Iphoto directory structure and multiple copies

I want to manage the directory structure of my photos because I use them with applications and want to put them where I want to. Thus, I never cared for iPhoto 08 and how it organized the directory structure how it wanted to.
Additionally, it seems iPhoto 08 kept at least 1, sometimes 2 copies of the files. I'd rather have it make a backup only when the original got modified so it doesn't chew up twice as much disk space as needed.
Is there any change in iPhoto 09 for these issues?
I'm currently using Picasa, which I was thrilled when they released the mac version, and it pretty much works the way I want to work. But I'd love to try iPhoto again if its changed.

I want to manage the directory structure of my photos because I use them with applications and want to put them where I want to. Thus, I never cared for iPhoto 08 and how it organized the directory structure how it wanted to.
Then iPhoto is not for you - it is a photo manager and you want a file manager - iPhoto's speed and power comes from being an SQL database and as such there are no user serviceable parts in its library - it depends on the content and structure of the library and if you modify it then it is lost and can no longer operate
Additionally, it seems iPhoto 08 kept at least 1, sometimes 2 copies of the files. I'd rather have it make a backup only when the original got modified so it doesn't chew up twice as much disk space as needed.
iPhoto always keeps the original photo as imported unchanged and make a very small display thumbnail of each photo - if you make any modifications of any sort to a photo then it creates a modified version - each of these is different and there are no backups of photos created by iPhoto - you must do that yourself
Is there any change in iPhoto 09 for these issues?
Issues? There is no change in the way iPhoto works - they are not issues but intentional design that work well and provide great poser to the user for managing and finding photos
I'm currently using Picasa, which I was thrilled when they released the mac version, and it pretty much works the way I want to work.
Glad you found a program that meets your needs - iPhoto does not

Directory structure and files in Oracle Application server 10g and 11g

Hi all,
I am doing a lab migration from 10g to 11g based on the use of JAXB. There were some directory structures used in 10g to store the JAXB jar files and some other custom jar files. I want to know the equivalent folder structures in SOA 11g server. The 10g server directories are mentioned below:-
1.<OracleAS_Home>\webservices\lib.
2. server.xml located at <OracleAS_Home>\j2ee\home\config in 10g. Where can I find the equivalent file to "server.xml" in 11g server?
3. <OracleAS_Home>\bpel\system\classes\com\oracle\bpel\xml\util.
4. <OracleAS_Home> \bpel\system\classes.

Here are the equivalents as per best of my knowledge:
1. <WebLogic Home>\server\lib
For example, D:\Middleware\wls1036\wlserver_10.3\server\lib
2. config,xml located at <Domain_Home>\config\
For example, D:\Middleware\wls1036\user_projects\domains\ArunBaseDomain1036\config\config.xml
3. It should be the same as 10g (instead of OracleAS_Home, it will be ORACLE_Home) if you install the BPEL product. Since, I have not installed BPEL/SOA, I am not very sure.
4. It should be the same as 10g (instead of OracleAS_Home, it will be ORACLE_Home) if you installed the BPEL product.
Also, I would recommend that you consider using ORACLE Smart Upgrade (JDeveloper component) to help you with the upgrade process. It exactly points out these mappings of file/directory structures AND the necessary configuration changes as well.
If you are requirement, is only about making the library jars available to your application, then consider reading the below discussion.

Directory Structure for multiple applications at one host

Can I have multiple (more than one) WEB-INF directory structures in the public_html directory for different web applications? If I do this, how do setup the url-pattern in the Servlet Mapping tag in the web.xml file? How do I setup the URL that calls the servlet from the HTML that has been send to the user�s browser?

If I understand your question, you want multiple contexts. All App Servers/Web Servers allow you to setup multiple contexts. Normally if your root context is in /home/myhome/app_server/
then you would setup multiple contexts by creating a folder for each context:
/home/myhome/app_server/context1/
/home/myhome/app_server/context2/
Each would have their own full application/website. And the way to reference these would be as such:
if the domain, www.mydomain.com, is mapped to /home/myhome/app_server/
www.mydomain.com/context1/
www.mydomain.com/context2/
I think that is what you were asking. Hope it helps

How to install an entire directory structure and files with the LabVIEW installer

I think I may be missing something on how to do this - preserve a file directory structure in the LabVIEW build process.
Is there an easy way to distribute an entire directory structure (multiple directory levels/text files) and have the LabVIEW build process properly preserve and install them? I included a directory in my build specification but it completely flattened the file structure and then so when the installer builds it, the resulting structure in the /data directory is flattened as well. I'd prefer not to go through each file (~100) and setup a specific target location. Is there an easy way to preserve the file structure in the build process/installer process that I am missing (maybe a check box that I didn't see or an option setting somewhere)?
-DC

Hi DC
Sorry for the delay in responding to your question.
You should be able to do this using a 'Source Distribution' as described below:
- Right click on 'Build Specifications' and select 'New' - 'Source Distribution'
- Provide a name
- Add your files to 'Always included' under 'Source Files'
- Under 'Destinations' select 'Preserve disk hierarchy' and ensure that 'Directory' is selected as the 'Destination type'
When building an installer your can then choose to include your source distribution and it will be installed to a location of your choosing.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards

Guidelines regarding directory structure for multiple Oracle homes on Unix!

Hi All,
Are there any guidelines published regarding directory structures that should be defined while using multiple Oracle homes on Unix/Linux box?
I am looking for guidelines regarding admin and oradata folders so that we dont accidentally mess up with the DB contents with a wrong Oracle home.
Its a development server with 8i and 10g. 11g might also get loaded on the same server in future.
Thanks in advance...
Regards

Thanks Maran.
I have already checked many installation guides before posting here. All of them mention about creating folders like /admin or /oradata on various mount points but none of the naming conventions really indicate whether it is a 8i database or a 10g database.
This is required when you are having multiple Oracle installations under /opt and databases are running from different mount points.

Issue w/ shared printers and multiple copies

I just bought a Samsung ML-2010 today to replace my aging HP LaserJet 5L. The printer works fine (albeit rather noisily) except for one issue: I can't get it to print multiple copies of a document; if I specify multiple copies, I always get a single copy. I have downloaded the latest driver from Samsung's web site.
Has anyone experienced this? If so, have you found a solution?
Update: It appears to be a problem with shared printers. I have the printer connected to a wireless print server. When I share the printer through my desktop machine (so that I can queue long jobs on the desktop and put my PowerBook to sleep) , I have the issue. When I print directly to the print server from my PowerBook, multiple copies work just fine.

Never mind. I have no idea how I fixed it, but multiple copies are now working when the printer is shared by my desktop machine.

Hana db filesystem directory structure and process command line

Hi experts,
Could someone provide please actual directory structure of Hana db filesystem?
Generally speaking, I need to model some Hana db(of 1.0, 1.5 versions) entities. Among them:
Schemas
Data files
Log files
Important configuration files
Database parameters(guess found in config files and command line)
Database version
The question is where i can find such information having access to filesystem?
One another question is how common Hana db commandline looks like?
Does it have one process or several?
It would be perfect if someone give some ps -aef command result grepped with relevant Hana Db processes
Thanks,
Eugene

IPhoto 08, Leopard and multiple users

I just installed Leopard. Under Tiger, I have tried unsuccesfully to share my IPhoto library with other users on my computer. In particular, I tried article 304890: "iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users". Has anything changed with Leopard ?
Thank you so much.
Cesco

Many people using the Shared Folder find that they have permissions issues which mean that they 'other' user can't see some part of the Library. Therefore, if you want to share the Library in that way it's best moved to an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set to ignore ownership and permissions.
can both users add photos from their iPhones via iPhoto on their respective accounts and have the new photos show up on the other users iPhoto app?
Yes.
would the newly added photos sharing be automaticall be set to the folder sharing settings? ie, view and edit for both users?
Yes.
if i edit the photos with say photoshop, will the changes show up in iphoto?
If you set this up corrrectly - You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
You will need to do this in both accounts.
would timemachine back the data up automatically?
TM can be set to back up externals. There are other options too, of course.
when I upgrade to a new computer will everything work the same.
Yes. Just plug in the extenal and point iPhoto at the external from the new machine.

Directory browsing and multiple upload (not AIR)

Hello everybody! Do somebody knows is it possible to select
directory and upload all files from this directory to server (not
AIR)?
Thanx

No you cant do that. You must do one at a time. Take a look
at the
FileReference and FileReferenceList documentation for the
upload() method. Partial quote:
Listeners receive events to indicate the progress, success,
or failure of the upload. Although you can use the
FileReferenceList object to let users select multiple files for
upload, you must upload the files one by one; to do so, iterate
through the FileReferenceList.fileList array of FileReference
objects.

User accounts, directory structures and selective access privileges

Bought a new MacBook Pro back in April and only now am I getting down to using it. I was thinking of creating the following user accounts in the hope of creating a scheme that allows selective access to certain folders:
Root -a super user account
Admin - I don’t think I should be logged in as the administrator all the time
Jai Gill - my main account with all my work files including client information that is organised in a Workflow folder containing a Projects folder and a Clients folder (within which, each of my clients has a folder)
Show Time - a secure Simple Finder type account for when I am running a client specific presentation or workshop to ensure all data for other clients is kept secure and away from prying eyes.
When using the Show Time account, I would like to set it up so that only those files relating to the client in question are available for use. For instance, if I am running a workshop for Client G, I only want the folder for Client G available for use in this account and not any other clients. A few hours or days later, this could change to Client B or F or J etc so I need a way to easily secure the current client’s data and switch over to the other client’s data i.e., put away work and pull up new work.
Would it be possible to create a scheme using aliases placed in Show Time’s Documents folder pointing at a client folder in my documents folder to allow this to happen? Would I have to create a group with the right access privileges to enable this to happen? Or is there an alternative method based on using the Shared files folder and some sort of script or application to create a duplicate of a client folder and use a scheme to synchronise it with the original client folder?
Is this possible in Mac OSX? Any thoughts? Ideas? Applications/utilities that already enable this to happen?

Hi Kiraly
I cracked it today. Took a couple of hours to figure out some idiosyncrasy but I'm now set.
Here's what I did:
1. Got a copies of Sharepoint, Workgroup Manager and ChronoSync.
2. Logged into the MacBook Pro as myself, went into System Preferences and used the normal approach to set up an account for a user called Show Time
3. Using Workgroup Manager, created an addition workgroup called macshow
4. Made myself and Show Time members of macshow
5. Attached the MBP to my G5 using my 2gen iPod's FireWire cable and cranked it up in target disk mode
6. Using ChronoSync, did a 'bi-directional' synchronisation of my Workflow folder into a location in the MBP's Shared folder (going to do this all the time)
7. Shut down, detached then restarted the MBP and logged on as myself.
8. Located the Workflow folder in the Shared folder and by getting information, set that folder and all it's contents to be owned by me but accessible and R/W for the group macshow
9. Went two levels into the Workflow folder [Workflow/4 Delivery/Client T] and using SharePoint, made the folder Client T accessible to the group macshow.
10. Logged in as Show Time and accessed the Shared folder to find that my scheme had worked and I had access to the folder for Client T and all it's contents.
11. Logged out and went back in under my ID and now using System Preferences, crippled the Show Time account down to Simple Finder with access limited to just a handful of applications like KeyNote, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Safari.
12. Went back in as Show Time and it went into Simple Finder and thereafter, everything works great. Workflow showed up as did the folder for Client T plus all its contents. Opened a few documents and presentations and they wrked great.
New learning points for me:
1. I had to log out then log back in to make the access privileges stick when using the Show Time accounts
2. A number of locked Excel files prevented access privileges being set - had to locate and unlock each
3. Using both SharePoint and Workgroup Manager may be seem to be overkill but it works as these two applications helped in getting the groups sorted out as well as access to a specific folder.
The best part of the above scheme is that I can at anytime, using SharePoint, change the client folder being shared with the user Show Time through the use of the group macshow i.e., change Client T back to my group and then pick say Client J or any number of other client folders and assign them to the group macshow.
Thanks to you and the others who have posted on this and all other threads on this topic, I have sorted this out in one go.
Jai
PS in case you're wondering why it took me so long to get down to do it, it is something called client work. And may there be more of it too!

IPhoto 11 structure and format

Okay guys and gals,
I know that when we import photos from our cameras and disks, iPhoto keeps the original name in the database as it was imported; DSC001.jpg, etc. I know how to change the title of the photo (that has a default name same as the file name). Is there a way when you export the photo outside iPhoto (like send one in an email to a friend) to have the file name changed to something logical so that someone else know what it is?
I the reason I ask is I'm buying my wife a new MPB and she will be importing about 60,000 photos that she has and I want to make sure that she has a good experience with the Mac.
Thanks for any help!
Mark

I'm pretty sure you can just click on the name of the photo under the image, "DSC001.jpg" and rename it whatever you want.
Then when you send it, it should maintain the new name. As for a batch process... I've not tried that.

SpamAssassin upgrades and multiple copies

Somewhere along the way I've performed the SA update to 3.3 using pterobyte's instructions and I find myself with 2 copies of SA. The older version 3.2.5 in /usr/bin and the newer version at /usr/local/bin. Unless if I run `which spamassassin` I get /usr/bin/spamassassin as a response.
Do I need to remove all the SA related binaries from /usr/bin so the more current ones in /usr/local/bin are utilized?

I haven't changed the path variable. But should I have 2 copies of SA? My $PATH order puts the older version ahead so the new version of all the file don't get called. I think this was a problem recently when I ran spamtrainer. I have since pointed to the newer /usr/local/bin/sa-learn in the spamtrainer cron job. Previously I hadn't indicated the path.

Directory Structure Changes in iPhoto

Hi,
I have noticed that since iPhoto 09, directories have stopped being created for each event. Instead some random initial directory is created (sometimes just a date) and the event names are obviously then just being kept in a database. Now I already know that the iPhoto directory structure contains "no user serviceable parts" etc.. but i do like to backup my photos to a remote file server (yeah i use timecapsule too, but this is for offsite backups) and would prefer that the directory structure is somewhat sensible *just in case* (horror) i lost my iPhoto database.
With iPhoto 09 i'm going to left with a bunch of random directories and file names.
Any way to have this behave as it used to in iPhoto 08?
Thanks

Any way to have this behave as it used to in iPhoto 08?
No
You can backup by dragging the iPhoto library to the external drive or using a clone or backup program (I use Carbon Copy Cloner - http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
If you are "backing up" by copying parts of the iPhoto library you are not getting a backup of the library - you need to copy the entire library as a single entity or clone it or use an incremental backup program that works with iPhoto
