that I had applied certificates in java stack and its working properly.
My question is,
Is it possible to use Java Stack and ABAP STACK together..?
I mean is it possible to implement both of the above scenario in same xi system?

Hi Soni,
You cannot use the same certifcates wihch you installed in Java stack with abap stack. You need to install separealy on teh abap stack.
For HTTP communication you dont need to install certificates. You only need when you want to use HTTPS communication. So if you want to use HTTPS communication and want to use SOAP adapter then you can use ther certifcates which is already installed on java stack. But if you want to use HTTP adapter then you need to install in ABAP stack.
Please see this hlep on how to install on the java stack and the process behind it:

Java Stack and ABAP Stack

Hi Experts,
i am now confused about these two stacks: Java Stack and ABAP Stack.
for IR objects, like DT, MT, SI, MM, SM, Action, Process Integration Scenario
for ID objects, like profile agreements, receiver determination, interface determination,
1. where are these objects stored in? Java or ABAP stack?
and i know Adapter Engine is run on JAVA Stack while Integration Engine is on ABAP Stack.
2. how do they call the objects stored in different stack during processing?

Hi,
1. where are these objects stored in? Java or ABAP stack?
These objects are basically developed on the JAVA stack, when they are activated their runtime version is created on ABAP stack, which you can check in SXI_CACHE transaction.
2. how do they call the objects stored in different stack during processing?
Runtime versions of these objects are responsible for the execution of the interfaces.

Doubt about JAVA stack and ABAP Stack

Good day!
Hope can help me with my next doubt. I understood that BI JAVA or JAVA has been embedded in the Java support package stack for portal. But for BI7 the installation for JAVA is by sps. We only use pure support package for BI7, we don't use support package stacks and we don't use JAVA. I'm not sure because i don't made the sap installation in our enterprise, how can i be sure if we have installed java in BI7 and if we don´t have installed, should I install Java in our sap system? what are the benefits and consequences if I decide install it? and what is the difference about BI java (portals) and JAVA stack for BI7?
I try to find some information but I found some information about bi Java for portals, but not for BI.
Ramón Sánchez

Hai,
BI-7.0,JAVA:BI-Java is used to provide the Java runtime for scenarios such as Enterprise Reporting, Query, and Analysis as well as Business Planning and Analytical Services.BI-Java requires AS Java and Enterprise Portal Core and EP in the same system. Optionally, you can combin with other usage types in one system. Usually, scenarios running on usage type BI-Java also require usage types BI and AS ABAP. While installing BI-Java, AS Java, EPC and EP get installed automatically. Usually, when running on usage type BI-Java also require usage types BI and AS ABAP, you should be aware that no matter if you run BI and BI-Java in the same or in separate systems, both BI and BI -JAVA should be kept in sync in terms of Support Package Stacks.
BW 7.0 is now called as BI 7.0. There are many differences between them in areas like extraction, EDW, reporting, analysis administration,etc.,
http://www.ittestpapers.com/articles/987/2/SAP-BI-70-Features/Page2.html
Advantage of having Double stack Instance: Where AS ABAP provides the complete technology and infrastructure to run ABAP applications and AS JAVA provides Java Enterprise Edition environment for developing and running Java programs.

Java stack and ABAP stack in upgrading SP

Hi,
pls pardon if it appears silly question. I dont have much knowledge in Basis
I am on XI3.0 with SP 09 and upgrading SP to SP20 from SAP service market place.
How can I identify which is java stack and which is ABAP stack in evrery SP because Java stack can be directly upgraded to SP20 but ABAP stack has to be upgraded one by one (like sp 01..10..11..finally sp20).
Could you pls let me know, from the list of files how can I identify which is ABAP stack and which is java stack ? so that I can first update the ABAP Stack one by one and then move to javastack
thanks,
Dushanth
