Improve Auto-Stack and Process Collections with user settings

I have read through all of the Bridge request discussions, and encountered a few comments on the stacking process but nothing to explain my critique and feature request. My apologies for any redundancy.
Bridge CS4 includes two features that would (virtually) streamline my entire photo-organization workflow. Brilliant! Except that they offer zero configuration and my default scenario is very different from Adobe's, so these two would-be-wonderful features are pretty much useless to me, and to anybody else who doesn't happen to shoot in the way the presets are configured.
The first feature is to automatically group images into stacks, based on their similarity, exposure settings, and timestamps. Unfortunately Bridge considers no minimum or maximum amount of photos per stack, and has a fixed timestamp window of 18 seconds. I shoot everything in three-exposure bursts and sometimes multiple shots in less than 18 seconds, so being able to say "process collections in 3-item stacks only" would be absolutely perfect. For other people, being able to limit the timestamp range or other min/max exposure options would work great.
The second feature, which could save me hours every week but is equally useless, is to automatically process collections in Photoshop. My biggest ire about this function is that it completely ignores stacks that I have manually created AND stacks that were previously created using the auto-stack feature. Every time this function is run, it re-runs the auto-stack process from scratch and then delivers the collections to Photoshop. Not only is this made useless by the previously mentioned inflexibility of the auto-stack process, but even if auto-stack worked perfectly, this would waste time by doing the entire thing again and denying the user the option to review the stacks before committing to the Photoshop processing. The process collections feature would also be much improved if the option were given to process ONLY panoramas or HDR photos, or auto-detect. I have never shot a panorama in my life and I'm sure plenty of people have never shot HDR, but Photoshop isn't capable of knowing our intentions and there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to instruct it.

Agree. It is an interesting capability that falls short of being really useful. I feel like an ingrate to complain, but ...
I'd also like to see the capability to specify something than "Auto" for the panorama option. My experience is that most of my panos work best with "Cylindrical + Geometric Correction".
My experience is that once you get past 5+ images in a pano, it becomes very tedious ... and then 20+ images in rows is painful. Unlike a single image that you can quickly evaluate, with panos I find I need to make the pano to tell if it going to turn out. I have been generating smaller 1800x1200 or 1200x1800 files to speed up the evaluation process, but it is still very manual and tedious.
The Auto-Stack generates a AutoCollectionCache.xml, but I haven't found it workable to edit this. I'd like to be able to modify it to "force" my knowledge of what is in a group. It seems to check the time-stamp, and re-do the Auto-Stack, thus ignoring my changes. Sigh.

Assignments to collection with user groups seems to be failing

We have a collection with users and a collection with groups. We assign a simple application to a collection with users, that seems to be fine, we can see the app in the application catalog. We then assign the same app to a collection with just a security
group in the collection, the members of that security group cannot see the app in the application catalog.
I am trying to trace what the server does when a the request user policy comes in, to see if there is a disconnect between the assignments and the members of the group.
Any ideas how to debug/troubleshoot this issue?

Hi,
Some troubleshooting tips for client communication to the Application Catalog:
Ensure that the Configuration Manager client is successfully assigned to a site and operational by checking LocationServices.log and ClientIDManagerStartup.log.
Verify that the client can communicate with the management point. For example, check out any HTTP errors in the CcmMessaging.log file.
Check the LocationServices.log file for any errors during the time you browsed to the Application Catalog. One typical reason for Application Catalog failures in this log is client communication failures to the management point, indicated by the following
error: “Failed to send web service info Location Request Message.” In this case, verify that the management point is operational and reachable from the client computer.
If you have recently installed the Application Catalog roles, the configuration on the site system server might take some time to complete. If you have a central administration site, make sure that sites are replicating successfully. In this scenario, information
about the Application Catalog roles must replicate to the central administration site and then back to the primary site before the Application Catalog is fully operational. For example, until the replication is complete, users will not be able to request or
install applications from the Application Catalog.
Ensure that the domain and user name that is displayed in the top right corner of the Application Catalog matches the user that is logged in to Windows, especially if Internet Explorer prompts the user for credentials.
Ensure that any required Internet Explorer plugins are enabled and not explicitly blocked in Internet Explorer. For more information, see
Prerequisites for Client Deployment in Configuration Manager on TechNet.
If you have configured client settings to add the URL to the trusted sites and the URL is not added to the trusted sites zone, check whether the client successfully downloads client policy and also check group policy settings in your environment to ensure
that the Configuration Manager client can add the URL to the trusted sites zone.
If the Application Catalog shows an error page, the error will also be displayed in the ConfigMgrSoftwareCatalog.log. You can find the log file by searching the user profile folder. For example, in Windows 7, you can find the log file inside the following
folder:
%systemdrive%\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Silverlight

Transport roles and analysis authorization with user assigned

Hi expert,
I face with this problem transport roles and analysis authorization with user assigned. When I have created a transport request to move the roles and analysis authorization from development system to test system. I couldnu2019t maintain the user assigned, after transport I have to assigned manually all of user or create a program to fill AGR_USER table or there are other way.
Thanks for your time,
Luis

Hi,
In role administration, you have the following options for transporting roles:
You can download the roles from one system and upload them into another
You can import the role from a remote system using RFC
You can transport the roles with the transport function.
Role upload loads all role data, including authorization data from a file into the SAP system. The user assignments for the role and the generated profiles for the role are exceptions in this case.
Transporting Roles with the Role Transport Function
       1.      Start the role administration function by choosing Tools ® Administration ® User Maintenance ® Role Administration ® Roles (transaction PFCG).
       2.      Enter the role to be transported and choose Transport Role.
The Mass Transport of Roles screen appears. You can control the default settings for the options Also transport single roles for composite roles and Also transport generated profiles for roles using Customizing switches (see Role Administration Functions in the section Functions of the Utilities Menu).
You should not change the authorizations profiles of the role after you have included the role in a transport request. If you need to change the profiles or generate them for the first time, transport the entire role again afterwards.

SCCM 2012 Query to populate collection with users of 3 similar characters

Hi,
I'm trying to create a query to populate a collection for my QA users. I have 5 QA users and about 10,000 users on the domain. Those users are inside a "TQA" group so I just need to know a way to create a dynamic collection that will be populated
automatically with this TQA users and because of more people will be joining the ranks of QA testing the collection will help to mitigate maintenance.
At the moment we have a query that doesn't works at all so I had to manually update my collections every time we test a product. My query code does not seems to populate with the info I need.
This is the code:
select SMS_R_USER.ResourceID,SMS_R_USER.ResourceType,SMS_R_USER.Name,SMS_R_USER.UniqueUserName,SMS_R_USER.WindowsNTDomain from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName = "TQA%" order by SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName
Any thoughts ?
Kind Regards.

If you're using % in the value field the operator must be "Like" . In your case, the query should look like
select SMS_R_USER.ResourceID,SMS_R_USER.ResourceType,SMS_R_USER.Name,SMS_R_USER.UniqueUserName,SMS_R_USER.WindowsNTDomain from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName Like
"TQA%" order by SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName

Is it possible to create and process PO with the line without value?

Hi,
I am wondering whether is it possible to create and process the PO with the lines without the value?
I was thinking that this process would allow me to better track and understand the pallets which arrive to the site so I have set up the pallet as a material but systems doesn't allow me to order the line (pallet) without value?
Or maybe there is other way which will allow me to track the pallets within the system?
Many thanks,
Sylwia

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X

You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

Formatting a date according with user settings (user defaults)

Hi All,
I need to format a date I receive via JS in YYYYMMDD format according with user defaults <b>without</b> server side action (I know, this is not a good issue, but they want it).
My solution is to write a JS function (there are a lot of it on WWW) which accepts two strings and formats the first according to the second, something like:
userFormattedDate = formatDate('20060613','DD.MM.YYYY');
paying attention to generate 'DD.MM.YYYY' string on server side, according to user settings.
But if this isn't a weblog, where is the question? :-D
The question is: is there a JS function (in DatePicker or dateNavigator BSP) provided by standard libraries which serves similar functionality?
Does exist a JS public standard library?
Thanks.

What is the best solution when dealing with user settings

We have a webapp, when a user logs in, all the user en application settings are read (only once) from the database and stored in a session bean (for quick access).
But when some application setting is changed, I want to tell all the session beans that they need to reload the settings.
Is there a good solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

There are several ways to do this:
1) Put a timestamp on the application settings tables whenever they are changed. At the beginning of each request, send a small query just for this timestamp and compare it to a timestamp for when the session was created. If it is newer then the session then force a full refresh of the session data, otherwise keep using pre-loaded session data. This keeps normal operation quick since the SQL needed for the intial test is simple and quick, but will get the user the new information they need when they need it.
2) Collect your sessions into an external collection stored inside application scope. Have a trigger that when the application settings change, the session objects are iterated through and updated. This way the settings may be updated without the user making a request - and the updates may be time-invisible to the user. But you could get into situations where you are updating settings at the same time you are reading settings, so you will need to synchronize your access.
3) Don't put application settings in the session. The session should be for user settings only. The application scope (Servlet Context) should be used to store the application settings. As such, when application level changes to the DB are made, the application-level object is reloaded. You only have one copy in memory, it updates just once, no need to iterate through sessions, and users who use the application settings are using the most recent copy.

LR 1.3.1 auto stacks photos when editing with Photoshop

Hi,
No matter what I do I can't stop Lightroom 1.3.1 from automatically importanting the TIFF I creat when I perform a "edit with Photoshp CS3" on any of my RAW files. This never used to be a problem the auto update updated my Lightroom to the latest release a couple months ago. This sounds like a regression bug to me. I searched the forum before I submitted this, but I don't see anybody else with this issue.
Mike

When I export to Photoshop, then save, I have a PSD file stacked with my raw file. But when I am in Library, filtering my collection by the Metadata Browser by Date (for one specific day), and then I select by star rating, I have these two separate images, that won't "stack" together. And all the stacking commands are greyed out. Only when I am viewing my thousands of images (un "filtered") do the stacking commands seem to work. I can't find anything about this in the help. I only want to see the #1 image from each stack!
Thanks.

I like to think of the cell comments like post-it notes. If you use them sparingly, they're very useful. If you use them all the time (or use comments in every cell) it's unlikely that they will be as effective.
With regards attaching a document, I think the same can be said.
With regards supporting detail, it always strikes me that if you need more detail within a given cell, that the system should be accommodating this through component child members, rather than a mix of some cells containing supporting detail and others not. I understand that it's quite nice functionality to have though, and looks good when demo'ing.
I think the main take away from this is that every time you show the comments etc to people the first question you get is "Can you report all the comments for a given time period?" and the answer is of course unfortunately "Not easily using a supported method".
Just my thoughts...

Auto-update and Specific version with OBJECT...CLASSID=...

We're deploying an applet, and want to be sure to use a specific version of the JRE. So far we've been using 1.4.2 without problems, and now its time to support 1.5.0 (5.0).
We intend to do this with <object classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-0000-ABCDEFFEDCBA">....
as outlined in:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html
The 1.5.0 control panel (for Windows) also includes an "Update" pane where java will be auto updated, if a newer version is found. (The 1.4.2 version apparently also contained that, but I was never updated to 1.5.0....)
What will the "Java Update mechanism" do when a 1.5.1 version is released at some point? Will the installed 1.5.0 version automatically be replaced by the new 1.5.1 version, so the <object classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-0000-ABCDEFFEDCBA"> gets broken? Or will 1.5.1 be installed in addition to 1.5.0, so our applet tags still work? Or will the "Java Update mechanism" only install newer updates to 1.5.0 (e.g. 1.5.0_03)?
Naturally, our tech support won't be thrilled to get calls from every single customer complaining that the 1.5.0 JRE can't be found immediately after Sun releases 1.5.1... :-D
I'm assuming that once installed, 1.5.0 will never be "auto-removed" due to "Java Update mechanism". Is this a correct assumption?
Thanks for reading this far,

Want to build an auto charging and discharging system with DAQ

Hi. I'm a freshman here. Now I have the DAQ-6009 and a labview software and some electronic elements. I wish to build a lithium ion battery cycles testing system (mainly for auto-switching) in order to observe the changes in the electrode. How can I build this charging and discharging system? The details of the battery are attached. Thank you!!

sanyo ml414 charging detaiils.pdf ‏75 KB

Hi freshman,
your spec sheet already mentions some resistors for loading and discharging your Li cell.
- With your USB6009 you can drive some transistors to switch between charging and discharging. You also have some AIs (analog inputs) to measure Li cell voltage as well as currents (when using some reasonable shunt resistors).
- Make an electronics sketch, read the manual of your USB6009 for it's specs and then grab your breadboard to build your electronics.
- Look at the examples coming with LabVIEW on how to switch DO signals and how to measure voltages (read the manual on that topics too!)
