Imports: Whither goest thou?

My imports seem to run wild through the woods. Looking at the choices in the Import Pane (right side) the options seem overly restricted, meager.
I want to funnel my imported image to Project of my choice, with a name I choose. Sometimes I click (in the Inspector Pane) on an existing Project in the hope the new imports will be added.
Am I kidding myself. Why do my Imports acquire names I haven't chosen, and get put in places I didn't select? Maddening.

You can also right-click a Project name on the Library Inspector, and select "Import".  This opens the Import dialog with the right-clicked Project loaded in the Destination field of the Aperture Library section.

Go slowly.  Aperture leverages a lot of power behind simple commands.
You might consider a different structure for your Library.  I suggest keeping all your shoots together ("One Shoot" = one Project" is the best, simplest set-up for any Library, IME), and using Folders and Albums for what we generally refer to as "projects" outside of Aperture.  Make a top-level Folder for Shoots, and import each shoot into a single Project.  Then create a Folder for a real-world project (Lighthouses of the Great Lakes), and use Albums and Folders to organize that real-world project:
Superior (Folder)
     Western shore (Album)
     Eastern shore (Album)
Eire (Folder)
     Canadian shore (Album)
     US shore (Album)
Etc. and whatever.
The mis-naming of "Project" is, imho, the single worst interface mistake in Aperture.

  • TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • I take photos in B/V and den whith importing to Aperture , they is in color . What to do

    I take photos in B/W and then whith importing in Aperture , it is in color ??????

    Are you importing your images as raw images?
    The Black&White mode probably is done in your camera by software - post procressing of the raw. If you import raw images and not jpegs, you will import the original image, as recorded by the sensor. This naturally does not show any of the in-camera effects later.
    You can use the "Black&White" adjustment in Aperture's "Adjustment" tab to turn your images into Black and White images. Actually it is preferrable, that your images are in RGB mode and not Black&White. Aperture does not support greyscale images very well. It would be impossible to brush color in, for example, once the B&W is burned into the image.

  • Import video whith a different background

    Hello.
    I import a video which represents a character, but this video has a black background, whereas my after effect composition has a white background.
    How can i do to cut up around the character to put transparent (or white) the black background of my imported video ? 
    Thank you,
    Baptiste.

    You can remove the black backround using a variety of methods. A few ways you can explore are, Keylight, Luma Key, Transfer Modes, rotoscoping, or if you have CS5, use the roto brush. Type any of those words that are bolded into the community search, and see what comes up!

  • Stubborn Regkey will not import even thou task says success.

    If I copy the exact key from the task sequence into a cmd window and run it it works fine. I am trying to deploy this on Windows 7 x64 systems. if that makes a difference. I have tried enabling and disabling windows x64 redirection in the task sequence.
    The regkey doesn't import either way.

    Unfortunately the problem was my own stupidity I had a condition on the step that was false so the whole reg add step was skipped.
    That what happens when you cut and paste steps from other TS's and don't check them thoroughly.
    Thank you for all you suggestions.

  • Error importing SAP Transports for BO XI 3.1 SAP integration

    Hello,
    The basis guys setup a clean sap installation on basis v7.0 for me and i managed to import all 5 of the unicode compliant versions of the transports perfectly.
    Through the client tools and crystal reports i can access all our custom tables.
    However as it was a clean install there is no data. I therefore tried to import the same transports into our dev system. This is on basis version 6.4.
    Again i copied the co and data files across and tried to import the transports.
    Im getting an error at the 'error in Import ABAP Dictionary Objects' phase for transport K900531.R21. It manges to import into the first 20 objects, then this error is raised???
    Start import R3TRTABLZSSAUTHREF ...

    Many thanks
    C.

    Hi,
    Yes - this is the first transport in the series - the Open SQL one. In fact today i downloaded the 3.1 installer as the transports i tried were 3.0 ones.
    I still get the same error at that particular object with these newer transports. I even tried teh Ansi transport even thou our system is above Basis 6.2 and it failed at the same point.
    I feel their must be a problem with that object in our system.
    I just wondered if others had problems importing those transports?
    Thanks

  • Only a type can be imported. package.Class resolves to a package

    Hi,
    I made a class for database connection named ConnectionClass.class.
    The JSPs in public_html directory working fine with import and session variables.

    Hello,
    It's a possible issue whith the JDT compiler version of your tomcat distribution.
    You know that jasper is the engine that transform jsp to classes and to achive this goal uses a jdt compiler or the ant task javac compiler.
    First check that the JDT compiler class is present in the trace of the exception you have.
    If this is the case follow the steps of the tomcat documentation in order to use the ant compiler.
    http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jasper-howto.html
    Apache Ant, which was used in previous Tomcat releases, can be used instead instead of the new compiler by simply removing the common/lib/jasper-compiler-jdt.jar file, and placing the ant.jar file from the latest Ant distribution in the common/lib folder. If you do this, you also need to use the "javac" argument to catalina.sh.
    If you check the code of the tomcat compilation context seems that you can do the same, without removing any file, by setting the compile parameter of the JspServlet to an arbitrary value diferent from null.
    Try this other alternative by editing the file %TOMCAT_HOME%\conf\web.xml
    and set the compiler attribute as follow
        <servlet>
            <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
            <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
            <init-param>
                <param-name>fork</param-name>
                <param-value>false</param-value>
            </init-param>
            <init-param>
                <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name>
                <param-value>false</param-value>
            </init-param>
            <init-param>
                <param-name>compiler</param-name>
                <param-value>Ant</param-value>
            </init-param>
            <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>If this works for your problem we can check the jdt code and perhaps make a patch.

  • IMovie freezes when importing AVCHD from Canon HF20

    I've recently bought a *Canon HF20 AVCHD* Full HD camcorder, and am having a hard time importing the footage through iMovie '09. Here's exactly what happens:
    1. I connect the USB to the back port of the iMac. The camera indicates a flashing USB symbol and nothing else happens. It doesn't mount the camera drive and iMovie doesn't detect the camera.
    2. OK, so I connect the USB to a powered USB hub and it displays the correct message on the camera, mounts the camera drive and iMovie detects the camera is connected correctly.
    3. I tell iMovie to import the footage. After a while, the estimated time left begins to increase up to hours long, and the progress bar eventually stops, and iMovie freezes, whith the colored spinning wheel as the cursor.
    Each time I try to import the footage, iMovie freezes at different points.
    Does anyone else have this problem importing AVCHD footage into iMovie '09 ?
    Thanks in advance,
    João Faraco

    Well, judging from the deafening response, posting this question here is pretty useless.

  • Import Lightswitch 2013 app via IIS/Deploy wizard - fails on SQL generation - HTML client.

    I've been struggeling with this for sometime now. And keep getting "An error occured during the execution of the database script..........The error occured between the following lines of the script "5963" and "5982"....DECLARE @currentUser
    nvarchar(128)"
    The scenario is that this is a server with no internet connection. So I had to go through webpicmd.exe on a laptop downloaded all the necessary file whith VSLS4NOSQL. Memorystick to server and then installed the prereqs.
    The database server is set to Windows Auth. only and I am not allowed to set this to mixed mode. I had set up the application with ad authentication, then forms and now nothing just to test. I still keep getting the same ******* error.
    I have also tested it in a dev environment but same message here.
    The db gets created on the SQL server, but thats about it. Paul van Bladel mentioned something about running the script directly on the SQL server, but it keeps popping up with even more errors. If someome could please give me the babysteps on how to perform
    an installation by importing a LS application and getting it up an running I would be very thankful (what I have found of information so far, doesn't help me much)

    Please somebody must have experience the same thing as me here??
    Here are the steps I've been doing so far
    1. I create a new website in IIS (and create a new folder for my LS webapplication under inetpub)
    2. Website gets created, I then under Deploy, chose import application, browse to the zip file, and then chose next.
    3.Leave everything checked under Package contains...
    4. Enter conncetion string, with name of SQL Server and DBname, under credentials I set it to Use Windows Integrated Security (the other options keeps failing on me)
    5. Enter the name of the databaseserver again, and same with DBName
    6. Under DBUserName I enter the credentials for a user I created on the SQL Server with SQL Server authentication as I can't seem to use Windows Auth. here.
    7. Enter the application path (I set it here to the folder I created under inetpub).
    8. The Package starts to deploy, everything seems fine. But it comes up with a warning "Cannot connect to the database 'databasename'
    9. In IIS I then go to Basic Settings and edit the Physical path to C:\inetpub\path\HTMLClient, I have also edited the hostfile.
    10. I start the website and browse to it, the page loads, but with a nice fat red line saying
    Request failed with status code 0 and status text ".
    11. In Edit Site-->Connect as --> It is set to Application user, and the AppPool for the application is set to ApplicationPoolIdentity.
    12. As for now I have set no authentication in the LS app I made, but I would when I get this to work set it to Forms Based or Windows/AD auth for users in the domain.

  • Color profile when Importing D200 NEF

    Hi there,
    I'm a new user for Apple Aperture. I noticed all the NEFs imported from my also new D200 have Adobe Profile as color profile even thou I have set in D200 as sRGB. I have also set the camera to output RAW plus large JPEG. The JPEG file does say sRGB but the NEF says Adobe RGB.
    Thanks in advance.

    A raw image itself doesn't have a colour profile. What it does have is a 'hint' as to what colour profile should be used when creating an image from it.
    In Aperture's case, it uses an internal representation that is large enough to hold all the other possible colour ranges, and then you get to pick which one is used when you export the image to another format (TIFF, JPEG, etc).

  • Importing Preferences - parser problem

    Hi,
    I try to import some Preferences from an XML file.
    At the following statement,
    systemPrefs.importPreferences(xmlInputStream);
    the following exception is thrown:
    java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.crimson.tree.Doctype
    My first idea was some conflict whith other packages from my huge classpath. So I emptied it, but still the same exception was thrown.
    I have installed j2sdk1.4.0 and j2sdkee.1.3.1.
    I found that the Apache Crimson packages are within j2ee.jar. My suggestion is a conflict between the parser that ship with Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Robbert Dam

    If you are having such a problem, the best thing to do is to reference the class directly.
    For example:
    org.apache.crimson.tree.Doctype doc=(org.apache.crimson.tree.Doctype)o;
    A casting exception means that you are trying to convert an object not inheriting from the casting class to it. This result in a ClasCastException at runtime.
    Here is a link on how preferences can be imported: http://www.geocities.com/shurel_reynolds/how-to/java/index.htm

    Are those error messages the newest messages in the log? From what you've said so far it sounds like your ApEx installation works except for this import operation. Is that true?

  • FYI - Importing Translated XML (XLIFF) into Captivate 5

    I just want to make a point about an issue I've come across when translating a Captivate 5 project.
    On exporting to XML - which is actually a mono-lingual XLIFF format in reality, this is where the problems start.
    A true XLIFF file contains both source and target tags which is what happened to me when I used the file in a translation application.
    On importing back into Captivate I couldn't see my translated text - the file was converted to a true XLIFF format (source and target tags).
    So even thou the target had my translations Captivate was only concerned with the source tags!
    I had to write a batch script then to change around the source/target tag content.
    Hopefully this will help someone who's come across this in the future.
    I think Adobe should include a target tag identifier on importing so the user can choose the language they want to import back in.
    It just seems strange having translations inside a <source> </source> tag!
    My 2 cents anyway,
    Keith

    Hi everyone.
    Is there any update and support in Adobe Captivate 8 of  XLIFF 2.0 ?
    I have to write an interactive tutorial that I want to be able to offer for localization while updating the software itself.
    That means I am looking for language updates. To volunteer translators I don't want to offer full re-writes of PO or XML files.
    Please advice.
