Is it possible to select a selection?

I know the question sounds weird but I couldn't think of a better way of describing what I want.
I'm setting up an Action in which I want to crop a series of images to a selection rectangle. I fool around with the position and size of the selection for several minutes before I'm happy with it, as well as doing several other things. I'd rather not record all that stuff in the action.
Given that I have a selection in front of me that is the one I want, can I tell the Action: "Now listen here, this is the selection I want you to make". If I record the Action, with the selection active, and then crop to that selection, when I run the Action it says "No selection made."
So, while recording an Action is it possible to select a selection that is already there?

Thanks, Willi, for the suggestion. But I couldn't get it to work inside an Action. I recorded Save Selection as part of an action, but of course, it saves the selection to that particular file. When the Action is run on a folder full of images, the Action comes to a halt because the saved selection is only in a certain image, and the Action doesn't know how to access it in an image that is not currently being processed.
I doubt whether a PS Action can save a selection as part of the action. Probably an oversight on the programmers part. The closest I could get was to record an Insert Menu Item, the menu item being Select All.
The interesting thing is: the scenario works when recording the Action. I set the selection, then start recording my actions – the crop and save and whatever – and it works. The image is cropped and saved. But when played back as an Action, the settings for that particular selection are not stored in the Action. And they should be. It would be quite easy to record the co-ordinates of the selection as part of the Action (X-Y co-ordinates of the four corners), but PS hasn't been set up to do it – as far as I can tell. The problem would be: the selection would only be valid for images of exactly the same size.

I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
See: Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually?

Is it possible to select multiple clips and create a sequence from each individually? If you select multiple clips and select "New Sequence from Clip" it puts all of the clips into one sequence. Is there an easy way to quickly perform this on multiple selected clips separately?

So now I *have* used Butler with PPro, and it works very well, here's an idea of how to do it:
Import folder of clips
Ensure first clip selected in bin and sorted by Media Type
Most of these commands need shortcuts assigning - mine listed below
Macro:
To create seq from selected clip:
‘New seq from clip’ (Shift+CMD+N)
To duplicate this seq:
‘Reveal Sequence in project’ (Shift+F) - not strictly necessary as it will already be selected
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Edit | Duplicate’ (Shift+CMD+/)
To rename the duplicate
‘Enter’
Various keystrokes to rename as required
‘Enter’ - to make name stick
‘Shift+Enter’ - to reselect that sequence
‘Esc’ - to get out of editing name
To change resolution of duplicate:
‘Sequence Settings’ (CMD+5)
‘Tab’ x 3 (to get to H Frame Size)
‘xxxx’ (to enter frame width)
‘Tab’ x 1 (to get to V Frame Size)
‘yyyy’ (to enter frame height
‘Enter’ x 2 as prompt will say previews will have to be deleted
To then find next clip ready for macro to run again:
‘Open in Timeline’ (Shift+CMD+O)
‘Match Frame’ (Shift+Spacebar)
‘Reveal in Project’ (Shift+CMD+F)
‘Window | Project’ (CMD+9)
‘Down Arrow’ - to select next clip
I tried it with Butler (manytricks.com - free trial, $20 to buy) and it worked a treat, takes about 3 secs per clip
AHK (for windows) is at autohotkeys.com and is free.
You could start making multiple macros - that would enable you to do grade / resize in middle of duplication - and then export etc, but I figure you can figure that out ;-)

When using AirPrint is it possible to select double sided printing

I am trying to use AirPrint to print from the Pages app on iPad Air running IOS 8.1.1. Is it possible to select any of the printer options, such as double-sided printing, when doing this?
Many thanks

Once you start to print using AirPrint, a display appears where you select the printer and options. Presumably the HP is your only AirPrint printer (as the Epson is mine). On that same screen, I can select the number of copies, and I also see an on/off slider for "Double Sided".

Is it possible to selectively block re-explode BOM in Sub-contracting PO ?

In our business scenario, sometimes we are directly adding PO components in the Sub-contracting PO in addition to the existing components that have come in through BOM. After saving and somedays later when the user goes to edit PO through ME22N, since the components button & re-explode BOM button are very close, users by mistake press re-explode BOm and also save the PO. The directly added components go out and hence not consumed while GR. Is it possible to selectively block the re-explode BOM through PO user exit or any other method?

Some amount of user training should help.
If not discuss with your abaper if badi - ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST can be used or you can find user exits with a search using MM06E*

Creating an index: it's not possible to select a tablespace for the index

Hi,
we are using SQL-Developer Version 3.0.04.
When creating an index it's not possible to select a tablespace for the index. The only choice which is offered by SQL-Developer is <DEFAULT>.
The user itself has privileges on several other tablespaces - and therefore not just only on the default tablespace of the user.
Any help will be appreciated
Rgds
JH

Hi JH,
Well, the capability is somewhat buried in the UI, but it is there.
In the Create Index dialog ...
1. Tick the "Advanced" check-box in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Select "Properties" from the left-hand list (Definition, Properties, Partitions, DDL).
3. Click the Storage Options... button
4. Use the drop-down list to select the desired tablespace.
Return to (2.) and select DDL to see that your tablespace choice is present.
Regards,
Gary
SQL Developer Team
Edited by: Gary Graham on Mar 7, 2012 5:06 PM
And if all you see in the drop-down list is <DEFAULT>, then I would suggest rechecking the user's privileges. Or provide more details about your environment: OS / Database / JDK version, and so on.

There are other older choices from which to experiment, such as Classilla 9.2.1 browser,
which is newer than the much older WaMcom mozilla derivative...
These would all have some issues, and one of them is the lack of correct Java support
along with any Flash player or other important parts whose update has ceased to happen.
Classilla:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/releases/
Older browsers, such as very early (Mac OS) Mozilla and Netscape 7 or before may be OK
if you can find them as downloads; but each will be lacking in some important area. For those
who may hope to use the email function in some, that may not work. It may in another, if the
technical specs for email haven't changed too much, or if the Internet provider allows access.
http://code.google.com/p/classilla/wiki/AAATheFAQ
MRJ and Flash 7 are supported to some limited extent, from what I've read; but for issues
including security and performance, it is 'forced-off' and should only be turned on to see if
a web page supports it, or in known-secure web sites. Classillia should be read into further.
Some models of older computer hardware predating OS X 10.2 may require a Firmware
update version to be installed in the older OS9 software, running in the computer, to be
able to safely consider running 10.2 or later, in the computer. So if you consider that, do
look into available or necessary firmware updates and install one as needed. Then, to run
an OS X, the computer may require other hardware updates, more RAM, larger HDD, etc.
Or be on the look-out for a newer build Macintosh which supports later OS systems; you
can find info in MacTracker.ca or everymac.com on what hardware supports which OS.
PS: if your older 'colors' G3 iBook were a 'dual-USB' model (white, 500MHz+) it would be
able to run up to Panther 10.3.9 and OS 9.2.2, without additional firmware update; limited
by the size of the hard disk drive, graphic processor, limited RAM upgrade, bus speed, etc.
Good luck & happy computing!

Possible to select movie playlists on iTunes?

Just upgraded to Apple TV 2 and wondered whether it is possible to select a playlist rather all the files on a Mac that you connect to? When I connect to my Movies I only seem to have the option of seeing all my movies rather than playlists with selected movies.....

you have to enable playlists in the appletv settings menu.
do that and it will show all your movie and tv show playlists (as well as music).

Is it possible to select a part of a video project and only render that specific part?

Hi.
I formerly used Sony Vegas Pro - and I'm in the process of getting into Final Cut Pro X, and I'm wondering...
In Sony Vegas Pro - I was able to mark a part of my video project, and only render that. It was usefull if I wanted to send a part of a project rendered to someone else for review etc.
In Final Cut Pro X I can't find a similar possibility - I have to render my complete video project - or nothing at all.
Does anyone know if it's possible to select a part of a project and render only that part?
Best regards
Jens Rosenstand

Hi.
Well...that's not quite what I meant...
I would like to render a part of a video to a .MOV file for example - that I can send of to someone to watch - but the whole project, just a part of it.
Is that possible?

dispatching the event and setting the "prog" var to the % in
which i want my meter to display
//heres the flex side
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off"
backgroundColor="#000000" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="setMeter", type="flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function populate(mySize:Number):void

]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:SWFLoader source="meter.swf" width="100%"
height="100%" id="mtr1"/>
<mx:Number id="prog"/>
</mx:Canvas>
what im doing here is adding an event listener from my
embedded swf (4 parents deep).
then setting a var(myFlex:Object) to the
movieclip.parent.parent.parent which would be the flex movieclip
then actually grabbing that var "prog" to figure out what
level to set the meter.
//heres the flash side
stop();
var mm:MovieClip = this;
this.parent.parent.parent.parent.addEventListener("setMeter",
cHandler);
function cHandler(event:Event):void
var myFlex:Object = mm.parent.parent.parent;
mtr.gotoAndStop(myFlex.prog);
i know there are definitely better ways to do this but it
works for me. i have used the external interface class and local
connection class but this works pretty well for me. im currently
using the external interface with the yahoo maps api and it works
really well but im having trouble using more than one external
interface instance in the same app....so i went this route.

Is it possible to select multiple values from an enumerated list?

I have a Category with an Attribute defined as an enumerated list. Is it possible to select more than one value from the enumerated list? If not, does anyone have a recommended approach for configuring Categories or Attributes that often have more than one of the Attribute values selected? Do I just use multiple Categories and/or Attributes with the same enumerated list? If so, is there an efficient way (API, maybe) to copy the enumerated list values from one Attribute to a new one (or one Category to another)?
Thanks for any ideas!
~Mark

Boy, this is something we're struggling with too. So we'd like to hear others' ideas on this also.
thank you,

Is it Possible to select KF's dynamically in BEx ?

Hello BI Gurus,
Is it possible to dynamically select the KF for the columns in BEx ?
I'm sure I would be sounding vague with the abouve question.
Let me explain the scenario below.
I have a specific requirement where I have Year in the rows and 5 KF's in the columns.
The columns are basically a restriction on the sum of one KF value to current year, uptil curryr-1, curr yr-2, etc.
Year | KF Value till Curr Yr | KF Value till Curr Yr-1 | KF Value till Curr Yr-2 | ...
Now as per the requirement, when the user selects one particular Characteristics for the Year, he needs to see a particular KF restricted as mentioned above in the columns.
And when he selects another Characteristics for the year column, he needs another KF to be displayed in the columns.
Is this possible in BEx??
If this is possible, kindly let us know how to achieve the same.
Thanks And Regards,
Anoop P

Hi Anoop,
Check if this makes sense to you.
Create your key figure for ytd in one key figure structure in column.
Create another characteristic structure which has calendar year characteristic under the key figure structure.
(ie we are trying to drill across by calendar year characteristic).
If the selection is made from 2007 to 2009, then the report layout would be as shown below.
....................................KF ytd............................
2007...........................2008....................2009
val till date................val till date
in 2007.....................in 2008........
Create your user input variable on characteristic calendar year.
Performance wise, this would be better than using CKF/RKF
Note - We are not restricting calendar year in key figure.
Hope it helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.
