Is there any benefit to the "System" if I regularly log out?

Hi all,
Is there any system changes that occur when I log out that could be considered a benefit  for performance?
Or is there a downside to it?
So long for now, TOM

HI,
Responding to the comment, "If you're using it as a workstation/desktop system then that's a different issue that requires additional thought."
Yes. I am speaking of good "old fashioned" desktop computing.  We used to have things happen in the bad old days, like memory leaks which got swept out after a reboot.
I understand Mac OS is a modern OS and got past those issues.
I was just wondering what actually goes on when you "log out." After a week of running all kinds of different apps, I was wondering if a "clean page" log in was a smart idea or not.
For example, weekly I run Cocktail which I understand does a bit of "housecleaning" that is desirable.
I love being able to have such a reliable OS. Thanks Apple!
Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

  • Is there any benefit for me to use smart previews if my Lightroom 5 catalog, previews and media are all on the same external USB HD?

    I keep everything on 1 External USB3 HD so that I can pug it into my Mac at home or my PC at work and just keep working without syncing anything to the local machine. So is there any benefit with Smart Previews in this case? I heard somewhere that it might make the Develop module a little quicker, but is this only when using the Smart Preview and not the full res image?

    Lr uses smart previews instead of ACR cache for initial develop-module view when photos are online - amount of benefit is, in my experience, very minor (not noticeable without using a stop-watch..).
    But if photos are offline, you may experience more substantial savings.
    Note: smart previews are reduced resolution - smart previews of raw files are 2560 x (say) 1920, so if your original raws were say 5120 x 3840, then you/Lr are dealing with 1/4 the number of pixels when editing via smart previews.
    Anyway, if you are willing to give up zoom for one edit pass, you can resize the smart previews so 1:1 fits in your allotted display space (e.g. 1280 x 960, which would be 1/8 number of pixels..), e.g. using the PreviewExporter plugin - then things may be significantly faster in develop module. PreviewExporter also has a feature to take originals offline, and put them back online.
    To be clear: the amount of savings may or may not be dramatic - how much there is depends on your system, size of raw vs. smart preview image, number and type of edits applied, etc..
    Why don't you try it and tell us what you think?!

    The advantage is the susceptibility of Windows systems to viruses and passing those along.  While they may not affect, or infect, a Mac OS X systems, thy can be passed through to others.

  • Is there any benefit to keep the RAW file after editing outside Lightroom creates a TIFF

    When working with RAW files in Lightroom and you choose to edit in Photoshop, the only option is "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (Edit Original is grayed out).  This creates a .TIFF so after you come back from Photoshop you now have two copies of the photo--the RAW file and a TIFF version.
    In my normal workflow, I make additional edits to the TIFF file in addition to the changes Photoshop made so I'm left with a "out dated" version of the RAW file.  Is there any benefit to keeping the RAW file at that point?  I'm doubling my disk usage by keeping it.
    Fire away.....

    Answering this question:
    This got me wonderig why LR turns my 25-30mb CR2 RAW files into 80-95 mb TIFF files when it sends them to Photoshop for editing but Photoshop can open the same 25-30 RAW file in DNG format and save it as a 25-30 mb TIFF.  Why are the TIFF's LR creates 3x larger than the ones created by PS?
    Camera RAW file formats are compressed to a small file size using manufacturer proprietary information about the image sensor pixel layout. This provides a more efficient loss-less file compression algorithm than TIFF's LZW or ZIP compression algorithms. LZW or ZIP compression is not used when Lightroom exports and opens an image in Photoshop for editing, but you certainly have that option when saving the file after applying your PS edits. DNG files using loss-less compression can produce a file size slightly smaller than RAW format, but I have no experience with DNG.
    Answering this question:
    CS3 can't read Canon .CR2 RAW files (at least mine can't unless there is a plugin of some kind). 
    Support for newer camera models like your Canon 7D are only added to the then current (and later version) Adobe Camera RAW Converter and Lightroom. Newer Adobe Camera RAW converter versions (6.3) are not supported in older version of Photoshop like CS3. It is the nature of business marketing and also due to the large expense to support older application versions with "new" plug-in features. It would be a support nightmare!
    Hypothetical Example:
    "Why doesn't Adobe Camera RAW 10.3 work properly with my Canon 1600 D MK XV 45 Megapixel camera in Photoshop CS3?"

    Hi Kossa,
    You can also check if the issue occurs in
    Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
    Besides, uninstall it and re-download
    a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
    If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

  • Is there any benefit updating OS 10.6.8 too Lion and Mountain Lion before Maverick?

    is there any benefit updating OS 10.6.8 too Lion and Mountain Lion etc. before updating to Maverick?

    No. Before you upgrade check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Do a backup before you upgrade.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    You might update your profile - shows 10.5

    Hi,
    Maximum number of dimensions 16. Out of 16, 3 are system defined
    1.Datapacket
    2.Time
    3.Unit
    It is restricted to 16 because the maximum no of dimensions in any database is 16.

  • Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?

    Mac OS X has reserved characters that cannot be used in file or folder names. One of them is the colon: It is used by the operating system in paths to designated separate directories and files, exactly as Microsoft uses the backslash character for the same purposed.
    However, Mac OS X is 'supposed' to translate colons to another character when saving files from within an application or the Mac OS X Save dialog. The typical translation is to forward slash or dash. For example, "Bug: Colon Translation" becomes "Bug- Colon Translation". Of if I am saving a web page to a PDF, the source name of an article with this title would change to "Bug/ Colon Translation".
    The bug: The above colon translation process does NOT work reliably in the Mac OS X Save Dialog with reliability. I guestimate that 95% of the time the translation of colons in source titles does NOT work. Using the example of translating a web article title to a PDF saved file, the results are typically the following: "Untitled.pdf". This forces the user to copy then paste in the actual title of the article. THEN, 100% of the time, the colon translation actually works. For example, if I have a web article titled "Bug: Colon Translation", it is extremely rare for that title to be anything but BLOCKED, resulting in 'Untitled.PDF' as the resulting title in the dialog box. When I then copy and paste the source title into the title area, replacing 'Untitled', I get: "Bug- Colon Translation".
    What will happen perhaps 5% of the time: The colon translation of the source title will actually work. When this occurs, using my example above, the OS provides the following translation: "Bug/ Colon Translation". Note that when it works in this situation I get a forward slash, not a dash.
    I research, read and save web articles all day long. A lot of articles use colons. I have to contend with this bug all day long every day. This bug is many years old. I can't recall when it started. But it certainly has been consistent in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard and now 10.7 Lion. Three versions of Lion are enough for me to realize that Apple is either oblivious to this bug or they don't care.
    Clearly, the colon translation CAN work. It is MEANT to work. No one can dispute that. The user is NOT supposed to be messed over with 'Untitled.PDF' files. They are MEANT to have actual PDF file titles, as seen in our example above.
    Therefore the question:
    Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?
    It is incredibly annoying.

    My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
    I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh -  that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

  • Function overloading ... Is there any benefit ?

    Where is the benefit if I write this ..
    using function overloading :
    add(Integer, Integer);
    add(String, String);
    instead of
    addInt(Integer, Integer);
    addStr(String, String);
    Is there any benefit ?

    why you are saying "add() *does not contain an argument type name*"?The statement that you are still claiming to find unclear was 'embed the argument type names in the function name'. The function name 'add()' doesn't do that. Your alternative function name 'addInt() does do that. 'Int'. A type name. Embedded in the function name.
    Am I missing something ?Yes. I don't see how you can agree that add() is shorter than addInt() without also seeing that the difference consists precisely of the embedded type name. Frankly, I don't think you have been reading very carefully.

  • Is there any restriction on the length of all Primary keys in a table
