IPhoto 08 - embed images vs tracking

Hi,
Looking for some help in managing my iPhoto, specifically I want the library to track rather than copy (or duplicate) all images. I have unchecked the "Copy items to the iPhoto Library" button and this has worked well up to the point were I imported some images from a folder on my desktop which I later moved into a nested folder. Somewhere in this process the images seem to have copied into iphoto as the folder has gone from 250mb to 1.5gb. I would just delete and re-import everything or delete from the nested folder but I can't tell which images are just tracked and which are copied. I have also tagged all the photos and don't really want to start again if i don't have to.
I am on a Mac Air so disk space is crucial - does anyone know how to fix this problem and also if iLife 09 treats this issue any differently?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This is called using a Referenced Library, and I very strongly caution against it.
When you uncheck the ‘Copy Images on Import...’ option iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Your decision obviously, but running your Library from an external disk is a much safer option.
Regards
TD

IDVD Images Per Track

I am a rookie DVD author but have studied hard and can do a pretty good job of creating a DVD.
My question is "How do I build my DVD so that the images I have (500) play on the TV, without creating 6 slideshow Buttons"? My DVD player stops after 99 images now.
Note that when I send to IDVD from Iphoto, all 500 images play as One Track.
Thanks
Imac g5 2 Gig Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Under the DVD Specifications, iDVD treats still images in a slideshow as chapters. The DVD specification limits each track to 99 chapters - thus 99 slides. Prior to iDVDF 6, only one track was available for each slideshow use. iDVD 6 allows you to use the DVD specification maximum number of tracks (99) for a slideshow - thus iDVD 6 allows 99x99=9801 slides. Actually, since other things (menus and video content) on a DVD occupy tracks, you won't get 9801 images.
One consequence of using multiple tracks for a slideshow with iDVD 6 is that background audio may drop out briefly every 99 slides. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302962 iDVD 6: Slideshow audio playback drops out after 99 images
Creating a slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie produces a movie which has no limit on the number of images.

Embed image into email (not attachments)

Hi all,
i need to embed images into an HTML table of an email.
Can anyone help me, please?
Sergio

I have done this in a prior application.. Are you building an html style message?
I have attached some ideas for you to try:
define hidden page variable to get the url and location for the images files:
p19_SERVER_STRING
Source or expression:
SELECT owa_util.get_cgi_env('REQUEST_PROTOCOL')||'://'||owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST')||owa_util.get_cgi_env('SCRIPT_NAME')||'/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=4398899520272508996&p_fname='
FROM dual;
(Security Group is from YOUR application)!!
Next:
In a After Submit process assemble the emial message:
local variable lvMessage VARCHAR2(7500)
Define message body in html document (Store in local varchar2 variable)
<body>

<img height="90" hspace="0" src="'|| V('P19_SERVER_STRING')||'srtt_header.png' || '" " width="778" border="0" style="WIDTH: 931px; HEIGHT: 90px">




Send the mseeage after you assemble the required pieces:
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => '[email protected]',
P_FROM => '[email protected]',
P_BODY => v_message,
P_BODY_HTML => v_message,
P_SUBJ => 'Your email with an Image');
APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE;

Embed images in one MovieClip, use in another?

I apologize if you've already read this message. My question
isn't only AS, not only Flash, not only Flex. It's in the
mysterious area where the three come together. I posted this in the
AS discussion, but think it might be better off here.
Is it possible to embed images (jpgs) in one MovieClip, then
load that SWF into another MovieClip and use those images in the
loader? We are trying to avoid reloading an image each time we need
it, but still load them dynamically. We'd like to do this:
Container.swf:
<mx:Application>
<mx:Script>
[Embed(source="images/myimage.jpg")]
public var img: String;
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Then, load that SWF and use its embedded image:
Loader.swf:
<mx:Application>
<mx:Loader id="container" source="Container.swf" />
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Image id="the_image" source="container.content.img"
/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
It looks like this should work, and the "resource" string is
properly being passed to the_image (something like
__Resource.43234564.myimage_jpg) but it cannot actually load; we
get a broken image instead.
I'm guessing I somehow need to register the object library of
the Container.swf with my Loader.swf? How?
Or, is this whole enterprise impossible?
Thank you!
Greg

In Flash you may use 'export for runtime sharing' future. In
Flex there
must be a way also (look at adobe devnet topics)
In Flash common problem is you can't control loading progress
of this
add-on. Preload first add-on to one movie without "export for
runtime
sharing" future with loader progress if you need it, then
reload common
movie to 'real' loader - add-on wil be taken from cache

How to embed images in an INX file using script

Hi All,
Kindly help me in embedding images in INX file using Indesign Javascript.
I have used the following code to embed images in an indd document and exporting that document to inx. But the images in inx are not embedded by default.
var linksCount = myDocument.links.count();
var linksOnPage = myDocument.links;
for(var x=0;x<linksCount;x++){
 var linkedItem = linksOnPage.item(0);
 linkedItem.unlink();
myDocument.save(new File("filename.indd"));
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_INTERCHANGE, File("filename.inx"), app.pdfExportPresets.item("[Press Quality]"));
Thanks in advance,
Anitha

Hi
I think your script has two mistakes
you embed only first link image in for loop => set x for linksOnPage
exporting to inx isnot need PDF export preset => remove app.pdfExportPresets.item("[Press Quality]") from exportFile()
this work for me.
myDocument = app.documents[0];
var linksCount = myDocument.links.count();
var linksOnPage = myDocument.links;
for(var x=0;x < linksCount;x++){
 var linkedItem = linksOnPage.item(x);
 linkedItem.unlink();
myDocument.save(new File("filename.indd"));
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_INTERCHANGE, File("filename.inx"));
thank you

How to embed image in email msg using MAC version of PSE

I can embed an image as Photo Mail in email msg using WIN version of PSE8 but can only send the image as an attachment in MAC version. Is there a way to embed images in MAC version email msgs?

Well, it's not complicated at all really. Just put the cursor in a message where you want the image and drop it in, or else click the stationery button in mail, choose a template, drag over the placeholder "greeking" text and replace it with your own, then drag your own photos into the placeholders. Here's a look at one of the templates. You can see that as my mouse is over the right hand image it tells you to put your own photo there in place of the sample. Moving over the other ones does the same thing.

Thx Monika! I try your way on one file, it works! but I was not familiar with actions/script, I found a script named "Save as PDFs.jsx" under "Sample Scripts\JavaScript\Miscellaneous", so I replace PDF to AI in this script, does it works?

MIME Multipart/related to embed images in html files - Servlet

Hello,
My goal is to embed images in html/xhtml files to decrease latency when using slow networks. Think about mobile phones, if I have 10 images in one page, I will have 11 requests/responses to get the whole page.
The solution would be to embed all images using Content-type multipart/related, so I have one request to the whole pack.
How to do that in java? I mean, I need to set the content-type and build all parts encoding the images to base64.
I tried JavaMail API, there I can build messages like this and instead of send an e-mail, I can write:
myMimeMultipart.writeTo(response.getOutputStream());
The problem is: I am getting everything as text in my browser, including the MIME headers of each part. Another think is that the first header (the main one) doesn't appear too.
Any thoughts/other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andr� Carlucci

If memory serves me right, I believe in the Servlet spec you have access to the Response object. You "should" be able to set any headers you need there. In addition, you can get the output streams just as you described.
I did a similar thing, although slightly modified, to output dynamically-generated XLS (Excel Spreadsheet) files using a reporting engine called JasperReports. It wasn't a multipart response, however, so you may need to figure out how to handle that part of it, but in my case I set the mime-type header, then grabbed the output and started writing my XLS file too it. Once done, you close the streams and return the response. Worked perfect.

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported? Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

Can't open images or tracks in gallery on E61i?

I recently switched from N95 to E61i and when I put my existing memory card in from my N95 I cannot access the images or tracks from the gallery. The handset shows "opening" but never opens and I have to power cylcel. Any help?

Copy the images on PC, to disk, format the card inside E61i and copy back the images. Should work.

Trying to embed images from my iWeb site

Sorry if this has been asked before but I did a search and could not find any answers.
I upgraded from iLife 06 to 08 and managed to get a seamless transition of my iWeb site. The only problem now is that I seem unable to embed images from my site into other web pages on other sites. It used to be a case of copying and pasting the image address into the other web page. Now however it comes up with a very different looking image address that no longer ends with .jpg(jpeg) I have tried adding the .jpg to the end of the address without any success. Am I simply missing the obvious or is this feature no longer available?
Thanks for any help

Disable slideshow or not won't effect the way javascript render photos page images into canvas and anchor links.
But, You can:
1) get Safari 3.1.1, and turn on Develop menu. Safari -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu in menu bar (bottom item). This allows you to see all the elements in the page.
2) get Firefox, FF has DOM Inspector and Page Info.
With the above, you will have to wade thru the info and fish out the links. or,
3) using script to do the heavy lifting (scripting is your friends), there two free scripting languages: AppleScript and JavaScript in every mac.
Combine the two and with understanding of iweb and DOM and you have the ultimate tools for iweb developing, here is the result of your first three links (I have all of them, but just post three here):

Embed image in form not displayed

I am trying to embed an image in the form i.e., point an image that is in my local workbench.
While I was testing from my local Workbench/Designer.
I created a process which receives input xml document and sends the pdf document as response.
However, when I deploy my process on the EB3 server and try to get the PDF from the java code, here is what happens
(1) There is a check box in the designer --> Embed Image.
If I check this check box, then I get pdf damanged error and the pdf will not load in my servlet
(2) If I don't check the check box, then the pdf come but the image is missing.
I would appreciate if someone helps me to avoid the error and get the image in the pdf.
Thanks

It should work fine in 5.4 It was known issue in 5.3. I could not reproduce the issue on 5.4. Are you encountering the same issue for OOB text image component ? If so send the content of [1].

Is there a way to embed images directly in the jar file?

Just place your image in your src/way/to/projectsrc directory.
