Keywording and use of capitals - good practice?

Before coming to Aperture, I was used to keywording without capitals except for names. I see Aperture's default keywords all come with capitals.
Looking to the future when metadata starts being read by search engines etc could case sensitivity (if implemented) impact on searches? For examples searches for Mountains not showing mountains.
I feel the safer option is to not capitalise except for names of places, people,etc.
What are other people's thoughts on this?
Ross

Almost all searches are case insensitive. So it shouldn't affect results.
That said, I prefer not to capitalize every word. Only proper nouns for the most part.
I've started to use Controlled Vocabulary (www.controlledvocabulary.com) to help with my keywording and they're not capitalizing so there you go. iStock Photo capitalizes most keywords when I upload, though.

Help needed understanding final keyword and use 3

Hi Everyone,
I have been studying a book on multi-threading and have inadvertently come accross some code that I don't really understand. I am wondering if anybody can explain to me the following:
1). What effect does using the final keyword have when instantiating objects, and
2). How is it possible to instantiate an object from an interface?
public class BothInMethod extends Object
     private String objID;
     public BothInMethod(String objID)
          this.objID = objID;
     public void doStuff(int val)
          print("entering doStuff()");
          int num = val * 2 + objID.length();
          print("in doStuff() - local variable num=" + num);
          // slow things down to make observations
          try{
               Thread.sleep(2000);
          }catch(InterruptedException x){}
          print("leaving doStuff()");
     public void print(String msg)
          String threadName = Thread.currentThread().getName();
          System.out.println(threadName + ": " + msg);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          final BothInMethod bim = new BothInMethod("obj1"); //Use of final on objects?
          Runnable runA = new Runnable()      //Creating objects from an interface?
               public void run()
                    bim.doStuff(3);
          Thread threadA = new Thread(runA, "threadA");
          threadA.start();
          try{
               Thread.sleep(200);
          }catch(InterruptedException x){}
          Runnable runB = new Runnable()
               public void run()
                    bim.doStuff(7);
          Thread threadB = new Thread(runB, "threadB");
          threadB.start();
}If you know of any good tutorials that explain this (preferably URL's) then please let me know. Thanks heaps for your help.

Davo

final BothInMethod bim = new BothInMethod("obj1"); //Use of final on objects?
Runnable runA = new Runnable()      //Creating objects from an interface?
     public void run()
                                bim.doStuff(3);
};Here final is the characteristics of bim reference variable and it is not the characteristics of class BothInMethod
This means u cannot use bim to point to some other object of the same class
i.e, u cannot do this
                   final BothInMethod bim = new BothInMethod("obj1");
                   bim = new   BothInMethod("obj2"); This bim is a constant reference variable which will point only to the object which it is initialized to
and not to any other object of the same class later on.
How is it possible to instantiate an object from an interface?Regarding this yes we cannot create an object from an interface but
but here it is not an interface u are providing the implementation of the interface Runnable
as
new Runnable()
}This now no longer stays an interface but now it is an object that implements the interface Runnable

When filtering by keyword and using "Edit In" with Photoshop, edited file does not show up in list

When I do an "edit in" using CS5 and save it, the edited file does not show up in my LR4 preview window.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

There are two distinct modes by which Edit In... may first open an image into PS: as a fully pre-converted rendered file; or as an on-the-fly converted image in memory.
(When LR opens a PS-edited image a second time into PS, using "Edit Original", the former option is always used.)
In the latter case, it is ACR which does this on-the-fly conversion, working from the original image (as imported into LR) plus your subsequent LR adjustment metadata. This means ACR compatibility with LR becomes an issue - as it is not, with the pre-rendered file option.
There is a useful clue to which mode is being used:
the title of the PS document window, in the case of the on-the-fly conversion, still shows the name of the Raw file (or whatever) that you started with in LR... no file has been saved as yet, to say any different. You can Save or Save as, wherever and under whatever name, and from now on LR will look there for your edited image. Or if you close unsaved, LR has no edited image to show at all.
the title of the PS document window in the pre-rendered case, is the name of a file already saved on disk and already showing in LR. If you then saved this elsewhere, you would merely make a duplicate which LR cannot know about - and if this duplicate is the one which contains your PS work, LR will accordingly not show that. It is busy showing the content of the specific file that was passed to PS.
So, if inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334.dng - you can save it wherever you like. If inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334-edit.tif - you will have to save your changes back to that exact same file, in order for them to be seen in LR.

Is that a good practice to use syncronize methods for application scope cls

Is that a good practice to use synchronize method in a application scope class, so I have a doubt, there a is class A, it has application scope and it contains a synchronized method add, so because of some network traffic or any unexpected exception client1 got stuck in the method, will that add method available for any other client...?

If it needs synchronization, then it probably doesn't belong in the application scope. Either keep it as is, or reconsider the scope, or make it static.

Select images using keywords and view slideshow...using what?

I have a library full of jpeg images that were created either using the export command from LR or by editing in Br/Ps and then savedAs jpeg. Now I want to watch slideshows on my monitor (30" Apple HD Cinema Display). Now I have the following Dilemma:
- I can start a Search Command in Bridge and narrow it down to exactly the images I want in my slide show. Then from the View menu select Slideshow. The IQ is terrible. True sharpness is only revealed when zooming in 100% but that's not the idea of a slide show.
- I can also use Apple OS's (Tiger) built-in slide show and start it from the finder. That way I get high quality, fast dissolving slide shows, that are unfortunately limited to the first 100 images in the Finder view. However, in the Finder I cannot select my images using keywords and IPTC info.
So could there be a simple solution to the problems I'm running into with Bridge?
Or could there be a nice viewer for MacOS that features the search option I want and renders good images and dissolve option?
Thanks.

@Ann Shelbourne: Thanks for your reply. I'm hesitant to upgrade to CS4 at this point. That would mean my only option is to look for a jpeg viewer other than Adobe that can select images based on keywords and iptc data. Would you know one that does?
@Ramon G Castaneda: I apologise for being an inexperienced forum visitor. I will take note of your advice and follow the posting instructions.
I checked FAQ's both here and at Adobe, as well as the knowledge base. No results. I also searched the forum.
My setup: MPB dual core Intel, 2GB RAM, 30GB free disk space. Adobe CS3, just updated to Bridge version 2.1.1.9. No improvement at all so far. According to Ann only CS4 will solve the problem.
Thank you.

Is it good practice to define text elements in User exits & there by using?

Hi Experts,
Simple doubt that, am wrting code in a User Exit. So, here my code works only, if the DOC TYPE = 'XXX'.
So, instead of using hard coding as 'XXX', I wuld like to use a text element, like
if DOC TYPE = text-xxx.
my logic.
endif.
and creating the same text element.
so, let me know that,
Is it safe/recommended to use text-element in exits?
Is it good practice to define text elements in User exits?
thanq

u can also use SET ID's if u dont want to hardcode like that in ur program.
if u use SET ids , no need of transport request in case of change in the DOC types , directly u can change values in that set it , its like a master id.
sytax will be like this
doc_type in g_doc_type(this is set id ).
for creation of set ids see tcode GS01.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
See: Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

Which Event Classes i should use for finding good indexs and statistics for queries in SP.

Dear all,
I am trying to use pro filer to create a trace,so that it can be used as workload in
"Database Engine Tuning Advisor" for optimization of one stored procedure.
Please tel me about the Event classes which i should use in trace.
The stored proc contains three insert queries which insert data into a table variable,
Finally a select query is used on same table variable with one union of the same table variable, to generate a sequence for records based on certain condition of few columns.
There are three cases where i am using the above structure of the SP, so there are three SPS out of three , i will chose one based on their performance.
1) There is only one table with three inserts which gets into a table variable with a final sequence creation block.
2) There are 15 tables with 45 inserts , which gets into a tabel variable with a final
sequence creation block.
3)
There are 3 tables with 9 inserts , which gets into a table variable with a final
sequence creation block.
In all the above case number of record will be around 5 lacks.
Purpose is optimization of queries in SP
like which Event Classes i should use for finding good indexs and statistics for queries in SP.
yours sincerely

"Database Engine Tuning Advisor" for optimization of one stored procedure.

You can use the "Tuning" template to capture the workload to a trace file that can be used by the DETA. See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190957(v=sql.105).aspx
If you are capturing the workload of a production server, I suggest you not do that directly from Profiler as that can impact server performance. Instead, start/stop the Profiler Tuning template against a test server and then script the trace
definition (File-->Export-->Script Trace Definition). You can then customize the script (e.g. file name) and run the script against the prod server to capture the workload to the specified file. Stop and remove the trace after the workload
is captured with sp_trace_setstatus:
DECLARE @TraceID int = <trace id returned by the trace create script>
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @TraceID, 0; --stop trace
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @TraceID, 2; --remove trace definition

Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.
