Just give as a good old fashioned Folders Tree.

I am a RawShooter user and use the LR since the day one. I think it is an excellent piece of software and it is only going to get better.
Back to the topic. I would like to be able to see folder structure, navigate from folder to folder and see pictures in Library module. I do not want to import anything. I do not want data bases. Just let me see my folders and what's inside them. The whole deal with the data base and organizing the pictures is totally unnecessary, if you ask me.
Features like "make folder", "rename folder", "delete folder" are welcome, but not a must. Just do not forget the "Refresh" button.
Best regards,
Ivan

Dierk,
thanks for the message. You wrote:
> To ask for a feature that is counter to a program's paradigm is, at
best, not very helpful. In this case the discussion has been done
during the long public beta phase of LR.
There is no reason in my mind why we should be forced to use LR as a data base. If the LR needs a data base to work with then let the LR create one on the fly. To copy a folder structure and file names into a temporary "so called" data base should be no problem. What else would LR need to work? Thumbnails? Is that the problem? Metadata? No big deal. If RawShooter can do it than LR can do it as well.
I am a programmer myself (numerical analyst, ANSYS, Mathematica, C++, 10 years experience, working for Texas Instruments) and I have pretty good understanding how the LR works. The problem is, I think, that LR team decided what is the best for us and is forcing it down our throats. All I am asking for is: let us choose what is the way we want to use LR. Want a data base? So be it. You do not want it, fine.
Thanks for suggesting other pieces of software. I tried BBP before and I agree that it is a good tool. I own RawShooter, Bibble, Neat Image Pro+, PSE 5 and Corel PSP X. I consider myself an advanced amateur and I think that my opinion is as valuable as anybody's.
I was testing LR Beta and was loosely following the Beta discussions. A lot of people asked for what I am asking for here. LR team did something halfway and now they are trying to tell us that this is all we need and that this is all they could do about it. My point is that neither is true. This is not exactly what we need and there was more that should have been done. LR team should realize that we, the users, always have the final say. Give us what we want.
Some people here suggested that "LR is what it is and if you do not like it than do not use it". Well, I will remind them that the purpose of this forum is to ask for features that we would like LR to have.

[HELP] good old fashion notification-daemon

Hi:
I recently install Archlinux with Openbox. I'm looking for the old style notification daemon: A simple square box in the corner. Like in gnome 2. There any way to get it back?

I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this?

I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this? I allways found that handy. Now I have to click on an icon on the top, This is a backward step if that is now the only way to see the number of items. Am I missing something obvious?

In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way.

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Help--did I just give up my grandfathered unlimited data plan?

Hello all,
I just bought an iphone 4s--upgraded from a Droid smartphone. On my old bill my data plan is "email & web unlimited" for $29.99. Did I made a mistake when ordering the new phone--I clicked on the 2G plan and that is what is shown in my order. Did I just give up my grandfathered plan? I really don't understand all this stuff. Could someone help me understand if that "email & web unlimited" was the grandfathered unlimited data plan I keep seeing discussed on this forum? Does that allow me to upload pictures, stream radio/movies, etc.? Or do I really need one of the tiered plans like the 2G? I will try to revise my order through customer service if need be. Thank you so much.

No, this is not the grandfathered unlimited plan. As soon as you activate your phone, you should call Verizon and have your unlimited plan reinstated. The 2GB plan shouldn't take effect until you activate your new phone, but you could just check to make sure. Once the 2GB plan takes effect, you should have 14 days to have the unlimited plan reinstated, or you will lose it for good.

Weird: why would a network drive named "time-capsule-de" with an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor appear on my home network?

Weird: why would a network drive with the name "time-capsule-de" and an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor suddenly appear on my home network?
It happened shortly after I'd set up a new Time Capsule with our iMac and had transferred the configuration for it over from my old Time Capsule.
I'd just taken the old Time Capsule into another room and powered it up with my MacBook to confirm that Airport Utility's wiping of its settings hadn't affected the old Time Machine backups still stored in it.
I was in the process of tinkering to see how I could use the old Time Capsule, when Airport Utility offered to "extend" my home network, so I tried that setting, and then got a warning that the old Time Capsule and its wifi networks were not yet secure or private. While I was working to fix that, I noticed that in the Finder sidebar and in my Network settings, this mysterious "time-capsule-de" (with an odd old-fashioned PC monitor for an icon) had appeared. I tried to click on it, but could not access it. I also could not eject it. I shut down my old Time Capsule and my MacBook. When I turned the laptop back on, "time-capsule-de" was gone.
What do you all make of that? Should I worry about the security of my home network? I live in an apartment development, so there are more than a dozen stray wifi signals pouring in from other units.
I'd welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!

What is the name of your old Time Capsule? Did you change the name to the new one?
It appears in Finder .. that is to be expected.. it is after all a network drive.. and it has PC symbol more than likely because you are using Mavericks which defaults to SMB network.. ie the computer thinks it is a windows computer.
There is nothing bad or sinister going on.. but you certainly need to ensure your own wireless network is secure..
That is otherwise all fine.
If the TC shows up again, check that it is also in the airport utility and check its MAC address with the label on the bottom.. It will show in the Utility .. then you can compare and check you are reading the right thing.

Reports 10g vs the good old days

Having been running reports from forms since the good/old client-server days, reports 10g is both a blessing and a curse. While it's certainly nice not to have to install software on each and every client box, since reports are now kept in cache on the middle tier app server until the cache hits its max size limitation, other users can issue a ?getjobid=nnn and just fish around for reports that others have run. In the good old days, a user would run a report locally on their desktop, that could be printed, and no one else could look at it. Does anyone out there know how or if a report run on the app server can be run just for the user who has access to it, and not be available to anyone who is "fishing" with getjobid? I'd really like to specify, if I could that the report be cached for just a few minutes. Essentially most of our users generate reports only needed by them and they are very dynamic in nature, so storing them isn't really necessary. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance.

Use the EXPIRATION parameter to specify how long a report is kept in the cache. See the online help.

Good old EJBException question...

I've trawled through this forum for a good explanation of EJBException versus RemoteException. I've not found anything I consider particularly intuitive. In fact, I've been amazed by some of the confusion that seems to exist about this, with some people responding with answers that are simply wrong.
So, for my own enlightenment and hopefully the other people who've asked this question - could someone please give an explanation of when to throw an EJBException, when to throw a RemoteException (if ever) and when to throw another type of Exception?
I'm also interested in what the client is guaranteed to receive in each of these cases and what effect this has on the bean that has thrown it.
And just to keep things good and simple could they try to do it without mentioning "the specification"? I have read the specification but would like to know how it manifests itself in the real world and what is considered "good practice" in this matter.
Many thanks in advance.

hey kevin, you causing problems again!
you've probably seen this article by now on EJBExcepitons at the serverside.com but here is the link anyway:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-ejbexcept.html
EJB exceptions are mine field but there are a couple solid guidelines that i follow when designing my beans with exceptions:
1. Application Exceptions ( not descendants of RuntimeException or RemoteException ) are passed back to the client as is to give them the chance to take the appropriate recovery action. So before you leave your business method, you'd better make damned sure that you don't compromise data integrity. If you can't guarantee data integrity do the EJBContext.setRollbackOnly() thing. Which means that as a client you should get into the habit of doing UserTransaction.getStatus().
2. Runtime Exceptions ( ignore EJBException for now ). I don't catch them but i'm not expecting them, and i don't know what to do with them. Thankfully, the container does (which is to log the exception, throw back RemoteExceptions to remote clients and EJBException to local clients, rollback the transaction and then take the bean instance out of service). So i delegate the handling of runtime exceptions to the container. i do not catch Throwable in my bean methods.
3. System Exception ( EJBExceptions ). Where possible using EJB standard exceptions such as CreateException and FinderException. If my bean throws a checked exception, i need to gauge whether or not i can recover from it. I can't, i wrap it in an EJBException and throw it out for the container to do its stuff ( log, raise client exception, rollback and die ). Otherwise, i perform clean up in my bean to return my resources to the state they were before i started executing this method and raise the checked exception.
In the article above the author's penultimate section talks about when to use an application exception over a system exception. Its always the client the determines which way your go. For example, what should you do during a create ejb you need to look up some data in the database and an SQLException is raised. Within the create method it is an application exception for sure because the system is not compromised, however, from the clients point of view, the bean cannot be created because key data was missing. Hence, the method should wrap the SQLException in an EJBException and throw it out to make sure the bean is not created. (If fact, the method retry something else and if nothing else works raise the EJBException).

ES Repository vs. our good old Integration repository?

As mentioned in my blog, I am posting a set of questions on ESR in this forum as an interesting way of sharing relevant information with the community. In the true spirit of forums, the one who answers the question is rewarded!
What are the differences between the ES Repository and our good old Integration Repository?

Hi,
ok let me give it a try - I can list down some of the new features of ESR over the old IR :
1) ESR has the ARIS for SAP Netweaver integrated where process component models can be developed
2) We have Business Objects in ESR (which were not present in IR). These BO has CRUD operations called the core services combining which the compound services are modeled
3) There is no more Message Interfaces but Service Interfaces only
4) Unlike the Enterprise Services developed using the IR (NW 7.0) now Enterprise Service interfaces developed in ESR can have multiple operations.
5) ESR has a UDDI registry provided by SAP where the Enterprise Services developed in ESR can be directly published.
Thanks,
Dipankar

I can't get rid of "my web search" while powered by google, it sux! I want good old google or google chrome

When firefox opens up, the search window on the right has My Web Search within. often, when I want GOOGLE, I get this "My Web Search", 'powered by google. My searches are terrible...MyWebSearch gives me a lot of worthless [obviously] paid-for search results.
I followed their instructions and deleted it by 'removing the program' in my control panel, etc., through the start menu. yet this lingers, and i can't find it anywhere in my computer memory to try to reemove it again.
It sux!
I want to use good old google!!
Help me get rid of it!!

hello hmsa76l79, please also go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, etc).
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customziations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing. They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera. If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac, follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.) On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted. If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
Here are some more ideas you can consider:
Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be. They may be visible there now.
If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used. Spotlight may give you a list of places to look. If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images. My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types.
You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search. The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility" choice.
debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large. For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks. Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7). You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files. If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images. However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied. To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
You're most welcome.
If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

ok. I hope someone can answer my question. I am new to photoshop. I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work. How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is... Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only. After that, the software ceases to work.
CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe. It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
What kind of "designer" uses it?

Just give as a good old fashioned Folders Tree.
