Is there a recommended (maximum) size for a catalog?

I'm loading all my photos into PSE9 Organizer on my new MacBook Pro and was wondering if there is a recommended maximum size for a catalog? On my PC I separated my catalogs by year. My 2011 folder contains over 11,000 photos and is 71GB. Is that pushing the limits for efficiency or could I combine years?

One catalog for all of your photos makes sense. Alternatively, as Ken said, catalogs by relatively non-overlapping subject matter areas make sense. I still see no scenario where catalogs by years makes sense, unless you can honestly say that you can remember the years of all of your 68000 photos.
Tags and albums let you organize in ways that are nearly impossible using folders. If your daughter is named Jennifer, for example, and you assign the Jennifer tag to all photos that contain her image, then later when you want to search for pictures of Jennifer, you simply click the tag and boom, there are the photos instantaneously. You don't need to know what folder the photos are in, nor do you need to know what date the photos were taken. If you want photos of Jennifer over the years at Christmas, this is a simple search once you tag the photos, and nearly impossible using folders. The possibilites are endless. You let PSE remember where the photos are, so you don't have to. You let PSE do the searching, instead of you searching the folders.

Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

Hi,
My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above. 
All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

There's a maximum size for the header-I need more room

This is a weird one for me. I am making a worksheet for my students and I'm making them in sets of four so they can work together. About 2/3rds of each page is the same, with a list of different words at the bottom. So I want to put the top 2/3rds of each page into the header, since I need to make 10 sets of these.
But I can't. Pages won't let me make a header that goes more than about a third of the way down the page. Anything entered lower than that is cut off.
What's the point of this restriction? Forget that—is there any way around it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter,
Don't use a header. Place the fixed text into a floating text box in a Pages word processing document.
Resize the box to fit within the document margins, and place it where you want it on the page.
Apply Wrap to prevent 'regular' text from sliding over or under the text box.
With the box selected, go Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
The text box (and its text) will appear on each page until you enter a Section Break. The rest of the page will contain whatever text you enter in that area.

Barry

Maximum size for an HttpRequest? Set Content-Length?

Hi, I'm managing to get small strings sent from my applet to my servlet, but when I try anything bigger, I get problems. Oddly enough, the larger object can get sent to my applet from my servlet without any issues.
Can anyone tell me if there is a maximum size for sending responses?
Or, if I have to set the content-length property in my applet before I send my data, how do I get the size of my object so I can set it?
thanks for any advice any of you might have

Thanks for the pointers.
BalusC, at first I was trying to write my object without sending it through a byteStream first (hence the q) :), tried it that way too and wouldn't work.
I finally figured out that it wasn't the code that was the problem, but it was an upload issue (server specific). Have changed the code to sending one line of data at a time since I was converting my object to an output file in the servlet anyway. Not the best solution but it works :)
Thanks again

Is there a maximum size for photos used in a slideshow? I cannot anymore put my slideshow into a wmv

Is there a maximum size for photos imported in a slideshow ? I cannot anymore put my slide show into a wmv file.

About CLOB size, it's 4Go not 4000 characters - VARCHAR2 supports up to 4000 bytes. Pay attention also to unicode encoding!
Are you using CFQUERYPARAM to insert into the CLOB fields ?
<CFQUERYPARAM CFSQLTYPE="CF_SQL_CLOB" VALUE=" ">
use the Firebug extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) in Firefox3 and do some network monitoring: let me know what you're seeing there.

Is there a maximum size for iTunes library

Is there a maximum size for the iTunes libary for windows 7?

Not as far as I know.
My Music Library has 17080 songs (108.38 GB) in it, plus films, Podcasts and a few iTunes U programmes, and I am aware of others using this forum who have larger libraries than I do.

I want to set a maximum size for pictures when FF shows websites. How can i do that? NO I DONT MEAN "HOW TO ZOOM".

I have FF 34 but this problem has been there for a lot of earlier versions. On many webpages there are pictures that cover my whole screen, and I want to set maximum size for showing images on webpages.
I ONLY wanr to change the maximum size of the images, AND IAM NOT asking about how to zoom the webpage.

Do you want to hide large images or merely make them smaller by setting a max-width and max-height?
You would probably have to use JavaScript (bookmarklet) to achieve this reliably.
There are bookmarklets to make large images fit in the window to avoid a horizontal scroll bar
You can try this code in the userContent.css file (adjust the max-width accordingly).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
<pre><nowiki>img { max-width: 1024px !important; height: auto !important; }</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

Maximum size for SD card for N70

hi
can anybody please tell me the maximum size for SD card for the N70?
i only have 64MB at the moment and i want to upgrade.
many thanks in advance.

Just to make sure you don't buy the wrong card: An "SD card" is a very specific type of a memory card. The N70 does *NOT* support SD cards, but rather a card format knows as "DV RS-MMC" (Dual Voltage Reduced Size - MultiMedia Card) or "MMCmobile".
In any case, it'll probably support any size DV RS-MMC/MMCmobile card that you can find (I think the largest available are 1GB these days, possibly 2GB).
Note that there is also a non-dual voltage version of the RS-MMC card. It won't work, so make sure your card says "Dual Voltage" or "MMCmobile".

Maximum size for autoflow?

Hi,
Is there a maximum size for autoflowing documents? Or possibly a maximum complexity?
We have a large Word docx document, with many (400+) footnotes and a few cross-references. On trying to import it to ID CS5, it manages to import the text (the first page arrives, and we get a missing fonts message); but as soon as we try to autoflow throughout the rest of the document, the program freezes.
I've been slowly paring the document down to smaller and smaller sizes, but anything over about 60pp in Word seems to freeze InDesign's autoflow.
I've tried saving the Word files out as RTF files: this seems to help, and we can place up to about 160pp, but that's still a very long way short of the complete document.
I've also tried saving the Word files out to Word 2003 format; that doesn't seem to do as well as the RTF files.
If I break down the Word files into chunks small enough for ID to handle, then the autoflow works fine: but then we have to go through and replace all the cross-references that have been put in by the original author, as they end up referring to different Word files (which isn't possible, as far as we can tell).
So, is there an upper limit on the file size that we can place, or just a limit on the number of footnotes or cross-references that we can import? Or could it be (in a unsurprising way) that I'm missing something really obvious?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

A maximum on the number of footnotes? Hmmm ... Okay, let's try. (Several minutes of frantic copying later:)
(That's in CS4, not '5, but since there are no improvements in the footnotes I'm fairly certain it didn't get worse either.)
Both CS4 and CS5 behave horribly when importing Word files (as this one-and-a-half year old blog post proves: http://www.betalogue.com/2009/02/12/indesign-cs4-bugs/), and so I have a developed a habit of nail-biting-then-followed by importing troublesome Word files with CS3. Try that, if you have one lying around. It's easy: import into CS3, save, open that with CS4 (or CS5), done.
If you don't have the older version, try to make it InDesign as easy as humanly possible. Open the document in Word, and:
* Switch off Track Changes and Accept All that are still logged.
* Search for images, first using the shortcut code "^g", and then by browsing (since Word -- heh heh heh -- cannot always find all of its own images!). Delete the images.
* Remove all section breaks.
* Save As an older Word version -- '97 might do the trick. Newer Word file formats suffer from feature bloat as much as any of Adobe's programs.
With InDesign, don't import it into a document that's bursting at the seams with paragraph/character styles and master pages. Make a temporary new, blank document, and import into that. When you got it, you can safely copy-and-paste into the real target document.
The number of pages ID can import at once has not been a problem for me, yet. I've successfully imported single Word docs that came in as a +1500 page document -- after applying formatting, 700 pages of real text remained. (At that point everything turned .. a .. bit .. slowwww ... so I cut it up into separate files, after doing as much 'global' search-and-replaces as I could stand.)

Maximum size for Elements 6.0 catalog

Is there a maximum size for a singular catalog to keep it operating efficiently? Everything I read is that the maximum size is dependent on your hard drive space. I recently had to restore everything from a backup due to a fatal crash. I keep my photo files on an external, USB powered hard drive. Right now I have over 41,000 photos which is about 125 GB. These are family photos I would like to keep together for tagging but am I pushing my Organizer beyond its limits?

My catalog is on my external hard drive. Here is the information from Help->System Info.:
Current Catalog:
Catalog Name:
Catalog Location: F:\\
Catalog Size: 133.7MB
Catalog Cache Size: 841.8MB
When I look on the external drive, there are 5 files under the F: drive (my external hard drive). How do I moved the Catalog.psedb, backupCT.dat, collstatus.dat, itemData.mk4, tagstatus.dat, thumb.5.cache? Can I copy/paste to a new folder within my C: drive or do I need to do something within PSE? The next step I haven't mentioned is that once I get my PSE 6.0 up and running after its fatal crash, I want to convert to 8.0. Currently, I'm getting a "cannot convert" error message in 8.0 and that I need to repair my catalog in 6.0. When I try to repair, I'm told there are "no errors". If you have a link for instructions to convert to 8.0 too, it be most helpful! Thanks for all your help!!

Maximum Size for documents?

Is there a maximum size for a Pages document? I am trying to insert pictures into a travel journal and have got as far as 60 something pages with 44 pages having photos at various angles/shadows etc. but the program has slowed right down and now whenever I try to import another photo the program quits with various error messages. The initial text was formatted using word and I am wondering if this was the problem. The File size is 240 megabytes. My Macbook pro has 2 gig memory and I have a 250 Gig HD so space should not be an issue. Any thoughts?

No explanations available.
This morning, after reading your question I made a test.
I built a Pages document with 99 huge pictures (from 60 Kbytes to 28.6 Mbytes)
The document is now 521.1 Mbytes.
It behaves flawlessly.
To get rid of possible oddities linked to the document origin,
export the document as text to get rid of every odd items.
Open the text in Pages then copy the pictures.
I apologizes but as far as I know, there is no other workaround.
Complementary details:
When my document is open,
Pages uses 1.24 Gbytes in Ram and 1.49 Gbytes in virtual memory (which is HD space).

There is a maximun size for an instance?

Hi,
I want to know if there is a maximun size for a instance and if it's possible to increase it? Because in my process the users need to atach really big files to each instance.
Thanks in advance

Agree you can change the size of the instance in both Studio and Enterprise, but do so with caution.
Know you know this, but when you bump into the max instance size limit, you run the risk of hurting the Oracle BPM Engine's performance. This can be avoided in a couple ways. My preference would always be to go with the first option discussed below.
Separated Instance Variable
Here's your first option. There are different categories of instance variables. Long story short - consider making the large object that you're storing as an instance variable a "Separated" instance variable.
As the name implies, it will then store this variable in a separate table from the other instance variables and will not be included in the max instance size calculation. This will have the pleasant side effect of keeping your instance size smaller and your engine performance higher.
Bump the Limit in the Engine Preferences
Here's your second option. In Studio (there's a similar setting in Enterprise) you can increase the default max instance size by right mouse clicking the project's name in the Project Navigator tab and click Engine Preferences. In the Engine category, click the Advanced tab on the right and you'll see a setting for Maximum Instance Size. Don't get carried away - bumping this up too high is a sure way to hurt your engine's performance. This would serve as a fix you could apply immediately in an emergency without having to change anything in any process.
Use a Database
A third option would be to store large amounts of instance information in a separate database instead of as an instance variable. When needed, you'd just need to read it from the database only storing the primary key as the instance variable.
Sorry for the long winded answer. Know you know this, but hope it helps,
Dan

Set Maximum size for a subpanel created with splitter bars in LV8

Does anyone know how to set the Maximum size for a subpanel created with asplitter bar? If I show one cluster in the subpanel and use the scroll bar to scroll, I can see more (blank) area than I want. I just want the user to be able to scroll a cluster within a subpanel while the cluster is larger than the view area of the subpanel. I don't want to let the user scroll outside the cluster.
Ravi Beniwal

I apologize for the mixup in terminology. Please read Pane wherever the word Subpanel was used.
Please see the attached VI for a description of my problem.
I would really appreciate any help with this.

ALBPM 6.0 : The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.

Hi,
I use AquaLogic BPM Entreprise server to deploy my Process. When I try to publish a process on my server I get the following error:
An unexpected error ocurred.
The error's technical description is:
"javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null"
Possible causes are:
The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.
If you are trying to publish an exported project you should publish it using the remote project option.
If you are trying to upload the participant's photo you should choose a smaller one.
An internal error has ocurred, please contact support attaching this page's source code.
Has someone resolve it?
Thank's.

Hi,
Sure you've figured this out by now, but when you get the "Maximum size for file uploads" error during publish consider:
1. if your export project file is over 10mb, use "Remote Project" (instead of "Exported Project") as the publication source. That way when you select the remote project, you will point to ".fpr" directory of the project you are trying to publish.
Most times your project is not on a network drive that the server has access to. If this is the case, upload the .exp file to the machine where the Process Administrator is running, then expand it in any directory (just unzip the file). Then, from the Process Administrator, use the option to publish a Remote Project by entering the path to the .fpr directory you just created when unzipping the project.
2. Check to see if you have cataloged any jars and marked them as non-versionable. Most of the times the project size is big just because of the external jar files. So as a best practice, when you do a project export select the option "include only-versionable jars", that will get reduce the project size considerably (usually to Kb's). Of course you have to manually copy the Jar files to your Ext folder.
hth,
Dan

Maximum recommended file size for public distribution?

I'm producing a project with multiple PDFs that will be circulated to a goup of seniors aged 70 and older. I anticipate that some may be using older computers.
Most of my PDFs are small, but one at 7.4 MB is at the smallest size I can output the document as it stands. I'm wondering if that size may be too large. If necessary, I can break it into two documents, or maybe even three.
Does anyone with experience producing PDFs for public distribution have a sense of a maximum recommended file size?
I note that at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ the Internal Revenue Service hosts 2,012 PDFs, of which only 50 are 4 MB or larger.
Thanks!

First Open the PDF Use Optimizer to examine the PDF.
a Lot of times when I create PDF's I end up with a half-dozen copies of the same font and fontfaces. If you remove all the duplicates that will reduce the file size tremendously.
Another thing is to reduce the dpi of any Graphicseven for printing they don't need to be any larger than 200DPI.
and if they are going to be viewed on acomputer screen only no more than 150 DPI tops and if you can get by with 75DPI that will be even better.
Once you set up the optimized File save under a different name and see what size it turns out. Those to thing s can sometimes reduce file size by as much as 2/3's.

Is there a recommended (maximum) size for a catalog?
