How to tell if my mp3s have embedded artwork (artwork file bigger than it should be)?

Hi all
I loaded a bunch of albums onto my iPod Classic using Foobar's iPod Manager (foo_dop). The mp3s on my PC do NOT have artwork embedded. Rather, there is a cover.jpg file per album stored in the folder along with the mp3s.
Everything is displaying fine on the iPod, so there is no issue as such. I am just trying to save as much space on the iPod as possible and so want to make sure that foo_dop did not embed the artwork whilst doing the transfer.
Is there any way I can check for sure?
[If it helps to know, in the preferences for foo_dop, I have "Add artwork to files sent to iPod" ticked. In source script I have "cover". The two items below this are unticked.]
UPDATE:
Just to add, on my iPod I have the following sizes in the Artwork folder:
ArtworkDB - 482kB
F1055_1.ithmb - 24MB
F1060_1.ithmb - 150MB
F1061_1.ithmb - 4.51MB
Yet sll of the jpegs on my PC hard drive total 34.5MB.
So now I'm not too sure what's going on!
Cheers
Max

Bump for any ideas... Cheers

How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than it downloading

When I click on the 'save application file, it download's it and doesn't give me the option to save it.
I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

How can tell the script I want to save unsaved files but not replace the old one?

Hi everyone
I got this script
var docs = app.documents;
for (var i = docs.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (docs[i].saved == false) {
        docs[i].save(new File(“~/Desktop/Document.indd”));
        docs[i].close();
    else {
        docs[i].close(SaveOptions.YES);
close and save files
but if I have two or more files, I want to save files like Doc1, Doc2...
the new file will never replace the old one
Can some one tell me how can I do that?
Thanks
Regard
Teetan

Hi,
Change the 4th line like below:
        docs[i].save(new File("~/Desktop/Doc" + (i+1) + ".indd"));

How to tell what template is applied to a Framemaker file?

I'm new to Framemaker...so please excuse if this is a silly question.
We are trying to figure out how to tell what template has been applied to a Framemaker file. We are using the structured view in Framemaker 7.2.
Perhaps I am thinking too much like a Microsoft Word user -- in which case I can look at what template has been applied to a document.
Does Framemaker work the same way -- or are templates associated with Framemaker files in some other way?
Thank you --
J-Ha

J-Ha,
FrameMaker works differently. Strictly speaking, there is no way to tell which template was used last. A FrameMaker template is just a FrameMaker document which you call "template". Using File > Import > Formats you can import all or selected formats from one document to another. The main benefit: Each document is completely self-contained and does not require any other document.
Many solutions I know of include a user variable named something like "template-version" into their template document or put the version information on one of the reference pages. When importing user variables or reference pages, this can tell you version imported last.

I want to format my hard drive so i can have files bigger than 4GB what format should I use?

I have a new hard drive that I want to format so it will work with both mac and PC (windows) but I have files that are bigger than 4GB, what format should I use?
It needs to work with both PC and mac because I need to go between two computers etc

If both of these computers are connect to the same router, both are in your home or place of work (Both are in the same location), it is very easy to Network them so you don't have to use DropBox or the external drive to share files between them.

How do I make a thumbnail that has a gallery inside? And how can I make this gallery have embeded videos from vimeo + Images?

Hello,
I'm pretty new to Muse so I don't know a lot about it, but I researched a lot and didn't find an answer to this question.
I'm trying to make a portfolio website. The website will be a 12 thumbnails. But each thumbnail is one project, not an image.
When you click one of the thumbnails, I want it to be a lightbox that will show embeded videos from vimeo mixed with images.
Ex: A coca-cola projet.
Main page has a thumbnail of a coca cola image. When you click on it, it opens a lightbox with a coca-cola film, when i click to the right arrow, it shows a cocacola poster, then another poster, then another video. (but they are all part of this gallery, that is inside the thumbnail.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks!!!

I don't understand why my thumbnails don't work.
I dragged a composition lightbox inside another one. But I still have the first lightbox there and can't delete.
When I try my wabsite i see this:
But then I click the thumbnail and I see this:
And when I click one of those 3 I see this:
Like it is making a double lightbox.
but it doesn't show the images, it's like the first lightbox is on top of the second one.
How I deal with this? =/

I need to figure out how to tell Organizer that photos have moved from one hard drive to another

I have PSE 10 on my laptop and used Organizer to tag and view images on my laptop and on my PC via a wireless network. My PC died but I had all the photos backed up on an external hard drive. I want to tell Organizer to look for those photos (hundreds of them) on my external hard drive instead of trying to find them on the PC drive. Any idea how to do this?

If you have recovered your catalog folder, which was probably on your C: drive, you can try to reconnect:

However, you have probably lost your catalog, so your only solution is to import your files again in a new empty catalog. If you had 'written metadata to files', you'll recover tags and ratings, but not albums, stacks or version sets.

How to tell what OSX I have, while booted into BootCamp

Hello everybody. I'm currently booted into my Windows BootCamp partition, but have read access to the OSX partition. How can I tell what version of OSX I have while staying booted into my BootCamp Windows session. Is there a file I can look at on the OSX partition that has this info?
I know the easy answer is to boot into the Mac side and just look in About This Mac, but I can't reboot right now.

Open the file /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist in any text editor. If needed, copy it to the Windows partition and change the copy's extension to txt.

How to tell what version and platform created an InDesign File

Is there any way to tell if the InDesign file is created/or last saved on a Mac or PC and what version it is?
We receive files from many customers and some InDesign files appear to be passed back and forth between PC and Mac. Some fonts used are definitely PC and some are definitely Mac.
But we are not finding anything to give us the above info.
Thank you,
Linda Nivin

hold down the Command (apple) key as you click on About InDesign (with an open file) and you should see something like:
Scroll down through the Document History: and you will see a series of entries, starting with the creation.

How do I submit PDF Form data as an XML file rather than as an XFDF file?

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make this statement work?
var cSubLine = this.getField("SurnameInits").value;
var cBody1 = "Main Instruction data file attached";
var cDest = this.getField("DestEmail").value;
var cEmailURL = "mailto:" + cDest + "?subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody1;
this.submitForm({cURL: cEmailURL, cSubmitAs: "XML"});
No file is attached the email that is generated so I assume there is something wrong with the submitForm parameters...If I change XML to XFDF, it works fine.

Try this...
this.submitForm({cURL: cEmailURL, cSubmitAs:"XML", cCharSet:"utf-8"});

Why is non-embedded artwork taking up 500% more space on iPod Classic

Hi all
Following on from this thread:
How to tell if my mp3s have embedded artwork (artwork file bigger than it should be)?
If anyone has a moment (anyone who does not embed artwork that is), would you mind comparing your PC Hard Drive and iPod in terms of how much space they use for the same amount of artwork?
I am using Foobar iPod Manager to transfer. I have one cover.jpg file per album, and even though I have the exact same artwork on my PC Hard Drive and iPod, the iPod uses 145MB more storage space (about 500% I think!). I've no idea if this is just how the iPod stores artwork, or if there is another reason. I'd be curious to see how yours looks and/or to hear why this happens.
Cheers
Max

Well, an update has come from another forum and I thought I would post it here in case others stumble here in the future searching for an answer to the same question.
Apparently, the non-embedded artwork on the iPod is in an uncompressed format instead of JPG and therefore takes up more space. Seems a bit odd, seeing as I am loading jpegs onto the iPod. I can only presume the iPod decompresses them at some stage.
