Keeping Track of File Operations in DW CS5
Hi there.
I've got a general question about keeping track of files changed/moved/renamed etc. in DW CS5.
For example, if I rename a file from within DW, I'm asked if I want to update links. That's all well and good, but other than writing down the name of all the files mentioned in this dialog (which can't be copied using keyboard shortcuts unfortunately), how do I know which midified files need to be uploaded via FTP? Please note, I don't use DW's FTP facilities, but keep my FTP activities separate, using FileZilla.
Another, example - I recently moved a file within the tree structure and all the css broke. I swear I didn't move any css files, but the problem was fixed by back loading the original css files.
Since DW is capable of site-wide file changes, it strikes me as crucial to be able to at least see what has been done, even if changes can only be reversed manually.
So, is there a way of keeping track of these kinds of changes, such as a log other than an FTP log? Is it possible I'm getting into the realms of Version Control (which I so far know nothing about)?
Any help much appreciated,
Robin.

In DW, you would use the Synchronize button to upload only those files that have changed since the last Synchronize.
From puttering around in Google, I found mention of "Enabling timestamp preserving" and then using the "Overwrite if newer" upload action for FZ to essentially do the same thing as the Synchronize button in DW.

Where is the file that keeps track of which mail items were open?
Searching for the file that keeps track of which mail items were open- sometimes it suddenly is shorter, forgets some of the items of mail that was open, in my 'in box' as it were.
just happened to me- 15 emails I wanted to keep open till I answered them are now lost back in the mail stack
any idea where i can find that, retrieve from a backup done last week?
any trick to fixing this problem?
hope so
i gotta track down some of those emails, will be a huge chore to do it one by one
thanksany idea where i can find that, retrieve from a backup done last week?
Good luck with that; it's not likely to happen.
any trick to fixing this problem?
You could just reply to the email right away, rather than putting it off until later, whenever "later" happens to be. Or, you could also put your emails that have not yet been replied to in a separate folder, and move them out into your Inbox when you have replied.

Keeping track of missing files
I recently moved into my college dorm, and to help me out musically I got a 300GB Western Digital MyBook to keep all my tunes on. Unfortunately, I've had a couple problems with it since I've been using it, mainly when I sync up my iPod. Random songs will often come up missing in my library, and I was hoping there might be a way to easily keep track of or hunt these down, similar to the Show Duplicates feature. If not, there really should be because there's nothing quite as frustrating (at least, in iTunes) as thinking a song's playable and available to transfer only to find out that it's actually missing, and I have to go find it in the directory where all the other songs that it knows exist already have been and will always be.
I think I may have solved this issue by copying my Library files into a folder containing the Music folder on my external, just like how the file tree is setup on the internal drive, and then holding option when opening iTunes. I'm not positive that's the best solution, but it might just work.

CS5 keeping track of time spent with a project
I am not sure, if this would qualify as a feature request, or if there is a feture i have just not found yet.
Also i am not sure, if this is or is not a technical question.
Often i would like to know, how many hours i have already spent with one project. So is there any possibility in Premiere / and or After Effects, to see that sort of stats?
Maybe i should find the consistency to keep a book, a pen and a watch on my desk, but i find that hard at times...Yeah, Bill that sounds interesting, a third party tool that keeps track, when a file (in this case pproj) is open / being used.
(so much for on topic...)
Rod:
Too bad, megaplayground has no homepage up (but who am i to judge, i am not a webdesigner, so it takes me quite a while to get my portfolio reworked and by the time it is finally finished, i don't like it anymore, then i start again and the dog bites it's own tail.)
I am sorry, but i'm not sure, what exactly you want to know from me there.
I suppose, you ask about stuff that interests you...
Are they working on AVID, FCP, Pr, Media100 ?
I am quite familiar with AVID in larger companies, have only very basic knowledge of FCP, learned the job on Media100, but that was a couple of years ago and i would say my experiences with Pr are somewhere in the middle.
So i don't feel like i could tell you any smart questions to ask...
Make sure to ask them, if they need someone for editing and Motion Graphics, i would love a trip to nyc for a few months
If you're just getting into this stuff, why don't you just enjoy the tour, chat up the hot girl at the front desk (don't know why, but they always seem to be singles) and check out the coffe?
and there are no dumb questions within or beyond the basics, dumb questions don't exist, the term "dumb question" is only used by people that are not willing or unable to help but at the same time want to make sure, they're seen as a smarter guy than the inquirer...
So happy that's something that is not happening inside this forum as far as i have experienced... there are others, and that's also why i am here.
(was all of that english? it's way past beer fourtyfive and i'm not a native speaker)
aaanyway, have a fun tour and if they run avid, ask them, why their unity writes much bigger files and needs huge raids in comparison to single workstation setups
i think, i am overdoing it a bit with the winking smileys, i hate them and am thinking of a splatter movie involving some guys with faces like these...
What was the OPs topic again? [no, i will not use this smileyfunction now! i am strong, i can resist this childish urge! they will not have my soul! damn.] -
I have an ipad2 and an iphone 3. I also have a PC laptop. The lap top has a program to keep track of my passwords, "Passkeeper" Can I sync with my ipad or iphone? If yes how? If no what app will work on the ipad or phone to keep track of passwords?
ThanksOh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad. Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

I really like the application 1Password, and it works across all the products, Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone. -
Why does PP CS5 not keep my preview files on my Mac?
I love Premiere Pro on my Mac because it interfaces so well with AE. However, every time I render something in my DSLR timeline, shutdown Premiere, then open it later, I have to re-render again.
I am not a novice and I know what I am doing, but I've tried everything and it won't keep my render files.
I want to switch away from Final Cut because I can edit DSLR natively in Premiere, but Final Cut seems to work better.
I am using dual 2.93 ghz quad core Xeon processors, 16gb ram. Internal 4tb raid, 3 external 4tb GRaid firewire drives for video storage. These 3 drives are always attached to my system and are always on when editing. The render files are always there and not on another portable drive somewhere.
I can render my timeline in PPro, then close the program. Open the program back up in a minute and have to re-render.
Any ideas?
Thanks.Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel. -
Utility to keep track of what files a selected application accesses?
Hi there!
I’m hoping to find a troubleshooting utility (or maybe set of command line instructions?) that I’ve not yet run across ...
Basically, it would allow me to +log or track what files a selected application accesses on disk+ (and perhaps when each access occurs (date/time), whether read/write, etc.).
Seems to me it could be very useful to have.
Has anyone run across anything like this?
Many thanks!Nevermind I found it. turns out I needed to add a "title" to that selectedCell

How to pop the stack and keep track of charFlag, in C?
/* Below is am popping the stack, which works, but it does not keep track of the charFlag variable that is pushed onto the stack. Can you help me with modifying this *char pop (stackNodePtr ptr) so when it pops the value from the stack, and keeps track of the charFlag?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance!!!
Note: This posts is an offspring of my previous question: _"Why is the stack, written in C, converting + to ascii 42 ?"_. I want to thank Xnav for the excellent suggestion of including a character flag to keep track of the datatype being pushed onto the stack. Thank you etresoft for variable renaming comment.
typedef struct stackNode {
int value;
int charFlag;
struct stackNode *next;
}stackNode;
typedef stackNode * StackNodePtr;
char pop( StackNodePtr *ptr )
if( StackIsEmpty(*ptr))
printf("
Pop attempted, but the Stack is empty, or underflow");
exit(2);//needed stdlib.h to work
else
char sTop;
StackNodePtr old;
if( (old = (StackNodePtr ) malloc( sizeof (StackNodePtr) )) == NULL )
printf("
No memory left for pop operation");
sTop = (*ptr)->value;
old = *ptr;
*ptr = (*ptr)->next;
free(old);
return (sTop);//I added a global variable int gCharFlag to keep track of the popped charFlag. Will the code below work, or should I just return (*ptr)? Thank you once again!
//struct, typedef and gCharFlag are stored inside of a .h file
typedef struct stackNode {
int value;
int charFlag;
struct stackNode *next;
}stackNode;
typedef stackNode * StackNodePtr;
int gCharFlag;//global variable, which is stored inside of a .h file
//below method is stored inside of a .c file
char pop( StackNodePtr *ptr )
if( StackIsEmpty(*ptr))
printf("
Pop attempted, but the Stack is empty, or underflow");
exit(2);//needed stdlib.h to work

char sTop;
StackNodePtr old;

printf("
No memory left for pop operation");
sTop = (*ptr)->value;
gCharFlag = (*ptr)->charFlag;
old = *ptr;
*ptr = (*ptr)->next;
free(old);
return (sTop);//to return the struct node, then it would be return (*ptr), correct? -
My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support! -

Hi all,
I am writing a VI for measuring data and inserting it into a database. The measurements are controlled by a loop that runs once every minute. I want to give each measurement a unique id number and store this too in the database.
To do this, I want to add a counter to this loop so that I can count the number of times the loop has executed in total. This is, even if the VI, LabVIEW or even th PC is restarted, I want the counter to keep track of the number of executions. If say, the loope executes two times and then the VI is stopped and restarted, I want the following number on the counter to be three.
Does anyone have an idea about how to do this? I am gratefule for any help!

Solved!
Go to Solution.Not allowed to give away code but I can describe one of my "Totalizers" used to keep track of how much stuff has passed through a fliter so we know when to change it.
THe Total izer is implemented as an Action Engine.
It has three actions (methods)
1) Init - Opens an ini file and reads the last values read and cahces these in shift registers. It also inits a timer so we now how long since the last file I/O.
2) Update - Uses the data passed by the caller to update the totals. It also checks how long since the last save and if more than one minute it writes to the ini file (forced write).
3) Read - returns the totals for display and evealuating if a an alarm should be triggered to change the filter.
Note:
THe pre-LV 8.6 version of the ini file exposed methods to allow writing to the file. The new ini functions do not expose that functionality and require closing the file.

Sudden problem with importing tiff files with alpha channel (CS5)
OK this is driving me nuts. For years I have been importing image files that have an alpha channel into FCP as.tiff files. I use Photoshop files only when I want to use the layers as they are too cumbersome otherwise). I have recent upgraded Photoshop, etc. to CS5 and now FCP won't import them anymore. I get a message saying: "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
I am not doing anything different and tiff files created in just the same way in an earlier version of Photoshop import and work just fine. Is this a CS5 bug? Does anyone know of a work around. I want to keep using tiff files as they seem to work best for me with alpha channel work (and I don't see why I need to reinvent the wheel).
Thanks
AI've had a similar issue recently. Same TIFF files downloaded from the same server, different FCP project, new error. I either see"File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown" or I get the even stranger, "Unrecognized file type."
I can open them in PS and save them again as TIF, same results. I know these are not CMYK files but even if resave the TIF as RGB, I get the same results, they are not recognized by FCP.
But if I open them in PS and save them as PNG with alpha, they improt fine.
I have no idea what's going on.

Best way to keep track of family members, etc
Hi-
I am a hobby photographer, and have been playing around with the trial version Aperture to replace iPhoto, and I have some questions.
1. What is the best way to keep track of family members? For example, I like to basically keep track by setting keywords, adding a keyword for each family member & dog. Is this still the way to do it in aperture, or is there a different solution?
2. If keywords are still the way, what is the fastest way to do this (in particular for multiple files at a time)? The various keyword buttons & shortcuts seem to only apply to one image at a time, whereas the batchchange option seems to only rely on freeform text-- which makes it likely that somewhere along the line I will get a typo.
Thanks,
-jamieYou can apply a keyword to multiple images by selecting a group of images and dropping a keyword from the keyword HUD onto one of the selected images.
I created keywords in the keyword HUD for family members, events (Christmas, Birthday, Vacation etc.), and some other things. Keywords you have already typed into an image will be in the keyword HUD already. I created a hierarchy of keywords such as:
People
-Family
--(names)
-Friends
--(names)
Events
-Holidays
--Christmas
--Halloween
Sorry for the dashes to show the indentations. I tried spaces but they didn't work for some reason.

I have a mac os 10.5.8, i want to upgrade to mac os snow leopard, can i keep all my files (documents, music on itunes) without backing up all the files first on a external device prior to the upgrade?
I strongly advise against upgrading the OS without first making a backup. Were something to go wrong you would lose all your files without the backup. See:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).
