Import styles question

Hi,
How to be more specific while import style from external file? I am talking about method:
Document.importStyles (ImportFormat.PARAGRAPH_STYLES_FORMAT,
myFile[, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy=GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE])
The goal is to import chosen styles only (one, few of them) nor all of them.
thx

As you found out, the method is called "importStyles" not "importStyle".
One approach is to use the "properties" property to transfer the essentials of any native object.
Sub-objects such as the various settings and and options of object styles require extra steps, though.
E.g.
myStyle.properties = otherStyle.properties;
You can also create a blank document, import the styles there and remove the non desired ones.

Then don't do it. Use Paste and Match style in the Edit Menu. You don't need to go by other applications which Niel suggested.
It's not always the best soluce.
Example:
copy group of 3*3 cells from a Numbers table
Paste in Pages gives a table with every style attributes.
Paste and Match Style gives nine paragraphs of raw text, one by cell, exactly what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Rtf window and converting it to Text.
Running my good old huge script :
--{code}
set the clipboard to the clipboard as text
--{code}
then Paste, gives three paragraphs with cell's contents separated by TAB characters exactly as what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Text window.

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

Object Style Manager: How to import styles into CP8 from CP7

Here's my problem:
I open a Captivate file created in CP7
I save it as a different file name in CP8
I create a new Object Style - say for a Text Caption
I export the Style - I've tried just the new style, all styles, all styles for all objects.
I create a new CP8 file, save it.
I try and import the styles exported in step 4 and get the error: "Cannot import Styles.The style file you are trying to import was exported from an earlier version of Captivate"
I don't get it. I opened the CP7 file and resaved it with a new name in CP8 in a different location.
What's the problem?

OK finally I have an answer:
Open CP7 File with Default & custom styles
Copy all slides
Create new CP8 file & save
Paste all slides to this new file & save
Object Style Manager : Export all styles of all objects
Create / Open a CP8 file
Object Style Manager : Import styles created in step 5

Import style from external document

Is there a helper class to import styles similar to load text styles (without the gui) in paragraph styles flyout menu, or does the work have to be done manually creating style if it doesn't exist and editing if it does etc..
Any pointers appreciated

Here is a snippet of code I use to merge styles from a master document to another document.
Entry: IDatabase* docdb (database for dest doc)
    ISysFileData* sourceFileData (file information for src doc)
do
    InterfacePtr<IDocument> docp((IDocument*)docdb->Instantiate(docdb->GetRootUID(), IDocument::kDefaultIID));
    //    Load the character and paragraph styles
    InterfacePtr<ICommand> charParaCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kLoadStyleCmdBoss));
    if (charParaCmd == NULL) break;
    InterfacePtr<IBoolData> cpOverrideLocalStyles(charParaCmd, UseDefaultIID());
    if (cpOverrideLocalStyles == NULL) break;
    cpOverrideLocalStyles->Set(true);
    InterfacePtr<ISysFileData> cpSysFile(charParaCmd, IID_ISYSFILEDATA);
    if (cpSysFile == NULL) break;
    cpSysFile->Set(sourceFileData->GetSysFile());
    InterfacePtr<IIntData> cpLoadOptions(charParaCmd, IID_IINTDATA);
    if (cpLoadOptions == NULL) break;
    cpLoadOptions->Set(ILoadStyleCmdData::kLoadParaCharStyles);
    InterfacePtr<ISelectivelyLoadStyleCmdData> cpLoadStyleCmdInfo(charParaCmd, IID_ISELECTIVELYLOADSTYLECMDDATA);
    if (cpLoadStyleCmdInfo == NULL) break;
    cpLoadStyleCmdInfo->SetGlobalClashResolutionStrategy(StyleClashResolutionTypes::kLoadAllW ithOverwrite);
    UIDList itemList(docp->GetDocWorkSpace());
    charParaCmd->SetItemList(itemList);
    status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(charParaCmd);
} while (false);
Hope it helps.

No option to import GIFT question as pretest

I'm importing a gift file, and it appears to default to "Graded", with no option to change it to Pretest. Not a huge problem with smaller courses but it would be nice to import pretest questions as well. Unless I'm just missing something?

I think the likely reason has to do with where the Pretest questions need to be located (prior to any other quiz questions in the timeline) and the fact that they all need to belong to the same Pretest group.
In any case, I tend to agree that it would have been better (from an instructional designers view) to have more freedom. But we don't build Captivate, only use it.

Importing Quiz Questions

I'm trying to find a way to reuse some questions in my course for inclusion in a Final Quiz, without having to reinput all of the questions.
I made a copy of my course and imported the questions I wanted for my Final Quiz. I didn't think I could use these, as they had the same interaction ID as the questions in my course. Is there a way around having to reinput questions from my course I want to include in a Final Quiz without retyping all and have my scoring work property when reporting to LMS?
Thanks very much.
Susan

Yes, you can change them, just make sure they are unique within the quiz. They are auto generated to keep them from being repeated.
Usually I've seen the quiz import tool create new unique interaction id's for questions. The only time I have seen the interaction ID repeated is if you use the copy/paste function to recreate the quiz slides. However, it has been a while since I used the import quiz tool.
The cat-on-keyboard method is one trick I have seen used to keep the id's random.

So what do you do when you import - a questions for all??

So far I have not had them time to dive into LR 1.1 as I would like to.
Although lately that time has been free'ing up. While I currently do use LR
to import and tag my photos, I have not tried much else except the album
part, but even that has been minimal. I shot mostly in jpeg, but some raw as
well. So my questions to you all, other than just importing as I do, what
else do you do? I mean, do you do auto adjustments as you import? Sometimes,
when I import, I will have 200-600 photos. I know I do not want all of them
and will delete some. And then some, I think I will want to eventually move
into collections to create a digital portfolio of sorts. I know LR is just
in it's beginning stages, but still presents a lot of power.
Secondly to this, do many of you use LR in conjunction with Bridge and PS
CS3 and if so, how do you bring it all together?
I know this could warrant some exhaustive answers, but I think it could be
fun to see what all we do and whatnot and maybe get some ideas from one
another. So let's hear from you!?!?

I don't use any develop preset. I do apply a metadata preset with basic contact and copyright. It also applies a purple label (the only label with no shortcut) which means Rate and Add Metadata. I apply the same keywords as Robert and any others that apply to all photos. I apply the lens and camera tags because folks on flickr appreciate it. Different cameras write lens identity differently so a lens tag is actually easier to use than the MB. After import I'll apply a metadata template for location.
Further use of labels:
none - keep but don't work on further
Red - process
Green - Raw/DNG done
Yellow - full size derivative
Blue - reduced size for web
CR2/CRW files that I process are also flagged as Pick. I export/import a DNG of these to serve as a local backup. The DNG's are not flagged. This allows me see just what I want very easily. I have CR2/CRW files and DNG of the keepers so that I have the native files in case I decide to develop with something that doesn't handle DNG and the DNG's for the possibility that the native Canon files will become obsolete.

Standard Midi File Import/Export Questions

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with Standard MIDI files, in that, after exporting them, and importing them back into another Logic project to test them, some of them will split/demix. That is, instead of one MIDI region appearing, it imports as two MIDI regions, with the notes of the part split between the two regions (the notes seem to split according to velocity, not note value).
Here is my question related to this:
Is it possible to export a Standard MIDI File for each "part" in a project, rather than one SMF for all the MIDI files in a project? (i.e., create one SMF for each software instrument track)? This is what I'm trying to do. The reason is that I'm trying to prepare and save some MIDI files to include with the audio files in a remix pack, and, since it's likely that the various remixers will be using different DAWs such as Cubase, I'm assuming that a SMF that includes all the various parts might not import into their program correctly. Is my assumption wrong? I.E., will most DAWs, like Cubase, etc., correctly import a SMF that includes all parts, and upon import split those parts correctly?
I'm following all the instructions for "Saving Standard MIDI Files" from the Logic Pro manual, except that I am not merging all the different instruments' MIDI regions together; I'm only merging each individual parts' MIDI regions.
Thanks!

Well I think the problem is solved. There was a conflict between Logic and iLife 06. I bought a new computer this week and had to load everything into it. I decided not to put in iLife 06 yet including Garageband and all the jam packs. I loaded all the new .caf files off the Logic DVD
I opened a midi file and all tracks loaded with Logic instruments. the problem was that a lot of the instruments had been erased somehow or over written by Logic studio. Now I believe they are all there and things are working as they should

Import Quality Question

Ok I don't know much about this but,
How much audio quality do you lose when you import from a CD? Also, if the answer is lots, then does iTunes use that lossless audio encoder called apple lossless and if not where can I get and what do I need to use it? kinda 3 questions in one there...

Choose iTunes > Preferences> General pane and click Import Settings.
Choose an encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu.
You can listen to songs encoded in AAC or Apple Lossless formats in iTunes and on iPod models that come with a dock connector. If you plan to listen to your music using a different program or MP3 player, choose MP3 Encoder.
If you want to burn high-quality audio CDs with the songs you’re importing, without losing quality, choose Apple Lossless or AIFF. (Keep in mind that songs imported using this format use much more disc space.)
If you’ll be playing your songs on a computer that does not have MP3 software, choose WAV.
Choose a bit rate from the Setting pop-up menu (not available with Apple Lossless Encoder). In most cases, the default selection works well.
Higher Quality: Choose if you chose MP3 Encoder and plan to create your own audio CDs or listen to your music with high-quality stereo speakers.
High Quality: Choose if you play music in a noisy environment. This setting creates files that are about 1 MB in size per minute of music.
Good Quality: Use to fit more songs on a portable MP3 player with limited storage capacity.
Custom: Choose for greater control over the file size and sound quality.
To choose AIFF and WAV import settings:
Choose iTunes > Preferences>General pane and click Import Settings.
Choose AIFF Encoder or WAV Encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu.
Choose Custom from the Setting pop-up menu.
In the dialog that appears, choose settings:
Sample Rate: The number of times per second the music waveforms are captured digitally. The higher the sample rate, the higher the quality and the larger the file size. Don't choose a sample rate higher than the rate used to store the music originally or you'll waste space. CD quality, for example, is 44.100 kHz, so choosing a higher rate when you're encoding from a CD is unnecessary. In general, the best choice is Auto, which uses the same rate as the original music.
Sample Size: The number of bits used to store each sample taken as the music is encoded. The higher the sample size, the better the quality and the larger the file size.
Channels: If you don't have stereo speakers or if your audio files are monaural (mono files are about half the size of stereo files), choose Mono. If you'll be listening through headphones or a stereo system, choose Stereo or Auto. Auto converts monaural tracks into mono files and stereo tracks into stereo files.

Import: performance question

Hi, what is the different between these statements for application in term of performance?
import java.io.*;
and
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
Which one is faster for execution?

Neither. Search the forums or web for the countless answers to the same question.

Import numbering question

I've recently made the migration from Aperture to Lightroom. I was using a referenced workflow in Aperture so it was easy to simply import my folders into LR2.4. My keywords and metadata even came in without the use of sidecar files. My question is about numbering new imports now that I have my main catalog migrated.
In Aperture I had been renaming files on import to XXX_000000.CR2. I've imported over 15K images already through Aperture this way. Now that I've migrated into LR how can I continue from where my numbering left off? None of the numbering options seem to be the right solution.
Sequence gives me the option to set a starting number but resets to 1 on each import.
Images keeps the running tally I want but no way to set a starting point that I can find.
Import I'm just unclear on.
I've been searching and not finding any real answers. I found a tip for editing a LR file to add additional digits to the length of a sequence number (LR stops at 5 digits by default) So I'm wondering if there's a similar workaround or hack for the image number. To possibly complicate matters I have separated my images out into multiple catalogs and I'd like the numbering to be maintained regardless of which catalog I'm importing to.
Hope I'm not asking too much. For the moment I'm still using Aperture to do my original import to keep the numbering and the adding the new folder of images to LR for processing as my work around.
Any thoughts? TIA
Mike D.

Yes, This helped me!
Thank you so much for figuring this out. I have been trying to figure this out for months. Finally I can control the numbering.
I Shoot an event on several different cards everytime I imported LR3 reset to 001. Made my sequencing a hassle. I had to go into Bridge or PM to rename the images for an event.

Import Song Question

I am running Itunes 6.0.4 and had a question about importing music into ITunes.
There is a setting under the Pref options in Advanced that talks about "Filter Freq. under 10Hz". Does this setting have to be checked? And if not, what does this option really affect? Also, would having this option unchecked be the reason the music I import sound somewhat flat?
I have one other question as well, The option about Error Correction, is this a good option to have checked?
Thanks

If more than one entry is found for the CD (which can occur if more than one person submitted information for the same CD to the Gracenote service), select one of the entries. If it isn’t correct, choose Advanced > Get CD Track Names again and choose the other entry. If it’s still not correct, you can edit the information yourself.

Import Movie Question

I am importing a number of .avi files into iMovie. All is working fine but have a question. When the Import is selected and the Import dialog appears there is a choice: move or copy the import file. I don't seem to see much difference in the choice as selecting either one seems to leave a copy of the .avi source in the iMovie folder structure. I am wondering if this .avi is any different than the source file? In my case these files are huge (30 GB) and I don't need to keep the source if the the file in the iMovie directory is the same as the original.

When the Import is selected and the Import dialog appears there is a choice: move or copy the import file. I don't seem to see much difference in the choice as selecting either one seems to leave a copy of the .avi source in the iMovie folder structure.
If working properly, the "Move" option should copy the source file to an Event in iMovie and then delete the original file. The "Copy" option, on the other hand, is supposed to copy the source file to the iMovie Event and also leave the original source file undisturbed.
I am wondering if this .avi is any different than the source file?
AVI actually refers to the file container and the manner in which the audio and video tracks are synchronized by the interleaving of data frames -- i.e., like the way cogs of different sized wheels are meshed together so that if one wheel turns faster, the other will also speed up preventing one from overrunning the other. As long as the original data compression formats are compatible with iMovie '08, then files can be imported at the File level. This import does not change or re-compress the data in any way as in the case of "Import from Camera..." operations in which incompatible camcorder compression formats must be re-compressed and modified so as to be "edit" compatible at the frame level in iMovie '08.
