Is There a Better Way to Work in the Marker List Window?

Is there a better way to sequentially listen to phrases one-by-one in the Marker List window? What I'm doing is Auto-Marking one single long file to break out 271 bits and save each as their own file. It's WAY faster than copying and pasting bits into new files and "saving as" 217 times.
BUT, after Auto-Marking, I have 300-400 phrases to listen to, deleting the non-keepers as I go, until I'm left with my "keeper" 271 marked phrases. But it's so tedious to move from phrase-to-phase. I have to double-click each one before I can hear it (you can move the cursor with the down-arrow, but it won't actually select the audio). So I have to use the mouse (unless I'm missing something) and double-click each of the hundreds of phrases. Then whenever I delete one (which I'll have to do about a hundred times or more to get rid of bad takes, alternates, etc.), inexplicably the cursor jumps way up the list so you have to scroll back down dozens of files to get to where you were. It took me 35 minutes to do it this last time.
Contrast that with Reaper's audition/preview functionality (which, ironically, AA has also, but only for files already saved into a folder). Once I had all the files saved into a folder, I QC'd all 217 files in Reaper and MAN what a difference! All I had to do was use the "down" arrow to advance to the next file AND have it play automatically (Audition can do the same thing with the "Open File" feature). It literally took me 5 minutes to check all 217 files that way. If AA could add that kind of functionality to the Marker List window, or if I'm just completely missing something (very possible) I would REALLY be happy.
Any ideas?
Thanks again! Happy New Years again!

Wild Duck,
That doesn't quite do what I need. My end-product is 271 (used to be 116) separate files created from one large file. That large one is made up of WAY more than 271 (the VO actor records different versions of some commands, makes mistakes, etc.).
So I need the ability to listen to each marker, and then be able to delete it if need be.
The Playlist makes this impossible in two ways. It only has 2 options for hearing each marker, and neither option allows me to delete that marker after I've heard it. It either plays them all back-to-back without stopping, or it plays each as you click the "Move Down" button. That last one would be great if showed me which marker was playing! But it doesn't, so there is no way for me to know which marker number I just heard, nor can I delete that marker after I hear it.
Sigh.
Thanks for the tip though:).

Designing a banner stand: Is there a easy way to work out the recommend margins / bleed?

So its my first time creating a banner stand and something of larger scale. I was wondering if there is a certain way to work out the recommended margins for the size of the document? Or should i simply do it by eye. The banner dimensions our 800m x 1200mm.
Also any other tips for creating larger document would be appreciated.

It sounds like the same product that we do a lot of here. There's no technical reasons for a particular margin, as they can be full bleed (print right to the edge), so it's a subjective design decision.Take into consideration the content and the context. It could be a something with little content, intended to draw people from a distance (larger margins), or it could be something with a lot of content that will be read from a short distance (smaller margins).
I tend to do these as 1:1 scale, but bear in mind that InDesign's Optical Kerning will be too tight when you do this.

Better ways to work with the pen tool

I'm finding the pen tool a real aggravation to use... first off you cannot hardly see the points once a path is completed. Even blowing the artwork up really big doesn't help much.
Then its really easy to loose the ability to move individual points... at least I've found that at one point I can select and move the points easily with keyboard and somehow I loose that ability and seems to difficult to regain it. Instead I'm moving the whole path.
I wondered if any of the plugins out there might be dedicated to making the pen tool points easier to manipulate and edit. Just making them easily visible would probably be enough.

Harry,
The Direct Selection Tool is the one to use for moving Anchor Points after the path has been drawn. Always work on paths without anything selected when you start; this is one place where Smart Guides are your friends because they let you see highlights of what you may select.
If you Click an Anchor Point, you will see that it is shown as a filled square; the other (non selected) Anchor Points are shown as hollow squares; you can select additional Anchor Points by ShiftClicking them.
With the desired Anchor Point(s) chosen, you may ClickDrag (either of them), or use the Arrow keys, or Object>Transform>Move, to move it/them.
You can also ClickDrag across the desired Anchor Point(s), starting from an empty spot with no fill (normally outside the path).
If I'm following you above... I do not see that behavior here. I speaking particularly of your third and fourth points.
You are talking about doing point 3 and 4 with direct select right?
To make it simple I'll just work with one point on a closed path :... I first click on an empty part of art board, then click a single point. At that point all the points light up and show there handles. The clicked one is a solid red dot, the others are a hollow dot with red stroke.
Now according to what I got of your comments, I should be able to move that single selected point with the arrow keys.... but I cannot.
Far as point 4, same thing applies... It is good to know that I can select multiple points that way, but after selecting ... the keyboard arrows do nothing to the selected points. But at least I can quickly pull mutiple points around with the mouse... so thanks for that bit.
Are you able to select a point on a closed path, and control it with arrow keys?
Is there some circumstance I may have initiated inadvertantly that would prevent the arrow keys moving points around.
I pretty sure there was while early on where I was moving individual points with keyboard but cannot get it to happen now.

Timeline not working - is there a better way?

First, what I'm trying to accomplish:
I have a div layer the explains how to navigate the ensuing
page.
I want this to display for about 25 seconds and then hide
while the other two divs on the page become visible.
I set up a timeline with three layers and made it
automatically play back.
I made the first layer visible for 25 seconds and then made
it hidden.
The other two divs started hidden and I made them visible
after 25 seconds.
It worked for a while but I went back to fine tune it but the
timeline appeared to be blank. I tried to set it up again but now
things are all screwed up.
Is there a better way to show and hide divs for specific
amounts of time?
Are there tricks to using timelines that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Steve

This doesn't really answer your question - but your post
raises some
other questions. If you have to explain to users how to
navigate your
site, isn't that a red flag that there are other more serious
issues?
Like making the site usable? If you still want to display
those DIVs,
not all people read at the same speed. After 25 or whatever
seconds some
people will be bored having to stare at that so long while
others will
not have had enough time to read it. Best to let the user
decide when to
close the DIV. The last thing to note is the Timeline is
pretty awful.
So bad in fact that it is being removed from Dreamweaver CS4.
You might
consider using Flash for "Timeline animations" instead.

Hi, I had to re install my itunes library from a hard drive to my new laptop. Now I cant sync my iphone because itunes thinks all songs are new and basically doubling all albums. Should i restore iphone or is there a better way?

hi, i had to re install my itunes library from a hard drive to my new laptop. Now itunes thinks i am trying to add new albums and saying there isnt enoug space. should i restore or is there a better way.

Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.

Is there a better way to add int arrays together?

I'm working on a project that will add arrays of integer together...all element are nonnegative integers
For example
A = [0 1 2 3]
I need to find an algorithm to find 2A= A + A, 3A = A+A+A....., hA = A +...A ( h times)
For 2A, the result array will look like this
2A = [ 0 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 5 3 4 5 6]
Then using Array.sort(2A) i will have 2A= [ 0 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 6].
Lastly I will write another code to get rid of repetitions to get the desired array 2A = [ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6]
public static int[] hA(int[] a, int h){
   // mon = null;
   //mon = MonitorFactory.start("myFirstMonitor");
       if (h==1) return a;
       if (h==2){
              int[] b = new int[(a.length)*(a.length)];
           int count = 0;
           int maxa = a.length,maxb=b.length;
           for (int i = 0 ; i < maxa; i++)
           for (int j=0 ; j <maxa; j++)
             b[count]=a[i]+a[j];
                count++;
            return b;
           else
           return hA(a,h-1);
       }I still don't know how to write recursive code to get it to find 3A, 4A....hA....
is there any better way to do this?

sorry for not defining it better
2A ={ a + a' | a,a' E A}
that means for A = { 0 1 3} , 2A ={ 0 1 2 3 4 6}
but to get to [ 0 1 2 3 4 6], i don't know of any better way to achieve it.
Also to find 3A = { a+a'+a'' |a,a',a'' E A}
that means for A = { 0 1 3} ,3A={ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9}
the idea is simple but to put into java code is not...at least for me

Is there any better way for updating table other than this?

Hi all, I need to update a row in the table that require me to search for it first (the table will have more than hundred thousands of row). Now, I am using a LOV that will return the primary key of the row and put that primary key to DEFAULT_WHERE property in the block and execute query command to fetch the row that need updating. This works fine except that it require 2-query-trip per update (the lov and the execute_query). Is there any better way to doing this? This update is the main objective for my application and I need to use the most effective way to do it since we need to update many records per hour.

Thanks Rama, I will try your method. Others, how to query row instead of primary key? I thought that querying primary key is faster due to the index?
BTW, what people do if you need to update a table using Form? I have been using the LOV then execute query since I first developing form. But I am building a bigger database recently that I start worrying about multiple query trip to dbms.
FYI my table will have up to million rows on it. Each row will be very active (updated) within 1-2 weeks after it creation. After that it will exist for records purposes only (select only). The active rows are probably less than 1% of all the rows.

"Automation" is too manual - is there a better way?

I'm using automation to apply different effects (echo, reverb, etc) at various points in my track - but I can't believe I have to keep doing the same thing manually every time I want to change effects at each point. Is there a better way to apply the same automation of effects to various points (or regions) in the track?
Thanks in advance!

Switching a panel to another panel in the same frame.Is there a better way?

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() instanceof toolButton){
            westPanel.remove(optionPanel);
            westPanel.setVisible(false);
            toolButton tb = (toolButton)e.getSource();
            optionPanel = tb.getPanel();
            westPanel.add(optionPanel);
            westPanel.setVisible(true);
    }This code above is what I used to execute when one of several JButtons is being pressed.
In this program, one of the JPanel will be automatically switched to another JPanel when you press the respective JButtons.
Here are my questions:
1. Right now, I use westPanel.setVisible(false) and then change some stuff and then invoke westPanel.setVisible(true) to make it visible again. Although this works, I have a feeling that this is not quite right. I feel that there should be some better way to do this, switching the panel and request the program to redraw the replacing JPanel. Is there a better way for this?
2. Most of the time, the JPanel changes the size according to the components on it. I have tried several LayoutManager, but it seems that those components have more priority. Is there a way to completely fix the JPanel so that they stay the same size?

Look into using a Card Layout rather than manually swapping the panels: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html

Netdevice=eth0 - is there a better way?

With the latest patches for ZFD, the imaging kernel now supports wireless drivers. Clearly, many of us are having issues because machines with WiFi adapters prompt for interface selection.
We've temporarily settled on netdevice=eth0 in settings.txt to turn off this unheralded new feature.
We tried using "brokenmodules" successfully, but we have quite a few different wireless adapters. Long term, that could get sticky.
Dear Novell - is there a better way to disable WiFi in imaging? In a medical environment, there are often computers with multiple ethernet interfaces and there is no guarantee that eth0 isn't crossover connected to some piece of equipment or a printer in a lab.
How about "brokenmodules=wifi"?
Or, maybe... "wifi=whotheheckwantstoimageusingwirelessanywa y"

We use
Code:
netsetup=dhcp,all
And it works fine on every desktop and laptop we tried.

Complete Apple TV Resync when upgrading my server? Is there a better way?

We recently replaced our old imac that served are the ITunes library with a new one. We have two Apple TVs.
I configured the new server using a time machine backup from my old. I de-authorized my old computer and re-authorized the new one. All of my music, movies and pictures transferred over fine. To get the Apple TVs to work (they weren't visible on the new server), I had to 'remove' them from the old computer. Then add them again be getting a code from the ATVs and typing it into the new ITunes server.
Even though both ATVs were current with all content, they reloaded everything. I'm about 48 hours in, and it still isn't done. Was there a better way?

No, unfortunately, it's one of the more annoying aspects of the ATV. If you replace the computer you keep your iTunes library on the ATV sees it as a different library even though it's the same library on a different computer. The hardware signature of the new computer is different, so the ATV doesn't recognize it as the same library. The same thing happens if you replace the hard drive in your computer, the ATV will no longer recognize it as the same computer. Your only option is to wait for the sync to complete.

Is there any better way to test an agent?

Every time when I changes some code in the agent, I have to restart the domain to load the new class file. I tried the reload the agent from the Oracle Enterprise Manager, but it is not working. The old agent is still going on. It gives me many troubles since I can't start the SMB server from Window 2000 terminal console. I have to go to the computer room to start SMB natively. Is there any better way to test an agent or start the SMB server in the Window 2000 terminal console?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Jailcorder requires a jail broken iDevice to work. While it is not illegal to jail brake your iPhone in the US it is illegal to jail break an iPad.
If you do that you will not be able to use these board for help as the discussion of anything relating to a jail broken iDevice is against the TOU and the hosts will remove your posts
In addition looking tha Jailcorder it seems it has not kept up with Apple. It doesn;t work Xcode 5 and IOS 7.
On final thing to keep in mind a jail broken device behaves differently then one that is non jail broken. So even of you test with Jailcode you will still need to go through testing with a non jail broken device before submitting.
All in all if you are serious about developing for IOS it would seem the better course is to get the Developer account now.

Have you got a better idea? Is there a better way? ( arrays )

Hello!
First post here and ofcourse it is a question I hopo you people don't mind. I will get right to the point:
I have a picture , or to be precise the pixels of a picture stored as a 3 dimensional array in the form of
img[y][x][color].
Since I am working on grayscale the color doesn't matter , so de facto I have a 2dim array of X-Y coordinates. For my programm ( a line tracker of sorts) I need to be able to select a subgroup of this array. This subgroup should be equivalent to a small (appr. 10x20 pixels wide) box in the original picture. My problem is that this box could be at any angle, that is it's side do not have to run parallel to the x-y-Axis.
Now how would be the best way of doing this?
My idea is to calculate the lines of the rectangle geometricaly and then try to approximate them onto the array. After that I can use them as boundaries to select every pixel that is inside the box.
Is there a better way? Does somebody have any experience with something similar?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Alexis

Two things to try. Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Is there a better way to do this projection/aggregate query?

Hi,
Summary:
Can anyone offer advice on how best to use JDO to perform
projection/aggregate queries? Is there a better way of doing what is
described below?
Details:
The web application I'm developing includes a GUI for ad-hoc reports on
JDO's. Unlike 3rd party tools that go straight to the database we can
implement business rules that restrict access to objects (by adding extra
predicates) and provide extra calculated fields (by adding extra get methods
to our JDO's - no expression language yet). We're pleased with the results
so far.
Now I want to make it produce reports with aggregates and projections
without instantiating JDO instances. Here is an example of the sort of thing
I want it to be capable of doing:
Each asset has one associated t.description and zero or one associated
d.description.
For every distinct combination of t.description and d.description (skip
those for which there are no assets)
calculate some aggregates over all the assets with these values.
and here it is in SQL:
select t.description type, d.description description, count(*) count,
sum(a.purch_price) sumPurchPrice
from assets a
left outer join asset_descriptions d
on a.adesc_no = d.adesc_no,
asset_types t
where a.atype_no = t.atype_no
group by t.description, d.description
order by t.description, d.description
it takes <100ms to produce 5300 rows from 83000 assets.
The nearest I have managed with JDO is (pseodo code):
perform projection query to get t.description, d.description for every asset
loop on results
if this is first time we've had this combination of t.description,
d.description
perform aggregate query to get aggregates for this combination
The java code is below. It takes about 16000ms (with debug/trace logging
off, c.f. 100ms for SQL).
If the inner query is commented out it takes about 1600ms (so the inner
query is responsible for 9/10ths of the elapsed time).
Timings exclude startup overheads like PersistenceManagerFactory creation
and checking the meta data against the database (by looping 5 times and
averaging only the last 4) but include PersistenceManager creation (which
happens inside the loop).
It would be too big a job for us to directly generate SQL from our generic
ad-hoc report GUI, so that is not really an option.
KodoQuery q1 = (KodoQuery) pm.newQuery(Asset.class);
q1.setResult(
"assetType.description, assetDescription.description");
q1.setOrdering(
"assetType.description ascending,
assetDescription.description ascending");
KodoQuery q2 = (KodoQuery) pm.newQuery(Asset.class);
q2.setResult("count(purchPrice), sum(purchPrice)");
q2.declareParameters(
"String myAssetType, String myAssetDescription");
q2.setFilter(
"assetType.description == myAssetType &&
assetDescription.description == myAssetDescription");
q2.compile();
Collection results = (Collection) q1.execute();
Set distinct = new HashSet();
for (Iterator i = results.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
Object[] cols = (Object[]) i.next();
String assetType = (String) cols[0];
String assetDescription = (String) cols[1];
String type_description =
assetDescription != null
? assetType + "~" + assetDescription
: assetType;
if (distinct.add(type_description)) {
Object[] cols2 =
(Object[]) q2.execute(assetType,
assetDescription);
// System.out.println(
// "type "
// + assetType
// + ", description "
// + assetDescription
// + ", count "
// + cols2[0]

// + cols2[1]);
q2.closeAll();
q1.closeAll();

Neil,
It sounds like the problem that you're running into is that Kodo doesn't
yet support the JDO2 grouping constructs, so you're doing your own
grouping in the Java code. Is that accurate?
We do plan on adding direct grouping support to our aggregate/projection
capabilities in the near future, but as you've noticed, those
capabilities are not there yet.
