Is Aperture the tool for me?

Afternoon all,
Following on from a separate forum thread I've got here in iPhoto https://discussions.apple.com/message/20902055?ac_cid=op123456#20902055?ac_cid=o p123456, I wondered whether the Aperture thread could also help me out.
I'm looking to have a single product to use as a central catalogue and referencing tool for the 000s of photos I've already got but also the 000s yet to be taken. I'm intending to have these photos stored on a NAS with appropriate backup measures, but accessing them through this as yet unknown product through wi-fi. I'm likely to do minimal photo manipulation other than the basics and enjoy the features of iPhoto so the main benefit is the ability to reference the images from a networked location. TD has kindly advised that iPhoto isnt the right product due to various limits due to networking.
My question is simple: Is Aperture the tool for me?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Tim

If you read TD's answer carefully, it says
It cannot have the Library on a networked location, such as a NAS. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
The main problem is the formatting of the drive - for Aperture holds the same: The library needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS X Extended. Otherwise you are risking inconsistencies in your Aperture library  and open a can of worms, see:
Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
If you absolutey want to store your Photolibrary on a NAS, you can create a writable diskimage formatted MacOS X extended on your NAS and store the library on this disk image. You will have to take care to automount the diskimage before you access Aperture. This will be tedious and slow.
The question, if you can put your Aperture library on a network volume is open to a debate, but I would not do it.
For a good performance the access to the Aperture library needs to be very fast - I'd put the library on the fastest drive you have, with a very fast port, Thunderbolt, for example. My library sits on a second internal drive.
Your network needs to be very stable, if you want reliable database transactions for your Aperture library.
2. While you can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, with the Masters on a NAS and the library on a local disk, this is inherently unreliable. Here has more:
This is better in Aperture. Other than iPhoto Aperture has built-in tools to deal with referenced original files. So you can move the bulk of your image files to an external volume and keep only the Aperture library on your internal volume.

    Unable to view external webcam content.  I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit.  I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser.  I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

  • What are the tools for GAP Analysis.

    What are the tools for GAP Analysis.

    Hi
    GAP Analysis :
    A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
    In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
    Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.
    Please search, there are many threads and many times discussed this topic.

  • Parsing Text, is automator the tool for this?

    Hi gang, I would like to create a script to convert my work schedule that shows on the company website to iCal events. I am brand new to applescript and automator, so I don't even know if this is the toolset to do this, or if it's too complicated. Here's a snippit of my schedule:
    05DEC 5363 CVG 1315 IAH 1500
    What I'd like the event to read is "5363 CVG IAH" at 1:15PM-3:00PM on Dec 5th. I'd like to have the website up and copy each event one at a time and alt-tab to automator to paste each line into an input box so it could parse the text, figure out 05DEC means 5th of December, then figures out that "5363 CVG IAH" would be the event and 1315 and 1500 are the start and end times (in military time). Too tough, or is it do-able? It would save a lot of time and possible errors if I could enter my schedule in by pasting each event verses manually typing the times, etc. Thanks in advance

  • The tool for testing developed system

    We have already developed a system base on WebAS.Is there  some test tool for the developed system such as J Unit in Java?Thanks.

    If your intentions is to test user interfaces or scenarios eCatt is the best choice. If you want to ensure code quality ABAP Unit and Code Inspector are suited well.

  • Help!  Is DDM the tool for me ?

    I'm stepping into two large and complex databases with many tables and much linkage. (running over Oracle 10)
    I'm going to be implementing multiple sites with clones of these databases - but each site will have a subset of the total data.
    The data is already nicely structured so that there is a single [root] table from which most other tables descend.
    I expect to create a model describing all of this, and would love to find out that DDM (or it's exports) can be scripted in some way so that I can move these subsets of data from one site to another in an automated fashion

    Automated Fashion?
    That is a tough one since I am not sure what automated you want.
    SQL Developer Data Modeler has the capability to capture your DB objects and then you can make sub- views with the sub- data you wish to generate DDL with.
    However, the tool is free so download and play around all you wish. You can find tutorials, documentation at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html
    You can download the Data modeler at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/downloads/index.html

  • Is APEX the tool for a lightweight browser based query only front end?

    I'm tasked with prototyping a lightweight browser based front end to display consolidated customer information. It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications, each passing in a customer id parameter. In my mind I've already marked-down the only front-end tool I have experience of - Forms10g as being too resource intensive to be continually started up and closed down (plus the initial potential JVM download to locked-down PC's). That leaves me with a couple of options (as far as I can see) - APEX or ADF Faces. I'm slightly worried about the steep learning curve for a J2EE environment plus the possible compatibility issues with ie 5.5 ( I know, I know ). And finally, my question - I've got a good feeling about it but does APEX seem like a good fit for this sort of task?

    It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications, each passing in a customer id parameter. Chris - They want to be able to hit a button in these other applications and see a browser window pop-up (quickly!), view the customer details (composite picture sourced from a data warehouse) then close the browser window and go back to their app. Needs to be lightweight for speed so APEX seemed a good idea.
    Denes - Thanks. I'm thinking that the users will regularly open this browser session from their app then close the APEX window to return - probably time and time again. Did you find that establishing a connection and getting the page up made it slow. Is there something I should concentrate on to make sure that aspect performs?

  • What are the tools for doing xslt mapping.

    Hi All,
    I am doing a a scenario with xslt mapping. Can anybody give be step by step procedure for doing xslt mapping.

    Hi Ankur ,
    U can use Altova XMLSpy for XSLT Mapping.
    See the below links
    XSLT Mapping
    /people/prasadbabu.nemalikanti3/blog/2006/03/30/xpath-functions-in-xslt-mapping
    /people/sreekanth.babu2/blog/2005/01/05/design-time-value-mappings-in-xslt

    XSLT Mapping with java enhancement
    /people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/06/27/xslt-mapping-with-java-enhancement-for-beginners
    Step by Step procedure:
    for doing xslt mapping you need to create a .xlst file containing the xslt mapping of source and target data.
    U can use Altova XMLSpy for creating .xslt mapping.
    Following following steps for executing this mapping.
    1. Create Source Data and Target Data Type in IR.
    2. Take xml representation of source data and open it into Alto XMLSpy.
    3. Create .xsd file for above source xml data.
    4. Repeat above two procedure for Target Data.
    Now Creating .xslt file you need to Use Alto MapForce.
    Steps will be:
    1. Open the Alto MapForce. Import the source .xml and .xsd file in it.
    2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in the MapForce.
    3. You will have both source and target data available in MapForce in similar fashion as you have in IR.
    4. Do the graphical mapping using extensive list of functions available there.
    5. Save the mapping file.
    6. Click the XSLT Tab . You will have the entire .xslt logic there.
    6. Copy the above content and save it as .xslt file.
    7. Create a jar file for the above .xslt file.
    8. Go to IR , Import the .jar file into 'Imported Archive'
    7. In Message Mapping , Choose XSLT from drop down box of Message program.
    8. Import the jar containing the .xslt file.
    9. Test the mapping

  • Why do we need IDE or tools for java card programming?

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to java card, using java card kit tools themself, we can test and burn the code into card right?
    then why do we need IDE for java card, please correct me , if i am wrong,
    Thanks in advance,
    Sri.

    Dear Sri,
    We have compiler, linker etc for every language starting of from C or C++ or Java. JDK has all the tools necessary to develop and run a Java program. Similarly Java Card Development Kit has all the tools for developing and deploying a Java Card applet. But what an IDE does is too integrate all these tools and make it easier for the JavaCard programmer to develop his applets. Just like Eclipse is used for Java applet development.And not everytime the code is burned to the card. Its only during masking code is burned to the card, i.e if u can call it burning. Masking makes an applet permanent on the card.

  • Since downloading the update for Firefox 3.6.10 all websites that I previously stayed logged into must be logged into everytime I open them. Why? And can this be fixed?

    This has happened with previous Firefox updates but only after the initial update. Once I logged into websites such as facebook, yahoo, hotmail etc. I stayed logged in and was able to access these sites without having to log in each and every time. I have checked all boxes on these and all other sites to remember passwords and to keep me logged in and I still have to log in on each new visit. I rebooted my computer and this did not help. I made sure that Remember Passwords was checked on the Security tab under Options in the Tools for Firefox.

    How can Mozilla be contacted to report this problem directly to them instead of posting to a forum?

  • The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

    Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all.  It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn.  Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

    Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?
    Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
    Did you use Barbara's fix?
    It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
    HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES.  THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?
    Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
    The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!
