IMovie conversion and file management

When iMovie converts DV files for e.g speeding up/down, it makes a copy of the movie which is smaller in size. Can I delete the original DV file from my disk to save HD room?

In-Browser Editing and File Management

Dealing with files in IBE is a mess, period. There is no way to tell any details about your media (dimensions would be a start). Again, I know it is a young part of Muse and I am excited for it, but I'm hoping I'm not the only one that views it as complicated at best. I'm not even sure about what I can clean up concerning duplicate images because there is no way to tell which one is being used.
I'm worried about 6 months down the road when my back end is bloated because my clientele can not delete nonsense pictures they loaded and I have no way, nor the time, to clean up the files that are littering my host space. They need to be able to navigate the file system without it overwhelming them. Overwhelmed clients are clients that leave you.
Two big things on my mind:
The erratic behavior of the text in IBE. It looks nothing like a paragraph so there is no way to judge what it will look like when you press update.
File Management in IBE.
Very excited about Muse. I do hope these things are being addressed.

This is really strange. I tried editing the drop down menus this morning, and it didn't work, so I posted this question.
I went back this afternoon to try the suggestion above, and I can edit the drop down pages by clicking on the drop down menus.
I'm not sure why it works now, but I'm glad that it does.

Online file storage with access control and file manager integrated to APEX website

I have APEX 4.2 website with few user accounts. I would like to share approximately 100 GB of documents to users. Some documents will be public (in some public folder) and everyone with account in my website will be able to download that public files. And some files/folders will be with restricted access and only user with appropriate credentials will be able to download it.
I would like to find some cheap cloud file storage.
Some storage that offers plugin/component = file manager that will be integrated to my APEX website and authentication will be transparent to my users (authentication with some API or URL). Every user will see only his files. I want some ready to use component and call only minimum API.
I would like to integrate that storage to my website or call some user specific URL and redirect my user to some page with file manager.
All files will be read only for all users.
Thanks for some tips

what will you be using for your file manager? Or do you even know yet?
I do not have tons of experience but if I had to come up with a solution I would build the interface with APEX and use the database to store the files inside so you can control access.
You can create a procedure that takes in parameters like username, session id, encrypted session id from the browser cookie and either return the file or give the user an error message letting them know they arent authorized. You could use plugins to give the users a better file managing experience like the 'multiple file upload' plugin that allows AJAX based multiple file uploading.
Id put this on an amazon EC2 cloud micro instance. It's uber cheap.

Imovie 8 and Workgroup manager

Hello
I am using workgroup manager and imovie 8. When I login as a student or staff user, I cannot import files such as AVI. I get an error message (This file cannot be copied or moved error code: -43). If I login as admin, I am able to import files. I even tried to create a local user, but I still have to give admin rights to get it to work. I noticed in imovie 8 that when I am importing an AVI file from my flip camera, there is a save to pull down option that lists the Mac OS X hard drive. It does not give an option to save it to another location. Could that be the problem? When a student or staff is logged in, they cannot save to the local HD. I tried a previous version of imovie and was successful at importing a file. However, I want to use imovie 8. Any suggestions?? Thank you

Version Document Info Record and File Management

Hi all!
want to edit DMS document info records (as in cv04n - add, del files) without deleting original DIR -> Version management of DIRs.
I use the following BAPI scenario:
- BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETACTVERSION (get the highest version of a DIR)
- BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 (to get the object links of the DIR)
- BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2 (create a new version of the DIR, copyoriginals = X, object links are copied as well)
- again BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETACTVERSION (get this new version number)
- again BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 to get the files of the new version DIR)
- to delete single files, i change the file record of the files table ( set deletevalue = X).
- then BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2 as suggested in a nother thread of mine by 2 community members.
the latest step runs for version = 00, but when having a version gt 00, the bapi_document_change2 returns : "original is already checked in and stored".
also i checked the ph_objid and lo_objid (the ids are the same for Version n and n+1), which might be the reason for the error mentioned above.
i can't find any solution.
thanks for replies in advance,
Christoph

Hi all!
got the solution: - finally !!!
Problem:
you want to edit Document info records - using a new version of this DIR. in the new version it is possible to add and delete files.
Solution:
- CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETACTVERSION'
and get the actual hightest version of the DIR
- ls_objtype-OBJECTTYPE = '*'.
append ls_objtype to myobjectlinks. to be able to copy all the objectlinks of the DIR.
- lv_dokvr_new = lv_dokvr_ref + 1. - increment the DIR version number
- CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2 to create a new version of the DIR.
- * get again the actual version
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETACTVERSION'
- * get files of the new version
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2'
- * set the delete flag for those you want to delete in the table documentfiles.
- CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2'
IMPORTANT ***
!!! transfer O N L Y the files you want to delete O R transfer all files but C L E A R the STORAGE_CATEGORY field !!!
any questions? feel free to ask...

I need some legacy OS help. Resource and File Manager stuff...

I don't know where to find a better place to ask this and I know that it will strain your memory, but I really am in need of help.
I am working on a Windows port of the old and now defunct SpriteWorld animation library. I used to be involved in its development when I had a Mac several years ago, and I really enjoyed toying with it. I am aware of SpriteWorld X, but I don't like C++ and I want to do this for myself.
Anyway, the coding of the actual project will be trivial. What I need help with are the dozens of resource files that contain all of the graphics used by the examples. Since I'm doing this in Windows, I cannot simply open the resource files in ResEdit or even in code very easily. What I'm trying to do is extract the PICT and cicn resources in the files. I did find the legacy documentation on Apple's developer site and I have studied it thoroughly. However, the Resource Manager documentation leaves out a great many details and is making it nearly impossible to parse the files.
The biggest issue that I'm having is finding the exact starting point in the file for the resource fork. What I've noticed is that there seems to be an undocumented and nearly identical header, containing the file name, creator, file type and unknown data of unknown length, in all of the files that I've viewed. Since this header is not documented, it makes it very difficult to find the start of the fork. I'm guessing that it is used by the Finder?
I was able to manually find the start(I think...), since a copy resource fork header is 30 bytes prior to the first resource type listed in the file. Per the documentation, this is merely a copy and the actual header is further up in the file. I've found that, but many times the offsets are wrong. All of the offsets start at the beginning of the resource fork, which unfortunately, does not start at the first byte in the file. To make it even more difficult, most of the time the real header (and thus the fork) starts 82 bytes in, but not always and there doesn't seem to be any reason for the discrepancy. Even when I'm sure of the location of the start of the fork, the offsets in the header often times will point to random data in the file instead of the correct locations. I don't know if the files are corrupted or if there is more information that I'm missing.
Without being able to decipher the resource fork structure, there is no way that I can write the utility I need to extract the data. I know that I'm asking for help with VERY old data, but I'm not sure where else to turn. If I could afford it, I would just go out and buy a Mac. Unfortunately, that is not an option. I've searched just about as far as I can with Google, but to no avail. I wouldn't post this, but I've simply exhausted all other avenues. I sure hope someone can shed some light on this matter.
Message was edited by: Mark_Speir

If you get really stuck, you might find a helpful soul that might be willing to generate screen captures or otherwise de-rez the files for you. I've never gotten around to figuring out a way to dump the graphics directly from the resource forks, however, I do happen to have several legacy Macs still running on my home network, as well as some earlier OSX versions.
Currently:
Powerbook G4 (2), OSX 10.5.8, and 10.4.11
iMac G4, OSX 10.3.9
PowerMac 8600, OS 9.2
PowerMac 8500 (2), OS 8.x, OSX 10.1 Server
Mac IIci, OS 8.x or 7.x (have to check)
Mac LC III, OS 7.x or 8.x (currently powerd off, but can be resurrected, used for terminal emulator
(I've made use of these myself to get screen captures, and extract sound resources via ResEdit or Resorcerer for my own port of some legacy software).

What is up with bouncing and file management??!?

When making splits to send to the stage I always offline bounce into a folder I create in the "Bounces" folder. In Logic 8, if you have "add file to bin" selected, it automatically moves all your bounces out of the "bounces" folder and into the "Audio Files" folder.
This is extremely annoying. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a "feature" or a bug?

Thanks for that info.
I need to keep all audio files associated with a project in one place.
In 7 we developed a great system which makes posting on our server easy to do straight from Logic. But all the files need to be in the right place for it to work and 8 seems to have erratic behavior with where it puts stuff.
It should workk just like it did in 7 but when you bounce and have "Add to Audio Bin" checked, it moves the bounces out of the bounces folder and into the audio folder. If you uncheck "Add....." it keeps the bounces in the bounces folder.
This is no good for us. I need to bounce and have those files stay in the bounces folder while also being added to the audio bin. That way everything stays organized according to our system.
However, the mention in another post about erratic file behavior makes me think it is a bug.
Thanks for the info everyone. Any other input welcome.

BB10 File Manager keeps showing previously linked (and gone) computer

Hi. After upgrade from 10.2.1 to 10.3.1, access to / from my paired computer stopped working. I tried removing and readding it and apparently ran into a bug. In Device Connections I have my computer linked again BUT in File Manager I can see it twice ("mylaptop (offline)", "mylaptop-1") and I've no idea how to get rid off the former (original). If I remove the computer in Device Connections then just "mylaptop-1" disappears from File Manager and the other entry stays there and unusable. How to fix it please ?

hmm, this somehow fixed itself after two weeks or so. but i'm not very confident about bb file manager now, especially as i ran into issue with sd card and file manager showing incorrect info. it seems there's some caching which may persist even after phone restart..? fishy to say the least :-/

Searching for a good file manager

I'm searching for a good file manager. Konqueror 3.5 is quite good, dolphin 4.1 and konqueror 4.1 are not. Since konqueror 3.5 is going to die due to lack of support in the future, I kind of need to find a new good file manager...
Do there exist file managers with the following features?
Many of these features are things I thought were quite logical to be in a file manager, but seem to be missing in most "modern" ones...
-independent of any desktop (gnome or KDE), just a standalone program
-preferably not being both a web browser and file manager in once, at least not in an annoying way. Konqueror 3.5 shows that being that combination is possible without being annoying.
-ability to have a tree view of the folders on one side and list view showing the files and subfolders of the folder currently selected in the tree on the other side
-detailed list view showing at least filename, type, date and size, and the ability to sort according to any of these properties
-a non-detailed view showing image contents would also be nice, to browse folders of photos or other images
-ability to open files in certain programs if you doubleclick the file, NOT open it by singleclicking, singleclicking may only select it
-ability to select multiple files by dragging box around files or using keys like "ctrl" and "shift"
-ability to do "open terminal here" or type terminal commands in the current open directory
-must have ability to drag files from one folder to another, from list view to tree view and vica versa, to move or copy them
-and must have ability to use "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" to copy files and foldes from here to there
-multiple tabs is a huge plus
-favorites (to local folder paths) is also a huge plus
-preview of files when hovering the mouse over them is nice
-must have ability to zip and unzip (or other compression formats) folders by just right clicking them and choosing a zip/unzip command there
-in addition to that, must also have ability to browse through a zip file as you would through a normal directory, and drag files from the insides of the zip file to the tree view to automatically unzip those files there, and of course "ctrl+c"/"ctrl+v" should also work to copy a file from the inside of the zip file, to some other folder on your disk
-no horizontal autoscrolling in the tree view, that is an invention straight from the abyss...

I know exactly how you feel about KDE 4 vs. 3 -- Konqueror was the best part of KDE for me (pretty much the only part I ever used, actually; my window manager is a slightly modified version of WMII and I generally loathe "desktop environments"). KDE 4 ruined it, completely and utterly.
I submitted about 20 different bug reports about Konqeuror 4, mostly features that they'd deleted or mangled; some of them are starting to be addressed now. I don't think they'll ever fix the speed issues though, because those are dependent on the underlying KDE 4 libraries as far as I can tell -- it's as if KDE 4 were purposely and deliberately designed to be slower than KDE 3. Even if they fix all of its deficiencies, that'll probably keep me from using it...
Right now there's KDEmod, which will hopefully maintain its KDE 3 branch for a while longer. It's starting to show some problems, though; I haven't been able to get kdemod konqueror 3 to work fully out of the box (the settings pages are all blank). On my main machine, I somehow managed to hack together some of the KDEmod3 packages so that I have a functional konqueror 3 running alongside the Arch repository's version of KDE4. I'm afraid to pacman -Syu now, though, because it will probably break horribly :P
I don't remember exactly how I got konqueror 3 going like that, as I did it in my initial fit of rage after I did the pacman -Syu that got me KDE4 (a decision I have regretted ever since), but it was something like this:
1. move /opt to /opt.kde4
2. make a new /opt
3. download several KDE 3 packages from the KDEmod3 repositories manually
4. extract those packages into the new /opt with tar -xzf (NOT pacman!)
5. try /opt/kde/bin/konqueror
6. read reams of error messages about missing libraries, segfaults, etc.
7. try to supply the missing libraries by downloading other kdemod3 packages and manually extracting them
8. goto 5
Then, when everything worked (sort of), I renamed some stuff so that 'konqueror' is konqueror 4 (I think having it konqueror 3 broke something else, but I don't remember what), and konqueror 3 is called 'k3nqueror'.
If KDEmod3 ever goes away and there's no other good replacement file manager by then, I'll probably take the source code of KDE3 and try to make a standalone version of konqueror out of it. (Which will probably be quite a project because of how interdependent all the KDE components are.)
Some features I "need" in a file manager, besides the ones you mentioned:
- Konqueror's tree view (where you can expand folder branches in the file list)
- Infinite view splitting -- I frequently have my konqueror windows split into 4, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 view panes. Very useful for sorting out files.
- Selection rectangles are sensitive only over files -- I find full-row-select really annoying, because there are no guaranteed "blank" areas that you can click on to clear a selection. I also use this behaviour to grab long-named files that are interspersed with short ones, because they hilight first when the rectangle touches them (you wouldn't think this very useful, but surprisingly often you do want to do something to all the long-named files...)
- Right-clicking on a folder and clicking "Paste" pastes into that folder, not the current one -- you'd be amazed at how many file managers get this wrong. I shouldn't have to cd into a folder just to paste some files there.

Failed to execute default file manager (Input /Output Error) [SOLVED]

I'm having an issue in XFCE where the default Terminal, Browser and File Manager launch correctly - but with this error:
Failed to execute default [file manager] [terminal emulator] [browser]
Input /Output Error
I have the requisite "Preferred Application" set as Chrome/Thunar/xfce4-terminal.
If I run
exo-open --launch FileManager
From terminal, it says:
[1] 4281 segmentation fault (core dumped) exo-open --launch FileManager
Remember, it launches the app successfully - and the apps themselves launch correctly, it's only exo-open that I have a problem with! Everything else works great on this system.

Tried downgrading glibc from 2.21-3 to 2.21-2 as this is the package which contains libpthread.so, and on my other arch workstations I don't have the issue, but to no avail, same error box pops up when using exo-open, and my IDEs are not starting.
I'll try comparing installed packages versions on both workstations.

Set nautilus as default file manager in kde?

I would give kde a good chance, but I have several issues with konqueror. Is it possible to set nautilus as the default file manager in kde? I have started nautilus from kde before.
Is this possible?

OK then. Install nautilus.
control center > file associations > inode > directory [ then add: "nautilus --no-desktop" ] (make sure it's primary in the list)
You'll not be able to open KIO slaves such as media:// with nautilus though. Maybe you should create launchers on the desktop running "nautilus --no-desktop computer://" etc?
There are some other cosmetic changes you can do as well, such as installing gnome-volume-manager, gnome-settings-dameon, gnome-control-center etc.
Another way is just to add "nautilus --no-desktop" as default application for inode > directory, but don't add it as *primary*, but secondary application, so you can right click and choose "open with nautilus" on the desktop/konqueror.
I've successfully run a complete nautilus desktop replacing konqueror as root window and file manager, and it works really good actually.
I did uncheck "icons on desktop" and disabled wallpaper in kcontrol.
Had to disable "hal backend" in kde to let gnome-volume-manager take care of hal mounts; "HalBackendEnabled=false" in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc
Then i had to run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in .kde/Autostart/startup (this file should be executable, as usual) (nautilus itself is a GUI application and will survive the next session on it's own, because of KDE session managment)
I took the easy route and installed the whole "gnome" metapackage instead of selective packages though.
The only problem was that kedit.desktop didn't want to start as default application for say, text files, but i had to enter kedit manually in that box you get during "open with dialog".
I bastardized KDE, i know
It was worth it! hehe
BTW dolphin/d3lphin is really good too, as lucke pointed out.

File Managment - FCP X Vs Imovie

Hi,
I'm trying to optimize my videos file managment I have a lot of clips and movies created with FCP. I was wondering if for the pure file managment make more sense to use iMove rather than FCP X. Anyone using both?
Moreover, I'm used to store original clips in my external HD, but If I import them with FCP 10 they are incorporated in the library file, how can I import clips and store them without the library issue? Ideally puting them directly in the external HD?

Thanks, I will then use FCP only.
I had still a couple of questions.
a) How can import clips from my camera with FCP 10 without having original encript in library files? Or should I use a different tool just for import?
b) All clips I imported in the past from my camera (sony) are .mov they are terrible heavy, one trip orinal clips only are hundreds of GB. What is the best file format for original clips in your view?
