IDCS3 sharing project among multiple designers

What is the best way, or at least things to look out for, when setting up a project which will be worked on by multiple designers on multiple machines? Thus far we have just been packaging up the project and sending it back and forth,but this has proven pretty messy. Any suggestions?

Jason,
The new layout-zones add on is incredible. But before you get into that, you should master some of the basics.
The most important part of working in a multi-design workflow is to create a template. This is your document with master pages, styles, etc.
Then, divide the magazine into sections. Front matter would be one section. Each article could be its own section. Classified or other repeating content would be their own sections.
Use the new layout-zone add-on to spin out areas for ads within each section.
Finally, have one person be the control to assemble the finished sections together. This will most likely mean a single magazine as the book feature won't work well in a magazine environment. (Hard to divide articles that continue on back pages into the proper sections of a book.)

  • Sharing IPhoto among multiple users on ONE computer. Question about article

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304890
    Does anyone have an idea why the article doesn't mention using users/shared instead of creating a separate partition. It seems much easier, though from some of the other posts it looks like Permissions on users/shared may not work properly.
    This seems awfully complicated for the machine that advertises itself as easy to use. It was much easier to share files on Windows.

    I have followed the famous Apple article and have created a disk image with permissions ignored and the iphoto library in it. But in order to have the other user access the disk image, I have put it in the users/shared folder. As a result, when trying to access the library from the other user account, it says that I do not have enough rights to access the library. Any thoughts ?
    Thank you.

  • Sharing photos among multiple users on same MacBook

    My wife and I both have user accounts on our MacBook Pro. She has all of our pictures on her iPhoto. How can I access those photos? Thanks in advance.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • One shared object among multiple applications

    How would I enable a shared object to be used by more than one game? I have tried doing SharedObject.getLocal("ID","/"), but they still seem to have seperate shared objects, both of these applications have seperate domains (com.domain.app).

    try it.  but i suspect those will look like different domains.
    you could use:
    com.mydomain.games/game117 for your game117's main swf
    and
    com.mydomain.games/game2245 for your game2245's main swf

  • IPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

    I'm thinking to buy the first Mac of my life...
    Sorry for writing here but I'm an engineer and I don't like to much answer from commercial people...
    Studying how to set up the new iMac, one possible problem is that my wife and me are working on Win 7 on the same photo library with two different account (while our little daughter cannot access it).
    I've found this article in the apple support:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198?viewlocale=en_US
    But I’m not fully persuaded of the two possible solution.
    - usb external drive with “ignore permission on that volume” (I suppose that also an internal partition can be good)
    - image disk on shared folder
    If I choose the partition with ignore permission I’m worried that my daughter can delete everything and I’m not sure that it is possible to backup everything with time machines…
    If I choose the image disk “sparse” I’m worried about the performance (20gb of photo increasing…) and I’m not sure if I can exclude the image file from time machines and I can backup the mounted disk instead….
    Is there any other solution, considering that could be even enough a read only access for my wife account (just to see the photo library and synchronize with her iPhone)
    Many thanks
    Riccardo

    Thanks for your answer,
    You don't have to use an external disk or partition. You can simply put the Library in the Users/Shared folder and work from there.
    Are you sure? The apple article HT1198 says: If two or more users attempt to use the same iPhoto library and the library is not on a volume where permissions are ignored, unexpected results may occur. This includes the inability to see or edit certain photos, or the inability to open the iPhoto library. Follow the steps below to avoid sharing iPhoto libraries in this manner.
    If you're concerned about your daughter accessing the Library and trashing it: here's a way:
    Create an extra Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both all users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add or delete photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose. Obviously, don't give the kids the password for the Media account.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
    No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?
    This could be perfect!!! I will see all feature of iPhoto on the shared library (events, places, faces, albums)? And is it also possible from my account to see the albums in iTunes to synchronize it with my iPhone?
    Many thanks again for your help

  • Sharing object among multiple jvms

    I have an application running on 3 seperate machines. I want all 3 machines to share common object, how, if we exclude databse?

    meetsiby wrote:
    To avoid overload on jdbcRealizing of course that sharing means that some sort of communication and storage must take place regardless right?
    So if you don't "overload" jdbc then you are still going to be using something else which involves the same general concepts of jdbc.
    At any rate you could look at RMI(part of java) or memcached (open source distributed hash).

  • Cloud Computing / Sharing files among multiple Macs

    Greetings,
    I'll start by saying that I briefly searched for my answer on the board with no luck. So sorry if it's out there but I couldn't find it.
    To get to the point, I have two main macs (desktop & laptop) that I use interchangeably. I would like to be able to access the same files with both computers and more importantly, stay in sync with those files. Example, I work on my FileMaker Pro database on my Mac Pro, then when it's time to leave for the office, I have to copy the file over to my MacBook (if I remember to do that). Which means that I always have two files out there at the same time. This has been ok to deal for one file but I'm finding more and more apps that I'd like to share the files with (Things, Quicken, Filemaker, iBank, OmniFocus...etc).
    I do have a MobileMe account (prev .mac) but not sure if I can do it with that or iDisk. I would love it to work as seamlessly as my Mail, Address Book, and iCal syncs with MobileMe. What Mac or 3rd party options do I have for this feature/service? And can someone explain how it would work? Meaning, when I launch an app like iBank, would my app be working on the file in the "cloud"? or would the service/app push the file down to my computer for me to work on it locally and then push it back up when I close the app?
    Hope my question was clear but here it is again;
    What service or application will allow me to share files between my Macs?
    Thanks!

    Jorge:
    You can't do that with the alias system. That'st because each user will have a totally independent library from the other users. Any edits made will be saved in that particularly users iPhoto Library folder and not be available to others.
    Tutorial #4, however, does discuss how to setup such a system.
    There is a couple of caveats to this system. Each new set of photos should be added to the source group in it's own folder, preferable dated, so that each user can check to see what's are the new files and import them into their own library. Also any user who deletes a photos from their library does not delete it from the source group. That has to be done manually. That can be good or bad depending your your point of view. That is, one user cann't delete a source file that another users wants and needs for a slideshow, etc.

  • Sharing image among multiple reports

    Hi,
    Currently, we have the company logo, which is a jpg file, hard coded inserted into each of our report headings. The logo is changing.  Is there a way to have all the reports access the 1 logo file from a particular file location?  I know this can be done with BO Repositories, however we are not using BO.  The Crystal reports are being called by a 3rd party application and displayed within that application.
    Thanks
    Fishchi

    Yes Fishchi, You can do that with the help of Picture box in CR,
    Do this steps,
    1, Insert one picture,
    Insert Menu>Picture>select any picture>Open>fix i in Page header.
    2,Set Picture location,
    Right clickon picture->Format Graphics>Picture Tab>Thare you can see "Graphic Location"
    -->Click on Formula editor button (X-2)
    -->in the formua editor,writeyour file path, "D:\Picture.jpg".
    -->Save and Close
    On the run mode you will get picture wich you have on that particular location.
    If you use any formula field for setting location, you can access that through programmatically, Or else you can use DataSet Field as location.

  • Sharing IPhoto library among multiple users

    I'd like to make sure that each of the user accounts on my Mac can easily access the same complete IPhoto library -- to add, edit and remove photos, and to be able to use the photos in the IWeb, GarageBand and other projects associated with those accounts. What the best way to get this to happen (and while I'm at it, I guess I'd like to do the same things with ITunes.)

    webalias rex:
    There are several ways that can be done. The one that has the best success rate is to put the library on an external FW HD which the ownership set to be ignored. Here's Apple's document on that method: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users.
    Here are some other methods that have been discussed.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Sharing in-memory database among multiple processes

    From the bdb document, due to disk-less operation, it is not possible to share in-memory among multiple processes.
    I am wondering, if it is possible to use DB_ENV but without DB->sync or any other sync() function call, such that the database, cache, etc in the shared region not flushed to the disk, to achieve disk-less operation. Please share your thought.

  • Sharing JVM applet cache among multiple users (crosspost)

    Does anyone have experience sharing a single JVM applet cache among multiple users?
    (This is a crosspost of http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5157018. I know crossposting is frowned on, but it went a week without replies in the plug-in forum.)
    Our browser plugin clients run in a Citrix environment where Windows Terminal Services servers host the client sessions for multiple users and the users only have a thin client hardware device at their desks. We've discovered that as a consequence of optimizing certain aspects of the Citrix environment a user's JVM cache is remote to the server hosting his/her browser session, and that the remote caching is a performance bottleneck.
    Turning applet caching off improves performance considerably, but we'd like to get the cache directed locally to the server hosting the browser session and turn caching back on. But since hundreds of users times tens of servers in the "Citrix farm" adds up to a lot of cache disk space, we're wondering about users sharing a JVM cache. This already happens when one runs multiple browser/plugin sessions locally on a regular workstation. But what about fifty users' separate plugins sharing a single applet cache? It appears from file timestamps that jars'/classes' idx files in a cache are updated when a file is loaded from the cache. What if multiple browser plugins were trying to do this concurrently? Is there a risk of locking, or a data integrity exposure? Or are those idx updates insignificant since they don't affect the last modified date or the sticky cache version number? (Most apps use a 1_5_0_2 JRE, but some apps require a 1.4 plugin.)
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Sharing a single session among multiple portlets for single application (e.g. wInsight)

    Does anyone know the best practices way for sharing a single Session for an application (running on a single Porlet server) among multiple portlets on a page?
    For example, the application wInsight uses 3 frames (navigation, search results - tabular, search results - chart) which need to communicate via the application's session scope. It is not just that we do not want for a single user to be running multiple sessions, but they really do share variable parameters this way.
    So far I can only think of trying to build a one true portlet and two empty containers on page load. I would use the portlet to establish the session with the Portlet server and then transfer the session information to the other two empty containers to instantiate their respective portlets. I haven't tried this yet, but will do so soon...
    Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Karen,
    You can easiliy create several portlets out of a Struts application. For detailed instructions, refer to the Struts section of the Portal Developer's Guide.
    Good luck,

  • Syncing the same iTunes library among multiple computers

    I have two computers, a Windows 7 laptop and a new iMac. iTunes on both computers are signed into the same Apple ID. I currently have my iTunes library on my laptop, but I would like to also have the exact same library on my iMac. For instance, if I download a new podcast to my laptop, it should be placed on my iMac as well. When I delete the podcast, it should be deleted on the iMac too. When song metadata is updated on my laptop (play count, lyrics, etc), I want it updated on the iMac automatically.
    I have not had much experience with Home Sharing, but would that do all of this automatically? I know I could manually transfer songs from one computer to the other using Home Sharing, but what about updated metadata or deleting files?
    iCloud has made this situation more interesting. I know iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match will keep music files in sync among various devices (including metadata?), but what about podcasts or movies or files not purchased via iTunes? I know there are plenty of details that are yet to be released concerning iCloud, but do you think it will solve this problem entirely, or will manual labor be required to obtain the exact same library among multiple computers?
    I have considered only using my iMac to maintain my library, since it is always on and I could use Home Sharing to listen to music on my laptop since they are on the same Wifi network. However, I feel it would be best to keep the same library on two computers for when I take my laptop on vacation away from my home network.
    What would you suggest for this situation?
    Thanks!

    sorry about the slight irrelevence of this post on this thread....i saw this much older post you had in my explorations and it is almost to a "T" my issue currently and i was wondering if you ever came to a conclusion or had any tips or resolution paths i could explore. your original message:
         I have 2 computers I'd like to set up Home Sharing on. One is Windows XP and the other is Windows 7.
         I set it all up but then the libraries never show up. Nothing happens.
         The computers are on the same network and I can successfully share files and a printer. Both computers are      authorized using the same account. Both are signed into that account.
         I don't know why it's not working. Can you please help?
              Thanks!!
    is EXACTLY my problem with the only variable being that both of my computers run 7. furthermore, you went on to say you were experiencing issues with the "remote" app. that was the initial objective for me in my system that got me here with a deeper problem with home share. i want to home share my itunes library and control it from my iPod touch 4g. is that such an unreasonable request?!?!? lol. i'm incredibly frustrated and was hoping that since you had such specifically similar circumstances....have you found a solution? PLEASE HELP!!! thank you so much for your time.
