Import weirdness and import dialog box

I'm in the import box and I want to import just the RAW (DNG) files from a folder and not the accompanying JPEGs. First strange thing I notice is that Aperture is telling me that the JPEG files are roughly the same size as the RAw files. I thought I could sort the list by file size, knowing that the RAw files would all be bigger than the JPEGs. Wrong. Aperture is giving me bogus file sizes for the JPEGs. I went to the Finder to double check and, surely enough, the average JPEG file size is about 2.5 megabytes. Aperture has got them listed, on averages, as 15 megabyte files. So I cannot sort by file size.
So, I go down to the sort drop-down menu at the bottom of the Import box and I can only sort by File Name, File Size, or Image Date; the Custom is greyed out. How do I access the "Custom" sort feature in the Import Dialog box? And why is Aperture giving me bogus file sizes for my JPEGs?
Aperture is in sore need of a real update.

jrg_uk has the answer. The list view is often ignored, or just plain forgotten!

Any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes?

Is there any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes, instead of just lists of items names?
I know you can preview one at a time, but I'd love to see all my artwork as picture icons, just as you can in a finder window.
Windows does this, but not OSX that I know of. Is there a third party app that enables you to see icon view in the Open and Close Dialogs?

Thank you Steve Jobs. I guess that feature has been added in Leopard. Now there really is nothing that I'll miss from Windoze.

Open and Save dialog boxes are sorted reverse alpahbetically by default

I have a user that experiences the same frustrating experience every time she restarts Apple Mail. All of her open and save dialog boxes in Mail are sorted from Z to A. She can click the name field to change the sort, but it will return to Z-A if she quits and reopens the program. The Finder is set (and stays) at A-Z. Other applications do not exhibit this problem. I am loathe to reset the preferences since that means having to set up accounts again. Restarting the computer and removing user caches made no difference. Any suggestions? This is an iMac Mid 2008 running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I solved my own question through trial and error.
Just select "None" on the dropdown selector (see screen capture, above) and the Open/Save dialog will revert to the older version.

CS5 slow to get the 'open' and 'save' dialog box over networked computer.

I have been having this problem since the suite was installed, but recently has gotten much slower. Any time I click open or save it takes 8-10 seconds just for the dialog box to come up. CS1 was lightening fast - I know that was ages ago, but I can't help compare the two. I have the same problem with InDesign and Illustrator. The suite is running on a Windows 7 machine through a home network, accessing files from an XP machine as well as a Buffalo Linkstation. Once the dialog box comes up, and I double click, the file is pretty quick to appear. I have researched online and I believe the problem to be somewhere in the network or the settings. The network is quick, Windows Explorer has no delay in opening or finding files, nor do other programs outside of Creative Suite. I did an experiment to narrow down the problem - I closed Photoshop, unplugged the network cable, and reopened the program. AMAZING - it was SO FAST to open the dialog box for both opening and saving files! I then closed Photoshop again, plugged the network cable back in, and opened Photoshop. It was back to the slow opening of the dialog box. Everything else in the programs runs fine - no delay when performing operations in any of the Creative Suite - it has to do with the network and how CS is looking for the files. Can anyone help me, I am so frustrated - this is adding unnecessary time to everything I do and I dread opening and saving any files!!

Once again - thank you!
We used to have a network storage device attached to our home network, but it crashed and we replaced it with another model. A while back I had added it as an item to display in the places bar. When we removed it from the network, the link on the left side disapeared, so I forgot all about it. When I read your posting it jogged my memory. I searched the subject to remember how I had made the change and found this posting from Adobe Community: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/795196 (its in #6). I found the original storage device in the places bar, removed it and replaced it with the new device. I opened Photoshop and Acrobat and both open and save dialog boxes appear as they should - the problem has been resolved! THANK YOU!

Open and Save Dialog Box Font Size

Greetings. Does anyone know how to change the font and icon sizes in Open and Save Dialog boxes in OSX 10.8? Back in Snow Leopard days, the parameters were stored in the users .GlobalPreferences.plist. But they do not appear to be there - or at least I don't recognize them in OSX 10.8. I recently started using a 27 inch Cinema Display, and the fonts are a bit small for me.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Good question! Do submit feedback to Apple. Maybe if enough of us complain about this fundamental issue, they'll finally listen!

Open and save dialog boxes just show earlier and can't be sorted

Mountail Lion has new open and save dialog boxes that are displayed in groupings by date and other variables.
My Photoshop CS5 shows "Previous 7 days", "Earlier", etc. I can no longer adjust this sorting. Often, just the "Earlier" shows and current files are missing from the box. I used the sorting option but can't sort within the list.
My inDesign files still use the earlier open and save dialog box. Where can I switch between these options?
Photoshop Open:
inDesign Open:

Just select "None" on the dropdown selector (see screen capture, above) and the Open/Save dialog will revert to the older version.

KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites and print dialog box

Let's try this again. I have been asking the following question of Microsoft and every time I do, I have only been told to try another forum.
I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes. I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend (10/18/2014) which also installed the Security Update KB2909210
and rebooted the server. On Monday morning (10/20/2014), when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning. All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks. Some fields which normally have a small "x"
on the right-hand side used to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks. The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users. The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it
began interfering with productivity. I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing. I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
the print dialog box remained jumbled.
All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine. The sites display properly and process quickly, and the print dialog box is not jumbled. It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client
to their profiles on the server and use the IE version installed on the server who have the problem with IE10. The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day. This morning (10/21/2014) the
intranet sites are working fine through IE 9. I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as IE9 gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11, on any of our machines, to be too buggy.
How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites and print dialog box? What is so different about Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that IE 10 causes this corruption of intranet sites and the print dialog
box on the Server but not on the Win 7 machines?
The bulletin here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-011
is useless for determining why it breaks my intranet sites. Nor does it explain why the update destroys the print dialog box.

Hi,
In my opinion, it's hard to say your problem caused by KB2909210. Have you tried to uninstall this update for test if your intrant site's problem resolved?
If your problem truthfuly caused by this updates, you can choose to hid the update as a workaround method.

Set location of print and export dialog boxes?

Is there any way to set the location of the print and export dialog boxes in the viewer?
To say, have the dialog box show up in the top left corner instead of in the middle of the document?

There's no easy way to customize that for the viewer.
Some people make the toolbar invisible and write their own controls.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Find and Replace dialog box issue

When I am in split mode, I get the Find and Replace dialog
box up "Edit -> Find and Replace..." When I run a "Find and
Replace" clicking the "Find All" the dialog box disapears and I
have the Results checked in the Windows menu. When I go down to the
little green arrow to bring back my dialog box - the Find and
Replace text areas are clear and I have to re-paste the items into
it to do the "Replace All" - this is much more time consuming. Why
does my Find and Replace dialog box disapear and why does it lose
the last "Find All" texts?

That would be the password for your FTP server. You can only get this from your web hosting company. You should contact your web hosting company and ask them for your FTP Publishing details.
Then select your web site name at the top of the list of web pages in iWeb. You'll see input fieldd for your FTP details. Enter what you get from your web hosting provider in those fields.

Differ between import manager and import server

Hi to all,
Can any one explain difference between import server and import manager and how the data will be imported to the same.
Regards
MM

Hi reddy,
Can any one explain difference between import server and import manager and how the data will be imported to the same
Please follow the text below, which has been taken from the help.sap.com
Both MDIS and the MDM Import Manager can import data from a source file into an MDM repository. However, each has unique capabilities that distinguish it from the other. When each is used to its advantage, the result is an import strategy which provides the most efficient importing of data possible.
The strength of the Import Manager is its connection to the source data, which enables its interactive map-making capabilities. When the Import Manager connects to a source it preloads the entire source file, giving it knowledge of every field and every value in the source data. This u201Ctotal awarenessu201D is crucial for preparing a complete import map. To help ensure a map is complete, the Import Manageru2019s Import Status tab alerts users to any discrepancies between source data values and the current map. The user can fix these problems interactively within the Import Manager and save the corrected map before any data is imported.
Preloading an entire source file comes at a price, however. It consumes memory on the computer running the Import Manager and very large source files may exhaust the computeru2019s available memory.
By contrast, MDISu2019s strengths are its scalability and automation.
For scalability, instead of preloading the entire source file into the host machineu2019s memory as the Import Manager does, MDIS processes records in a stream by loading a record at a time into memory.
This streaming technique enables MDIS to process much larger source files than the Import Manager, as the demand for memory on the host machine is not affected by the size of the import file.
In addition to file size, file quantity poses a second scalability challenge. For example, a real-time transactional environment may produce a staggering number of files, each containing only one or two records. To import these files individually through Import Manager would be extremely inefficient. MDIS tackles this problem with a file aggregation feature that processes files systematically in batches rather than as individual files, resulting in faster, more efficient import of data.
As it relates to automation, MDIS requires no user intervention to import files to an MDM repository. Instead, it relies on maps created previously within the Import Manager. Once an import file is placed in the appropriate folder, its data is imported automatically into the MDM repository using the rules of the pre-defined import map. Once a file is processed, MDIS scans the repository for the next file to import. This process continues 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until either MDIS or MDM Server are stopped.
The trade-off for this scalability and automation is that if discrepancies between the source data and the import map arise, MDIS cannot u201Cfixu201D these problems by itself. Instead, the u201Cproblem casesu201D can be fixed manually at a later time using the interactive capabilities of the Import Manager. Unlike the Import Manager, however, MDIS can set aside problem records or files and continue importing.
These conceptual and operational differences between the Import Manager and MDIS are summarized in the table below.

How do I suppress messages/loading bars from Import-Module and Import-PSSession?

Hello,
How do I suppress messages/loading bars from Import-Module and Import-PSSession?
I am writing a script that will be using these commands and it makes the script look clunky/scary to novice users.
Thank you for your time.

Sorry to bring this back up, but it seems that the ProgressPreference worked for Exchange, but it didn't affect the Active Directory progress bar. Any ideas why?
Strange, this worked just fine for me (no module loading indication):
PS C:\Users\mike.admin> $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
PS C:\Users\mike.admin> Get-ADUser mike.admin | Select Name
Name
mike.admin
Don't retire TechNet! -
(Don't give up yet - 12,950+ strong and growing)
I do run the Import-Module command inside a function, but I doubt that would do it because I assume the preference is set scriptwide.
This will work anywhere.
$global:ProgressPreference='SilentlyContinue'
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IPhoto 4 importing duplicate photos without dialog box opening

I often import pictures from my Canon PowerShot SD550 to more than one computer. I do not use iPhoto to delete photos after importing. Occasionally I need to import more recent photos to one computer before I have the opportunity to import older photos to the other computer which is at another location. I used to get a dialog box on this computer asking me if I want to import duplicate photos. I must have accidentally checked the wrong box once because iPhoto now imports all photos every time without the dialog box. How can I regain control to not import duplicates?

It's just me … restating my question. My original wording was not as clear as I thought!

My "Open" and "Save" dialog boxes in Logic Pro...

Hi,
Wondering if you've have had this issue. My Open / Save as well as any Import dialog boxes in Logic Pro have oddly spaced columns. I resize them accordingly (I prefer Column view BTW), get them looking right by holding the "Option" key while resizing to have all columns the same width...you know, the same procedure you'd use in the finder.
Anyway, each time a dialog box appears my "Sidebar" column along the left-hand side is like 5 inches wide, and each column to the right of that is very narrow despite my setting it up the way I'd like it to look during the previous Open/Save/Import.
Is there a preference for this that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.
-dave
P.S. I'm running Logic Pro 9.1.5 in 64bit mode (32bit mode also exhibits the same behavior). I'm running OSX Lion, 10.7.2

I posted a similar post regarding this observation. It appears that only you and I are the only ones getting this behavior from Logic and Lion. In all honesty, I don't think anybody cares or no one installed Lion for use with Logic yet. In either case, it has been widely ignored.
I too tried resizing, but get the same result every time. Its not just open and save windows, its the same with all windows. This gets especially annoying when ad ding samples to EXS24. Some people have different work arounds for adding samples to most things, such as the browser side window. Regardless of any workaround, nothing solves the remaining window space problem. This window bug is something that should not exist within Logic. It makes Logic look like freeware.
For many, Logic Pro X might be the ultimatum. It might be time to jump ship.
