Identifying images in Photostream Project as being elsewhere in the database?

my aperture database is stuck on 3.4.5 because my mac pro is stuck on lion and i cannot figure out how to SORT my library with respect to these Projects.
basically i have changed my PS settings over the last couple of years (including my import settings) and i can no longer figure out if images that are in PS project are /solely/ in these projects or if they also reside elsewhere in the database. this relates (in part) to a confusion i had about what photo stream was doing but also about what the settings were doing.
so i have a huge issue where i don't know if SOME of the images in these Projects are basically "originals" in my database (it is the only instance of them in the database) or if they represent basically copies of images that are stored in their correct place in a Project that "thematically" sorts my images.
i mean, ideally i want to get all my images sorted THEMATICALLY in a Project and not simply have SOME of them only in the PS Projects. i also don't want to have to drag out /all/ of the images, sort all of them into thematically named Projects and then have to delete the ones that came in twice. this will be a nightmare and represent possibly three weeks of work.
anyway, i am upgrading to a new laptop with a larger hard drive and i am wondering if i migrate my library onto this new computer with a newer OS (and presumably a newer version of Aperture) can i sort this out easier/easily?
right now under my current OS i do not believe there is a way to see if the images in my PhotoStream Projects are basically duplicates of other images that have already been sorted into thematically named Projects of if in fact i need to move some images out of these PS Projects in order to get them where they belong.
hopefully someone understands the predicament and if not can ask me to clarify as i am pretty much dead in the water with an unsorted database AFAIK.
THANKS

Yes you are right concerning iPhoto retaining the full size photo, in my earlier post I was incorrect to assume that PS pushed the lower quality photo to iPhoto, it doesn't, but it does push a lower quality image to your other idevices. This quoted from the FAQ....
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices.
Your device holds two copies of the same photo, one in PS, the other in whatever album you save your photo to, or the camera roll. My point is that PS is supposed to be a temporary folder, holding the images for 30 days, allowing you time to save the ones you want. As it is now, it's duplicating every photo, and storing them on the same device twice. Not what I want, nor what it's intended to do. If you have an iPhone, you can check this by using Camera+ or an app which shows metadata. Take a photo, import it into Camera+ then click info, look at the file size, then load the same photo from PS, again click info and look at the file size. Two different sizes, meaning two copies of the same photo, one being lower quality.
I just want it to do the task it's supposed to, which is temporarily hold my images, letting me save the ones I want, and then clearing after a month.

Where is the Project Number value held in the database for i-Expenses..?

afternoon gurus..
As title asks - I need to find out where the project number field is in the database so I can query on it.. Or where could I find this out?
It must be somewhere. The obvvious place, the AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_lines_all.project_id is blank whilst the cost code field is populated with the code_combination_id code.
THanks for looking..
S

aha!
In OIE.J and below , the project_id value was stored in AP_EXPENSE_REPORT_LINES_ALL table.
From OIE.K an on ,the column name project_id was obsolete in ap_expense_lines_all table,
and was added in table ap_exp_report_dists_all.
good old MOS (sometimes...)

VOFM Custom Routine - Wrong values being stored in the database

Hi Experts,
I am using a requirement routine in my Z condition type.
In invoices for new sales orders, the condition is coming directly at the line item level.
In the older open sales orders, at the time of creation of invoices we are manually entering this condition type at the header level. We don't enter any value at the header level. The routine calculates the values properly when we go to the line item condition tabs. But after saving the invoice, in change mode the value is being displayed as 0 against this condition type.
In case we enter the condition type at the item level, the same values are being displayed and the values get saved correctly. But since the number of line items are generally more than 100 at the invoice level, the users can't be expected to enter all condition type for all the line items.
I am writing the code in the form kobed_903. form kobev_903 is not accessed. SAP notes says that kobed is for the header and kobev for items. Can anyone suggest what am i doing wrong.
I am saving values as below.
read table tkomv assigning <f_komv> with key knumv = komk-knumv
kposn = komp-kposn
kschl = 'ZVPR'.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
<f_komv>-kbetr = 'Calculated Value'.
<f_komv>-kwert = 'Calculated Value'.
<f_komv>-kwert_k = 'Calculated Value'.
<f_komv>-waers = 'AED'.
<f_komv>-kwaeh = 'AED'.
endif.
*The form ends with
sy-subrc = 0.
Thanks,
Abdullah

If I enter the condition at the item level, the invoice saves the value. But if I enter the condition at the header level, the value is being displayed at the item level by performing the necessary calculations but it does not save. So I am changing the value of KHERK from D to C in the row of TKOMV for this particular condition type. The values are being stored now but is this advisable?
Thanks,
Abdullah

Column value not being saved to the database

I have an app I am developing in HTML DB. I added a column to my database table so I then went and added an item to my form and made the source the database and gave it the column name. However, when I populate this item it will not save the value to the database. It is saving all the other items. We have hit this issue in the past, and if we delete the item and add it again it will work but that is not the case for me this time.
I have compared this 6 way to Sunday to ensure I have it setup like all others. I have no typo in the column name cause I cut and paste from a describe after a few failed attempts at getting this to work.
I am able to get the report screen of this app to display the column.
Anyone come across this and have a workaround? Note, there are no errors, it just won't save the value for some reason.

anonymous - What is the column datatype? I suggest you install the application into your workspace on htmldb.oracle.com (and create the table in your application schema). Let us know the workspace name and application ID so we can take a look. Also, always give the version of the product you are using.
And we'd like to see your first name.

Stumped: Cannot see imported images in a project...but they are there!

I recently imported a set of images into a project in Aperture 3. The item count in the project shows as 550, but when I click on it, only 368 images are displayed. Huh?
If I use the "In the Last Week" Smart Album, I see the images there. Aperture won't let me drag them into the project I want them in, so I know they are there.
Why doesn't Aperture show me the latest images in the project?

So, turns out that there was indeed a filter applied. Nothing was typed into the search field in the upper left of the image list, but there were two small icons there, one looked like a pushpin and the other I couldn't identify. No idea how they got there, but once I clicked the "X" to clear the search box, all of the images were displayed. Strange, since I don't remember doing anything to set up a filter.
Thanks for your help, everyone!

Display Image from the database but prevent it from refreshing on every pages

Hi there,
I can see there are many discussions around this but my query is slightly different. I'm writing this on behalf of one of my developers. (sorry for my ignorance on techie stuff.. :-))
A logo is being displayed on a few pages, which is called from the database. However, the problem is that - this logo refreshes every time when you traverse to each page causing a performance issue or sometimes slow loading of the image.
My question is - how do we stop it from loading on each page from the database?. I would rather load once when the main page loads initially and then maintain this on other pages too.
We can keep this logo on a file system (FS) and display it via CSS/HTML/frame but since we want to keep it flexible/dynamic where a user can upload a new one whenever it changes and hence DB seems to be the suitable option (in my opinion).
Can someone please help?
If you need any further info around the coding how it is being done at present, pls let me know.
Thank you

read this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28393/adlob_tables.htm#g1017777
you can cache lobs in the database too
you can also upload the pic in your file system using utl_file package and then put the image in the working directory mentioned in i.war
you can then reference the image and it will not be stored in the database and will be cached

Resource manager and images being rewritten in the project root

Hi everybody,
I began using the Resource Manager, and I created two folders, one with HTML files (topics), and another one with pictures present in those topics.
As I transferred the topics to the HTML shared folder the pictures references remained the old ones, i.e. the ones inside the project folder, right?
Therefore I began reassigning the pictures to the ones copied in the pictures shared folder, and here begins to be a little bit illogical and difficult.
I deleted the pictures from the original project folder as I want to save the space and have, of course, the pictures only in the shared folder, however after I reassign the pictures to one of the topics, and I sync it, the pictures I deleted appear in the root folder of the project.
I wanted to have the "common" pictures (they appear in 2 different projects) only in the shared folder (declared as pictures folder in Resource Manager) because if I do a modification of one picture, I would like to have this modification propagated in the second project, right?
And also save some space, as it does not make any sense to me to have the same pictures in 2 places (double space consumed) when I can have them in only one folder.
I would like to know how I can avoid this recopying of the picture files in my project folder, if possible.
The procedure I used was:
1. Found out which are the common topics for the 2 projects and copied them in the Resource Manager shared folder for HTML files.
2. Found out which pictures were on those topics and copied them in the Resource Manger shared folder for pictures
3. I included the shared topics into the project, and reassigned the pictures to the ones that are in the Resource Manager shared pictures folder
4. I saved the topic, and did a sync in the Resource Manger
Did I do something wrong here?
Thank you.

The repository has all the images you may want to use in any of your projects or elsewhere.
Each time you link in a project, that image only is copied to the project, not the whole repository. If either copy changes, you are notified. You then have the choice of updating the out of date copy or breaking the link because for some reason you now want the difference.
Your statement "I saw that if I use an external directory to the actual project where I have pictures, RoboHelp will copy those into the project's folder" is not correct. The Resource pod will show all the images available in the repository but only the ones in used in the project are copied locally.

Wrong images appearing in project window / timeline

I'm doing a SIMPLE slideshow project for a frient. I've got a file folder of images that I imported into CS5. In the timeline the correct images are not appearing when placed from the timeline. Even in the Project folder most of the images are not what they are in explorer. Most, when opened in the Source Monitor are the correct image, even though the wrong image is appearing on the timeline, but even there many are not correct. What is happening is that the image of about 15 of the 105 imported images are appearing in the place of all of the other images. It's like something is cached, and the appropriate linkages aren't being made.
What's even more frustrating is that the ONLY effect applied to all of the impages is Scale to Frame. There are no transistion. Nothing.
What simple solution is there for images not importing into CS5 correctly?
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that suggestion. It DOES work! However, it is time consuming since I'm working with over 1,000 images. Instead, I was able to discover the following solution:
The culprit was the magic checkbox under Edit -> Preferences -> Media for "Write XMP ID to Files on Import." This setting writes a GUID to all media imported into Premiere for use with all Adobe apps. I actually found the reference to it in an After Effects forum. I didn't fully understand exactly why this is useful when I'm only working with still images. My guess is that somehow these GUIDs became crossed over.
I disabled this checkbox, deleted all references to the affected media, and deleted all cache files, including all files under C:\Users\Username\AppData\Adobe\Common\Media Cache. I then reimported the originals of my source files from my network attached storage (SO thankful that I moved them offline without touching them). Viola! Everything works.
It was critical that I made copies of all of my data to my NAS. Adobe actually writes this GUID for the XMP ID to the file itself, which changes the modification date of the actual file. So, I guess the error will follow the file wherever it goes (in an Adobe application) unless it's resaved in PhotoShop to correct the error. Luckily, the files on my NAS were untouched by Adobe, since I made copies to work with locally. Only the local files were affected. Once I disabled the checkbox, then Adobe no longer attempts to modify files on import and leaves them intact.

Images aren't being displayed in the links panel

I am trying to locate the source file for images in an InDesign CS6 document, so that I can use them within another project (Muse). I had planned to use the links panel to see the path for each image. However, only a few of my graphics/images are being displayed in the links panel. Most images are not showing up at all (I would expect them to show as 'missing' in the links panel if they had been moved or deleted). How can InDesign display the image in InDesign but not recognize the image as an asset in the Links panel? Could this be due to the way the image was imported? If so is there any way to export the image or save the image out of InDesign?
Help!

Did you put those images into the ID document? Did someone else?
Is it possible that someone copied and pasted those images from Photoshop (or another application) into ID. If so, that's the problem.
I'm not too sure you can retrieve the images at their proper resolutions, though.

Image 'lost' from Project

Anyone had experience of loosing images?
Have been slowly exploring adoption of Aperture in workflows. Following sequence adopted resulted in images being 'lost' - Not a good thing!:
1. import existing images into different Image Projects - mostly RAW NEF files
2. Under each Image Project, select & adjust images, create and arrange selected images in a project-specific Light Table - each Light Table to be a spread in a Book
3. Create a separate Book Project and within this a Book Album
4. Copy the Light Tables (drag-n-drop) from the source Image Projects to the Book Project
5. Copy the selected images from each Light Table into the Book Album for layout on different spreads
In itself a pretty naff sequence as it quickly becomes apparent a major shortcoming here is that you need to do the layout & re-sizing steps twice - once for the Light Table direction then again for the Book Layout (and I thought computers made repetitive tasks a thing of history).
However - and I've repeated this - what you find is Images end up in the Book but Magically disappear from the Light Table Albums as well as the Original Project. Not a feature I really want.
I asked at the local Apple Store Genius centre and they at least provided relief that the image is not 'lost' forever - just to Aperture. There's a neat trick for drilling down the Aperture project database: a right-click (cntrl-click) on the Aperture project database will give you a menu item ' Show Package Contents' which then reveals all projects - and successive right-clicks then allow you to drill down the images so you can actually search and find using Finder. It's rescued me with only a few hundred images at present in the system - but I'd hate to be searching through a few thousand.
Is there an easier way for Aperture to repair the database?
Until I'm confident in the image storage, Aperture will remain just experimmental.
Dual 2.5G5 1.5GB Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Basically, dragging a file from one Project to
another actually moves the original file and removes
it from the original Project.
Not true if you are dragging Albums from one Project to Another - a legitimate expectation in a profesional workflow - and fluid workflow support is after all a core promise of Aperture.
Moving or copying Albums (eg drag-n-drop of Light Table Album) leaves the original Project intact. Or so it should do. But it doesn't. Instead odd images randomly disappear from the original project - and the Album.
As another respondent said, the biggest problem is not thatthey disappear forever - you can dig around and retrieve them - but that you don't know what's suddenly disappeared from sight unless you know your projects image-by-image.
Loosing stuff from a database is the biggest no-no of any application and Apple need to fix this one fast - or at least have a repair mechanism.

Camera Roll Images on Photostream?

i seem to be endlessly perplexed by photostream.
does anyone know if images i take on my iPhone that are stored in CAMERA ROLL supposed to be seen on my computers or on my iPhone in "Photostream"? do i have to check a setting on my phone somewhere for this to happen? also, does this happen by Wifi or perhaps via my Cellular signal or both?
i am running Mavericks on the MBP ML on the Mac Pro and Aperture on both.
thanks for any help.

hi randers.
thank you so much for the help.
i have been ignoring this issue for the better part of a year and i am finally sitting down to thrash through it so i can get this to work. in this case i think the issue is that i had to turn on Wifi.
i have been getting help with the Aperture Settings in the last couple of days and these are a real beast. i wish they would at least make a half attempt to document the settings, /name/ them in some consistent way and to minimize the number of places i can set something related to the cloud sync/storage functionality. it has been such a nightmare since the days of MobileMe.
for instance -irrespective of corruption issues in MobileMe in particular - not only can i set something in Aperture on my MBP and my Mac Pro and my iPhone but i can also set something related to Photos Sync in my iPhone (thanks for pointing this out) but i CANNOT set anything (apparently) related to photos in iCloud on the web. Also, even just the setting in APERTURE ITSELF has changed between ML and Mavericks with one saying "iCloud" and the other saying "Photos" or something or other. plus /none/ of the settings in Aperture have any documentation associated with them whatsoever (either within the UI or in an FAQ or online documentation).
ALSO, even just the icon for setting for Photostream in iOS6 is shown as the icon for VIEWING ALL PHOTOS on the iPhone even though i can download the iPhoto App for my iPhone (free) which also syncs to Photostream and which (apparently) has more robust functionality that the stock "Photo" App. i don't understand why mac developers or all people would not understand that making the switch in Settings for Photostream Sync On/Off the /same/ icon as the APPLICATION on the iPhone that handles all photos (irrespective of whether photostream is on or off) is uber confusing. i did have it on but just saying "Photos" and a switch does not clue me in to the fact that this is related to Photostream.
not to complain but i am guesing that there are half a dozen different names for the settings for Photostream sync between mountain lion and mavericks just between my computers and my iPhone.
and - actually - NOT having an option to check for photostream in iCloud actually makes it a lot easier to understand how to manage this sync. i can just turn it on or off for my various devices and leave it at that...
anyway, i spent about four days reading and troubleshooting related issues (non-photostream photos showing up in photostream on my iPhone and photostream photos on my iPhone not showing up elsewhere) so it is a BIG relief to get this more under control.
THANK YOU

Desktop can not see all images in aperture project

When trying to change the background picture desktop lists my aperture projects but only displays a subset (5 of 114) of the images in one project. Also have 2 of 8, 152 of 152, and 0 of 12 in different projects.

It's possible you don't have Previews for the "missing" images (Aperture shares the Preview, not the full image).
What happens if you update every image in the Project's Preview?

In the Library inspector, Control-click the project whose JPEG previews you want to update, then choose Update Previews from the shortcut menu.
