Idea for a document tracking application

I'm a graphic designer looking for a better way to track time. There is currently a website, http://www.rescuetime.com/ that comes close to doing what I want. It logs the time spent on the active window. What it doesn't do is log the document name, particularly Adobe's programs. So it will tell me that I spent 10 minutes on a Photoshop file, just not which Photoshop file.
Is it possible to create a program that will log the file name and time spent on that window only when it is the active window? Also, could it log and sort by the file path, so that ultimately I could just ask it to find the total time spent on all files in the folder X?
And is this something that a (relatively intelligent) graphic designer could develop for my own use?

The practical problem would be that such a widget/application would need a very large database, regularly updated, of nearly all applications for the Mac, and which versions worked with which OS.
It seems a lot easier (to me) to check at
http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/
http://www.macupdate.com/
to see if your existing app version can carry over to leopard.

Which is the best and user freindly IDE for developing Java GUI application

Please advice me if there is any good IDE for developing all kind of Java applications.
I m confused about which IDE to use.
I have Searched on Net also. and most of the answers i found was for JBuilder and JBoss.
But cant confirm until u guys suggest me.
Because i think this is the best place to ask questions about java.
Please advice

If you're developing JSPs and Servlets....
I've found that using Eclipse (which is free) coupled with the MyEclipse plug-in (an advanced J2EE specific plug-in which costs $29.99USD/year) was the best for me. I've tried several free J2EE Eclipse plug-ins, didn't like them. Wasn't a big fan of NetBeans either, but I liked it tons better than the other Eclipse plug-ins.
Therefore, IMHO for free I'd go with NetBeans, for a small fee I'd go with Eclipse/MyEclipse plug-in.
If you are new to J2EE but not to Java, you may want to consider going straight to JSF and Sun's Java Studio Creator. This is not free, but the fee is one-time and development is (mostly) visual using Java Studio Creator.

Ideas for working with child applications

Hi. We are migrating to Web Forms from client server. We have a form that acts as the gateway to all of our other forms. During our migration I've been using Open_Form to call all other forms accessible from this gateway form. For the most part this works great. However I've noticed a couple of differences that I fear our users will complain about and I'd like to know if you have ideas as to how I can addresses these issues:
1. Each application is now housed within a single Windows taskbar item. In client-server, users are use to seeing a separate taskbar item for each application they open - thus allowing them to ALT-Tab between applications. It appears that under Web Forms there will only ever be one Windows Taskbar item and that the user will need to use ALT-W to toggle between open applications. Is this the norm under Web Forms? If so, I plan to present it as a simple training issue. But if there is a way to launch each application as a stand alone application with the ability to pass parameters to the launched application I would prefer to do that.
2. Many of our users will start their day by opening several form applications they frequently use. They do this so that they can simply toggle to the open form application quickly as opposed to navigating through our gateway application in order to lauch it each time. Many of our forms open and programatically put the for in Enter-Query mode so that they don't need to do this manually each time they open the form. However, I've noticed that under Web Forms that they cannot toggle away from an open form application if it's in Enter-Query mode. They receive the message "FRM-41361: Cannot navigate out of the current form in Enter-Query mode". Is this the norm under Web Forms? Should I plan on telling users they must Cancel-Query prior to toggling away from open forms in Enter-Query mode?
Any thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm thinking this might make for a long, messy fileDepends on which entries are really different. If all share the same environment then in each section you would just have the starting form.
The calling of the form would look like WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=xx', '_blank');
But.. if you don't use any single-sign-on-methods the user would have to connect again each time (or you would have to pass username/password as clear text in the url).
Other option:
If the main form does nothing but call other forms you could buildup a "static" html-page with a button for each "standalone"-application instead of the main-form.
btw.. One big problem we had with open_form some years ago (and behaviour is still the same):
You can only build up one CALL_FORM-stack in one runtime. This means if you have two parallel forms OF1 and OF2 opened with OPEN_FORM (you treat like different applications), if you
-go to OF1
-open a sub-form using CALL_FORM
-navigate to OF2
-try to issue a CALL_FORM from there you will get an FRM-41353.

Idea for new freeze track feature...

Dear all,
I just wanted to run this by you all before submitting it to the suggestions box to see if you reckon it would be a good idea, and even if it would be feasable to make...
What I was thinking is this:
Would it be possible to render just an instument, or just some of the effects that it uses, to freeze while still retaining the ability to change other plugins?
I got this idea from a track I am making at the moment at home which uses several instances of sculpture. My poor little PB isn't up to having all of them running at the same time without freezing them, preticularly with all the other tracks. Now sometimes I have a track done, but then realise when adding others that I would quite like to EQ it a little to help it sit better. In order to do this, I have to unfreeze the track, but then it is often impossible to hear it relative to the other tracks. Do you see what I mean?
What would be really cool would be a function to just freeze sculpture, but to allow the possibility of ading EQ etc on top of the frozen file. I know I could bounce it, but then you lose all the possibilities of being able to change/add notes etc after, or indeed to just tweak other settings within in.
This wouldn't only need to apply to EQ either - you could ad verb, delays, compresors, anything.
I guess, for it work, you would need to have a 'freeze' tool that would let you select which elements of the channel strip you want to freeze, and then complete the task by hitting play.
What do you think? Is it a good enough idea to submit, and also something that others would like to see, or is it just something that really isn't worth bothering with?
Best, Fred

Yes, I see what you mean about the plugins... It could still work with just freezing the instrument... The aux/bus trick is the way to do it, and I have been using it, but I was just thinking of something that could, potentially, be quite a neat work-around, and depending on your work-flow, it could speed things up as everything would be on one channel-strip. Because I work predominantly in the arrange and at home only have a small screen, it would be quite useful for me, but to be honest, I could just get the auxes up in the arrange. I have my busses showing anyway. Just an idea! Best, Fred

Where do I send great ideas for iPhone and iTouch applications??

I have some great ideas that Apple might be interested, but how do I let them know what they are. I don't want to ring as it would be an expensive international call!
If anybody working for Apple is moderating these forums could you please contact me and let me know what to do?
Or if any of you guys know how to speak to them, leave your comment.
My app ideas are fun and enjoyable, I'm sure you will be downloading them in the near future!

You can find an app developer and let them know.
I doubt Apple will accept unsolicited ideas, but you could use their feedback link if you feel compelled to do so.

Phone tracking applications

Hello everybody.
I am looking for a phone tracking application. What I want is this: a small phone app for my N96 that sends my GPS location to a server or a site via the cell network (don't worry, I have a flatrate for data upload and download) and i want to be able for other people to see where I am and where I was (trail) by just going to a website, without having to log in.
I tried phonelocator.mobi, but I can't register on the site and i don't get a reply for the support email I send them.
It would be great that maps 3.0 had this feature, but the problem will be that only OVI users can see where I am; same problem with Google Latitude: only my "gmail" contacts can see where i am, and, as I don't use Gmail and as such i don't have Gmail friends, nobody can see it.
I'd maybe even like to pay for it if it's not too expensive and works well.
Does anybody know about an app like this?
Thanks!
Solved!

Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

How old is your son?
Under the Spanner in Pages there is Set Password where you create a password with hint. You really have to deliberately dig this out to do it.
Do you get a hint when you are asked for the password?
The Password is very secure, if you can't remember what it is, you will have to recreate the document.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

Any idea for high display resolution in application sharing server ?

Hi.
I installed EP6 SP 13 with KMC and configure collaboration feature.
I tested application sharing and It works.
Then, I found problem.
Problem is that application sharing server doesn't support 1400x1050 display resolution. (only works till 1280x1024)
Is there any idea for solving this issue ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Arnold,
I'm afraid this screen resolution is not yet supported. The official supported screen resolution is 1024x768 ! but as you stated it <b>can</b> work wit 1280x1024. You could open an OSS ticket and ask the KM Development for plans on supporting higher resolutions in application sharing and let us also know.
Hope this helps,
Robert

MAC OS:Word cannot locate the server application for AcroExch.Document.7.objects

In MAC OS,installed Adobe reader ,When I double click a pdf file in Word2011,it shows"Word cannot locate the server application for AcroExch.Document.7.objects".what can i do to fix it?

I found out through someone else. The "how to" find the place to add it was more challenging.
Instructions:
1. Take the Webarchive file and save it on your computer (anywhere is fine).
2. Open MacMail and go to preferences>signatures and create a signature with any name and filler text. Close Macmail.
3. Open your finder, go to the "Library" folder. If you cannot view your Library folder, open up "terminal" and simply paste in: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
(this will allow you to view your Library folder from now on)
4. In your library folder, go to Mail>Mail Data>signatures
5.Copy the name of the signature file that is already in the signatures folder. It should look something like "079ADD83-A19F-4597-BBFC-4F35858894DE" After copying that name, delete the file.
6. Go to the webarchive file you saved and rename it the name of the file you just deleted. Then paste that into the library>Mail>Mail Data>signatures folder.
7. Open your macmail and see if it worked!
If my directions are not clear, you may find the following article helpful from step 5: http://code.coneybeare.net/how-to-make-an-html-signature-in-apple-mail-f
Now here's how I managed to find my Library/Mail in OSX 10.7.3:
Menu: Go
Choose: Home
Library
Mail
Vs
Mail Data
Signatures
Hope this helps!

Ideas for deploying Java Applications to the Web?

I am developing a java application which will be distributed via cd and the Web. My first idea was to create the application for cd, then modify it with applets to be deployed on the web. Does anyone else have any better suggestions?
